Cadillac 2005 XLR - Manual (Page 139)

Other Vehicle Lane Changes
If another vehicle enters the same lane as you, Adaptive
Cruise Control will not detect the vehicle until it is
completely in the lane. Be ready to take action and apply
the brakes yourself.
Using Adaptive Cruise Control on Hills
How well Adaptive Cruise Control will work on hills
depends on your speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions
and the steepness of the hills. It may not detect a
vehicle in your lane while driving on hills. When going
up steep hills, you may want to use the accelerator
pedal to maintain your speed.
When going downhill, you may have to brake to keep
your speed down. Applying the brake disengages
the system. You may choose not to use Adaptive Cruise
Control on steep hills.
Disengaging Adaptive Cruise Control
To disengage the system, apply the brake pedal or
move the Adaptive Cruise Control switch to off. Adaptive
Cruise Control information will not appear on the HUD
when the system is not engaged.
Erasing Set Speed Memory
When you turn the Adaptive Cruise Control switch or
the ignition off, the set speed memory is erased.
Other Messages
There are three messages that may appear in the
Driver Information Center (DIC). They are SERVICE
RADAR CRUISE, CRUISE NOT READY and CLEAN
RADAR CRUISE. These messages will only appear
to indicate a problem if Adaptive Cruise Control is active.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64 for
more information.
You may also see CRUISE SPEED LIMITED displayed
