Cruise Control
With cruise control a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more can be maintained without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
If the cruise control is being used and the Traction Control (TCS) system or StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control
will automatically disengage. See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control 0 182. If a collision alert occurs when cruise control is activated, cruise control is disengaged. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 195. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, cruise control can be turned back on.
If equipped with Hill Descent Control (HDC), the cruise control will disengage if HDC is active.
If the brakes are applied, the cruise control disengages.
5 : Press to turn the system on or off. A white indicator comes on in the instrument cluster when cruise
control is turned on.
+RES : If there is a set speed in memory, press briefly to resume to 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.
* : Press to disengage cruise control without erasing the set speed from memory.
Setting Cruise Control
If 5 is on when not in use, SET− or
+RES could get pressed and go into cruise when not desired. Keep 5 off when cruise is not being used.
The cruise control indicator on the instrument cluster turns green after cruise control has been set to the desired speed. See Instrument Cluster (Base Level) 0 97 or
Instrument Cluster (Uplevel) 0 99.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied or * is pressed, the cruise control is disengaged without erasing the set speed from memory.
Once the vehicle speed reaches about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more, press +RES briefly. The vehicle returns to the previous set speed.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is already activated:
+RES. For each press, the vehicle goes about 1 km/h (1 mph) faster.
The speedometer reading can be displayed in either English or metric units. See Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base Level) 0 114 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel) 0 116. The increment value used depends on the units displayed.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
If the cruise control system is already activated:
The speedometer reading can be displayed in either English or metric units. See Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base Level) 0 114 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel) 0 116. The increment value used depends on the units displayed.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the previous set cruise speed. While pressing the accelerator pedal or shortly following the release to override cruise control, briefly pressing SET– will result in cruise control set to the current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on hills depends on the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your
speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. If the brake pedal is applied, cruise control will disengage.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end cruise control:
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from memory if 5 is pressed or if the ignition is turned off.
