Adaptive Cruise Control Safety Information
Warning: The Detroit Assurance collision mitigation system is intended solely as an aid for an alert and conscientious professional driver. It is not intended to be relied upon to operate a vehicle. Use the system in conjunction with rearview mirrors and other instruments to safely operate the vehicle.
The Detroit Assurance collision mitigation system is not a substitute for safe, normal driving procedures, nor compensates for any driver impairment such as drugs, alcohol, or fatigue.
Failure to drive safely and use the system properly could result in personal injury and/or death and severe property damage.
ACC may not detect vehicles driving in a different lane or narrow vehicles, like motorcycles, driving in front.
In particular, stay aware in the following situations:
-
when cornering, entering, and exiting bends;
-
when driving winding stretches of road;
-
when overtaking;
-
when there are vehicles driving in a different lane;
-
when vehicles are changing lanes;
-
when vehicles are exiting the road;
-
when there are obstacles and stationary vehicles.
ACC does not compensate for inattentive driving, weather, or traffic conditions. ACC is only an aid. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front, maintaining a safe vehicle speed, braking, and remaining in a lane.
If ACC does not detect a vehicle driving in front, the system accelerates to the set speed.
