Resuming the Set Speed

Note: Resume should only be used if you are aware of the set speed and
intend 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 sounds and the automatic braking released if the
vehicle drops below this speed.

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 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 driving in mountainous areas. Your vehicle needs additional
engine braking in these situations to reduce the load on the vehicle’s
regular brake system to prevent them from overheating.

Switching Off Adaptive Cruise Control

Note: The set speed memory will erase when you switch the system off.

Press and release OFF or turn off the ignition.
