Cruise Control Operation
NOTE: For a complete illustration of the adaptive cruise control indicators and graphic displays, refer to the Owner's Literature.
The adaptive cruise control system functions much like a standard cruise control system. The adaptive cruise control system automatically adjusts the vehicle speed to maintain a set distance gap from the front of the vehicle and the vehicle in the same path of travel. When the adaptive cruise control system is on and is following a vehicle or a vehicle enters the same driving lane, a follow vehicle graphic is displayed in the message center.
The adaptive cruise control system does not function if the vehicle speed is below 20 km/h (12 mph). As the vehicle slows down during automatic braking, the adaptive cruise control system discontinues braking at 20 km/h (12 mph). At that speed, an audible alarm sounds and the automatic braking from the ABS module is released. The driver must take over the vehicle braking control.
