Cruise Control - Adaptive

Cruise Control - Adaptive

The cruise control system consists of the following components:

- Cruise-Control Module (C-CM) (located behind the front bumper cover)

- Adaptive cruise control indicator (located in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC))

- Cruise control switches

- Cruise control deactivator switch (part of the stoplamp switch)

- Stoplamp switch

- Cruise control indicator

- PCM

- ABS module

- Electronically-controlled throttle body

- Clockspring

- Radar sensor unit (part of the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module))

- Head Up Display (HUD) module (located in the instrument panel upper section)

The adaptive cruise control system operation is similar to the standard cruise control system. The adaptive cruise control system is comprised of the PCM, the ABS module, the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module), and inputs from the brake pedal switch and the steering wheel switches. The adaptive cruise control system is controlled by the steering wheel mounted switches (<--->, ON, OFF, SET+, SET- and RESUME). The <---> symbol on the cruise control switch is the distance gap switch. The adaptive cruise control system maintains a road speed selected by the driver from the steering wheel switches and that speed is displayed in the message center.

The vehicle maintains the selected speed until another slower vehicle is detected ahead in the same lane by the radar sensor unit. The vehicle speed is adjusted automatically to maintain a preset distance gap. When the adaptive cruise control feature is activated, an amber adaptive cruise control indicator illuminates in the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) and the message center momentarily displays the 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.

When a MyKey(TM) is used and the MyKey(TM) max speed limiter is turned on, the vehicle speed cannot be set to exceed 130 km/h (80 mph).
