SPEED CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
When engaged, the Speed Control takes over

The Speed Control lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.

NOTE:
In order to ensure proper operation, the Speed
Control system has been designed to shut down
if multiple Speed Control functions are operated
at the same time. If this occurs, the Speed
Control system can be reactivated by rotating
the Speed Control ON/OFF center ring and
resetting the desired vehicle set speed.
To Activate
Rotate the center ring upward on the Speed
Control lever to turn the system on. The Cruise
Indicator Light in the instrument cluster display
will illuminate. To turn the system off, rotate the
center ring upward a second time. The Cruise
Indicator Light will turn off. The system should
be turned off when not in use.
To Set A Desired Speed
Turn the Speed Control on. When the vehicle
has reached the desired speed, move the
Speed Control lever upward SET (+) and
release. Release the accelerator and the
vehicle will operate at the selected speed.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a steady
speed and on level ground before moving the
Speed Control lever upward SET (+).
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Speed
When the Speed Control is set, you can increase
speed by tapping the Speed Control lever up
SET (+).
The driver's preferred units can be selected
through the radio settings (if equipped). Refer to
”Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for more
information. The speed increment shown is
dependent on the chosen speed unit of U.S.
(mph) or Metric (km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
Tapping the Speed Control lever up SET (+)
once will result in a 1 mph increase in set
speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever
results in an increase of 1 mph.
If the lever is continually held up, the set
speed will continue to increase until the lever
is released, then the new set speed will be
established.
WARNING!
Leaving the Speed Control system on when
not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to go
faster than you want. You could lose control
and have an accident. Always leave the
system off when you are not using it.
