How to Use Jeep’s Adaptive Cruise Control

Drive Smarter with Jeep’s Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is one of the most advanced safety features available in today’s Jeep vehicles. Unlike traditional cruise control systems, Jeep’s ACC automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead — improving both safety and comfort on the road.

At Chris Crain Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat in Benton, Arkansas, we’re here to help you understand how this feature works and why it could be a game-changer for your daily drive or weekend adventures.

What Is Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)?

ACC uses radar or laser-based sensors to monitor the vehicles in front of you. While standard cruise control maintains a set speed, Jeep’s ACC takes it further by slowing down or speeding up automatically depending on traffic conditions.

How It Works:

• Detects vehicles ahead using built-in sensors
  
• Adjusts your vehicle’s speed to maintain a pre-set following distance
  
• Brakes or reduces engine power when necessary
  
• Returns to your set speed when the road clears
  

This smart system is ideal for highway cruising, long-distance travel, and stop-and-go city traffic.

Top Benefits of Jeep’s Adaptive Cruise Control

✅ Safer Driving

By automatically managing your speed and distance, ACC helps reduce the risk of rear-end collisions, which are often caused by human error or slow reaction times.

✅ Less Driver Fatigue

On long drives, ACC reduces the mental load by handling speed adjustments and braking — making it easier to stay focused and relaxed behind the wheel.

✅ Smoother Commutes

In heavy traffic, ACC helps you maintain a steady flow without constantly tapping the brakes or gas. It’s especially helpful for stop-and-go conditions.

✅ Better Fuel Efficiency

By promoting smoother acceleration and braking, ACC can contribute to more efficient fuel use over time.

How To Use Jeep’s Adaptive Cruise Control

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Activate the System
   Press the ACC On/Off button on the steering wheel. A notification on your instrument panel will confirm it’s ready.
   
2. Set Your Speed
   Use the SET+ or SET- buttons to choose your cruising speed. This will appear on the driver display.
   
3. Choose Your Following Distance
   Use the distance adjustment buttons (usually shown as bars or icons) to set how closely you want to follow the vehicle ahead. You can choose from 1 to 4 bars, depending on your comfort level.
   
4. Monitor the System
   Once active, ACC will automatically adapt to traffic conditions. You may see alerts like “System Cancel” or “Proximity Warning” if manual input is needed.
   
5. Deactivate When Needed
   Press the On/Off button again to disable ACC. You can also override it by pressing the brake or accelerator at any time.
   

Tips for Using ACC on the Road

Even though ACC automates some aspects of driving, you remain in control. Keep these tips in mind:

• 🔍 Stay alert: ACC does not steer — you’re still responsible for steering and being aware of road conditions.
  
• ⚠️ Use caution in bad weather: Rain, snow, or fog can interfere with sensors. Manual control is recommended in harsh weather.
  
• 🚘 Override when needed: You can always take control by braking or accelerating as needed.
