When the ESC (or ABS or other stability
control systems) are operating or have just
operated
When the ESC system is off
When the Forward Collision Warning system
(if equipped) is braking automatically
In the event of system failure
When the engine is off
In case of obstruction of the radar sensor (in
this case the bumper area where it is
located must be cleaned)
If the system is set, the conditions described
above also cause a cancellation or deactiva
-
tion of the system. These situations may vary
according to the conditions.
NOTE:
The system will not be deactivated when
speeds higher than those set are reached by
pressing the accelerator pedal above
100 mph (160 km/h). In these situations, the
system may not work correctly and it is recom
-
mended to deactivate it.
To Vary The Speed Setting
Increasing Speed
Once the Speed Control has been activated,
the speed can be increased by pushing the
RES/SET switch upward.
Pushing the switch upward to the first detent
will increase speed in 1 mph (1 km/h) incre
-
ments. Pushing the switch upward to the
second detent will increase speed by 5 mph
(10 km/h) increments. The new speed will
then be set.
Decreasing Speed
When the system is active, to reduce the
speed, push the RES/SET switch downward.
Pushing the switch downward to the first
detent will decrease speed in 1 mph (1 km/h)
increments. Pushing the switch downward to
the second detent will decrease speed by
5 mph (10 km/h) increments. The new speed
will then be set.
NOTE:
Moving the RES/SET switch downward
allows you to adjust the speed according to
the selected unit of measurement ("U.S." or
"Metric") set on the radio system (see dedi
-
cated supplement).
By keeping the accelerator pedal
depressed, the vehicle can continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. In this
case, use the RES/SET switch to set the
speed to the vehicle’s current speed.
When you push the RES/SET button to
reduce the speed, the braking system inter
-
venes automatically if the engine brake
does not slow the vehicle down sufficiently
to reach the set speed. The device holds the
set speed uphill and downhill; however a
slight variation is entirely normal, particu
-
larly on slight inclines.
The transmission could change to a lower
gear when driving downhill, or when acceler
-
ating. This is normal and necessary to main
-
tain the set speed.
The system will disable while driving if the
brakes overheat.
Accelerating When Overtaking
When driving with ACC activated and following
a vehicle at a speed greater than 45 mph
(70 km/h), the system will provide an addi
-
tional acceleration up to the ACC set speed to
assist in passing the vehicle. This additional
acceleration is triggered when the driver
utilizes the left turn signal and will only be
active when passing on the left-hand side.
The system detects the direction of traffic
automatically when the vehicle passes from
left-hand traffic to right-hand traffic. In this
case, the overtaking assist function is only
active when the reference vehicle is overtaken
on the right. The additional acceleration is
deactivated when the driver uses the right turn
signal and returns to the original lane.
