Overriding the System
WARNING
Whenever the driver is overriding the
system by pressing the accelerator
pedal, the system will not automatically apply
the brakes to maintain separation from any
vehicle ahead.
You can override the set speed and gap
distance by pressing the accelerator pedal.
E144529
When you override the system,
the green indicator light
illuminates and the lead vehicle
graphic does not show in the information
display.
The system will resume operation when you
release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle
speed will decrease to the set speed, or a
lower speed if following a slower vehicle.
Changing the Set Speed
• Press and release SET+ or SET-. The set
speed will change in approximately 1 mph
(2 km/h) increments.
• Accelerate or brake to the desired speed,
then press and release SET+.
• Press and hold SET+ or SET- until the
desired set speed shows on the
information display. The vehicle speed
will gradually change to the selected
speed.
The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed will display continuously in the
information display while the system is active.
Resuming the Set Speed
Press and release RES. The vehicle will
return to the previously set speed. The set
speed will display continuously in the
information display while the system is active.
Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.
Low Speed Automatic Cancellation
The system is not functional at vehicle
speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h). An audible
alarm will sound and the automatic braking
releases if the vehicle drops below this
speed.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note: An audible alarm will sound and the
system will shut down if it is applying brakes
for an extended period of time. This allows
the brakes to cool down. The system will
function normally again when the brakes
have cooled down.
You should select a lower gear position
when the system is active in situations such
as prolonged downhill driving on steep
grades, for example in mountainous areas.
The system needs additional engine braking
in these situations to reduce the load on the
vehicle’s regular brake system to prevent
them from overheating.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control Off
Press and release OFF when the system is
in stand by mode or switch the ignition off.
