Decreasing Set Speed While Using Adaptive Cruise Control Press the SET button until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press the SET button. Each time you do this, your set speed will decrease by 1 mph (1 km/h) slower. Use the plus and minus buttons on the steering wheel to adjust the follow distance. Press the plus button to increase the distance or the minust button to decrease the distance. The first button press will show you the current follow distance setting on the DIC. Your current follow distance setting will be maintained until you change it. There are six follow distances to choose from. The follow distance selection ranges from near to far (one second to two seconds follow time). The distance maintained for a selected follow distance will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed the further back your vehicle will follow. Consider traffic and weather conditions when selecting the follow distance. The range of selectable distances may not be appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions. If you prefer to travel at a follow distance farther than Adaptive Cruise Control allows, disengage the system and drive manually. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your Adaptive Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This will disengage the Adaptive Cruise Control. But you do not need to reset it. Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, press the RES button. Adaptive Cruise Control will be engaged with the previously chosen set speed. Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP) When the system detects a slower moving vehicle, it will adjust your vehicle's speed and maintain the follow distance (gap) you select. 3-24
