NOTE:
Moving the RES/SET switch downward
allows you to adjust the speed according to
the selected unit of measurement ("U.S." or
"Metric") set on the radio system. Refer to
the Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual Supplement for further
information.
When the unit of measurement is set to
Metric, pushing and holding the RES/SET
switch will adjust the speed in 10 km/h
increments.
By keeping the accelerator pedal pressed,
the vehicle can continue to accelerate
beyond the set speed. In this case, use the
RES/SET switch to set the speed to the
vehicle’s current speed.
When you push the RES/SET button to
reduce the speed, the braking system inter-
venes 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, particu-
larly on slight inclines.
The transmission could shift to a lower gear
when driving downhill, or when acceler-
ating. This is normal and necessary to main-
tain the set speed.
The system will disable while driving if the
brakes overheat.
To Resume
Once the system has been canceled but not
deactivated, to resume a previously set speed,
simply push the RES/SET switch upward and
remove your foot from the accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored speed.
Setting The Distance Between Vehicles
The distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead may be set to one bar (short),
two bars (medium), three bars (long), or four
bars (maximum).
Distance Icons
The distances from the vehicle ahead are
proportional to speed.
The interval of time with relation to the vehicle
ahead remains constant and varies from one
second (for the short distance one-bar setting)
to two seconds (for the maximum distance
four-bar setting).
The set distance is shown on the display by a
dedicated icon.
The setting is four bars (maximum) the first
time the system is used. After the distance has
been modified by the driver, the new distance
will be stored even if the system is deactivated
and reactivated.
WARNING!
The Resume function should only be used if
traffic and road conditions permit.
Resuming a set speed that is too high or too
low for prevailing traffic and road conditions
could cause the vehicle to accelerate or
decelerate too sharply for safe operation.
Failure to follow these warnings can result
in a collision and death or serious personal
injury.
