Cadillac 2008 STS-V Automobile User Manual


 
The set speed is selected by the driver. This is the
speed you will travel if there is no vehicle detected
in your path.
To set Adaptive Cruise Control, do the following:
1. Make sure the Head-Up Display (HUD) is on and
properly adjusted. You cannot engage Adaptive
Cruise Control unless the HUD is on. See Head-Up
Display (HUD) on page 3-43 for more information.
2. Move the switch to the on position.
3. Get up to the desired speed.
4. Press in the set button at the end of the lever
and release the button.
5. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Once Adaptive Cruise Control is set, it might
immediately apply the brakes if it detects a vehicle
ahead that is too close or moving slower than
your vehicle.
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 3-43 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 4-6, StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-8 or
Enhanced StabiliTrak
®
on page 4-9. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you can
turn the Adaptive Cruise Control back on.
