Cadillac 2010 DTS - Manual (Page 187)

Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects
{ WARNING:
Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and
react to stationary or slow‐moving vehicles or
other objects ahead of you. You could crash into
an object ahead of you. Do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control when approaching stationary or
slow‐moving vehicles or other objects.
{ WARNING:
Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react
to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other
objects ahead of you. Your vehicle may accelerate
toward objects, such as a stopped vehicle that
suddenly appears after the lead vehicle changes
lanes. Your complete attention is always required
while driving and you should be ready to take
action and apply the brakes.
Low-Speed Deactivation
If your vehicle speed falls below 32 km/h (20 mph) while
following a vehicle ahead, ACC will begin to disengage.
The Driver Alert symbol will flash and the warning beep
will sound. The driver must take action since ACC will
not slow the vehicle to a stop.
Passing a Vehicle/ACC Override
To increase speed to pass a vehicle, use the
accelerator pedal. While you are doing this, the system
will not automatically apply the brakes. A message will
appear on the DIC. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑66. Once you remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal, ACC will return to normal operation
and be able to apply the brakes, if needed.
{ WARNING:
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.
