When you are overriding the system, the green indicator light
illuminates and the follow vehicle does not show in the
information display. The system will resume operation when
you release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle speed will decrease to the
set speed, or a lower speed if following a slower vehicle.
Changing the Set Speed
There are three ways to change the set speed:
• Accelerate or brake to the desired speed and press SET upward and
release.
• Increase or decrease the speed by holding SET upward or downward
until the desired set speed is shown on the information display. The
vehicle speed will gradually change to the selected speed.
• Increase or decrease the speed in increments of 1 mph (2 km/h) by
briefly pressing SET upward or downward.
The system may apply the brakes to slow your vehicle down to the new
set speed. The set speed will display continuously in the information
display while the system is active.
Resuming the Set Speed
Note: Resume should only be used if you are aware of the set speed and
intend to return to it.
Press and release RES. Your vehicle will return to the previously set
speed. The set speed will display continuously in the information display
while the system is active.
Low Speed Automatic Cancellation
The system is not functional at vehicle speeds below 16 mph (26 km/h).
An audible alarm sounds and the automatic braking released if your
vehicle drops below this speed.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note: An audible alarm sounds and the system shuts down if it is applying
brakes for an extended period of time. This allows the brakes to cool down.
The system will function normally again when the brakes have cooled down.
You should select a lower gear position when the system is active in
situations such as prolonged downhill driving on steep grades, for
example driving in mountainous areas. Your vehicle needs additional
engine braking in these situations to reduce the load on the vehicle's
regular brake system to prevent them from overheating.
