“Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Off.”
To Set A Desired Speed
When the vehicle reaches the speed desired, push the
SET (+) button or the SET (-) button and release. The
instrument cluster display will show the set speed.
NOTE:Fixed Speed Cruise Control (if equipped) can be used
without ACC enabled. To change between the different
modes, push the ACC on/off button which turns the ACC
and the Fixed Speed Cruise Control off. Pushing the Fixed
Speed Cruise Control on/off button will result in turning on
(changing to) Fixed Speed Cruise Control mode. If ACC is set when the vehicle speed is
below 20 mph
(32 km/h), the set speed will default to 20 mph
(32 km/h).
NOTE:Fixed Speed Cruise Control cannot be set below 20 mph
(32 km/h).
If either system is set when the vehicle speed is above
20 mph (32 km/h), the set speed shall be the current speed of the vehicle.
NOTE:
 Keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal can cause
the vehicle to continue to accelerate beyond the set
speed. If this occurs, the message “DRIVER OVERRIDE”
will display in the instrument cluster display.
 If you continue to accelerate beyond the set speed
while ACC is enabled, the system will not be controlling
the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead. The vehicle speed will only be determined by
the position of the accelerator pedal.
To Cancel
The following conditions cancel the ACC or Fixed Speed
Cruise Control systems:
The brake pedal is applied
 The CANC (cancel) button is pushed
 The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) activates
 The gear selector is removed from the DRIVE position
WARNING!
Leaving the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system on
when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally
set the system or cause it to go faster than you want.
You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave
the system off when you are not using it.
WARNING!
In Fixed Speed Cruise Control mode, the system will not
react to vehicles ahead. In addition, the proximity
warning does not activate and no alarm will sound even
if you are too close to the vehicle ahead since neither
the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is detected. Be sure to
maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. Always be aware which mode is
selected.

142STARTING AND OPERATING
The Electronic Stability Control/Traction Control
System (ESC/TCS) activates
 The vehicle parking brake is applied
 The Trailer Sway Control (TSC) activates
 The driver switches ESC to Full Off mode
 The braking temperature exceeds normal range (over -
heated)
The following conditions will only cancel the ACC system:
 Driver seat belt is unbuckled at low speeds
 Driver door is opened at low speeds
To Turn Off
The system will turn off and erase the set speed in
memory if:
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) on/off button is
pushed
 The Fixed Speed Cruise Control (if equipped) on/off
button is pushed
 The ignition is placed in the OFF position
 4WD Low is engaged
To Resume
If there is a set speed in memory, push the RES (resume)
button and remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
The instrument cluster display will show the last set
speed.
Resume can be used at any speed above 20 mph
(32 km/h) when only Fixed Speed Cruise Control is
being used.
Resume can be used at any speed above 0 mph (0 km/h)
when ACC is active.
NOTE:
While in ACC mode, when the vehicle comes to a
complete stop longer than two seconds, the driver will
either have to push the RES (resume) button or press
the accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC system.
 ACC cannot be resumed if there is a stationary vehicle
in front of your vehicle in close proximity.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
After setting a speed, you can increase the set speed by
pushing the SET (+) button, or decrease speed by pushing
the SET (-) button.
U.S. Speed (mph)
 Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will result in
a 1 mph speed adjustment. Each subsequent tap of
the button results in an adjustment of 1 mph.
 If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will
continue to adjust in 5 mph increments until the button
is released. The new set speed is reflected in the instru -
ment cluster display. Metric Speed (km/h)

Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will result in
a 1 km/h speed adjustment. Each subsequent tap of
the button results in an adjustment of 1 km/h.
 If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will
continue to adjust in 10 km/h increments until the
button is released. The new set speed is reflected in
the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:When you override and push the SET (+) button or SET (-)
button, the new set speed will be the current speed of the
vehicle.
When ACC Is Active
 When you use the SET (-) button to decelerate, if the
engine’s braking power does not slow the vehicle suffi -
ciently to reach the set speed, the brake system will
automatically slow the vehicle.
 The ACC system decelerates the vehicle to a full stop
when following the vehicle in front. If your vehicle
follows the vehicle in front to a standstill, after two
seconds the driver will either have to push the RES
(resume) button, or apply the accelerator pedal to reen -
gage the ACC to the existing set speed.
 The ACC system maintains set speed when driving
uphill and downhill. However, a slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting may
occur while climbing uphill or descending downhill. This
is normal operation and necessary to maintain set
speed. When driving uphill and downhill, the ACC
system will cancel if the braking temperature exceeds
normal range (overheated).
WARNING!
The Resume function should only be used if traffic and
road conditions permit. Resuming a set speed that is
too high or too low for prevailing traffic and road
conditions could cause the vehicle to accelerate or
decelerate too sharply for safe operation. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in a collision and death
or serious personal injury.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 142

