This symbol will appear on the Head-Up Display (HUD) to indicate that Adaptive Cruise Control is active. The number indicates the set speed. United States version shown, Canada similar See Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 3-41 for more information. Make sure the set speed is visible on the HUD so you know the speed your vehicle will accelerate to if a vehicle is not detected in your path. Keep in mind speed limits, surrounding traffic speeds and weather conditions when adjusting your set speed. If your vehicle is in Adaptive Cruise Control when the traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the Adaptive Cruise Control will automatically disengage. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-8 and Stabilitrak® System on page 4-10. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the Adaptive Cruise Control back on. Increasing Set Speed While Using Adaptive Cruise Control There are two ways to increase the set speed: • Use the accelerator to get to the higher speed. Press the set button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed. • Move the Adaptive Cruise Control switch from on to resume/increase. Hold it there until the desired set speed is displayed in the HUD, then release the switch. To increase your set speed in very small amounts, move the switch briefly to resume/increase. Each time you do this, your vehicle set speed will increase by 1 mph (1.6 km/h). Your vehicle will not reach the set speed until the system determines there is not a vehicle in front of you. At that point, your vehicle speed will increase to the set speed. 3-23
