Adaptive Cruise Control is an enhancement to
traditional cruise control. It allows you to keep
cruise control engaged in moderate traffic conditions
without having to constantly reset your cruise control.
Adaptive Cruise Control uses radar to detect a
vehicle directly ahead in your path, within a distance
of 330 ft (100 m), and operates at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h). When it is engaged by the driver,
the system can apply limited braking or acceleration
of the vehicle automatically to maintain a selected
follow distance to the vehicle ahead. Braking is limited
to 0.25 g’s (2.45 m/sec2) of deceleration, which is
comparable to moderate application of the vehicle’s
brakes. To disengage Adaptive Cruise Control, apply
the brake. If no vehicle is in your path, the vehicle
will react like traditional cruise control.
{CAUTION:
Adaptive Cruise Control will not apply hard
braking or bring the vehicle to a complete
stop. It will not respond to stopped vehicles,
pedestrians or animals. When you are
approaching a vehicle or object, Adaptive
Cruise Control 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.
{CAUTION:
• On winding roads, Adaptive Cruise
Control may not detect a vehicle ahead.
You could crash into a vehicle ahead
of you. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control
on winding roads.