STARTING AND OPERATING143
Setting The Following Distance In ACC
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 appears in the instrument cluster display.

Distance Settings

To increase the distance setting, push the Distance
Increase button and release. Each time the button is
pushed, the distance setting increases by one bar (longer). To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance
Decrease button and release. Each time the button is
pushed, the distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter).
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will maintain the
set speed. If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the
same lane, the instrument cluster display will show the
ACC Set With Target Detected Indicator Light, and the
system will adjust the vehicle speed automatically to
maintain the distance setting, regardless of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance until:

The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the
set speed.
 The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or view of the
sensor.
 The distance setting is changed.
 The system disengages
Úpage 141.
The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited; however,
the driver can always apply the brakes manually, if
necessary.
NOTE:The brake lights will illuminate whenever the ACC system
applies the brakes. A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC predicts that
its maximum braking level is not sufficient to maintain the
set distance. If this occurs, a visual alert “BRAKE!” will
flash in the instrument cluster display and a chime will
sound while ACC continues to apply its maximum braking
capacity.
NOTE:The “BRAKE!” screen in the instrument cluster display is a
warning for the driver to take action and does not neces
-
sarily mean that the Forward Collision Warning system is
applying the brakes autonomously.
Overtake Aid
When driving with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) engaged
and following a vehicle, the system will provide an
additional acceleration up to the ACC set speed to assist
in passing the vehicle. This additional acceleration is
triggered when the driver utilizes the left turn signal and
will only be active when passing on the left side.
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while
following a vehicle ahead, your vehicle will resume motion,
without any driver interaction, if the vehicle ahead starts
moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving within two
seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, the driver
will either have to push the RES (resume) button, or apply
the accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC to the existing
set speed.

144STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
If your vehicle is at a standstill for longer than two
seconds, the system will hold brake pressure for up to
10 minutes. If no driver action is taken after the
10 minutes, the Electric Park Brake will be applied and
the ACC system will cancel.
 While ACC is holding your vehicle at a standstill (or the
vehicle is traveling below 3 mph (5 km/h), and the
driver seat belt is unbuckled or the driver door is
opened, the Electric Park Brake will be applied and the
ACC system will cancel.
Display Warnings And Maintenance
“WIPE FRONT RADAR SENSOR IN FRONT OF
VEHICLE” WARNING
The “ACC Unavailable Wipe Front Radar Sensor” warning
will display and a chime will sound when conditions
temporarily limit system performance.
This most often occurs at times of poor visibility, such as
in snow or heavy rain. The ACC system may also become
temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such as mud, dirt
or ice. In these cases, the instrument cluster display will
display this message and the system will deactivate. This message can sometimes be displayed while driving in
highly reflective areas (i.e. ice and snow, or tunnels with
reflective tiles). The ACC system will recover after the
vehicle has left these areas. Under rare conditions, when
the radar is not tracking any vehicles or objects in its path
this warning may temporarily occur.
NOTE:If the “ACC Unavailable Wipe Front Radar Sensor” warning
is active, Fixed Speed Cruise Control is still available.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should
examine the sensor. It may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction. The sensor is located in the center of the
vehicle behind the lower grille.
To keep the ACC System operating properly, it is important
to note the following maintenance items:

