WHAT IS CRUISE CONTROL

Cruise control lets you maintain a set

speed without keeping your foot on the

accelerator pedal.

SETTING THE CRUISE

CONTROL SPEED

WARNING: When you are going

downhill, your vehicle speed could

increase above the set speed. The

system does not apply the brakes.

Requirements

Use cruise control when the vehicle speed

is greater than 30 km/h (20 mph).

Drive to the speed you prefer.

SWITCHINGCRUISECONTROL

WARNING: Do not use cruise

control on winding roads, in heavy traffic

or when the road surface is slippery. This

could result in loss of vehicle control,

serious injury or death.

Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

Note: The indicator changes color in the

information display.

HOWDOESADAPTIVECRUISE

WHAT IS INTELLIGENT

CONTROL WORK

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Adaptive cruise control uses a radar sensor

to adjust your vehicle speed to maintain a

set gap between you and the vehicle in

front of you in the same lane.

Intelligent adaptive cruise control

combines speed sign recognition with

adaptive cruise control to adjust the cruise

set speed to the speed limit detected by

the speed sign recognition system. For

example, if the speed sign recognition

system detects a 80 km/h (50 mph)

speed limit, the cruise set speed is updated

to 80 km/h (50 mph) +/- the driver's

selected speed offset.

HOWDOESADAPTIVECRUISE

CONTROLWITHSTOPANDGO

WORK

Adaptive cruise control with stop and go

uses radar and camera sensors to adjust

the speed of your vehicle to maintain a set

gap from the vehicle in front of you in the

same lane while following it to a complete

stop. You can also engage the system to

follow a vehicle in front of you and adjust

set speed while stopped.

Note: The adaptive cruise control gap

setting operates normally.

CENTERING

Adaptive cruise control precautions apply

to lane centering unless stated otherwise

or contradicted by a lane centering

precaution. See Adaptive Cruise Control

Precautions (page 271).

WHAT IS ADAPTIVE CRUISE

CONTROL WITH LANE

CENTERING

Adaptive cruise control with lane centering

uses radar and camera sensors to help

keep your vehicle in the lane by applying

continuous assistance steering torque

input toward the lane center on highways.

WARNING: Do not use the system

when towing a trailer. Failure to follow

this instruction could result in the loss of

control of your vehicle, personal injury or

death.

Note: The adaptive cruise control gap

setting operates normally.

WARNING: Do not use the system

if any changes or modifications to the

steering wheel have been made. Any

changes or modifications to the steering

wheel could affect the functionality or

performance of the system. Failure to

follow this instruction could result in the

loss of control of your vehicle, personal

injury or death.

with a snow plow blade installed.

WARNING: Do not use the system

in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy

rain, spray or snow.

When Following a Vehicle

WARNING: Pay close attention to

changing road conditions such as

entering or leaving a highway, on roads

with intersections or roundabouts, roads

without visible lanes of travel, roads that

are winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep

slopes.

WARNING: When following a

vehicle that is braking, your vehicle does

not always decelerate quickly enough to

avoid a crash without driver intervention.

Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure

to follow this instruction could result in

personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system does not

control speed in low traction conditions

or extremely steep slopes. The system

is designed to be an aid and does not

relieve you of your responsibility to drive

with due care and attention. Failure to

follow this instruction could result in

personal injury.

Hilly Condition Usage

You should select a lower gear when the

system is active in situations such as

prolonged downhill driving on steep

grades, for example in mountainous areas.

The system needs additional engine

braking in these situations to reduce the

load on the vehicle’s regular brake system

to prevent it from overheating.

WARNING: The system is not a

crash warning or avoidance system.

Note: An audible alarm sounds and the

system shuts down if it applies brakes for

an extended period of time. This allows the

brakes to cool. The system functions

normally again after the brakes cool.

WARNING: Do not use the system

when towing a trailer that has

aftermarket electronic trailer brake

controls. Failure to follow this instruction

could result in the loss of control of your

vehicle, personal injury or death.

Adaptive cruise control limitations apply

to lane centering unless stated otherwise

or contradicted by a lane centering

limitation. See Adaptive Cruise Control

Limitations (page 272).

Sensor Limitations

WARNING: On rare occasions,

detection issues can occur due to the

road infrastructures, for example bridges,

tunnels and safety barriers. In these

cases, the system may brake late or

unexpectedly. At all times, you are

responsible for controlling your vehicle,

supervising the system and intervening,

if required.

The system may not correctly operate in

any of the following conditions:

•

The lane is too narrow or wide.

The system does not detect at least

one lane marking or when lanes merge

or split.

•

Limited steering torque input is applied.

WARNING: If the system

malfunctions, have your vehicle checked

as soon as possible.

Areas under construction or new

infrastructure.

•

When modifications to the steering

system have been made.

When using a spare tire.

WARNING: Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor

performance.

Note: The driving assistance torque is

limited and may not be sufficient for all

driving situations such as driving through

tight curves or driving through curves at high

speeds.

WARNING: The system only warns

of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.

In some cases there may be no warning

or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes

when necessary. Failure to follow this

instruction could result in personal injury

or death.

Note: In exceptional conditions, the system

may deviate from the center line.

WARNING: The system may not

detect stationary or slow moving

vehicles below 10 km/h (6 mph).

WARNING: The system does not

detect pedestrians or objects in the road.

WARNING: The system does not

detect oncoming vehicles in the same

lane.

Adaptive Cruise Control ^{(If Equipped)}

Note: Keep the front of your vehicle free of

dirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle front

protectors, aftermarket lights, additional

paint or plastic coatings could also degrade

sensor performance.

WARNING: The system may not

operate properly if the sensor is blocked.

Keep the windshield free from

obstruction.

A message displays if something obstructs

the camera or the sensor. When something

blocks the sensor, the system cannot

detect a vehicle ahead and does not

function. See Adaptive Cruise Control

– Information Messages (page 285).

WARNING: The sensor may

incorrectly track lane markings as other

structures or objects. This can result in

a false or missed warning.

The radar sensor has a limited field of view.

It may not detect vehicles at all or detect

a vehicle later than expected in some

situations. The lead vehicle image does

not illuminate if the system does not

detect a vehicle in front of you.

When the system is active and detects no

steering activity for a certain period of time,

the system alerts you to put your hands on

the warnings the system cancels and slows

your vehicle down to idle speeds while

The system also alerts you if your vehicle

Activating Lane Centering

The system only activates when all of the

•

Your hands are on the steering wheel

Note: The system may detect a light grip

or touch on the steering wheel as hands-off

driving.

•

The system detects both lane

markings.

Note: If it does not detect valid lane

markings, the system stays inactive until

valid markings are available.

When the system cancels due to an

external condition, for example, no lane

markings are available and your hands are

on the steering wheel, a tone sounds and

a message appears in the information

display.

When the system cancels due to an

external condition, for example, no lane
