PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Cruise control lets you maintain a set speed
without keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal. You can use cruise control when your
vehicle speed is greater than 20 mph
(30 km/h).
USING CRUISE CONTROL WARNINGS
Do not use cruise control on winding
roads, in heavy traffic 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 could increase above
the set speed. The system does not apply
the brakes. Note:
Cruise control disengages if the
vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph
(16 km/h)
below the set speed when driving
uphill. The cruise controls are on the steering
wheel.
Switching Cruise Control On
Press
ON.
The indicator appears in the
information display.
Setting the Cruise Speed
1. Drive to desired speed.
2. Press
SET+ or SET-.
3. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Note: The indicator changes color. Changing the Set Speed
Note:
If you accelerate by pressing the
accelerator pedal, the set speed will not
change. When you release the accelerator
pedal, your vehicle returns to the speed that
you previously set.
• Press
SET+ or SET- to change the set
speed in small increments.
• Press the accelerator or brake pedal until
you reach the desired speed. Press SET+
or
SET-.
• Press and hold
SET+ or SET-. Release
the control when you reach the desired
speed.

Press OFF when the system is in standby
mode, or switch the ignition off.
USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL
(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Always pay close attention to changing
road conditions when using adaptive
cruise control. The system does not replace
attentive driving. Failing to pay attention to
the road may result in a crash, serious injury
or death. Do not use the adaptive cruise control
when entering or leaving a highway,
on roads with intersections or roundabouts
or non-vehicular traffic or roads that are
winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep slopes. Do not use the system in poor visibility,
for example fog, heavy rain, spray or
snow. WARNINGS
Do not use the system when towing a
trailer with aftermarket trailer brake
controls. Aftermarket trailer brakes will not
function properly when you switch the
system on 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. Failure
to do so may result in a loss of vehicle
control, which could result in serious injury. Adaptive cruise control may not detect
stationary or slow moving vehicles
below
6 mph (10 km/h). Adaptive cruise control does not detect
pedestrians or objects in the road.
Adaptive cruise control does not detect
oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
warning or avoidance system. Note:
It is your responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
The system adjusts your vehicle speed to
maintain the set gap between you and the
vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You
can select four gap settings.
The system uses a radar sensor that projects
a beam directly in front of your vehicle. The adaptive cruise controls are on the
steering wheel.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control On
Press
ON.
209
MKT (TP4) , enUSA, Edition date: 201703, First Printing Cruise ControlE173611

The indicator, current gap setting
and set speed appear in the
information display.
Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speed
Note:
When adaptive cruise control is active,
the speedometer may vary slightly from the
set speed displayed in the information
display.
1. Drive to desired speed.
2. Press SET+ or SET-.
3. A green indicator light, the current gap setting and your set speed appear in the
information display.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 5.
A vehicle image illuminates if the system
detects a vehicle in front of you.
Following a Vehicle WARNINGS
When following a vehicle, your vehicle
does not decelerate automatically to a
stop, nor does your 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
a delayed warning. You should always apply
the brakes when necessary. Failure to do so
may result in a crash, serious injury or death. Note:
When you are following a vehicle and
you switch on a direction indicator, adaptive
cruise control may provide a small temporary
acceleration to help you pass.
Note: The brakes may emit noise when
applied by the 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. A vehicle
graphic illuminates in the instrument cluster.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap from
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
the lane you are in.
• Your vehicle speed falls below
12 mph
(20 km/h).
• You set a new gap distance.
The system applies the brakes to slow your
vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance from
the vehicle in front. The system only applies
limited braking. You can override the system
by applying the brakes.
210
MKT (TP4) , enUSA, Edition date: 201703, First Printing Cruise ControlE144529 E164805 E164805

If the system determines that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient, an audible
warning sounds when the system continues
to brake. A red warning bar displays on the
windshield and you must take immediate
action.
Setting the Gap Distance
Note:
The gap setting is time dependent and
therefore the distance adjusts with your
vehicle speed.
Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions.
You can decrease or increase the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
by pressing the gap control. The selected gap appears in the information
display as shown by the bars in the image.Adaptive Cruise Control Gap Settings Dynamic behavior

Overriding the Set Speed WARNING
If you override the system by pressing
the accelerator pedal, it does not
automatically apply the brakes to maintain a
gap from any vehicle ahead. When you press the accelerator pedal, you
override the set speed and gap distance.
211
MKT (TP4) , enUSA, Edition date: 201703, First Printing Cruise ControlE173611 E164805

When you override the system, the
green indicator light illuminates
and the vehicle image does not
appear in the information display.
The system resumes operation when you
release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle
speed decreases to the set speed, or a lower
speed if following a slower vehicle.
Changing the Set Speed
• Press SET+ or SET- to change the set
speed in small increments.
• Press the accelerator or brake pedal until
you reach the desired speed. Press SET+
or
SET-.
• Press and hold
SET+ or SET- to change
the set speed in large increments.
Release the control when you reach the
desired speed.
The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed displays continuously in the
information display when the system is
active. Canceling the Set Speed
Press
CNCL or tap the brake pedal. The set
speed does not erase.
Resuming the Set Speed
Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.
Press
RES. Your vehicle speed returns to
the previously set speed and gap setting.
The set speed displays continuously in the
information display when the system is
active.
Automatic Cancellation
Note: If the engine speed drops too low, an
audible warning sounds and a message
appears in the information display.
Automatic braking releases.
The system does not operate below
12 mph
(20 km/h).
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
• The tires lose traction.
• The engine speed is too low.
• You apply the parking brake. Hilly Condition Usage
Note:
An audible alarm sounds and the
system shuts down if it applies brakes for an
extended period of time. This allows the
brakes to cool. The system functions
normally again after the brakes cool.
Select a lower gear 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 it from
overheating.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control Off
Note: You erase the set speed and gap
setting when you switch the system off.
Press
OFF when the system is in standby
mode, or switch the ignition off.

Detection Issues
WARNINGS
On rare occasions, detection issues
can occur due to the road
infrastructures, for example bridges, tunnels
and safety barriers. In these cases, the
system may brake late or unexpectedly. At
all times, you are responsible for controlling
your vehicle, supervising the system and
intervening, if required. If the system malfunctions, have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
The radar sensor has a limited field of view.
It may not detect vehicles at all or detect a
vehicle later than expected in some
situations. The lead vehicle graphic does not
illuminate if the system does not detect a
vehicle in front of you. 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. You should stay alert and take
action 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 detection.
