Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an enhancement to
traditional cruise control and is not a safety system.
ACC allows you to keep cruise control engaged
in moderate traffic conditions without having to
constantly reset your cruise control. ACC uses radar to
detect a vehicle directly ahead in your path, within a
distance of 328 ft (100 m), and operates at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h). When it is engaged by the
driver, ACC can apply limited braking or acceleration of
the vehicle automatically to maintain a selected
follow distance to the vehicle ahead. ACC braking is
limited to 0.3 g’s (2.95 m/sec2) of deceleration, which is
comparable to moderate application of the vehicle’s
brakes. To disengage ACC, apply the brake. If there is
no vehicle in your path, your vehicle will react like
traditional cruise control.
{ CAUTION:
ACC will not apply hard braking or bring the
vehicle to a complete stop. ACC will not
respond to stopped vehicles, pedestrians or
animals. When you are approaching a vehicle
or object, ACC 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 4-2.
