Jeep Wrangler: CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED / Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) — If Equipped
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the
driving convenience provided by Cruise Control
while traveling on highways and major
roadways. However, it is not a safety system
and not designed to prevent collisions. The
Cruise Control function performs differently if
your vehicle is not equipped with ACC.
NOTE:
- If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accelerate
(not to exceed the original set speed) automatically
to maintain a preset following
distance, while matching the speed of the
vehicle ahead.
- Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifications
to the vehicle will affect the performance
of the Adaptive Cruise Control and
Forward Collision Warning system.
- Fixed Speed Cruise Control alone (an ACC
distance not set) will not detect vehicles
directly ahead of you. Always be aware of the
mode selected.
WARNING!
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience
system. It is not a substitute for
active driver involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead; and, most importantly, brake operation
to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your complete
attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result
in a collision and death or serious personal
injury.
- The ACC system:
- Does not react to pedestrians,
oncoming vehicles, and stationary
objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a
traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
- Cannot take street, traffic, and weather
conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance
conditions.
- Does not always fully recognize complex
driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
- On vehicles with an automatic transmission,
will bring the vehicle to a complete
stop while following a vehicle ahead and
hold the vehicle for two seconds in the
stop position. If the vehicle ahead does
not start moving within two seconds the
ACC system will display a message that
the system will release the brakes and
that the brakes must be applied manually.
An audible chime will sound when
the brakes are released.
- You should switch off the ACC system:
- When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy
snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway
construction zones).
- When entering a turn lane or highway
off ramp; when driving on roads that
are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery,
or have steep uphill or downhill
slopes.
- When towing a trailer up or down steep
slopes.
- When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
When engaged, the Cruise Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than
20 mph (32 km/h).
The Cruise Control buttons are located on the
right side of the steering wheel...
Other information:
Push the Stop/Start OFF switch (located on
the switch bank). The light on the switch
will illuminate.
Stop/Start OFF Switch
The STOP/START OFF message will appear
in the instrument cluster.
At the next vehicle stop (after turning off the
Stop/Start system), the engine will not be
stopped...
RCP is intended to aid the driver when backing
out of parking spaces where their vision of
oncoming vehicles may be blocked. Proceed
slowly and cautiously out of the parking space
until the rear end of the vehicle is exposed. The
RCP system will then have a clear view of the
cross traffic and if an oncoming vehicle is
detected, alert the driver...
