When you override the system,
the green indicator light
illuminates and the lead vehicle
graphic does not show in the

information display.

The system will resume operation when
you release the accelerator pedal. The
vehicle speed will decrease to the set
speed, or a lower speed if following a
slower vehicle.

Changing the Set Speed

Accelerate or brake to your desired
speed, then press and release SET+.

Press and hold SET+ or SET- until the
desired set speed shows on the
information display. The vehicle speed
gradually changes to the selected
speed.

Press and release SET+ or SET-. The
set speed changes in approximately 1
mph (2 km/h) increments.

The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed displays continuously in the
information display while the system is
active.

Resuming the Set Speed

Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.

Press and release RES. The vehicle returns
to the previously set speed. The set speed
displays continuously in the information
display while the system is active.

Low Speed Automatic
Cancellation

The system is not functional at vehicle
speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h). An
audible alarm sounds and automatic
braking releases if the vehicle drops below
this speed.

Hilly Condition Usage

Note: An audible alarm sounds and the
system shuts down when it applies brakes
for an extended period of time. This allows
the brakes to cool. The system functions
normally after the brakes have cooled.

You should select a lower gear position
when the system is active in situations
such as prolonged downhill driving on
steep grades, for example in mountainous
areas. The system needs additional engine
braking in these situations to reduce the
load on the vehicle’s regular brake system
to prevent them from overheating.

Switching the System Off

Note: The set speed memory erases when
you switch off the system.

Press and release OFF or switch off the
ignition.

Detection Issues

The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. It may not detect vehicles at all or
may detect a vehicle later than expected
in some situations. The lead vehicle graphic
will not illuminate if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you.
