HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WORK

Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts your
vehicle speed to maintain a selected gap
between you and the vehicle in front of you
in the same lane. The system uses sensors
to maintain the speed and gap. You can
select four different gap settings.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

You are responsible for

WARNING:

Do not use adaptive

cruise control on winding roads, in heavy
traffic or when the road surface is
slippery. This could result in loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death.

WARNING:

Pay close attention to

changing road conditions such as
entering or leaving a highway, on roads
with intersections or roundabouts, roads
without visible lanes of travel, roads that
are winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep
slopes.

WARNING:

The system is not a

crash warning or avoidance system.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

when towing a trailer that has
aftermarket electronic trailer brake
controls. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Do not use tire sizes

other than those recommended because
this can affect the normal operation of
the system. Failure to do so may result
in a loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

with a snow plow blade installed.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow.

When Following a Vehicle

WARNING:

When following a

vehicle that is braking, your vehicle does
not 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.

Hilly Condition and Trailer Tow
Usage

You should select a lower gear when the
system is active in situations such as
prolonged downhill driving on steep slopes,
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.

272

Adaptive Cruise Control

(If Equipped)

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.

Note:

When towing with adaptive cruise

control, switch on Tow/Haul Mode and
Diesel Engine Brake.

Note:

Tow/Haul mode increases the time

gaps and allows more distance for braking.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
LIMITATIONS

Sensor Limitations

WARNING:

On rare occasions,

detection issues can occur due to the
road infrastructures, for example bridges,
tunnels and safety barriers. In these
cases, the system may brake late or
unexpectedly. At all times, you are
responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening,
if required.

WARNING:

If the system

malfunctions, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.

WARNING:

Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor
performance.

WARNING:

The system only warns

of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

The system may not

detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).

WARNING:

The system does not

detect pedestrians or objects in the road.

WARNING:

The system does not

detect oncoming vehicles in the same
lane.

WARNING:

The system may not

operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction.

WARNING:

The sensor may

incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning.

Note:

You cannot see the sensor. It is

behind a fascia panel.

273

Adaptive Cruise Control

(If Equipped)

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 Work

(page 272).

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.

Detection Issues Can Occur:

E71621

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

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.

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.

274
