Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011
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 only appears when a vehicle
is detected in your path.
If this symbol does not appear, or disappears briefly,
ACC will not respond to vehicles you may see ahead.
{
WARNING:
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.
ACC automatically slows your vehicle down when
approaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjusts
your vehicle speed to follow the vehicle in front at the
selected follow distance. Your vehicle speed increases
or decreases 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.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects
{
WARNING:
Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react
to stationary or slow‐moving vehicles or other
objects ahead of you. You could crash into an
object ahead of you. Do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control when approaching stationary or
slow‐moving vehicles or other objects.
