PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal.
USING CRUISE CONTROL WARNINGS
Do not use cruise control in heavy
traffic, on winding roads or when the
road surface is slippery. This could
result in loss of vehicle control, serious
injury or death.
When you are going downhill, your
vehicle speed may increase above
the set speed. The system will not
apply the brakes. Change down a gear to
assist the system in maintaining the set
speed. Failure to do so could result in loss
of vehicle control, serious injury or death.
Note: Cruise control will disengage if the
vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph
(16 km/h) below your set speed while
driving uphill.

ECO Cruise Control This feature saves vehicle energy by
relaxing acceleration compared to
standard cruise control. For example, your
vehicle may temporarily lose speed when
going uphill. ECO will appear in the
information display when ECO cruise
control is activated. It can be switched on
or off in the information display. See
General Information (page 86).
USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNINGS
Always pay close attention to
changing road conditions, especially
when using adaptive cruise control.
Adaptive cruise control cannot replace
attentive driving. Failing to follow any of
the warnings below or failing to pay
attention to the road may result in a crash,
serious injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
warning or avoidance system.
Adaptive cruise control will not
detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Adaptive cruise control will not
detect pedestrians or objects in the
roadway.
Adaptive cruise control will not
detect oncoming vehicles in the
same lane.
Do not use the adaptive cruise
control when entering or leaving a
highway, in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, slippery or unpaved.
Do not use in poor visibility,
specifically fog, rain, spray or snow. Note: It is your responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
The system adjusts your speed to maintain
a proper distance between you and the
vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You
can select from one of four gap settings. E144501
The controls for using your cruise control
are located on the steering wheel.
Switching the System On Press and release ON . E144529

186Cruise Control

3. The information display will show a
green indicator light, current gap
setting and desired set speed.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal. E164805
5. A lead vehicle graphic will illuminate if
there is a vehicle detected in front of
you.
Note: When adaptive cruise control is
active, the set speed displayed in the
information display may vary slightly from
the speedometer.
Following a Vehicle WARNINGS
When following a vehicle in front of
you, your vehicle will not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor your the
vehicle always decelerate quickly enough
to avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Always apply the brakes when necessary.
Failing to do so may result in a crash,
serious injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control only warns
of vehicles detected by the radar
sensor. In some cases there may be
no warning or the warning may be delayed.
The driver should always apply the brakes
when necessary. Failing to do so may result
in a crash, serious injury or death.
Note: The brakes may emit a sound when
modulated by the adaptive cruise control
system. When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in
the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts
to maintain a preset gap distance. The
distance setting is adjustable.
The lead vehicle graphic will illuminate.
The vehicle will maintain a constant
distance between the vehicle ahead until:
• the vehicle in front of you accelerates
to a speed above the set speed
• the vehicle in front of you moves out of
your lane or out of view
• the vehicle speed falls below 12 mph
(20 km/h)
• a new gap distance is set.
The vehicle will apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front. The maximum
braking which the system can apply is
limited. You can override the system by
applying the brakes.
If the system predicts that its maximum
braking level will not be sufficient, an
audible warning will sound while the
system continues to brake. This is
accompanied by a heads-up display; a red
warning bar illuminating on the windshield.
You should take immediate action.
Setting the Gap Distance Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions.

WARNING
Whenever the driver is overriding the
system by pressing the accelerator
pedal, the system will not
automatically apply the brakes to maintain
separation from any vehicle ahead.
You can override the set speed and gap
distance by pressing the accelerator pedal.
188Cruise Control

E144529
When you override the system,
the green indicator light
illuminates and the lead vehicle
graphic does not show in the
information display.
The system will resume operation when
you release the accelerator pedal. The
vehicle speed will decrease to the set
speed, or a lower speed if following a
slower vehicle.
Changing the Set Speed • Accelerate or brake to the desired
speed, then press and release SET+ .
• Press and hold SET+ or SET- until the
desired set speed shows on the
information display. The vehicle speed
will gradually change to the selected
speed.
• Press and release SET+ or SET- . The
set speed will change in approximately
1 mph (2 km/h) increments.
The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed will display continuously in the
information display while the system is
active.
Resuming the Set Speed Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.
Press and release RES . The vehicle will
return to the previously set speed. The set
speed will display continuously in the
information display while the system is
active.
Low Speed Automatic
Cancellation
The system is not functional at vehicle
speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h). An
audible alarm will sound and the
automatic braking releases if the vehicle
drops below this speed. Hilly Condition Usage Note: An audible alarm will sound and the
system will shut down if it is applying brakes
for an extended period of time. This allows
the brakes to cool down. The system will
function normally again when the brakes
have cooled down.
You should select a lower gear position
when the system is active in situations
such as prolonged downhill driving on
steep grades, for example in mountainous
areas. The system needs additional engine
braking in these situations to reduce the
load on the vehicle’s regular brake system
to prevent them from overheating.
Switching the System Off Note: The set speed memory erases when
you switch off the system.
Press and release OFF or turn off the
ignition.
Detection Issues The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. It may not detect vehicles at all or
detect a vehicle later than expected in
some situations. The lead vehicle graphic
will not illuminate if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you.
189Cruise Control

E71621
Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.A
With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.B
There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front
when driving into and coming out
of a bend or curve in the road.C
In these cases, the system may brake late
or unexpectedly. The driver should stay
alert and intervene when necessary. If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the
radar-sensing zone may change. This could
cause missed or false vehicle detections.
See an authorized dealer to have the radar
checked for proper coverage and
operation.
System Not Available Conditions that can cause the system to
deactivate or prevent the system from
activating when requested include:
• a blocked sensor
• high brake temperature
• a failure in the system or a related
system.
Blocked Sensor WARNINGS
Do not use the system when towing
a trailer with brake controls.
Aftermarket trailer brakes will not
function properly when the system is
activated because the brakes are
electronically controlled. Failing to do so
may result in loss of vehicle control, which
could result in serious injury.
Do not use tire sizes other than those
recommended because this can
affect the normal operation of the
system. Failing to do so may result in a loss
of vehicle control, which could result in
serious injury.
