Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011
There are six follow distances to choose from. The
follow distance selection ranges from near to far
(one second to two seconds follow time). The distance
maintained for a selected follow distance will vary
based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed
the further back your vehicle will follow. Consider traffic
and weather conditions when selecting the follow
distance. The range of selectable distances may not be
appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions. If you
prefer to travel at a follow distance farther than ACC
allows, disengage the system and drive manually.
Alerting the Driver
The ACC alert symbol is
located on the display at
the top of the instrument
panel to the right of the
driver.
The alert symbol flashes and a warning beep sounds
when driver action may be required. If ACC is engaged,
the alert symbol will flash when:
.
ACC cannot apply sufficient braking because you
are approaching a vehicle too rapidly.
.
The vehicle speed drops below about 32 km/h
(20 mph).
.
A temporary condition prohibits ACC from
operating. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on
page 4‑65
for more information.
.
A malfunction is detected in the system. See DIC
Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑65
for more
information.

WARNING:
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.
