3. Get up to the speed you want.
4. Press in the set button at the end of the lever
and release it.
5. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Once Adaptive Cruise Control is set, it may
immediately apply the brakes if it detects a vehicle
ahead is too close or moving slower than your
vehicle.
This symbol will appear
on the Head-Up Display
(HUD) to indicate that
Adaptive Cruise
Control is active.
See Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 171 for
more information.
Make sure the set speed is visible on the HUD so
you know the speed your vehicle will accelerate to if
a vehicle is not detected in your path. Keep in mind
speed limits, surrounding traffic speeds and
weather conditions when adjusting your set speed.
If your vehicle is in Adaptive Cruise Control when
the traction control system begins to limit wheel
spin, the Adaptive Cruise Control will automatically
disengage. See Traction Control System (TCS)
on page 329 and StabiliTrak
® System on page 331.
When road conditions allow you to safely use
it again, you may turn the Adaptive Cruise Control
back on.
Increasing Set Speed While Using Adaptive
Cruise Control
There are two ways to increase the set speed:
• Use the accelerator to get to the higher speed.
Press the set button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator
pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed.
• Move the Adaptive Cruise Control switch from
on to resume/increase. Hold it there until the
desired set speed is displayed in the HUD,
then release the switch. To increase your set
speed in very small amounts, move the
switch briefly to resume/increase. Each time
you do this, your vehicle set speed will
increase by 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
