Driving and Operating
For other forms of descent control, see Hill

path, ACC works like regular cruise control.
ACC uses a windshield mounted front
camera sensor.
Warning
{
ACC has limited braking ability and may
not have time to slow the vehicle down
enough to avoid a collision with another
vehicle you are following. This can occur
when vehicles suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane. Also see
“Alerting the Driver” later in this section.
Complete attention is always required
while driving and you should be ready to
take action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving 0 195.
If equipped with Super Cruise, ACC uses a
radar sensor(s) as well to detect other
vehicles. See Radio Frequency Statement
0 438.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise control:
If a vehicle is detected in your path, ACC can
apply acceleration or limited, moderate
braking to maintain the selected following
gap. To disengage ACC, apply the brake.
If ACC is controlling the vehicle speed when
the Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system activates, ACC may automatically
disengage. See Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0 237. When road
conditions allow ACC to be safely used, ACC
can be turned back on. Disabling the TCS or
StabiliTrak/ESC system will disengage and
prevent engagement of ACC.

Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
To turn off cruise control, press 5.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if 5 is pressed or the ignition is
turned off.
Warning
{
ACC will not detect or brake for children,
pedestrians, animals, or other objects.
Adaptive Cruise Control (Camera)
Do not use ACC when:
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set speed and
following gap to be selected. Read this
entire section before using this system. The
following gap is the following time between
your vehicle and a vehicle detected directly
ahead in your path, moving in the same
direction. If no vehicle is detected in your

On winding and hilly roads or when
the sensors are blocked by snow, ice,
or dirt. The system may not detect a
vehicle ahead. Keep the entire front of
the vehicle clean.
ACC can reduce the need for you to
frequently brake and accelerate, especially
when used on expressways, freeways, and
interstate highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take over the
control of braking or acceleration more
often.
