Decreasing Set Speed While Using
Adaptive Cruise Control
Press the SET– button until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press
the SET– button. Each time you do this, your
set speed will decrease by 1 mph (1 km/h) slower.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your Adaptive Cruise Control at
a desired speed and then you apply the brake.
This will turn off the Adaptive Cruise Control. But
you do not need to reset it.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, press the +RES button. Adaptive Cruise
Control will be engaged with the previously chosen
set speed.
Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP)
When the system detects a slower moving vehicle,
it will adjust your vehicle’s speed and maintain
the follow distance (gap) you select.
Use the plus and minus buttons on the steering
wheel to adjust the follow distance.
Press the plus button to increase the distance or
the minus button to decrease the distance.
The first button press will show you the current
follow distance setting on the DIC. Your current
follow distance setting will be maintained until
you change it.
There are six follow distances to choose from. The
follow distance selection ranges from near to far
(one second to two seconds follow time). The
distance maintained for a selected follow distance
will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster
the vehicle speed the further back your vehicle will
follow. Consider traffic and weather conditions
when selecting the follow distance. The range of
selectable distances may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions. If you prefer to
travel at a follow distance farther than Adaptive
Cruise Control allows, disengage the system
and drive manually.
