Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011
Changes or modifications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) 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. ACC
uses radar to detect a vehicle directly ahead in your
path, within a distance of 100 m (330 ft), and operates
at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). 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 2.45 m/sec2(0.25 g's) of deceleration, which is
comparable to moderate application of the vehicle's
brakes. To disengage ACC, apply the brake. If no
vehicle is in your path, the vehicle will react like
traditional cruise control.

WARNING:
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 5‑2.
