WHAT IS CRUISE CONTROL

Cruise control lets you maintain a set
speed without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal.

Requirements

Use cruise control when the vehicle speed
is greater than 15 mph in imperial units and
20 km/h in metric units.

SWITCHING CRUISE CONTROL
ON AND OFF

WARNING: 

Do not use cruise

control on winding roads, in heavy traffic
or when the road surface is slippery. This
could result in loss of vehicle control,
serious injury or death.

The cruise controls are on the steering
wheel.

Switching Cruise Control On

E332905

Press the button to activate the
system. When the system
activates, the set speed is equal

to whichever is greater, the current vehicle
speed, or 15 mph when in imperial units or

HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO
WORK

Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to maintain
a set gap between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you while following it to
a complete stop. Stop and go can also be
set to follow a vehicle directly in front of
you and adjust the set speed, while you are
at a complete stop.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS

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: 

Do not use adaptive

cruise control on winding roads, in heavy
traffic or when the road surface is
slippery. This could result in loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death.

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 unpaved, or steep slopes. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.

WARNING: 

The system is not a

crash warning or avoidance system.

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: 

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.

WARNING: 

Do not use the system

with a snow plow blade installed.

WARNING: 

Do not use the system

in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow.

When Following a Vehicle

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.

Hilly Condition Usage

Select a lower gear when the system is
active in situations such as prolonged
downhill driving on steep slopes, for
example in mountainous areas.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
LIMITATIONS

Sensor Limitations

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: 

If the system

malfunctions, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.

WARNING: 

Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor
performance.

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.

WARNING: 

The system may not

detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).

WARNING: 

The system does not

detect pedestrians or objects in the road.

WARNING: 

The system does not

detect oncoming vehicles in the same
lane.

WARNING: 

The system may not

operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction.

WARNING: 

The sensor may

incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning.

E328125

Camera.

1.

Radar sensor.

2.

The camera is on the windshield behind
the interior mirror.

The radar sensor is in the lower grille.

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.

A message displays if something obstructs
the camera or the sensor. When something
blocks the sensor, the system cannot
detect a vehicle ahead and does not
function.  See 

Adaptive Cruise Control

– Information Messages

 (page 341).

332

Adaptive Cruise Control

 (If Equipped)

The radar sensor has a limited field of view.
It may not detect vehicles at all or detect
a vehicle later than expected in some
situations. The lead vehicle image does
not illuminate if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you.

Detection Issues Can Occur:

E71621

When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.

A

With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.

B

There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front
when driving into and coming out
of a bend or curve in the road.

C

In these cases, the system may brake late
or unexpectedly.

If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the
radar-sensing zone may change. This could
cause missed or false vehicle detection.

Optimal system performance requires a
clear view of the road by the windshield
camera.

Optimal performance may not occur if:

The camera is blocked.

There is poor visibility or lighting
conditions.

There are bad weather conditions.

LANE CENTERING

HOW DOES LANE CENTERING
WORK

Adaptive cruise control with lane centering
uses radar and camera sensors to help
keep your vehicle in the middle of the lane
by applying continuous assistance steering
torque input toward the lane center on
highways.

Note:

The adaptive cruise control gap

setting operates normally.

If you drive off-center within the lane, the
system sets and maintains that preferred
lane position. The system provides
continuous assistance steering torque
input toward the preferred position.

Note:

The system can only set preferred

lane positions within the lane.

Note:

If the system cancels, the preferred

position erases. On the next activation, the
system provides continuous assistance
steering torque input toward the lane center.

INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL

HOW DOES INTELLIGENT
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
WORK

Intelligent adaptive cruise control
combines speed sign recognition and
navigation map data with adaptive cruise
control to adjust the cruise set speed to
the speed limit detected by the speed sign
recognition system. As the system detects
new speed signs, the set speed updates.

There are limitations that affect the
accuracy of the speed sign recognition
system and its ability to determine the
current speed limit. The intelligent
adaptive cruise control system and its
ability to determine the current speed limit
shares these limitations.

Note:

The adaptive cruise control gap

setting operates normally when the feature
is enabled.

WHAT IS BLUECRUISE

BlueCruise keeps your vehicle centered in
the lane and offers a hands-free driving
mode in certain situations when using
adaptive cruise control.

HOW DOES BLUECRUISE
WORK

BlueCruise uses cameras to monitor your
vehicle position within a lane and applies
steering support to keep your vehicle
centered in the lane.

Using the cameras and location
information, BlueCruise allows you to
remove your hands from the steering wheel
and offers a hands-free driving mode in
certain areas.

When active, BlueCruise uses a driver
facing camera and infrared lighting to
monitor your eyes and head position to
detect if you are distracted. If the system
determines you are distracted, it alerts you
to return your eyes to the road.
