GMC Terrain: Setting Adaptive Cruise Control / Lighting Conditions Affecting ACC
The ACC front camera can be
affected by poor lighting conditions,
and ACC may have limited
performance when:
- There are changes in brightness,
such as entering and exiting
tunnels, bridges, and
overpasses.
- Low sun angles cause the
camera to not detect objects,
or it is more difficult to detect
objects in the same traffic lane.
- Lighting is poor in the evening or
early morning
- There are multiple changes in
brightness or shadows along the
vehicle roadway.
- In a tunnel without the
headlamps on, or in a tunnel
when there is a vehicle in front
that does not have its
taillamps on.
- Subjected to strong light from
opposing lane traffic in the front
of the vehicle, such as
high-beam headlamps from
oncoming traffic.
If the interior temperature is
extremely high, the instrument
cluster may indicate that ACC is
temporarily unavailable. This can be
caused by extreme hot weather
conditions with direct sunlight on the
front camera...
Do not install or place any object
around the front camera windshield
area that would obstruct the front
camera view.
Do not install objects on top of the
vehicle that overhang and obstruct
the front camera, such as a canoe,
kayak, or other items that can be
transported on a roof rack system...
Other information:
It is not necessary to check the
transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only
reason for fluid loss. If a leak
occurs, take the vehicle to your
dealer and have it repaired as soon
as possible.
Change the fluid at the intervals
listed in Maintenance Schedule
, and be sure to use the
transmission fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants...
ACC may automatically disengage
and the driver will need to manually
apply the brakes to slow the
vehicle if:
The front camera is blocked or
visibility is reduced.
The Traction Control System
(TCS) or StabiliTrak/ESC system
has activated or been disabled...
