2007 Cadillac XLR-V Owner's Manual - Page 156

There are six follow distances to choose from. The follow distance selection ranges from near to far (1 second to 2 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 you 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 choose to travel at a distance farther than Adaptive Cruise Control allows, disengage the system and drive manually. A graphic on the HUD indicates the selected follow distance. This picture shows a maximum follow distance. The vehicles will move closer as you select a smaller follow distance. 156
