at a stop and there is
another vehicle directly
ahead, pressing RES+ will
increase the set speed.
.Pressing RES+ when there is
no longer a vehicle ahead or
the vehicle ahead is pulling
away and the brake is not
applied will cause the ACC to
resume.
When it is determined there is
no vehicle ahead or the vehicle
ahead is beyond the selected
following gap, then the vehicle
speed will increase to the set
speed.
The speedometer reading can
be displayed in either English
or metric units. See
Instrument Cluster 0122. The

Reducing Speed While ACC is
at a Set Speed
If ACC is already activated, do
one of the following:
.Use the brake to get to the
desired lower speed.
Release the brake and press
SET–. The vehicle will now
cruise at the lower speed.
.Press and hold SET– until
the desired lower speed is
displayed, then release it.
.To decrease speed in
smaller increments, press
SET− to the first detent. For
each press, the vehicle goes
1 km/h (1 mph) slower.
.To decrease speed in larger
increments, press SET− to
the second detent. For each
press, the vehicle speed
decreases to the next
5 km/h (5 mph) mark on the
speedometer.
The set speed can also be
decreased while the vehicle is
stopped.

the front, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse
five times. Touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select “Vehicle”to

previously in this section.
Always consider driving
conditions before using either
cruise control system. Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a following
gap behind a detected vehicle
and slow your vehicle to a
stop behind that vehicle.
If the stopped vehicle ahead
has driven away and ACC has
not resumed, the vehicle
