Air Suspension Operation with Door(s) or
Hood Open
The air suspension will temporarily suspend
all height changes while the hood or any
door is open.
System Over-Temperature
If the air suspension is under heavy use, the
system may temporarily suspend all height
changes to allow the compressor to cool
down. When this occurs and a heightchange is requested, the message LEVELING
SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE will display in the
instrument cluster.
Air Suspension Service
If a SERVICE LEVELING SYSTEM message
displays in the instrument cluster, see your
authorized dealer immediately.
Cruise Control
If equipped, cruise control allows the vehicle
to maintain a set speed of 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without active
acceleration. Cruise control does not work at
speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph).
{Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady
speed. Do not use cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
Cruise control will disengage if:
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system begins to limit wheel spin.
See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0207.
.TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off.
.A collision alert occurs. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0261.
.The brakes are applied.
When road conditions allow cruise control to
be safely used, cruise control can be turned
back on.

218 Driving and Operating
Disabling the TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC system
will disengage ACC and prevent ACC from
being re-engaged while 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”later in this section.
Complete attention is always required
while driving and you should be ready to
take action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving 0183.
{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.
.On slippery roads where fast changes
in tire traction can cause excessive
wheel slip.

Approaching and Following a Vehicle
The vehicle ahead indicator light is displayed
in the instrument cluster and the HUD,
if equipped. It only displays when a vehicle
is detected in your vehicle’s path and is
moving in the same direction. If the vehicle
ahead indicator light does not appear in the
instrument cluster, then ACC will not
respond to, or brake for, vehicles ahead.
While ACC is active, ACC will automatically
adjust your vehicle’s speed to follow a
detected vehicle ahead according to the
selected following gap setting. ACC may
decrease your vehicle’s cruise speed when
following a detected vehicle ahead that is
traveling slower than your ACC set speed.
ACC may apply limited braking, if necessary.
When ACC automatic braking is active, the
brake lamps will turn 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.

224 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
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 if:
.The sensors are blocked.
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/ESC system has activated or
has been disabled.
.If equipped with Air Suspension, the
vehicle ride height is outside normal
operating range. See Air Suspension0211.
.There is a fault in the system.
.The radar falsely reports a blockage when
driving in a remote area with no other
vehicles or roadside objects.
A DIC message may display to indicate that
ACC is temporarily unavailable. The ACC indicator light will turn white when
ACC is disengaged.
In some cases, when ACC is temporarily
unavailable, 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 mode.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow distance gap
behind a detected vehicle, and will slow
down 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. To view available
settings from the infotainment screen, touch

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.
{Warning
On curves, ACC may respond to a vehicle
in another lane, or may not have time to
react to a vehicle in your lane. You could
crash into a vehicle ahead of you, or lose
control of your vehicle. Give extra
attention in curves and be ready to use
the brakes if necessary. Select an
appropriate speed while driving in curves.
ACC may operate differently when the

curve is too sharp, ACC may temporarily
reduce the vehicle speed while navigating
the curve.
The curve speed control indicator light
b
may illuminate green when ACC is actively
controlling the vehicle speed and detects a
sharp curve in the road ahead.
ACC may automatically increase the vehicle
speed when exiting out of the curve,
however ACC will not exceed the set speed.
When following a vehicle and entering a
curve, ACC may not detect the vehicle ahead
and accelerate to the set speed. When this
happens, the vehicle ahead indicator will not
appear.
ACC may detect a vehicle that is not in your
lane and apply the brakes.
ACC may occasionally provide an alert and/
or braking that is considered unnecessary.
It could respond to vehicles in different
lanes or stationary objects when entering or
exiting a curve. This is normal operation.
The vehicle does not need service.
Other Vehicle Lane Changes
ACC will not detect a vehicle ahead until it
is completely in the lane. You may need to
manually apply the brakes.
Objects Not Directly in Front of Your Vehicle
The ACC system may not be able to detect
all objects in front of the vehicle if:
.The vehicle or object ahead is not within
your lane.
.The vehicle ahead is shifted, not centered,
or is shifted to one side of the lane.
Driving in Narrow Lanes
Vehicles in adjacent traffic lanes or roadside
objects may be incorrectly detected when
located along the roadway.
Do Not Use ACC on Hills