Always keep the sensor clean. Carefully wipe the
sensor lens with a soft cloth. Be cautious not to
damage the sensor lens.
 Do not remove any screws from the sensor. Doing so
could cause an ACC system malfunction or failure and
require a sensor realignment.
 If the sensor or front end of the vehicle is damaged due
to a collision, see your authorized dealer for service.
 Do not attach or install any accessories near the
sensor, including transparent material or aftermarket
grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC system failure or
malfunction. When the condition that deactivated the system is no
longer present, the system will return to the “Adaptive
Cruise Control Off” state and will resume function by
simply reactivating it.
NOTE:

If the “ACC Unavailable Wipe Front Radar Sensor”
message occurs frequently (e.g. more than once on
every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other
obstruction, have the radar sensor realigned at an
authorized dealer.
 Installing a snowplow, front-end protector, an after -
market grille or modifying the grille is not recom -
mended. Doing so may block the sensor and inhibit
ACC operation.
“CLEAN FRONT WINDSHIELD” WARNING
The “ACC Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
warning will display, and a chime will sound when
conditions temporarily limit system performance. This
most often occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in
snow or heavy rain and fog. The ACC system may also
become temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such as
mud, dirt, or ice on windshield and fog on the inside of
glass. In these cases, the instrument cluster display will
read “ACC Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
and the system will have degraded performance.
This message can sometimes be displayed while driving in
adverse weather conditions. The ACC system will recover
after the vehicle has left these areas. Under rare
conditions, when the camera is not tracking any vehicles
or objects in its path this warning may temporarily occur.
WARNING!
When the ACC system is resumed, the driver must
ensure that there are no pedestrians, vehicles or
objects in the path of the vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision and death or serious
personal injury.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 144

STARTING AND OPERATING145
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should
examine the windshield and the camera located on the
back side of the inside rearview mirror. They may require
cleaning or removal of an obstruction.
When the condition that created limited functionality is no
longer present, the system will return to full functionality.
NOTE:If the “ACC Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
message occurs frequently (e.g. more than once on every
trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction,
have the windshield and forward facing camera inspected
at an authorized dealer.
SERVICE ACC WARNING
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster display
reads “ACC Unavailable Service Required” or “Cruise
Unavailable Service Required”, there may be an internal
system fault or a temporary malfunction that limits ACC
functionality. Although the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, ACC will be temporarily unavailable.
If this occurs, try activating ACC again later, following an
ignition cycle. If the problem persists, see an authorized
dealer.
Precautions While Driving With ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC may have detection
issues. In these cases, ACC may brake late or
unexpectedly. The driver needs to stay alert and may need
to intervene. The following are examples of these types of
situations:
TOWING A TRAILER
ACC while towing a trailer is recommended only with an
Integrated Trailer Brake Controller. Aftermarket trailer
brake controllers will not activate the trailer brakes when
ACC is braking.
OFFSET DRIVING
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that is
offset from your direct line of travel, or a vehicle merging
in from a side lane. There may not be sufficient distance
to the vehicle ahead. The offset vehicle may move in and
out of the line of travel, which can cause your vehicle to
brake or accelerate unexpectedly.

Offset Driving Condition Example

TURNS AND BENDS
When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the system
may increase or decrease the vehicle speed for stability,
with no vehicle ahead detected. Once the vehicle is out of
the curve, the system will resume your original set speed.
This is a part of normal ACC system functionality.
NOTE:On tight turns ACC performance may be limited.
USING ACC ON HILLS
ACC performance may be limited when driving on hills.
ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane depending on
the speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the
steepness of the hill.

