Jeep 2016 CHEROKEE Operating Information Manual - page 113
A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC
predicts that its maximum braking level is not
sufficient to maintain the set distance. If this
occurs, a visual alert “BRAKE” will flash in the
DID and a chime will sound while ACC contin-
ues to apply its maximum braking capacity.
NOTE:
The “Brake!” Screen in the DID is a warning
for the driver to take action and does not
necessarily mean that the Forward Collision
Warning system is applying the brakes au-
tonomously.
Overtake Aid
When driving with ACC engaged and following
a target vehicle, the system will provide an
additional acceleration to assist in passing ve-
hicles in front. This additional acceleration is
triggered when the driver utilizes the left turn
signal. In locations with left hand drive traffic,
Overtake Aid is active only when passing on the
left hand side of the Target vehicles.
When a vehicle goes from a location with left
hand drive traffic to a location with right hand
drive traffic, the ACC system will automatically
detect traffic direction. In this condition, Over-
take Aid is active only when passing on the right
side of the Target vehicle. This additional accel-
eration is triggered when the driver utilizes the
right turn signal. In this condition the ACC
system will no longer provide Overtake Aid on
the left side until it determines that the vehicle
has moved back to a location with left hand
drive traffic.
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a
standstill while following a target vehicle, if the
target vehicle starts moving within two seconds
of your vehicle coming to a standstill, your
vehicle will resume motion without the need for
any driver action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within
two seconds of your vehicle coming to a stand-
still, the ACC with Stop system will cancel and
the brakes will release. A cancel message will
display on the DID and produce a warning
chime. Driver intervention will be required at this
moment.
While ACC with Stop is holding your vehicle at a
standstill, if the driver seatbelt is unbuckled or
the driver door is opened, the ACC with Stop
system will cancel and the brakes will release. A
cancel message will display on the DID and
produce a warning chime. Driver intervention
will be required at this moment.
