HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO WORK
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go uses radar and camera sensors to maintain a set gap between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you while following it to a complete stop. Stop and go can also be set to follow a vehicle directly in front of you and adjust the set speed, while you are at a complete stop.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PRECAUTIONS
 WARNING: You are responsible for controlling your vehicle at all times. The system is designed to be an aid and does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING: Pay close attention to changing road conditions such as entering or leaving a highway, on roads with intersections or roundabouts, roads without visible lanes of travel, roads that are winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep slopes. WARNING: The system is not a crash warning or avoidance system. WARNING: Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended because this can affect the normal operation of the system. Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control, which could result in serious injury. WARNING: Do not use the system in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy rain, spray or snow. |
When Following a Vehicle
| WARNING: When following a vehicle that is braking, your vehicle does not always decelerate quickly enough to avoid a crash without driver intervention. Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death. |
Hilly Condition Usage
You should select a lower gear when the system is active in situations such as prolonged downhill driving on steep slopes, for example in mountainous areas.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL LIMITATIONS
Sensor Limitations
| WARNING: On rare occasions, detection issues can occur due to the road infrastructures, for example bridges, tunnels and safety barriers. In these cases, the system may brake late or unexpectedly. At all times, you are responsible for controlling your vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required. WARNING: If the system malfunctions, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. WARNING: Large contrasts in outside lighting can limit sensor performance. WARNING: The system only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. In some cases there may be no warning or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death. WARNING: The system may not detect stationary or slow moving vehicles below 10 km/h. WARNING: The system does not detect pedestrians or objects in the road. WARNING: The system does not detect oncoming vehicles in the same lane. WARNING: The system may not operate properly if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield free from obstruction. WARNING: The sensor may incorrectly track lane markings as other structures or objects. This can result in a false or missed warning. |
Camera.2
Radar sensorThe camera is mounted on the windshield behind the interior mirror. The radar sensor is in the lower grille.
Note: You cannot see the sensor. It is behind a fascia panel.
Note: Keep the front of your vehicle free of dirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle front protectors, aftermarket lights, additional paint or plastic coatings could also degrade sensor performance.
A message displays if something obstructs the camera or the sensor. When something blocks the sensor, the system cannot detect a vehicle ahead and does not function. See Adaptive Cruise Control – Information Messages – Vehicles With: Lane Centering.
The radar sensor has a limited field of view. It may not detect vehicles at all or detect a vehicle later than expected in some situations. The lead vehicle image does not illuminate if the system does not detect a vehicle in front of you.
Detection Issues Can Occur:
When driving on a different line than the vehicle in front.B
With vehicles that edge into your lane. The system can only detect these vehicles once they move fully into your lane.C
There may be issues with the detection of vehicles in front when driving into and coming out of a bend or curve in the road.In these cases, the system may brake late or unexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of your vehicle or damage occurs, the radar-sensing zone could change. This could cause missed or false vehicle detection.
Optimal system performance requires a clear view of the road by the windshield-mounted camera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
- The camera is blocked.
- There is poor visibility or lighting conditions.
- There are bad weather conditions.
SWITCHING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF
The cruise controls are on the steering wheel.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control On
The indicator, current gap setting and set speed appear in the instrument cluster display.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control Off
Note: When you switch the system off, the set speed clears.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION
The system may cancel if:
- The tires lose traction.
- You apply the parking brake.
The system may cancel and set the parking brake if:
- You unbuckle the seatbelt and open the driver door after adaptive cruise control stops your vehicle.
- Adaptive cruise control holds your vehicle at a stop continuously for more than three minutes.
The system may deactivate or prevent activating when requested if:
- The vehicle has a blocked sensor.
- The brake temperature is too high.
- There is a failure in the system or a related system.
SETTING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED
Drive to the speed you prefer.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
The indicator, current gap setting and set speed appear in the instrument cluster display when you initially activate adaptive cruise control.
After a few seconds, the graphic in the instrument cluster display changes to show that adaptive cruise control is active.
A vehicle image illuminates if there is a vehicle detected in front of you.
