When traveling downhill with the system active,
the vehicle speed may slightly exceed the set one.

NOTE:
Before pushing the SET switch, the vehicle must
be traveling at a constant speed on a flat surface.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
When the Cruise Control is set, you can increase
the speed by pushing the SET switch upward or
decrease the speed by pushing the SET switch
downward.
U.S. Speed (mph)
Pushing the SET switch once will result in a
1 mph speed adjustment. Each subsequent
movement of the switch results in an
adjustment of 1 mph.
If the switch is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to adjust until the switch is
released, then the new set speed will be
established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
Pushing the SET switch once will result in a
1 km/h speed adjustment. Each subsequent
movement of the switch results in an
adjustment of 1 km/h.
If the switch is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to adjust until the switch is
released, then the new set speed will be
established.

NOTE:
Moving the SET switch allows for adjusting of the
speed according to the selected unit of measure -
ment set on the radio system. Refer to the Infor -
mation and Entertainment System Owner’s
Manual for more information.
To Accelerate For Passing
While the Cruise Control is set, press the
accelerator to pass as you would normally. When
the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the
set speed.
Using Cruise Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal. On steep hills, a greater
speed loss or gain may occur so it may be
preferable to drive without Cruise Control.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES
button and release. Resume can be used at any
speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).

NOTE:
Before resuming the previously set speed, you
must accelerate to a speed close to that speed. Resume Button Location
In AutoStick (sequential) mode, before resuming
the previously set speed, you should accelerate
until you are close to that speed. Then, push and
release the RES button.
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal deactivates the Cruise
Control without deleting the set speed.
The Cruise Control may also be deactivated by
applying the Electric Park Brake or when the
braking system is operated (e.g. operation of the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system).
The set speed is deleted in the following cases:
Pushing the on/off button a second time
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
If there is a malfunction with the Cruise Control
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a driver
assist system that combines the Cruise Control
functions with controlling the distance from the
vehicle ahead. ACC increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while
traveling on highways and major roadways.
WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control in
heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.

it to activate the system. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will maintain the set speed
automatically.SET Switch
While the accelerator pedal is pressed, the
system will not be able to control the distance
between the vehicle and the one ahead. In this
case, the speed will be determined only by the
position of the accelerator pedal.
The system will return to normal operation as
soon as the accelerator pedal is released.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
Once the system has been activated, you can
increase the speed by pushing the RES/SET
switch upward or decrease the speed by pushing
the RES/SET switch downward. Each time the
switch is pushed, the speed is adjusted by 1 mph.
Pushing and holding the switch upward or
downward will cause the set speed to adjust in
5 mph increments until the button is released.
The new set speed is reflected in the instrument
cluster display.

NOTE:

Moving the RES/SET switch downward allows
you to adjust the speed according to the
selected unit of measurement ("U.S." or
"Metric") set on the radio system. Refer to the
Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual Supplement for further
information.
When the unit of measurement is set to Metric,
pushing and holding the RES/SET switch will
adjust the speed in 10 km/h increments.
By keeping the accelerator pedal pressed, the
vehicle can continue to accelerate beyond the
set speed. In this case, use the RES/SET
switch to set the speed to the vehicle’s current
speed.
When you push the RES/SET button to reduce
the speed, the braking system intervenes
automatically if the engine brake does not
slow the vehicle down sufficiently to reach the
set speed. The device holds the set speed
uphill and downhill; however a slight variation
is entirely normal, particularly on slight
inclines.
The transmission could shift to a lower gear
when driving downhill, or when accelerating.
This is normal and necessary to maintain the
set speed.
The system will disable while driving if the
brakes overheat.
WARNING!
Leaving the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system on when not in use is dangerous. You
could accidentally set the system or cause it to
go faster than you want. You could lose control
and have a collision. Always leave the system
off when you are not using it.

TRAFFIC JAM ASSIST (TJA)
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) system can be
activated on all road types. The system uses a camera to detect lane markings and keep the
vehicle in the center of the lane.
When the system is unable to detect lane
markings, it will still operate using surrounding
traffic. This can occur in congested traffic
scenarios, when the vehicles ahead or
surrounding obstruct the visibility of the lane
markings. When the speed is below 12 mph
(20 km/h), the system can use a lock-on strategy
that allows the vehicle to automatically follow the
vehicle ahead.
The TJA system combines Adaptive Cruise Control
