To set Adaptive Cruise Control, do the following:
1. Press the
] (On) button.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press in the SET button and release it.
4. 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.
The on symbol is located on the display at the top of
the instrument panel to the right of the driver. When the
on symbol is lit on the display, it indicates that
Adaptive Cruise Control is active.
A message on the DIC will also display when Adaptive
Cruise Control is set. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-76.
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 4-9 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 and then release the
button and the accelerator pedal. You will now
cruise at the higher speed.
Press the RES button. Hold it there until the desired
set speed is displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC), then release the switch. To increase
your set speed in very small amounts, move the
switch briefly to RES. Each time you do this,
your vehicle set speed will increase by
1 mph (1 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.
