General Description, Standard Adaptive Cruise Control

p4 dm 07.01.000, Gen5Cas DM 12.01.01

Warning: Do not use the cruise control system when driving conditions do not permit maintaining a constant speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or roads with a loose driving surface. Failure to follow this precaution could cause a collision or loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in personal injury or property damage.

Notice: When the cruise control is engaged, do not attempt to shift gears without using the clutch pedal. Failure to follow this precaution will result in a temporarily uncontrolled increase in engine speed. Transmission damage and gear stripping could result.

Note: If the vehicle is equipped with a Detroit DT12 automated transmission, setting the cruise control with the engine brake on will activate cruise descent control mode. Moving the transmission shift lever to the top position will resume the set cruise speed. Moving the lever down to engage the engine brake after the cruise control has been set will activate deceleration mode. See ‘Cruise Descent Control and Deceleration Modes’ in this chapter.
