GMC Terrain: Adaptive Cruise Control Setting / ACC Resume Notification

ACC will maintain the following gap behind the detected vehicle and slowly bring your vehicle to a stop behind that vehicle.

If the vehicle ahead drives away after your vehicle has stopped and ACC does not resume, the vehicle ahead indicator will flash as a reminder to check traffic ahead before proceeding. Additionally, the left and right sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse three times, or three audible beeps will sound. Refer to "Alert Type" and "Adaptive Cruise Go Notifier" in "Collision Detection Systems" in Vehicle Personalization.

When the vehicle ahead drives away, press RES+ or the accelerator pedal to resume ACC. If stopped for more than two minutes, or if the driver's door is opened and the driver's seat belt is unbuckled, ACC automatically applies the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) to hold the vehicle. The EPB status indicator will illuminate. Refer to Electric Parking Brake.

A DIC warning message may display indicating a shift to P (Park) before exiting the vehicle. See Vehicle Messages.

Warning

If ACC has stopped the vehicle, and if ACC is turned off, turned off, or canceled, the vehicle will no longer be held at a stop. The vehicle may move. When ACC is holding the vehicle at a stop, always be ready to manually apply the brakes.

Leaving the vehicle without placing it in P (Park) can be dangerous. Do not leave the vehicle while ACC is holding it at a stop. Always place the vehicle in P (Park) and turn off the ignition before exiting the vehicle.

ACC Override

If the accelerator pedal is used while ACC is active, the ACC indicator light on the instrument cluster will turn blue to indicate that ACC braking will not occur. ACC will resume operation when the accelerator pedal is released.

ACC will not automatically apply the brake if your foot is resting on the accelerator pedal. You could collide with the vehicle ahead of you.
