Dodge Charger: CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED / To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
After setting a speed, you can increase the set speed by pushing the SET (+)
button, or decrease speed by pushing the SET (-) button.
U.S. Speed (mph)
- Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will result in a 1 mph speed
adjustment. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an adjustment of 1
mph.
- If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to adjust
in 5 mph incre- ments until the button is released. The new set speed is reflected
in the instrument cluster display.
Metric Speed (km/h)
- Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will result in a 1 km/h speed
adjustment. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an adjustment of 1
km/h.
- If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to adjust
in 10 km/h increments until the button is released. The new set speed is reflected
in the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:
When you override and push the SET (+) button or SET (-) button, the new set
speed will be the current speed of the vehicle.
When An ACC Distance Is Also Set:
- When you use the SET (-) button to decel- erate, if the engine’s braking
power does not slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the brake
system will automatically slow the vehicle.
- The ACC system applies the brake down to a full stop when following the
vehicle in front. If your vehicle follows the vehicle in front to a standstill,
your vehicle will release the brakes two seconds after coming to a full stop.
- The ACC system maintains set speed when driving uphill and downhill. However,
a slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. In addition, downshifting
may occur while climbing uphill or descending downhill. This is normal operation
and necessary to main- tain set speed. When driving uphill and down- hill, the
ACC system will cancel if the braking temperature exceeds normal range (over-
heated).
To Turn Off
The system will turn off and erase the set speed in memory if:
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) on/off button is pushed
The Fixed Speed Cruise Control on/off button is pushed
The ignition is placed in the OFF position
To Resume
If there is a set speed in memory, push the RES (resume) button and remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal...
Setting The Following Distance In ACC
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short)...

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a
properly maintained engine exhaust system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system; or if the exhaust
fumes can be detected inside the vehicle; or when the underside or rear of the vehicle
is damaged; have an authorized technician inspect the complete exhaust system and
adjacent body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts...
