Cadillac 2005 STS - Manual (Page 155)

This symbol will appear on
the Head-Up Display
(HUD) to indicate that
Adaptive Cruise Control is
active. The number
indicates the set speed.
See Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 3-41 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 4-8 and
Stabilitrak
® System on page 4-10. 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).
Your vehicle will not reach the set speed until the system
determines there is not a vehicle in front of you. At
that point, your vehicle speed will increase to the
set speed.
