Overriding Adaptive Cruise Control

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

•

Accelerate or brake to the desired speed,

then press

SET

upward and release.

•

Increase or decrease the speed by holding

SET

upward or downward SET until the

desired set speed shows on the

information display. The vehicle speed

will gradually change to the selected

speed.

•

Increase or decrease the speed in

increments of 1 mph (2km/h) by briefly

pressing

SET

upward or downward.

The system may apply the brakes to slow

your 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

Note:

Only use resume if you are aware of the

set speed and intend to return to it.

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.

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

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 the System Off

Note:

The set speed memory erases when

you switch off the system.

Press and release

OFF

or turn off the ignition.
