Distance Setting (ACC Only)
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short).
Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance
to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the DID.
•Toincreasethedistancesetting,pushtheDistanceSetting—Increasebuttonand
release. Each time the button is pushed, the distance setting increases by one bar
(longer).
•Todecreasethedistancesetting,pushtheDistanceSetting—Decreasebuttonand
release. Each time the button is pushed, the distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter).
Changing Modes (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be
operated as a normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode. When in the normal (Fixed
Speed) Speed Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the system
will maintain the speed you set.

WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active
driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road,
traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most
importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe
control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
•Doesnotreacttopedestrians,oncomingvehicles,andstationaryobjects(e.g.,
astoppedvehicleinatrafficjamoradisabledvehicle).
•Cannottakestreet,traffic,andweatherconditionsintoaccount,andmaybelimited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
•Doesnotalwaysfullyrecognizecomplexdrivingconditions,whichcanresultin
wrong or missing distance warnings.
•Willbringthevehicletoacompletestopwhilefollowingatargetvehicleandhold
the vehicle for 2 seconds in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not start
moving within two seconds the ACC system will display a message that the system
will release the brakes and that the brakes must be applied manually. An audible
chime will sound when the brakes are released.

once again indicated in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick
mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.
SPORT MODE — WITHOUT PERFORMANCE CONTROL
Yo u r v e h i c l e i s e q u i p p e d w i t h a S p o r t M o d e f e a t u r e . T h i s m o d e i s a c o n f i g u r a t i o n s e t u p
for typical enthusiast driving. The engine, transmission (when equipped with automatic
transmission), and steering systems are all set to their SPORT settings. Sport Mode will
provide improved throttle response and modified shifting for an enhanced driving
experience, as well the greatest amount of steering feel. This mode may be activated and
deactivated by pressing the Sport button on the instrument panel switch bank.
For vehicles equipped with Drive Modes, refer to “Performance Control — If Equipped”
within “Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” chapter on your
