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. The vehicle
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 this is done, your
set speed increases 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.
Decreasing Set Speed While Using
Adaptive Cruise Control
Press the SET– button until you reach the lower speed
desired, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press the
SET– button. Each time this is done, your set speed
decreases by 1 mph (1 km/h) slower.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose the Adaptive Cruise Control is set at a desired
speed and then the brakes are applied. This will turn
off the Adaptive Cruise Control. But it does not need
to be reset.
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 shows the current follow distance setting on
the DIC. The current follow distance setting will
be maintained until you change it.
