Low-Speed Deactivation If your speed falls below 20 mph (32 km/h) while following a vehicle ahead, Adaptive Cruise Control will begin to disengage. The Driver Alert symbol will flash and the warning beep will sound. The driver must take action since Adaptive Cruise Control will not slow the vehicle to a stop. Curves in the Road {CAUTION: Due to Adaptive Cruise Control limitations in curves, it may respond to a vehicle in another lane, or may not have time to react to a vehicle in your lane. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you, or lose control of your vehicle. Give extra attention in curves and be ready to use the brakes if necessary. Select an appropriate speed while driving in curves. Adaptive Cruise Control may operate differently in a sharp curve. It may reduce your speed if the curve is too sharp. Passing a Vehicle/Adaptive Cruise Control Override If you need to increase speed to pass a vehicle, use the accelerator pedal. While you are doing this, the system will not automatically apply the brakes. A message will appear on the DIC. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-76. Once you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal, Adaptive Cruise Control will return to normal operation and be able to apply the brakes, if needed. {CAUTION: If you rest your foot on the accelerator pedal, the system will not automatically apply the brakes. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you. Do not rest your foot on the accelerator pedal when using Adaptive Cruise Control. 3-27
