Got a 2026 loaded and I'm loving it.

Dumb question

When I turn on adaptive cruise control it automatically just starts adjusting speed before I even have a change to hit the resume button like I did previously on my 2020 model. Is this new or am I messing a setting somewhere?

Thanks

Welcome to the forums

Sounds like you have the intelligent cruise control on that reads street signs and uses GPS. It’s somewhere in the settings, change it to adaptive cruise instead of intelligent cruise

My setting in cruise control are normal cruise and adaptive which is where it’s set now. If I turn off adaptive don’t I also turn off blue cruise?

maybe it’s changed a bit with the newer models as I don’t have blue cruise. For my 22 it’s in the vehicle assist settings on the main center console screen there’s an option for adaptive vs intelligent but I’m wondering if you’ve got another setting altogether. Maybe another 25-26 owner can chime in
