3. Get up to the speed you want.
4. Press in the set button at the end of the lever
and release it.
5. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Once Adaptive Cruise Control is set, it may
immediately apply the brakes if it detects a vehicle
ahead is too close or moving slower than your
vehicle.
This symbol will appear
on the Head-Up Display
(HUD) to indicate that
Adaptive Cruise
Control is active.
SeeHead-Up Display (HUD) on page 171for
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. SeeTraction Control System (TCS)
on page 329andStabiliTrak
®System on page 331.
When road conditions allow you to safely use
it again, you may turn the Adaptive Cruise Control
back on.
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 briey to resume/increase. Each time
you do this, your vehicle set speed will
increase by 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
154

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, briey 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, you can move the Adaptive Cruise Control
switch briey from on to resume/increase.
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 GAP button on
the steering wheel to
adjust the follow
distance.
Press the top of the button to increase the
distance or the bottom of the button to decrease
the distance. The rst button press will show
you the current follow distance setting on the HUD.
Your current follow distance setting will be
maintained until you change it.

may have to remove the fascia lens and clean
the inside of the fascia lens and radar lens.To clean the inside of the fascia lens and radar
lens, insert a tool into one of the small slots on the

instrument panel console and air path under
the seats clear of objects to help circulate
the air inside of your vehicle more effectively.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air lter removes
certain particles from the air, including pollen and
dust particles. Reductions in airow, which
may occur more often in dusty areas, indicate that
the lter may need to be replaced early.

To check or replace the air lter, do the following:
1. With the hood open, unlatch and remove
the access panel.
The passenger compartment air lter and
