Cruise Control
Cruise control allows the vehicle to maintain a set speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) or more without active acceleration. Cruise control
does not work at speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph).
Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. Do not use cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
Cruise control will disengage if:
- The Traction Control System (TCS) or StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system begins to limit wheel spin.
- TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off.
- A collision alert occurs. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 220. - The brakes are applied.
When road conditions allow for cruise control to be safely used, cruise control can be turned on again.
Press to turn cruise control on or off.
A white indicator light is displayed in the instrument cluster when cruise control is turned on.
+RES : If cruise control is already engaged, press the thumbwheel up to increase the set speed. If there is a set speed in memory, press up briefly to engage cruise control at the previous set speed, or press up and hold to increase the set cruise speed.
SET− : If cruise control is already on, briefly press the thumbwheel down to set the cruise speed and engage cruise control.
If cruise control is already engaged, press down to decrease the set cruise speed.
Press to disengage cruise control without erasing the set speed from memory.
Setting Cruise Control
If cruise control is on but is not engaged, the thumbwheel could get pressed to SET− or +RES and engage cruise control when not desired. Keep cruise control off when it is not being used. Press 5 to turn off cruise control.
To set a cruise speed:
- Press 5.
- Accelerate to the desired cruise speed.
- Briefly press and release the thumbwheel
down to SET− . - Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
When cruise control has been set to the desired speed, the cruise control indicator light turns green and a cruise set speed message is displayed briefly in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See Instrument Cluster (Uplevel) or
Instrument Cluster (Base Level)
Resuming a Set Speed
If cruise control is engaged and then the brakes are applied or * is pressed, cruise control is disengaged without erasing the set speed from memory.
Once the vehicle reaches about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more, briefly press the thumbwheel up to +RES and release. The vehicle returns to the previous set cruise speed.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
If cruise control is already engaged:
- Press and hold the thumbwheel up to
+RES until the vehicle accelerates to the
desired speed, then release it. - To increase the vehicle speed in small
increments, briefly press and release the
thumbwheel up to +RES. For each press,
the vehicle speed increases by about 1 km/h (1 mph).
The speedometer reading is displayed using
either English or metric units. See Instrument Cluster (Uplevel) or
Instrument Cluster (Base Level) . The increment value used depends on the units displayed.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
If cruise control is already engaged:
- Press and hold the thumbwheel down to SET− until the desired lower speed is reached, then release it.
- To decrease the vehicle speed in small increments, briefly press and release the thumbwheel down to SET−. For each press, the vehicle speed decreases by about 1 km/h (1 mph).
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise
Control
To pass another vehicle while cruise control is engaged, use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed. When you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the
previously set cruise speed. While pressing the accelerator pedal or shortly following the release to override cruise control, briefly pressing the thumbwheel down to SET− will result in the cruise speed being set to the current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well cruise control works on a hill depends on the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the hill. When driving up a steep hill, you may need to apply the accelerator pedal to maintain the cruise
speed. When driving down a steep hill, you may need to apply the brake pedal or shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle speed
down. If the brake pedal is applied, cruise control will disengage.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise control:
- Lightly apply the brake pedal.
- Press
- Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
- Press5.
- Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if 5 is pressed or the ignition is
turned off.
Adaptive Cruise Control (Advanced)
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) allows the cruise control set speed and following gap to be selected. Read this entire section before using this system. The following gap is the following time or distance, between your vehicle and a vehicle detected directly ahead in your path, moving in the same direction. If no vehicle is detected in your path, ACC works like regular cruise control. ACC uses camera and radar sensors
If a vehicle is detected in your path, ACC can apply acceleration or limited, moderate braking to maintain the selected following gap. To disengage ACC, apply the brake pedal. If ACC is controlling your vehicle speed when the Traction Control System (TCS) or StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system activates, the ACC may automatically disengage. See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control. When road conditions allow ACC to be safely used, the ACC can be turned back on.
Turning off the TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC system disengages ACC. ACC will remain disabled until the TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC system is turned on.
ACC can reduce the need for you to frequently brake and accelerate, especially when used on expressways, freeways, and interstate highways. When used on other roads, you may need to take over the control of braking or acceleration more often.
While ACC is braking, the Antilock Brake System (ABS) may be felt or heard. Hearing and feeling the ABS operate is normal.
Warning
ACC has limited braking ability and may not have time to slow the vehicle down enough to avoid a collision with another vehicle you are following. This can occur when vehicles suddenly slow or stop ahead, or enter your lane. Also see “Alerting the Driver” in this section. Complete attention is always required while driving and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes.
Warning
ACC will not detect or brake for children, pedestrians, animals, or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
- On winding and hilly roads or when the sensors are blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. The system may not detect a vehicle ahead. Keep the entire front of the vehicle clean.
- Visibility is low, such as in fog, rain, or snow conditions. ACC performance is limited under these conditions.
- On slippery roads where fast changes in tire traction can cause excessive wheel slip.
FAQs
The vehicle can automatically adjust its speed without constant accelerator input thanks to the Cruise Control System, which maintains a preset speed chosen by the driver.
Yes, the system is made to react to traffic conditions and change speed accordingly. Within predetermined bounds, it can accelerate or decelerate.
When braking, acceleration, or other safety systems are engaged, automatic disengagement is one of the safety features.
In order to ensure optimal performance, the system does, in fact, typically activate at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).
For safety reasons, it is advised to stay off of the cruise control during inclement weather, such as persistent rain, snow, or ice.
Once you reach the desired speed, you can activate it by pressing the Cruise Control button on the steering wheel.
