requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with looking out of the windows,
and checking the interior and exterior mirrors
for maximum coverage. You may not see objects that are close
to either corner of the bumper or under
the bumper due to the limited coverage of
the camera system. WARNINGS
Use caution when turning camera
features on or off when the
transmission is not in park (P). Make sure
your vehicle is not moving. At all times, you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening, if required.
Failure to take care may result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, serious personal
injury or death. Note:
Use caution using the 360 view when
any of the doors are ajar. If a door is ajar,
the camera will be out of position and the
video image may be incorrect.
The 360 degree camera system consists of
front, side and rear cameras. The system:

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Cruise control lets you maintain a set speed
without keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal. You can use cruise control when your
vehicle speed is greater than 20 mph
(30 km/h).
USING CRUISE CONTROL WARNINGS
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. When you are going downhill, your
vehicle speed may increase above the
set speed. The system will not apply the
brakes but a warning displays. Note:
Cruise control will disengage if the
vehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph
(16 km/h)
below the set speed while driving
uphill. The cruise controls are on the steering
wheel.

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL
(If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Always pay close attention to changing
road conditions when using adaptive
cruise control. The system does not replace
attentive driving. Failing to pay attention to
the road may result in a crash, serious injury
or death. Adaptive cruise control does not detect
stationary or slow moving vehicles
below
6 mph (10 km/h). 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. WARNINGS
Do not use adaptive cruise control
when towing a trailer that has trailer
brakes. The auto-brake component of the
adaptive cruise control system does not
operate the trailer brakes. Using adaptive
cruise control when towing a trailer that has
trailer brakes may result in the loss of vehicle
control, which could result in serious injury. Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
warning or avoidance system.
Adaptive cruise control does not detect
pedestrians or objects in the road.
Adaptive cruise control does not detect
oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
Do not use the system in poor visibility,
for example fog, heavy rain, spray or
snow. Do not use the adaptive cruise control
when entering or leaving a highway,
on roads with intersections or roundabouts
or non-vehicular traffic or roads that are
winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep slopes.

WARNINGS
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. Note:
It is your responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
The system adjusts your 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 adaptive cruise controls are on the
steering wheel.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control On
Press and release ON.
The indicator appears in the
information display. The indicator, current gap setting and set
speed appear in the information display.
Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speed
1. Drive to desired speed.
2. Press and release
SET-. A green
indicator light, the current gap setting
and your set speed appear in the
information display.
3. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

4.
A vehicle graphic illuminates if there is a
vehicle detected in front of you.
Note: When adaptive cruise control is active,
the speedometer may vary slightly from the
set speed displayed in the information
display.
Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speed
When Your Vehicle is Stationary
1. Follow a vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Keep the brake pedal fully pressed.
3. Press and release RES+.
4. The set speed automatically adjusts to 20 mph (30 km/h). A green indicator light
and the current gap setting appear in the
information display. Following a Vehicle WARNINGS
When following a vehicle, your vehicle
does not always decelerate quickly
enough to avoid a crash without driver
intervention. Always apply the brakes when
necessary. Failing to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control only warns of
vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning or
a delayed warning. You should always apply
the brakes when necessary. Failure to do so
may result in a crash, serious injury or death. Note:
The brakes may emit noise when
applied by the system.
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 illuminates in the instrument cluster. The system may provide slight temporary
acceleration when you use your driver side
direction indicator while following a lead
vehicle, for example to overtake.
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 will not be sufficient, an audible
warning sounds when the system continues
to brake. A red warning bar displays on the
windshield and you must take immediate
action.

Changing the Set Speed
•
When you select km/h as the display
measurement in the information display
the set speed changes in approximately
1 km/h increments. When you select mph
as the display measurement in the
information display the set speed
changes in approximately 1 mph
increments.
• Press the accelerator or brake pedal until
you reach the desired speed. Press and
release RES+ or SET-.
• Press and hold
RES+ or SET-. Release
the control when you reach the desired
speed. The set speed changes in
approximately 5 mph/10 km/h increments.
The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed displays continuously in the
information display when the system is
active.
Canceling the Set Speed
Press and release
CAN or tap the brake
pedal. The set speed does not erase. The
last set speed displays with a strikethrough. Resuming the Set Speed
Press and release
RES. Your vehicle speed
returns to the previously set speed and gap
setting. The set speed displays continuously
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
Automatic cancellation can occur if:
• The tires lose traction.
• You apply the parking brake.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note: An audible alarm sounds and the
system shuts down if it applies brakes for an
extended period of time. This allows the
brakes to cool. The system functions
normally again when the brakes have
cooled. Select a lower gear during prolonged
downhill driving on steep slopes, such as
mountainous areas, when the system is
active. In such situations, the system needs
additional engine braking to reduce the load
on the vehicle
’s regular brake system to
prevent the brakes from overheating.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control Off
Press and release
OFF when the system is
in stand by mode or switch the ignition off.
Note: You erase the set speed and gap
setting when you switch the system off.
Detection Issues 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. 235
Continental (CPL) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Cruise Control

Due to the nature of radar technology, it is
possible to get a blockage warning and not
be blocked. This can happen, for example,
when driving in sparse rural or desert
environments. A false blocked condition
either self clears or clears after a key cycle.
Switching to Normal Cruise Control
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. You can manually change from adaptive
cruise control to normal cruise control
through the information display. The cruise control indicator light
replaces the adaptive cruise
control indicator light if you select
normal cruise control. The gap setting does
not display, the system does not
automatically respond to vehicles ahead and
automatic braking is not active. The system
remembers the last setting when you start
your vehicle.