Note: When adaptive cruise control is active, the speedometer may vary slightly from the set speed displayed in the instrument cluster display.
Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speed from a Complete Stop
The set speed adjusts to 15 mph when in imperial units or 20 km/h when in metric units.
The indicator, current gap setting and set speed appear in the instrument cluster display.
Note: The system activates from a complete stop only when it detects a lead vehicle in close proximity.
Manually Changing the Set Speed
| Press and release the toggle button upward to increase the set speed in small increments. Press and hold the toggle button upward to increase the set speed in large increments. Release the button when the set speed is equal to the preferred speed. | Press and release the toggle button downward to decrease the set speed in small increments. Press and hold the toggle button downward to decrease the set speed in large increments. Release the button when the set speed is equal to the preferred speed. |
You can also press the accelerator or brake pedal until you reach the speed you prefer. Press the toggle button upward or downward to select the current speed as the set speed.
The system may apply the brakes to slow the vehicle to the new set speed.The set speed continuously displays in the instrument cluster display when the system is active.
SETTING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL GAP
The selected gap appears in the instrument cluster display as shown by the bars in the image.
Note: The gap setting is time dependent and therefore, the distance adjusts with your vehicle speed.
Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap appropriate to the driving conditions.
Adaptive Cruise Control Gap Settings
| Graphic Display, Bars Indicated Between Vehicles | Gap Distance | Dynamic Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Closest. | Sport. |
| 2 | Close. | Normal. |
| 3 | Medium. | Normal. |
| 4 | Far. | Comfort. |
Each time you switch the system on, it selects the last chosen gap setting.
Following a Vehicle
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to maintain the gap setting.
Note: When you are following a vehicle and you switch on a turn signal lamp, adaptive cruise control may provide a small, temporary acceleration to help you pass.Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap from the vehicle ahead until:
- The vehicle in front of you accelerates to a speed above the set speed.
- The vehicle in front of you moves out of the lane you are in.
- You set a new gap distance.
The system applies the brakes to slow down your vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance from the vehicle in front of you. The system only applies limited braking. You can override the system by applying the brakes.
Note: The brakes may emit noise when applied by the system.
If the system determines that its maximum braking level is not sufficient, an audible warning sounds, a message appears in the instrument cluster display and an indicator flashes when the system continues to brake. Take immediate action.
CANCELING THE SET SPEED
The set speed does not erase.
RESUMING THE SET SPEED
Your vehicle speed returns to the previously set speed and gap setting.The set speed displays continuously in the instrument cluster display when the system is active.
Note: Only use resume if you are aware of the set speed and intend to return to it.
Resuming the Set Speed from a Complete Stop
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a complete stop and remains stationary for less than a few seconds, your vehicle accelerates from a stationary position to follow the vehicle ahead.
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a complete stop and remains stationary for more than a few seconds, an indicator and message displays.
| Message | Action |
|---|---|
| Stopped | Cruise control does not resume automatically when this display is active. |
| Press Resume Button | If the lead vehicle begins to move, you are prompted to press the resume button. Press and release the button or use the accelerator pedal to resume following the lead vehicle. |
| Auto-Resume | Displays when on a limited access highway after following a vehicle to a complete stop. In this situation, the vehicle resumes following the lead vehicle without a button press or pressing the accelerator pedal. The system can remain in auto-resume state for approximately 30 seconds, after which it no longer automatically resumes. |
OVERRIDING THE SET SPEED
| WARNING: If you override the system by pressing the accelerator pedal, it does not automatically apply the brakes to maintain a gap from any vehicle ahead. |
When you press the accelerator pedal, you override the set speed and gap distance.
Use the accelerator pedal to intentionally exceed the set speed limit.
When you override the system, the green indicator illuminates and the vehicle icon does not appear in the instrument cluster display.
The system resumes operation when you release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle speed decreases to the set speed, or a lower speed if following a slower vehicle.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL INDICATORS
White indicates the system is on but inactive.
Green indicates that you set the speed and the system is active.
SWITCHING FROM ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TO CRUISE CONTROL
