STARTING AND OPERATING

Metric Speed (km/h)
Tapping the Speed Control lever up SET (+)
once will result in a 1 km/h increase in set
speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever
results in an increase of 1 km/h.
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.
To Decrease Speed
When the Speed Control is set, you can
decrease speed by tapping the Speed Control
lever down (-).
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 decrement 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 down (-)
once will result in a 1 mph decrease in set
speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever
results in a decrease of 1 mph.
If the lever is continually held down, the set
speed will continue to decrease until the
lever is released, then the new set speed will
be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
Tapping the Speed Control lever down (-)
once will result in a 1 km/h decrease in set
speed. Each subsequent tap of the lever
results in a decrease of 1 km/h.
If the lever is continually held down, the set
speed will continue to decrease until the
lever is released, then the new set speed will
be established.
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the set speed.
Using Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Speed Control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may
occur so it may be preferable to drive without
Speed Control.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES
button and release. Resume can be used at any
speed above 20 mph (32 km/h) up to the
maximum speed of 100 mph (160 km/h).
To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the RES
button, or normal brake pressure while slowing
the vehicle will deactivate Speed Control
without erasing the set speed memory. Rotating
the center ring upward to turn the system off or
placing the ignition in the STOP (OFF/LOCK)
position erases the set speed memory.
WARNING!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Speed Control
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding,
icy, snow-covered or slippery.
