HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO
WORK

Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to adjust the
speed of your vehicle to maintain a set gap
from the vehicle in front of you in the same
lane while following it to a complete stop.
You can also engage the system to follow a
vehicle in front of you and adjust set speed
while stopped.

WHAT IS ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH LANE CENTERING

Adaptive cruise control with lane centering
uses radar and camera sensors to help keep
your vehicle in the lane by applying
continuous assistance steering torque input
toward the lane center on highways.

Note:

The adaptive cruise control gap setting

operates normally.

WHAT IS INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL

Intelligent adaptive cruise control combines
speed sign recognition with adaptive cruise
control to adjust the cruise set speed to the
speed limit detected by the speed sign
recognition system. For example, if the speed
sign recognition system detects a 50 mph
(80 km/h) speed limit, the cruise set speed
is updated to 50 mph (80 km/h) +/- the
driver's selected speed offset.

Note:

The adaptive cruise control gap setting

operates normally.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

always decelerate quickly enough to avoid
a crash without driver intervention. Apply
the brakes when necessary. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

306

Adaptive Cruise Control

 (If Equipped)

Hilly Condition Usage

You should select a lower gear when the
system is active in situations such as
prolonged downhill driving on steep grades,
for example in mountainous areas. The
system needs additional engine braking in
these situations to reduce the load on the
vehicle’s regular brake system to prevent it
from overheating.

Note:

An audible alarm sounds and the

system shuts down if it applies brakes for an
extended period of time. This allows the
brakes to cool. The system functions
normally again after the brakes cool.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
LIMITATIONS - VEHICLES WITH:
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
WITH LANE CENTERING

Adaptive cruise control limitations apply to
lane centering unless stated otherwise or

Note:

Keep the front of your vehicle free of

dirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors, aftermarket lights, additional
paint or plastic coatings could also degrade
sensor performance.

A message displays if something obstructs
the camera or the sensor. When something
blocks the sensor, the system cannot detect
a vehicle ahead and does not function.  See

How Does Adaptive Cruise Control With
Stop and Go Work

 (page 305).

The radar sensor has a limited field of view.
It may not detect vehicles at all or detect a
vehicle later than expected in some
situations. The lead vehicle image does not
illuminate if the system does not detect a
vehicle in front of you.

308

Adaptive Cruise Control

 (If Equipped)

Detection issues can occur:

E71621

When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.

B

With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.

There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front when
driving into and coming out of a
bend or curve in the road.

C

In these cases, the system may brake late or
unexpectedly.

If something hits the front end of your vehicle
or damage occurs, the radar-sensing zone
may change. This could cause missed or
false vehicle detection.

Optimal system performance requires a clear
view of the road by the windshield-mounted

Following a Vehicle

When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the
same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to
maintain the gap setting.

Note:

When you are following a vehicle and

you switch on a turn signal lamp, adaptive
cruise control may provide a small,
temporary acceleration to help you pass.

Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap from
the vehicle ahead until:

•

The vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed.

•

The vehicle in front of you moves out of
the lane you are in.

•

You set a new gap distance.

The system applies the brakes to slow down
your vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance
from the vehicle in front of you.  The system
only applies limited braking.  You can
override the system by applying the brakes.

Note:

The brakes may emit noise when

applied by the system.

If the system determines that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient, an audible
warning sounds, a message appears in the
