Cadillac 2007 DTS Automobile User Manual


 
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 239.
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 303 and StabiliTrak
®
System on
page 305. 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.
