WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for activedriving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, andweather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most importantly, brakeoperation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your completeattention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure tofollow these warnings can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury.The ACC system:•Doesnotreacttopedestrians,oncomingvehicles,andstationaryobjects(e.g.,astopped
vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited upon
adverse sight distance conditions.
•Doesnotalwaysfullyrecognizecomplexdrivingconditions,whichcanresultinwrongor
missing distance warnings.
•Willbringthevehicletoacompletestopwhilefollowingatargetvehicleandholdthevehicle for 2 seconds in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not start moving withintwo seconds the ACC system will display a message that the system will release the brakesand that the brakes must be applied manually. An audible chime will sound when thebrakes are released.
Yo u s h o u l d s w i t c h o f f t h e A C C s y s t e m :
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving
situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
The Cruise Control system has two control modes:
•AdaptiveCruiseControlmodeformaintaininganappropriatedistancebetweenvehicles.• Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control mode for cruising at a constant presetspeed. For additional information, refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode”in this section.
Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control will not react to preceding vehicles. Always be
aware of the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise Control buttons. The two control modes
function differently. Always confirm which mode is selected.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible warnings and
visual warnings within the Driver Information Display (DID), to warn the driver when it detects a
potential frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with enough time to
react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake
Controller (EBC ), to calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the system determines
that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be provided with audible and visual warnings.
