Metric Speed (km/h)
Pushing the SET switch once will result in a
1 km/h speed adjustment. Each subse-
quent movement of the switch results in an
adjustment of 1 km/h.
If the switch is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to adjust until the switch
is released, then the new set speed will be
established.
NOTE:
Moving the SET switch allows for adjusting of
the speed according to the selected unit of
measurement set on the radio system. Refer
to the Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual for more information.
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the set speed.
Using Cruise Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain
may occur so it may be preferable to drive
without Cruise Control.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the
RES button and release. Resume can be used
at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).
NOTE:
Before resuming the previously set speed, you
must accelerate to a speed close to that
speed.
Resume Button Location
In AutoStick (sequential) mode, before
resuming the previously set speed, you should
accelerate until you are close to that speed.
Then, push and release the RES button.
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal deactivates the
Cruise Control without deleting the set speed.
The Cruise Control may also be deactivated by
applying the Electric Park Brake or when the
braking system is operated (e.g. operation of
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system).
The set speed is deleted in the following
cases:
Pushing the on/off button a second time
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
If there is a malfunction with the Cruise
Control
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) If Equipped
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a driver
assist system that combines the Cruise
Control functions with controlling the distance
from the vehicle ahead. ACC increases the
driving convenience provided by Cruise
Control while traveling on highways and major
roadways. However, it is not a safety system
and not designed to prevent collisions. The
Cruise Control function performs differently
Ú
page 105.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control
engaged in light to moderate traffic conditions
without the constant need to reset your Cruise
Control. ACC uses a radar sensor located
behind the front bumper and a camera located
in the center/upper part of the windshield, to
detect the presence of a vehicle close ahead.
WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding,
icy, snow-covered or slippery.
