Alerting the Driver
This symbol flashes on the
HUD and a warning beep
sounds 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 3-60 for more information.
A malfunction is detected in the system. See DIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-60 for more
information.
See Defensive Driving on page 5-2.
{ 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 5-2.
Approaching and Following a Vehicle
This symbol only appears
on the HUD when a
vehicle ahead 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.
