Cadillac 2007 XLR - Manual (Page 160)

Passing a Vehicle
If you need to increase speed to pass a vehicle,
use the accelerator pedal. While your foot is on the
accelerator pedal, the system will not automatically
apply the brakes. Once you pass the vehicle
and remove your foot from the accelerator pedal,
Adaptive Cruise Control will return to normal
operation and be able to apply the brakes,
if needed.
{ CAUTION:
If you rest your foot on the accelerator
pedal, the system will not automatically
apply the brakes. You could crash into a
vehicle ahead of you. Do not rest your
foot on the accelerator pedal when using
Adaptive Cruise Control.
Curves in the Road
{ CAUTION:
Due to Adaptive Cruise Control limitations
in curves, it 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.
Adaptive Cruise Control may operate differently in
a sharp curve.
The system may reduce your speed in a curve if
the curve is too sharp. The TIGHT CURVE
message will also display on the HUD. See
Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 171 for more
information.
