When Not to Use Cruise Control

The active cruise control and braking feature in Wingman ACB is
automatically ready when normal cruise control is set.

This vehicle’s cruise control must only be used in the same
conditions that are normally recommended for ordinary cruise
control. There are certain situations when cruise control should
not be used:

Inclement Weather – Do not use cruise control in rain, snow,
fog, ice or other severe weather conditions that may affect
the performance of the Wingman ACB system.

Dense Traffic – Do not use cruise control in heavy traffic.

Sharp Curves and Winding Roads – Do not use cruise
control when traveling sharply curved or winding roadways.
CAUTION: Road curvature may impact the radar’s ability
to track vehicles ahead in the same lane.

Entrance or Exit Ramps – Do not use cruise control when
entering or exiting roadways.

Downhill Grades – Do not use cruise control on downhill
grades.

Construction Zones – Do not use cruise control in
construction zones.

Off-Road – Do not use cruise control in off-road conditions.

Smaller Forward Vehicles – Smaller forward vehicles — such
as motorcycles — may be difficult for the radar to identify.
It is the driver’s responsibility to be aware of these types of
vehicles and to slow down if necessary.
