unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h):

WARNING!

Leaving the Speed Control system on when not in use

is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or

cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose

control and have an accident. Always leave the system

off when you are not using it.

U.S. Speed (mph)

• Pushing the RES (+) button once will result in a 1 mph

increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button

results in an increase of 1 mph.

To Set A Desired Speed

• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will

continue to increase until the button is released, then the

new set speed will be established.

Turn the Speed Control on. When the vehicle has reached

the desired speed, push the SET (-) button and release.

Release the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the

selected speed.

Metric Speed (km/h)

• Pushing the RES (+) button once will result in a 1 km/h

increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button

Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the

pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.

The driver’s preferred units can be selected through the

instrument panel settings if equipped. Refer to “Getting To

Know Your Instrument Panel” for more information. The

speed decrement shown is dependant on the chosen speed

unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h):

Using Speed Control On Hills

The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the

vehicle set speed.

6

NOTE: The Speed Control system maintains speed up and

down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is

normal.

U.S. Speed (mph)

• Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 mph

decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button

results in a decrease of 1 mph.

On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it

may be preferable to drive without Speed Control.

• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will

continue to decrease until the button is released, then the

new set speed will be established.

WARNING!

Speed Control can be dangerous where the system

cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could

go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose

control and have an accident. Do not use Speed Control

in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,

snow-covered or slippery.

Metric Speed (km/h)

• Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 km/h

decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button

results in a decrease of 1 km/h.

182 STARTING AND OPERATING

To Resume Speed

Rear Park Assist Sensors

To resume a previously set speed, push the RES (+) button

and release. Resume can be used at any speed above

25 mph (40 km/h).

The four Rear Park Assist sensors, located in the rear

fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is

within the sensors’ field of view. The sensors can detect

obstacles, in the horizontal direction, from approximately

12 inches (30 cm) up to 55 inches (140 cm) from the center

of the rear fascia/bumper and up to 24 inches (60 cm) from

the corners of the rear fascia/bumper, depending on the

location, type and orientation of the obstacle.

To Deactivate

A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC button,

or normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will

deactivate the Speed Control without erasing the set speed

from memory.

If several obstacles are detected, the Rear Park Assist

system indicates the nearest obstacle.

Pushing the ON/OFF button or turning the ignition switch

OFF erases the set speed from memory.

The minimum height of a detectable obstacle corresponds

to the maximum height of an obstacle that would clear the

underside of the vehicle during the parking maneuver.

REAR PARK ASSIST

The Rear Park Assist system provides audible and visual

indications of the distance between the rear fascia/bumper

and a detected obstacle when backing up, e.g. during a

parking maneuver. Refer to the “Park Assist System Usage

Precautions” for the limitations of this system and recom-

mendations.

Rear Park Assist Warning Display

The Rear Park Assist Warning screen is located within the

Uconnect Settings. It provides audible and visual warnings

to indicate the distance between the rear fascia/bumper

and the detected obstacle. Refer to ꢀUconnect Settingsꢀ in

“Multimediaꢀ for further information.

The Rear Park Assist is automatically activated when the

transmission is placed into REVERSE.
