Cruise Control - Adaptive: Overview

Cruise Control - Adaptive

Overview

The adaptive cruise control system is controlled by the steering wheel mounted switches (ON/OFF, SET, CNCL, RES and GAP) that are integrated into the LH steering wheel switch.

The cruise control system maintains a selected vehicle speed between 29 km/h (18 mph) and the maximum limited vehicle speed and displays that speed in the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) message center. When a MyKey(R) restricted key is in use and max speed limiter is turned on, vehicle speed is limited to 128.7 km/h (80 mph).

The vehicle maintains the selected speed until another slower vehicle is detected ahead in the same lane by the radar sensor unit inside the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module). The vehicle speed is adjusted automatically to maintain a preset distance gap. The vehicle maintains the distance gap and the brakes automatically apply to slow the vehicle to maintain the gap to the vehicle ahead.

The cruise control system is controlled by the PCM (Powertrain Control Module).
