Follow Mode

On the approach to, or exit from a bend, a target vehicle may be lost or a new target may have been discovered. The vehicles ahead change their angular position with respect to the Adaptive Speed Control Module (ASCM). If the sensing vehicle is in follow mode losing the target vehicle, it will cause the sensing vehicle to increase its set speed. This acceleration is undesirable either on a bend in the road, or entering a bend in the road when the target is suddenly lost. In this situation the system inhibits the resumption of the set speed.

To indicate that the system is in follow mode:

• The follow mode warning indicator illuminates in the Instrument Cluster (IC).
• The current time gap setting is displayed in the message center.
