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 at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator
pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the Adaptive Cruise Control switch from
on to resume/increase. Hold it there until the
desired set speed is displayed in the HUD,
then release the switch. To increase your set
speed in very small amounts, move the
switch brie y to resume/increase. Each time
you do this, your vehicle set speed will
increase by 1 mph (1.6 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 in the set/decrease button on the end of the
lever until you reach the lower speed you want,
then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, brie y press
the set/decrease button. Each time you do this,
your set speed will be 1 mph (1.6 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, move the Adaptive Cruise Control
switch brie y from on to resume/increase. Adaptive
Cruise Control will be engaged with the previously
chosen set speed.

Information Display Menu Items
The following display menu items can be displayed
by pressing the information button.
MPH (km/h)
If your vehicle has this display, it shows the
vehicle’s speed digitally in either miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
MILES RANGE (km RANGE)
This display shows the approximate number of
remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) you
can drive without re lling the fuel tank. This
estimate is based on the current driving conditions
and will change if the driving conditions change.
For example, if you are driving in traffic making
frequent stops, the display may read one number,
but if you enter the freeway, the number may
change even though you still have the same
amount of fuel in the fuel tank. This is because
different driving conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving
produces better fuel economy than city driving.
Once the range drops below about 40 miles
(64 km) remaining, the display will show
LOW RANGE.If your vehicle is low on fuel, the Fuel Level Low
message will be displayed. See “Fuel Level
Low” underDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 264for more information.
MPG AVG (L/100 km AVG)
This display shows the approximate average
miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km). This number is calculated based
on the number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since
the last time this display was reset. To reset
MPG AVG, press the reset button. The display
will return to zero.
MPG INST (L/100 km INST)
This display shows the current fuel economy. This
number re ects only the fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now and will change frequently as
driving conditions change. Unlike average fuel
economy, this display cannot be reset.
GAL FUEL USED (L FUEL USED)
This display shows the number of gallons (gal) or
liters (L) of fuel used since the last reset of this
display. To reset GAL FUEL USED, press
the reset button. The display will return to zero.
261

AVG MPH (AVG km/h)
This display shows the average speed of the
vehicle in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per
hour (km/h). This average is calculated based on
the various vehicle speeds recorded since the last
reset of this display. To reset AVG MPH, press the
reset button. The display will return to zero.
TIMER OFF
This display can be used like a stopwatch. You can
record the time it takes to travel from one point to
another. To access the timer, press the information
button until 00:00:00 TIMER OFF displays. To turn
on the timer, press the reset button until TIMER ON
displays. The timer will then start. To turn off the
timer, press the reset button again until TIMER OFF
displays. The timer will stop and display the end
timing value. To reset the timer, press and hold the
reset button after the timer has been stopped. The
display will return to zero.
BATTERY VOLTS
This display shows the current battery voltage.
If the voltage is in the normal range, the value will
display. For example, the display may read
13.2 BATTERY VOLTS. If the voltage is low, the
display will have LOW after it. If the voltage is high,the display will have HIGH after it. Your vehicle’s
charging system regulates voltage based on
the state of the battery. The battery voltage may
uctuate when viewing this information on the DIC.
This is normal. SeeCharging System Light on
page 247for more information.
If there is a problem with the battery charging
system, the DIC may display a message. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 264and
Electric Power Management on page 221for
more information.
Tire Pressure
If your vehicle has a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
system, this display shows the air pressure of
each road tire in either pounds per square
inch (psi) or kilopascals (kPa). If the tire pressure
is normal, the value will display. If the tire
pressure is low, LOW will appear on the display
with the value. If the tire pressure is high,
HIGH will appear on the display with the value.
Press the information button to scroll through the
following displays:
LF TIRE:This display shows the air pressure in
the driver’s side front tire.
RF TIRE:This display shows the air pressure in
the passenger’s side front tire.
262

LR TIRE:This display shows the air pressure in
the driver’s side rear tire.
RR TIRE:This display shows the air pressure in
the passenger’s side rear tire.
If the tire pressure display shows dashes instead
of a value, there may be a problem with your
vehicle. If this consistently occurs, see your dealer
for service.
ENGINE OIL LIFE
If your vehicle has this display, it shows the
estimated oil life remaining. If you see
99% ENGINE OIL LIFE on the display, that means
that 99% of the current oil life remains.
When the oil life is depleted, the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the
display. Change the oil as soon as possible.
In addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance
is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in
this manual. SeeScheduled Maintenance on
page 505andEngine Oil on page 380.After an oil change, reset the ENGINE OIL LIFE
display. To reset, seeEngine Oil Life System on
page 383. The display will show 100% ENGINE OIL
LIFE after it has been reset. Also clear the
