Driving and Operating 247
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
Do one of the following:
.Press and hold +RES up until the desired
speed is reached, then release it.
.To increase vehicle speed in small
increments, press +RES up briefly. For
each press, the vehicle goes about 1 km/h
(1 mph) faster.
The speedometer reading can be displayed
in either English or metric units. See
Instrument Cluster (Base Level) 0106 or
Instrument Cluster (Uplevel) 0107. The
increment value used depends on the units
displayed.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
Do one of the following:
.Press and hold SET– down until the
desired lower speed is reached, then
release it.
.To slow down in small increments, press
SET– down briefly. For each press, the
vehicle goes about 1 km/h (1 mph) slower.
The speedometer reading can be displayed
in either English or metric units. See
Instrument Cluster (Base Level) 0106 or Instrument Cluster (Uplevel)
0107. The
increment value used depends on the units
displayed.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise
Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the
vehicle speed. When you take your foot off
the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the
previously set cruise speed. While pressing
the accelerator pedal or shortly following
the release to override cruise control, briefly
pressing SET– will result in cruise control set
to the current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills
depends on the vehicle speed, the load, and
the steepness of the hills. When going up
steep hills, pressing the accelerator pedal
may be necessary to maintain vehicle speed.
While going downhill, cruise braking helps
maintain driver selected speed.
Cruise Grade Braking is enabled when the
vehicle is started and cruise control is active.
It is not enabled in Range Selection Mode.
It assists in maintaining driver selected
speed when driving on downhill grades by
using the engine and transmission to slow
the vehicle. For other forms of descent control, see
Hill
Descent Control (HDC) 0239, Automatic
Transmission (Electronic Shifter) 0223 or
Automatic Transmission (Mechanical Shifter)
0 220, and Tow/Haul Mode 0229.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise control:
.Step lightly on the brake pedal.
.Press*.
.Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
.To turn off cruise control, press5.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if
5is pressed or the ignition is
turned off.
Adaptive Cruise Control (Camera)
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set speed and
following gap to be selected. Read this
entire section before using this system. The
following gap is the following time between
your vehicle and a vehicle detected directly
ahead in your path, moving in the same
direction. If no vehicle is detected in your
