The table below provides general information about different types of Cruise Control features. 

Cruise Control Feature Type Description
Adaptive Cruise Control†

Adaptive Cruise Control allows your vehicle to reduce speed in response to traffic conditions and return to the set speed once conditions improve.

Adaptive Cruise Control provides:

  • Advanced radar technology is used to monitor traffic ahead and scan for slower vehicles.
  • The ability to:
    • Maintain a safe distance between vehicles.
    • Return to the speed you set with the Cruise Control system.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop And Go Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go allows your vehicle to maintain a preset speed and distance from a vehicle driving in front of you. It will ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop when needed.
Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control  Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts the cruise set speed to the speed limit detected by the vehicle's Speed Sign Recognition system. For example, if the speed sign recognition system detects a 80 kph speed limit, the Cruise Control speed updates to 80 kph.
