weather conditions when selecting the
following gap. The range of selectable
gaps may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.
Changing the gap setting
automatically changes the alert timing
sensitivity (Far, Medium, or Near) for
the Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
feature. SeeForward Collision Alert
(FCA) System 0287.
Alerting the Driver
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display If ACC is engaged, driver action may
be required when ACC cannot apply
sufficient braking because of
approaching a vehicle too rapidly.
When this condition occurs, the
collision alert symbol will flash on the
windshield. Either eight beeps will
sound from the front, or both sides of
the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five
times. See
“Collision/Detection
Systems” underVehicle Personalization
0 130.
See Defensive Driving 0217.
Approaching and Following a
Vehicle
The vehicle ahead indicator is in the
instrument cluster and HUD display
(if equipped). It only displays when a
vehicle is detected in your vehicle’s
path moving in the same direction. If this symbol is not displaying, ACC
will not respond to or brake for
vehicles ahead.
ACC automatically slows the vehicle
down and adjusts vehicle speed to
follow a detected vehicle ahead at the
selected follow gap. The vehicle speed
increases or decreases to follow a
detected vehicle in front of your
vehicle when that vehicle is traveling
slower than your vehicle set speed.
It may apply limited braking,
if necessary. When braking is active,
the brake lamps will come on. The
automatic braking may feel or sound
different than if the brakes were
applied manually. This is normal.
Passing a Vehicle While Using ACC
If the set speed is high enough, and
the left turn signal is used to pass a
vehicle ahead in the selected following
gap, ACC may assist by gradually
accelerating the vehicle prior to the
lane change.

258 DRIVING AND OPERATING
{Warning
When using ACC to pass a vehicle
or perform a lane change, the
following distance to the vehicle
being passed may be reduced. ACC
may not apply sufficient
acceleration or braking when
passing a vehicle or performing a
lane change. Always be ready to
manually accelerate or brake to
complete the pass or lane change.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving
Objects
{Warning
ACC may not detect and react to
stopped or slow-moving vehicles
ahead of you. For example, the
system may not brake for a vehicle
it has never detected moving. This
can occur in stop-and-go traffic or
when a vehicle suddenly appears
due to a vehicle ahead changing
lanes. Your vehicle may not stop
and could cause a crash. Use (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
caution when using ACC. Your
complete attention is always
required while driving and you
should be ready to take action and
apply the brakes.
Irregular Objects Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty detecting the
following objects:
.Vehicles with cargo extending from
the back end.
.Non-standard shaped vehicles, such
as vehicle transport, vehicles with a
side car fitted, or horse carriages.
.Objects that are close to the front of
your vehicle.
ACC Automatically Disengages
ACC may automatically disengage and
the driver will need to manually apply
the brakes to slow the vehicle when:
.The sensors are blocked.
.The Traction Control System (TCS)
or StabiliTrak/ESC has activated or
been disabled.
.There is a fault in the system.
.The radar falsely reports blockage
when driving in a desert or remote
area with no other vehicles or
roadside objects. A DIC message
may display to indicate that ACC is
temporarily unavailable.
.A DIC message may display to
indicate that ACC is temporarily
unavailable.
The ACC active symbol will turn white
when ACC is no longer active.
In some cases, when ACC will not
activate, regular cruise control may be
used. See “Switching Between ACC and
Regular Cruise Control ”previously in
this section. Always consider driving
conditions before using either cruise
control system.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a following gap
behind a detected vehicle and slow
your vehicle to a stop behind that
vehicle.
If the stopped vehicle ahead has
driven away and ACC has not
resumed, the vehicle ahead indicator
will flash as a reminder to check
traffic ahead before proceeding. In

