WARNING: Do not use the adaptive cruise control when
entering or leaving a highway, in heavy traffic or on roads that

are winding, slippery or unpaved.

WARNING: Do not use in poor visibility, specifically fog, rain,
spray or snow.

Note: It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control
of your vehicle at all times.

The system adjusts your speed to maintain a proper distance between
you and the vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You can select from
one of four GAP settings. The controls are located on the steering wheel.

At startup, the system sets the gap to the last selected setting. Once
activated, you can deactivate the system at any time by pressing the
brake pedal, pressing the steering wheel OFF control or pressing the
CNCL control. In addition, you can temporarily increase the vehicle
speed above the current speed by manually pressing on the accelerator
pedal.

The controls for using your cruise
control are located on the steering
wheel.
