Cadillac 2009 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 on.
3. Get up to the desired speed.
4. Press
T 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 4-10,
StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-6 or Enhanced
StabiliTrak
®
on page 4-6. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, the Adaptive
Cruise Control can be turned back on.
