206 Driving and Operating
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise control:
.
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
.
Press *.
.
Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
.
Press J.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if
J is pressed or if the ignition is
turned off.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set speed and
following gap to be selected. Read this
entire section before using this system. The
following gap is the following time between
your vehicle and a vehicle detected directly
ahead in your path, moving in the same
direction. If no vehicle is detected in your
path, ACC works like regular cruise control.
ACC uses camera and radar sensors.
If a vehicle is detected in your path, ACC can
speed up the vehicle or apply limited,
moderate braking to maintain the selected
following gap. To disengage ACC, apply the
brake. If ACC is controlling your vehicle
speed when the traction control system
(TCS) or StabiliTrak electronic stability
control system activates, ACC may
automatically disengage. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability Control 0 201.
When road conditions allow ACC to be
safely used, ACC can be turned back on. ACC
will not engage if the TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC
is disabled.
ACC can reduce the need for you to
frequently brake and accelerate, especially
when used on expressways, freeways, and
interstate highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take over the
control of braking or acceleration more
often.
{
Warning
ACC has limited braking ability and may
not have time to slow the vehicle down
enough to avoid a collision with another
vehicle you are following. This can occur
when vehicles suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane. Also see
“Alerting the Driver” in this section.
Complete attention is always required

Warning (Continued)
while driving and you should be ready to
take action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving 0 176.
{
Warning
ACC will not detect or brake for children,
pedestrians, animals, or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
.
On winding and hilly roads or when
the sensors are blocked by snow, ice,
or dirt. The system may not detect a
vehicle ahead. Keep the entire front of
the vehicle clean.
.
Visibility is poor due to rain, snow,
fog, dirt, insect residue, or dust; when
other foreign objects obscure the
camera and/or radar; or when the
vehicle in front or oncoming traffic
causes additional environmental
obstructions, such as road spray. ACC
performance is limited under these
conditions.
