To Vary The Speed Setting
Increasing Speed
Once the system has been activated, you
can increase the speed by pushing the
SET switch upward. Each time the switch
is pushed, the speed increases by 1 mph.
By pushing and holding the switch
upward, the set speed will increase in
increments of 5 mph until the switch is
released. Then, the new speed will be set.
Decreasing Speed
Once the system has been activated, you
can decrease the speed by pushing the
SET switch downward. Each time the
switch is pushed, the speed decreases by
1 mph.
By pushing and holding the switch
downward, the set speed will decrease in
increments of 5 mph until the switch is
released. Then, the new speed will be set.
Note:
Moving the SET switch allows you to
adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement ("US" or
"Metric") set on the Information and
Entertainment System (see dedicated
supplement).
When the unit of measurement is set
to Metric, pushing and holding the SET
switch will adjust the speed in 10 km/h
increments.
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the vehicle can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In this
case, use the SET switch to set the
speed to the vehicle’s current speed.
When you push the SET button to
reduce the speed, the braking system
intervenes automatically if the engine
brake does not slow the vehicle down
sufficiently to reach the set speed. The
device holds the set speed uphill and
downhill; however a slight variation is
entirely normal, particularly on slight
inclines.
The transmission could shift to a
lower gear when driving downhill, or
when accelerating. This is normal and
necessary to maintain the set speed
The system will disable while driving
if the brakes overheat.
Accelerating When Overtaking
When driving with ACC activated and
following a vehicle, the system will
provide an additional acceleration up to
the ACC set speed to assist in passing the
vehicle. This additional acceleration is
triggered when the driver utilizes the left
turn signal and will only be active when
passing on the left hand side.
The system detects the direction of
traffic automatically when the vehicle
passes from left-hand traffic to
right-hand traffic. In this case, the
overtaking assist function is only active
when the reference vehicle is overtaken
on the right. The additional acceleration
is deactivated when the driver uses the
right direction indicator and returns to
the original lane.
Resuming The Speed
Once the system has been canceled but
not deactivated, to resume a previously
set speed, simply push the RES button
and remove your foot from the
accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
