218 Cruise Control Changing the Set Speed There are three ways to change the set speed: • Accelerate or brake to the desired speed and press SET upward and release. • Increase or decrease the speed by holding SET upward or downward until the desired set speed is shown on the information display. The vehicle speed will gradually change to the selected speed. • Increase or decrease the speed in increments of 1 mph (2 km/h) by briefly pressing the SET upward or downward. The system may apply the brakes to slow the vehicle down to the new set speed. The set speed will display continuously in the information display while the system is active. Resuming the Set Speed Note: Resume should only be used if the driver is aware of the set speed and intends to return to it. Press and release RES/CNCL. The vehicle will return to the previously set speed. The set speed will display continuously in the information display while the system is active. Low Speed Automatic Cancellation The system is not functional at vehicle speeds below 16 mph (26 km/h). An audible alarm will sound and the automatic braking will be released 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 (i.e., driving in mountainous areas). Additional engine braking is needed in these situations to reduce the load on the vehicle's regular brake system to prevent them from overheating. 2013 MKT (mkt) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
