This symbol appears 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 4‑38 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 5‑9,

on page 5‑7. When road conditions allow

you to safely use it again, the Adaptive Cruise Control
can be turned 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

T

at the end of the lever, then release the

button and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will
now cruise at the higher speed.

.

Move the Adaptive Cruise Control switch
from

R

to

S

. Hold it there until the desired set speed

is displayed in the HUD, then release the switch.
To increase the set speed in small amounts, move
the switch briefly to resume/increase. Each time
this is done, the vehicle set speed increases by
about 1.6 km/h (1 mph).

Your vehicle will not reach the set speed until the
system determines there is no vehicle in front of you.
At that point, your vehicle speed will increase to the
set speed.
