Cruise Control Each time you start the vehicle, the system selects the last chosen gap for the current driver. The system resumes operation when you release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle speed decreases to the set speed, or a slower speed if following a slower vehicle. Press and release RES. The vehicle returns to the previously set speed. The set speed displays continuously in the information display while the system is active. Disengaging the System Press the brake pedal or press CNCL. The last set speed displays in grey but does not erase. Changing the Set Speed • • 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 gradually changes to the selected speed. Press and release SET+ or SET-. The set speed changes in approximately 1 mph (2 km/h) increments. Low Speed Automatic Cancellation The system does not function at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h). An audible alarm sounds and the automatic braking releases if your vehicle drops below this speed. Overriding the System WARNING Whenever the driver presses the accelerator pedal and overrides the system, the system does not automatically apply the brakes to maintain the set distance from any vehicle ahead. Press the accelerator pedal to override the set speed and gap distance. When you override the system, the green indicator light E144529 illuminates and the lead vehicle graphic does not show in the information display. Hilly Condition Usage Note: An audible alarm sounds and the system shuts down if it is applying brakes for an extended period of time. This allows the brakes to cool. The system functions normally again when the brakes cool. Select a lower gear during prolonged downhill driving on steep slopes, such as mountainous areas, when the system is active. In such situations, the system needs additional engine braking to reduce the load on the vehicle's regular brake system to prevent the brakes from overheating. • The system may apply the brakes to slow the vehicle to the new set speed. The set speed displays continuously in the information display when 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. 207 MKZ (), enUSA
