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 will it compensate for any driver impairment such as drugs, alcohol, fatigue, distraction or inattention.
Operate a vehicle equipped with Detroit Assurance Collision Mitigation System as if the vehicle were not equipped with a collision mitigation system.
Failure to drive safely and use the system properly could result in personal injury and/or death and severe property damage.
Note: In vehicles equipped with a DT12 transmission, this feature is called Adaptive Cruise Control to 0 mph. In instances where the feature capabilities are different, this will be called out. Otherwise, the feature will be called Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
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 will accelerate to the set speed.
