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.
With the Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
the system may begin to limit wheel spin
while you are using cruise control. If this
happens, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability Control 0 209.
If a collision alert occurs when cruise control
is activated, cruise control is disengaged. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 228.
When road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, cruise control can be turned
back on.
Cruise control will disengage if either TCS or
StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off.
If the brakes are applied, cruise control
disengages.
5 : Press to turn the cruise control system
on and off. A white indicator comes on in
the instrument cluster when cruise is
turned on.
* : Press to disengage cruise control
without erasing the set speed from memory.
+RES : If there is a set speed in memory,
press briefly to resume that speed or press
and hold to accelerate. If cruise control is
already active, use to increase vehicle speed.
−SET : Press briefly to set the speed and
activate cruise control. If cruise control is
already active, use to decrease vehicle
speed.
Setting Cruise Control
If
5 is on when not in use, -SET or +RES
could get bumped and go into cruise when
not desired. Keep
5 off when cruise is not
being used.
To set a speed:
1. Press
5 to turn the cruise system on.
2. Get up to the desired speed.
3. Press and release -SET. The desired set
speed briefly appears in the instrument
cluster.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control indicator on the
instrument cluster turns green after cruise
control has been set to the desired speed.
