USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.
The system adjusts the 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.
WARNING: Pay close attention to
changing road conditions such as
entering or leaving a highway, on roads
with intersections or roundabouts, roads
without visible lanes of travel, roads that
are winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep
slopes.
The system uses a radar that projects a
beam directly in front of your vehicle.
WARNING: The system may not
detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below 10 km/h (6 mph).
WARNING: Do not use the system
when towing a trailer that has
aftermarket electronic trailer brake
controls. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

Following a Vehicle
WARNING: When following a
vehicle that is braking, your vehicle does
not always decelerate quickly enough to
avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
E260516
The indicator, current gap setting and set
speed appear in the information display.
WARNING: The system only warns
of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speed
Drive to the required speed.
Press the toggle button upward
to set the current speed.
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 appears in the information
display.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
The indicator, current gap setting and set
speed appear in the information display.
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.
A vehicle graphic appears in the
information display if the system detects
a vehicle 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.
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.
If the system determines that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient, an audible
warning sounds when the system
continues to brake. Take immediate action.

Setting the Gap Distance
You can decrease or increase the
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front by
pressing the gap control.

Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions.

Changing the Set Speed
When you switch the ignition on, the
system selects the last chosen gap setting.
Press the toggle button upward
to increase the set speed.
Overriding the System
Press the toggle button
downward to decrease 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.
You can adjust the set speed in small or
large increments. Press the toggle button
upward or downward once to adjust the
set speed in small increments. Press and
hold the toggle button upward or
downward to adjust the set speed in large
increments.
Use the accelerator pedal to intentionally
exceed the set speed limit.
When you override the system, the vehicle
graphic disappears from the information
display.

your vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed continuously displays in the
information display when the system is
active.
Select a lower gear when the system is
active and you are driving downhill on
steep grades, for example in mountainous
areas. The system needs additional engine
braking in these situations to reduce the
load on the brake system to prevent it from
overheating.
Note: A tone sounds and the system turns
off if it applies brakes for an extended period
of time. This allows the brakes to cool. The
system operates after the brakes cool.
Canceling the Set Speed
Press the button, or tap the
brake pedal.
The last set speed displays with a
strikethrough and the last gap setting
appears but does not erase.
Note: The set speed also cancels if you
press the clutch pedal for an extended
period.

switch the system off.
Detection Issues
The vehicle speed returns to the previously
set speed and gap setting. The set speed
continuously shows in the information
display when the system is active.
WARNING: 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.
Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.
Automatic Cancellation
The system does not operate if the vehicle
speed is below 20 km/h (12 mph). A tone
sounds and adaptive braking releases if
the vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h
(12 mph).
WARNING: If the system
malfunctions, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
Automatic cancellation can also occur
when:
The radar has a limited field of view. It does
not detect all vehicles in all situations and
could detect vehicles later that you expect.
The lead vehicle graphic does not display
if the system does not detect a vehicle in
front of you.

Switching Between the Cruise
Control Modes
You can change between the cruise control
modes using the information display.
The system combines speed sign
recognition with adaptive cruise control.
The system allows you to set the vehicle
speed to the speed limit detected by the
speed sign recognition system. For
example, if the speed sign recognition
system detects a 80 km/h (50 mph)
speed limit, the vehicle speed is set to
80 km/h (50 mph).
To switch between the cruise control modes, use the information display controls
on the steering wheel to select the following:

Under certain conditions, the system may
not adjust the vehicle speed until after your
vehicle passes the speed limit sign.
