The camera is mounted on the windshield
behind the interior mirror.
The radar sensor is in the lower grille. Note:
You cannot see the sensor. It is behind
a fascia panel.
Note: Keep the front of your vehicle free of
dirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors, aftermarket lights, additional
paint or plastic coatings could also degrade
sensor performance.
A message displays if something obstructs
the camera or the sensor. When something
blocks the sensor, the system cannot detect
a vehicle ahead and does not function. See
How Does Adaptive Cruise Control With
Stop and Go Work (page 269).
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 image 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 B With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.
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.
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.
Optimal system performance requires a clear
view of the road by the windshield-mounted
camera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
• The camera is blocked.
• There is poor visibility or lighting
conditions.
• There are bad weather conditions. SWITCHING ADAPTIVE CRUISE

Automatic Cancellation or Deactivation
The system may cancel if:
• The tires lose traction.
• You apply the parking brake.

The system may cancel and set the parking
brake if:
•
You unbuckle the seatbelt and open the
driver door after you stop your vehicle.
• Your vehicle is held at a stop
continuously for more than three minutes.
The system may deactivate or prevent
activating when requested if:
• A sensor is blocked.
• The brake temperature is too high.
• There is a failure in the system or a
related system.
SETTING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL SPEED
Drive to the speed you prefer. Press either button to set the
current speed.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. The indicator, current gap setting and set
speed appear in the information display.
A vehicle image illuminates if there is a
vehicle detected in front of you.
Note:
When adaptive cruise control is active,
the speedometer may vary slightly from the
set speed displayed in the information
display.
Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speed
from a Complete Stop Press and release either button
while keeping the brake pedal fully
pressed.
The set speed adjusts to 20 mph (30 km/h). The indicator, current gap setting and set
speed appear in the information display.
Manually Changing the Set Speed Press and release to increase the
set speed in small increments.
Press and release to decrease the
set speed in small increments.
Press and hold either button to change the
set speed in large increments. Release the
button when you reach the speed you prefer.
Press the accelerator or brake pedal until
you reach the speed you prefer. Press either
button to select the current speed as the set
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.

SETTING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL GAP
Press the button to cycle through
the four gap settings.
The selected gap appears in the information
display as shown by the bars in the image.
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. Adaptive Cruise Control Gap Settings Dynamic

Each time you switch the system on, it

Following a Vehicle
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 the gap setting. 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.
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.
• 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.
Note: The brakes may emit noise when
applied by the system.
If the system determines that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient, an audible
warning sounds, a message appears in the
information display and an indicator flashes
when the system continues to brake. Take
immediate action.

CANCELING THE SET SPEED
Press the button or tap the brake
pedal.
The set speed does not erase.
RESUMING THE SET SPEED Press the button.
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.
Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.
Resuming the Set Speed from a
Complete Stop
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a complete
stop and remains stationary for less than
three seconds, your vehicle accelerates from
a stationary position to follow the vehicle
ahead. If your vehicle follows a vehicle to
a complete stop and remains
stationary for more than three
seconds, press and release the button or
press the accelerator pedal to follow the
vehicle ahead.
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.
Use the accelerator pedal to intentionally
exceed the set speed limit.
When you override the system, the green
indicator illuminates and the vehicle icon
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 with
Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control
When intelligent mode is on, the system
adjusts the set speed to the speed limit
detected by the camera and the speed limit
information provided by the navigation
system.
Note: The set speed adjusts when the
system detects a different maximum speed
limit.
Note: The speed limit information provided
by the navigation map data may be
inaccurate or out of date.
See Navigation
(page 487).
Note: The system alerts you if the set speed
increases beyond the speed limit.
See
Adaptive Cruise Control Indicators (page
276).
If the system does not detect a speed limit,
the vehicle speed remains at the current set
speed. You can override the set speed at any time.
You may need to override or cancel the
system in certain situations such as inclement
weather or if an incorrect speed is set.
Note:
The system may not detect and read
speed limit signs with conditional
information, for example, when a sign is
flashing, during specific time ranges, or when
children are present.
Note: Under certain conditions, the system
may not adjust the vehicle speed until after
your vehicle passes the speed limit sign.
