Increasing Set Speed While Using Adaptive
Cruise Control
There are two ways to increase the set speed:
•
Use the accelerator to get to the higher speed.
Press
T
at the end of the lever, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle
will now cruise at the higher speed.
•
Move the Adaptive Cruise Control switch from
R
to
S
. Hold it there until the desired set speed is
displayed in the HUD, then release the switch.
To increase the set speed in small amounts, move
the switch briefly to resume/increase. Each time this
is done, the vehicle set speed increases by about
1 mph (1.6 km/h).
Your vehicle will not reach the set speed until the
system determines there is no vehicle in front of you.
At that point, your vehicle speed will increase to the
set speed.
Decreasing Set Speed While Using
Adaptive Cruise Control
Press
T
at the end of the lever until the lower speed
desired is reached, then release the button.
To slow down in small amounts, briefly press
T
.
Each this is done, the set speed will be 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
slower.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the brakes are applied while the Adaptive Cruise
Control is at a set speed, this disengages the Adaptive
Cruise Control. But it does not need to be reset.
Once the vehicle reaches about 30 mph (48 km/h)
or more, move the Adaptive Cruise Control switch briefly
from
R
to
S
. Adaptive Cruise Control will be engaged
with the speed previously selected.
