The ACC speed setting can only be set when driving.

Press the –/SET switch on the steering wheel switch
pod to set the cruise speed when the vehicle is
traveling at the desired speed.

To decrease the set cruise speed, press or press and
hold –/SET. A press decreases the ACC set speed
by -1 units (mph or km/h). A press and hold
decreases the ACC set speed by -5 units (mph or
km/h).

Setting the Distance to the Vehicle in

If equipped, the following distance can be adjusted
under ’Settings’ > ’Driving Assistance’ > ’Adaptive
Cruise Control.’

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the minimum
distance required by law is maintained.

Overtaking When Using Adaptive Cruise

pressing on the accelerator pedal;

•

the vehicle is moving faster than 20 mph (32
km/h);

•

the driver follows a vehicle for longer than 10
seconds at a distance that will be traversed in
less than 2.6 seconds.

Detroit Assurance Active
Brake Assist 5 (ABA5)

Active Brake Assist 5 Overview

IMPORTANT: The windshield must be clean,
unobstructed, and without damage for proper
operation of the multipurpose camera. No
objects or attachments should be mounted in
front of the forward radar and the radar covering
should be free of paint, stickers, mud, ice, or
snow.

ABA5 is active when the vehicle is on.

ABA5 uses fused camera and radar signals for
improved object recognition, enabling it, in some
cases, to recognize potential hazardous situations
faster than a driver. If the camera cannot positively
identify an object, radar signals alone are used. If the
camera becomes unplugged or otherwise disabled,
ABA5 is disabled.

ABA5 tracks both moving and stationary objects in
the vehicle’s path and, if necessary, engages in a
cascade of defensive actions in reaction to those
objects through:
