Black plate (16,1) Cadillac STS Owner Manual - 2011
The vehicle's braking during Adaptive Cruise Control is
comparable to a person applying moderate pressure to
the vehicle's brake pedal. To disengage Adaptive Cruise
Control, apply the brake. If no vehicle is in your path,
your vehicle will react like traditional cruise control.
{ WARNING:
Adaptive Cruise Control will not apply hard
braking or bring the vehicle to a complete
stop. It will not respond to stopped vehicles,
pedestrians or animals. When you are
approaching a vehicle or object, Adaptive
Cruise Control may not have time to slow your
vehicle enough to avoid a collision. Your complete
attention is always required while driving and
you should be ready to take action and apply the
brakes. For more information, see Defensive
Driving on page 5‑2.
{ WARNING:
. On winding roads, Adaptive Cruise Control
may not detect a vehicle ahead. You could
crash into a vehicle ahead of you. Do not use
Adaptive Cruise Control on winding roads.
. Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time to
slow your vehicle enough to avoid a crash
when you are driving in conditions where
vehicles may suddenly slow or stop ahead of
you, enter your lane, or cross your vehicle's
path. If you are driving in these conditions, do
not use Adaptive Cruise Control. The warning
beep and alert symbol may indicate that you
are driving in conditions where Adaptive
Cruise Control should not be used. See
“Alerting the Driver” in this section.
