Cadillac 2007 DTS Automobile User Manual


 
Approaching and Following a Vehicle
The Vehicle Ahead
symbol is located on
the top of the instrument
panel to the right of
the driver.
The Vehicle Ahead symbol will only appear when
a vehicle is detected in your path.
If this symbol does not appear, or disappears
briefly, Adaptive Cruise Control will not respond to
vehicles you may see ahead.
{CAUTION:
When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is
blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not
detect a vehicle ahead. Adaptive Cruise
Control may not have time to slow your
vehicle enough to avoid a collision. Do
not use Adaptive Cruise Control when the
radar is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt.
Keep your radar clean. See “Cleaning the
System” later in this section.
Adaptive Cruise Control will automatically slow
your vehicle down when approaching a slower
moving vehicle. It will then adjust your speed to
follow the vehicle in front at the selected follow
distance. Your speed will increase or decrease to
follow the vehicle in front of you but will not
exceed the set speed. It may apply limited braking,
if necessary. When braking is active, your brake
lights will come on. Braking may feel or sound
different than if you were applying the brakes
yourself. This is normal.
