WARNING: Do not use ACC when towing a trailer with brake
controls. Aftermarket trailer brakes will not function properly

when ACC is activated because the brakes are electronically controlled.
Failing to do so may result in loss of vehicle control, which could result
in serious injury.

WARNING: Do not use tires sizes other than those
recommended because this can affect the normal operation of

ACC. Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control, which
could result in serious injury.

Switching to normal cruise control

You can manually change from adaptive cruise control (ACC) to normal
cruise control through the message center. Refer to Message center in
the Instrument Cluster chapter. If normal cruise control is selected, the
ACC indicator light will be replaced with a

cruise control indicator

light. The gap setting will not be displayed, the system will not
automatically respond to lead vehicles and automatic braking will not be
activated. The system will default to ACC when the engine is started.

WARNING: Normal cruise control will not brake due to slower
vehicles. Always be aware of which mode is selected and apply

the brakes when necessary.