addition, the left and right sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse three
times, or three beeps will sound. See
“Alert Type”and “Adaptive Cruise Go
Notifier” in“Collision/Detection
Systems” underVehicle Personalization
0 130.
When the vehicle ahead drives away,
press RES+ or the accelerator pedal to
resume ACC. If stopped for more than
two minutes or if the driver door is
opened and the driver seat belt is
unbuckled, ACC automatically applies
the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) to
hold the vehicle. The Electric Parking
Brake light will turn on. See Electric
Parking Brake 0245.
A DIC warning message may display
indicating to shift to P (Park) before
exiting the vehicle. See Vehicle
Messages 0130.
{Warning
If ACC has stopped the vehicle, and
if ACC is disengaged, turned off,
or canceled, the vehicle will no
longer be held at a stop. The vehicle
can move. When ACC is holding the
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
vehicle at a stop, always be
prepared to manually apply the
brakes.
{Warning
Leaving the vehicle without placing
it in P (Park) can be dangerous. Do
not leave the vehicle while it is
being held at a stop by ACC. Always
place the vehicle in P (Park) and
turn off the ignition before leaving
the vehicle.
ACC Override
If using the accelerator pedal while
ACC is active, the ACC indicator turns
blue on the instrument cluster and in
the HUD (if equipped) indicating ACC
braking will not occur. ACC will
resume operation when the
accelerator pedal is not being pressed.
{Warning
The ACC will not automatically
apply the brakes if your foot is
resting on the accelerator pedal.
You could crash into a vehicle
ahead of you.
Curves in the Road
{Warning
On curves, ACC may not detect a
vehicle ahead in your lane. You
could be startled if the vehicle
accelerates up to the set speed,
especially when following a vehicle
exiting or entering exit ramps. You
could lose control of the vehicle or
crash. Do not use ACC while driving
on an entrance or exit ramp. Always
be ready to use the brakes if
necessary.

display green.
When Super Cruise is engaged, when
traffic and other conditions and laws
permit, and when it is safe to do so,
your hands can be taken off the
steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the road and
the operation of the vehicle. Always
monitor and be attentive of
surrounding traffic.
Super Cruise steering can be
overridden with manual steering at
any time. When Super Cruise is
engaged, always be prepared to take
immediate action —including
steering, accelerating, and braking
quickly, if necessary. Steering Manually and Changing
Lanes
The vehicle can always be manually
steered, even with Super Cruise
engaged; for example, when changing
lanes.
When the steering wheel is moved
manually, the steering wheel light bar
pulses blue and
^on the instrument
cluster turns blue to indicate Super
Cruise is not steering the vehicle.
When ready to allow Super Cruise to
resume steering again, position the
vehicle in the center of the lane, hold
the steering wheel until the steering
wheel light bar turns green, and then
release the steering wheel when it is
safe to do so.
Super Cruise does not respond to
vehicles in other lanes near your
vehicle.
{Warning

Take Over Alert
{Warning
Super Cruise will not maintain the
vehicle’s speed while the steering
wheel light bar is flashing red.
If the steering wheel light bar
flashes red, immediately resume
manual steering to prevent serious
injury or death. If you do not
resume manual steering, the vehicle
will begin to slow in the same lane
and eventually come to a complete
stop on the road. To begin steering manually, hold the
steering wheel firmly (with both
hands) using the highlighted regions
as shown in the picture below.
Any time the steering wheel light bar
flashes red, resume manual steering
immediately. The instrument cluster
light
^, will also turn red and a
message will display in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). In addition,
beeps will sound, or the Safety Alert
Seat will vibrate. See “Collision/
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0130. After you begin
steering manually, then Super Cruise
will disengage. The red flashing steering wheel light
bar could occur under any of the
following conditions:
.Lane markings are poor or visibility
is limited.
.The Driver Attention System (DAS)
does not detect that the driver's
head and eyes are directed toward
the road.
.ACC is canceled.
.The vehicle is on a tight curve,
or the lanes are too wide, or the
vehicle goes into a curve too fast.
.The compatible road ends.
.The vehicle is approaching an
intersection controlled by a traffic
light, stop sign, or other traffic
control device.
.A Super Cruise system fault occurs.
