Cruise Control The current gap setting and SET also shows. Following a Vehicle WARNINGS When following a vehicle in front of you, your vehicle does not decelerate automatically to a stop, nor does your vehicle always decelerate quickly enough to avoid a crash without driver intervention. Always apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so may result in a crash, serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. In some cases there may be no warning or a delayed warning. You should always apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so may result in a crash, serious injury or death. Setting a Speed 1. Accelerate to the desired speed. 2. Press and release SET+. Memory stores the vehicle speed. 3. The information display shows a green indicator light, current gap setting and desired set speed. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. The system may provide slight temporary acceleration when you use your driver side directional indicator while following a lead vehicle, to aid in passing the vehicle. The lead vehicle graphic illuminates. The vehicle maintains a constant distance between the vehicle ahead until: • The vehicle in front of you accelerates to a speed above the set speed. • The vehicle in front of you moves out of your lane or out of view. • The vehicle speed falls below 12.4 mph (20 km/h). • A new gap distance is set. The system applies the brakes to slow the vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. The system applies only limited maximum braking. Press the brake pedal to override the system. If the system predicts that its maximum braking level is insufficient, an audible warning sounds while the system continues to brake. A red warning bar appears on the windshield heads up display. Take immediate action to slow or stop the vehicle. E164805 5. A lead vehicle graphic illuminates if there is a vehicle detected in front of you.

Note: The brakes may emit a sound when the adaptive cruise control system is active. When a vehicle ahead of you enters the same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to maintain a preset gap distance. The distance setting is adjustable. 205