STARTING AND OPERATING147
NOTE:
The TSA system will automatically display the
detected road sign using the unit of measurement
(mph or km/h) selected within Uconnect Settings, or
within the instrument cluster display.
 If no speed limit signs are detected, the system will
revert to the speed limit signs that are stored in the
Navigation system.
 The system always checks the traffic signs indicating
the current speed limit. The system is able to recognize
and display up to two different road signs in the instru -
ment cluster display. These road signs can be found on
the Driver Assist page.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The TSA System can be enabled/disabled within the
Uconnect system through the Safety/Driver Assistance
menu. System ON is signaled by road signs shown on the
instrument cluster display.
NOTE:Even if the system is OFF, the speed limit sign will be
displayed when the driver selects it in the HOME screen.
TRAFFIC SIGN ASSIST MODES
TSA has three selectable modes of operation that are
available through the Uconnect system Úpage 197.
Visual
When Visual is selected, the system will alert the driver
when the current speed of the vehicle exceeds the
detected speed limit by showing a graphic in the
instrument cluster display. Visual + Chime
When Visual + Chime is selected, the system will alert the
driver when the current speed of the vehicle exceeds the
detected speed limit by showing a graphic in the
instrument cluster display and by sounding an audible
alert. The audible alert will last for 10 seconds, and the
visual alert will remain on as long as the vehicle is
exceeding the speed limit.
TSA Off
When the TSA system is turned off, the system will not
show any traffic signs (unless selected in the HOME
screen, which will show detected speed limit signs), and
no alerts will be issued to the driver.
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY
Detected traffic signs are shown in the instrument cluster
display, and can display any combination of signs at one
time (e.g. speed limit, speed limit and supplemental info,
and “Do Not Pass” signs) depending on what information
is available.
When a newly detected speed limit is higher than the
current speed limit, the display will update along with an
up arrow.
When a newly detected speed limit is lower than the
current speed limit, the display will update along with a
down arrow.
NOTE:Up or down arrows will be displayed for up to five seconds.

148STARTING AND OPERATING
Speed Limit Exceeded
When the vehicle’s speed exceeds the displayed speed
limit by 3 mph (5 km/h), the speed limit sign on the
instrument cluster display will show a red outline to alert
the driver.ACTIVE DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
OPERATION
The Active Driving Assist (ADA) system is combined with
the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system, and centers the
vehicle in the driving lane while traveling at speeds up to
90 mph (145 km/h).
For ACC system operating instructions and system
limitations, see
Úpage 139.
NOTE:
The driver should always obey traffic laws and speed
limits. Never drive above applicable speed limit restric -
tions.
 The driver can override ADA at any time by braking,
accelerating, or steering the vehicle.
Just like ACC, ADA will maintain a set speed as long as the
set distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
is maintained. ADA will also keep your vehicle centered
between the lane lines, and monitor for other vehicles in
adjacent lanes by utilizing the Blind Spot Monitoring
sensors.
Two types of Active Driving Assist systems are available:
 Base ADA system
 Hands-Free ADA system
Base Active Driving Assist System — If Equipped
The Base ADA system uses sensors within the steering
wheel to measure driver attentiveness, and requires that
the driver have their hands on the steering wheel at all
times. The system will generally aim to keep the vehicle centered
in the lane, but when the driver turns the steering wheel
(e.g. to move farther away from a large vehicle in an
adjacent lane) the system will reduce its control and enter
"co-steering" mode. While in co-steering mode, the system
will provide reduced assistance and allow the driver to
control the path of the vehicle. Once the driver stops
providing input to the steering wheel, the system will
require a few seconds to fully resume lane centering
assistance, especially during curves.
Hands-Free Active Driving Assist System — If Equipped
The Hands-Free ADA system uses sensors within the
steering wheel and a driver monitoring camera located on
top of the steering column to monitor driver attentiveness.
The Hands-Free ADA system allows the driver to remove
their hands from the steering wheel when engaged, but
requires that the driver continue to pay attention to the
road.
The Hands-Free ADA system will also change lanes when
a turn signal is activated if the adjacent lane in the
direction indicated is clear of another vehicle, and lane
markings are detected (noted by a dashed line in the
direction of the available lane change). The system uses
sensors, including Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) sensors,
to determine if a lane change is possible. If the assisted
lane change is in progress, a green arrow will appear. If a
lane change is requested but the direction indicated is not
possible, a yellow arrow will appear. Once conditions are
clear, the arrow will turn green and the assisted lane
change will begin.
CAUTION!

Functionality may be limited or the system may not
work if the sensor is obstructed.
 The system may have limited operation or not work at
all in weather conditions such as heavy rain, hail, and
thick fog. Strong light contrasts can influence the
recognition capability of the sensor.
 The area surrounding the sensor must not be
covered with stickers or any other object.
 Do not tamper or perform any operations in the area
of the windshield glass directly surrounding the
sensor.
 Clean foreign matters such as bird droppings,
insects, snow or ice on the windshield. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid scratching the
windshield.
