Cruise Control in Sport (S) and Manual
Paddle Shift Gear Selection
When your vehicle is in Sport (S) and the manual
paddle shift controls are not being used, cruise control
operates in the same manner as Drive (D).
When your vehicle is in Sport (S) and the manual
paddle shift controls are being used, cruise control
operates as follows:
• If cruise control is active and a gear is selected
with the manual paddle shift controls, the vehicle
maintains vehicle speed in the driver selected gear
and will not automatically up-shift or down-shift the
transmission while the driver’s gear selection is
active.
• If driving in hilly terrain, cruise control may not be
able to maintain vehicle speed if an up-shift or
down-shift is not selected by the driver. While driving
on hilly terrain and cruise control is active with a
manual paddle shift gear selection, the driver must
select the proper gear for the terrain or select Drive
(D) on the gear range selector for full automatic
transmission operation.
Ending Cruise Control
To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the
brake pedal. If your vehicle has a manual transmission,
lightly tapping the clutch will also end a cruise control
session.
Move the cruise control switch to off to turn the system
completely off.
When cruise control is disengaged, the CRUISE
DISENGAGED message displays on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-55.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
the cruise control set speed memory is erased.
