WARNING   WARNING:  You are responsible for controlling your vehicle at all times. 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 the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING   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   WARNING:  The system may not detect stationary or slow moving vehicles below 10 km/h (6 mph).
WARNING   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.
WARNING   WARNING:  The system is not a crash warning or avoidance system.
WARNING   WARNING:  The system does not detect pedestrians or objects in the road.
WARNING   WARNING:  The system does not detect oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not use the system in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy rain, spray or snow.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended because this can affect the normal operation of the system. Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control, which could result in serious injury.

The system adjusts the vehicle speed to maintain the set gap between you and the vehicle in front of you in the same lane.  You can select four gap settings.
The system uses a radar that projects a beam directly in front of your vehicle.

Note:   When adaptive cruise control is active, the speedometer may vary slightly from the set speed displayed in the information display.
Following a Vehicle
WARNING   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   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.

 When a vehicle ahead of you enters the same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to maintain a preset gap distance.A vehicle graphic appears in the information display.
Note:   When you are following a vehicle and you switch on a direction indicator, adaptive cruise control may provide a small temporary acceleration to help you pass.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap from the vehicle ahead until:
  • The vehicle in front of you accelerates to a speed above the set speed.
  • The vehicle in front of you moves out of the lane you are in.
  • You set a new gap distance.
 The system applies the brakes to slow your vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance from the vehicle in front. The system only applies limited braking. You can override the system by applying the brakes.
If the system determines that its maximum braking level is not sufficient, an audible warning sounds when the system continues to brake. Take immediate action.
Note:   The brakes may emit noise when applied by the system.
Setting the Gap Distance
Adaptive Cruise Control - Gap Control Icon  You can decrease or increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front by pressing the gap control.
Note:   It is your responsibility to select a gap appropriate to the driving conditions.
Adaptive Cruise Control Gap Indicator

When you switch the ignition on, the system selects the last chosen gap setting.
Overriding the System
WARNING   WARNING:  If you override the system by pressing the accelerator pedal, it does not automatically apply the brakes to maintain a gap from any vehicle ahead.

Use the accelerator pedal to intentionally exceed the set speed limit.
When you override the system, the vehicle graphic disappears from the information display.
Changing the Set Speed
Cruise Control SET+ Button  Press the toggle button upward to increase the set speed.Cruise control SET Button  Press the toggle button downward to decrease the set speed.
You can adjust the set speed in small or large increments. Press the toggle button upward or downward once to adjust the set speed in small increments. Press and hold the toggle button upward or downward to adjust the set speed in large increments.
The system may apply the brakes to slow your vehicle to the new set speed. The set speed continuously displays in the information display when the system is active.
Canceling the Set Speed
Cruise Control CAN Button  Press the button, or tap the brake pedal.
The last set speed displays with a strikethrough and the last gap setting appears but does not erase.
Note:   The set speed also cancels if you press the clutch pedal for an extended period.

Cruise Control Reset Button  Press the button.
The vehicle speed returns to the previously set speed and gap setting. The set speed continuously shows in the information display when the system is active.
Note:   Only use resume if you are aware of the set speed and intend to return to it.
Automatic Cancellation
The system does not operate if the vehicle speed is below 20 km/h (12 mph). A tone sounds and adaptive braking releases if the vehicle speed falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).
Automatic cancellation can also occur when:
  • The tires lose traction.
  • The engine speed is too low.
  • You apply the parking brake.
Note:   If the engine speed drops too low, the information display advises you to shift to a lower gear.
Hilly Condition Usage
Select a lower gear when the system is active and you are driving downhill on steep grades, for example in mountainous areas. The system needs additional engine braking in these situations to reduce the load on the brake system to prevent it from overheating.
Note:   A tone sounds and the system turns off if it applies brakes for an extended period of time. This allows the brakes to cool. The system operates after the brakes cool.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control Off
Adaptive Cruise Control Warning Light  Press the button.
Note:   The set speed erases when you switch the system off.
Detection Issues
WARNING   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.
WARNING   WARNING:  If the system malfunctions, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

The radar has a limited field of view. It does not detect all vehicles in all situations and could detect vehicles later that you expect. The lead vehicle graphic does not display if the system does not detect a vehicle in front of you.
Adaptive Cruise Control - Detection Issues
Detection issues can occur:
AWhen driving on a different line than the vehicle in front.
BWith vehicles that edge into your lane. The system can only detect these vehicles once they fully move into your lane.
CThere may be issues with the detection of vehicles in front when driving into and coming out of a bend or curve in the road.
In these cases, the system may brake late or unexpectedly. You should stay alert and take action when necessary.
If something hits the front of your vehicle or damage occurs, the radar-sensing zone may change.This could cause the system to malfunction. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
System Not Available
The system may not turn on if there is:
  • A blocked sensor.
  • High brake temperature.
  • A failure in the system or a related system.
Adaptive Cruise Control System Sensors
WARNING   WARNING:  The system may not operate properly if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield free from obstruction.

Windshield Mounted Camera
The camera is mounted behind the interior mirror.
Radar Sensor
The radar is behind the front grille below the license plate.
 A message displays if something obstructs the radar signals from the sensor. The system cannot detect a vehicle ahead and does not function when something blocks the sensor.
Note:   You cannot see the sensor, it is behind a fascia panel.
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.

Cause   Action  
The surface of the radar in the radiator grille is dirty or obstructed.   Clean the radiator grille in front of the radar or remove any obstruction.  
The surface of the radar is clean but the message remains in the display.   Wait a short period of time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect that it is free from obstruction.  
Heavy rain or snow interfere with the radar signals.   Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect any vehicles ahead.  
Swirling water, snow or ice on the surface of the road interfere with the radar signals.   Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect any vehicles ahead.  
You are in a desert or remote area with no other vehicles and no roadside objects.   Wait a short period of time or switch to normal cruise control.  

Due to the nature of radar technology, a blocked sensor message could display when the sensor is not blocked. This can happen, for example, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments. A false blocked condition self clears or clears after you switch the ignition off and on.
Switching to Normal Cruise Control
WARNING   WARNING:  Normal cruise control will not brake when your vehicle is approaching slower vehicles. Always be aware of which mode you have selected and apply the brakes when necessary.
