Adaptive
Cruise
Control
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) helps you maintain
a safe distance between you and vehicles in front
of you, eliminating the need to resetyour Cruise
Control after braking. When you approach a
slower-moving vehicle in front of you, ACC will
automatically slow down to that vehicle's speed
and maintain a safe distance. When the vehicle is
no longer present, ACC will accelerate back to the
stored speed.
There are four preset distance settings
that can be adjusted
using the
distance
switch on top of the stalk. The default
is distance 3 and will reset to that each
time you turn on the ignition.
‘Adaptive Cruise Control: Optional feature available on all trim lines.
Important Safety Instructions and Warnings: Cruise Control & Adaptive Cruise Control
Always pay attention to the traffic around you when the Cruise Control is in operation. You are
always
responsible for your speed
and
the distance
between your vehicle and other vehicles.
For
safety
reasons. Cruise Control should not be used in the
city,
in stop-and-go traffic, on winding roads and when road conditions are poor (such as ice,
fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydroplaning) because this increases the risk of an accident.
Switch the Cruise Control off temporarily when driving in turning lanes, highway exits or in construction zones.
Please note that unconsciously "resting" your foot on the accelerator pedal prevents the Cruise Control from braking. This is due to the control system
being overridden by the driver's acceleration.
If a brake system malfunction, such as overheating, occurs when the Cruise Control system is switched on, the braking function in the system may be
switched off. The rest of the Cruise Control system functions remain active as long as the indicator light is on.
You should only return to the saved speed if it is not too fast for the current traffic conditions
-
risk of an accident!
Improper use of Adaptive Cruise Control can cause collisions, other accidents and serious personal injury.
Never let the comfort and convenience that Adaptive Cruise Control and braking guard offer distract you from the need to be alert to traffic conditions
and the need to remain in full control of your vehicle
at
all times.
Always remember that the Adaptive Cruise Control and braking guard have limits: they will not slow the vehicle down or maintain the set distance
when you drive toward an obstacle or something on or near the road that is not moving, such
as
vehicles stopped in
a
traffic jam or a stalled or disabled
vehicle. If registered by the radar sensors, vehicles or obstacles that are not moving can trigger
a
collision warning and if confirmed by the video
camera, an acute collision warning.
For
safety
reasons, do not
use
Adaptive Cruise Control when driving on roads with many curves, when the road surface is in poor condition and/or in bad
weather (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydroplaning). Using the system under these conditions could result in
a
collision.
Switch Adaptive Cruise Control off temporarily when driving in turning lanes, on expressway exits or in construction zones. This prevents the vehicle
from accelerating to the set speed when in these situations.
The Adaptive Cruise Control system will not brake
by
itself if
you
putyourfoot on the accelerator pedal. Doing
so
can override the speed and distance
regulation.
When approaching stationary
objects,
such
as
stopped traffic. Adaptive Cruise Control will not respond and braking guard will have limited function.
The Adaptive Cruise Control system and braking guard
do
not react to people, animals, and objects crossing the road or oncoming
objects.
The function of the radar sensors can
be
affected
by
reflective
objects
such
as
guardrails, the entrance
to a
tunnel, heavy rain or ice.
Never follow
a
vehicle
so
closely that
you
cannot stop your vehicle safely. The Adaptive Cruise Control cannot slow or brake the vehicle safely when
you
follow another vehicle
too
closely. Always remember that the automatic braking function cannot bring the vehicle
to a
sudden or emergency stop under
these conditions.
To prevent unintended operation, always switch Adaptive Cruise Control off when it is not being
used.
