Alerting the Driver
The alert symbol will flash
on the HUD and a warning
beep will sound when
driver action is required.
Driver action is required when:
• Adaptive Cruise Control cannot apply sufficient
braking because you are approaching a vehicle
too rapidly.
• The vehicle speed drops below about
20 mph (32 km/h).
• A temporary condition prohibits Adaptive Cruise
Control from operating. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-74 for more information.
• A malfunction is detected in the system. See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-74 for
more information.
See Defensive Driving on page 4-2.
{ CAUTION:
Adaptive Cruise Control has only limited
braking ability to slow your vehicle. In some
cases, Adaptive Cruise Control may not have
time to slow your vehicle enough to avoid a
collision. Be ready to take action and apply the
brakes yourself. See Defensive Driving on
page 4-2.
