Express Window Anti-Pinch Feature
If any object is in the path of the window when
the express-up is active, the window will stop at the
obstruction and auto-reverse to a preset factory position.
Weather conditions such as severe icing may also
cause the window to auto-reverse. The window
will return to normal operation once the obstruction or
condition is removed.
Express Window Anti-Pinch Override
{CAUTION:
If express override is activated, the window
will not reverse automatically. You or others
could be injured and the window could be
damaged. Before you use express override,
make sure that all people and obstructions are
clear of the window path.
In an emergency, the anti-pinch feature can be
overridden in a supervised mode. Hold the window
switch all the way up to the second position. The window
will rise for as long as the switch is held. Once the
switch is released, the express mode is re-activated.
In this mode, the window can still close on an object in
its path. Use care when using the override mode.

Adaptive Cruise Control is an enhancement to traditional
cruise control. It allows you to keep cruise control
engaged in moderate traffic conditions without having to
constantly reset your cruise control. Adaptive Cruise
Control uses radar to detect a vehicle directly ahead in
your path, within a distance of 330 ft (100 m), and
operates at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h). When it is
engaged by the driver, the system can apply limited
braking or acceleration of the vehicle automatically to
maintain a selected follow distance to the vehicle
ahead. Braking is limited to 0.25 g’s (2.45 m/sec2) of
deceleration, which is comparable to moderate
application of the vehicle’s brakes. To disengage
Adaptive Cruise Control, apply the brake. If no vehicle
is in your path, your vehicle will react like traditional
cruise control.
{CAUTION:
Adaptive Cruise Control will not apply hard
braking or bring the vehicle to a complete
stop. It will not respond to stopped vehicles,
pedestrians or animals. When you are
approaching a vehicle or object, Adaptive
Cruise Control may not have time to slow your
vehicle enough to avoid a collision. Your
complete attention is always required while
driving and you should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes. For more information,
seeDefensive Driving on page 4-2.

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, briey 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
disengage 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 rst 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.
