Can't set cruise control

Started a drive on an interstate and found I could not set the cruise control. Got up to the speed I wanted, hit the "SET" button on the right side of the steering wheel . . . and nothing happened. The system didn't engage and din't show up on the center screen. Is there a step I'm missing -- or another control I should double check for the proper setting?
 
I had to press a button on the steering wheel controls. I think it says Main and then the icons lit up in the top right corner of the display: ACC and LKAS.
 
You will also need to click the button next to main to activate LKAS... Until you see the 2 lines show up, it isn't activated (and won't actually activate until it becomes solid white line at or above 45 mph)
 
Amy is correct, you press the MAIN button on the steering wheel and then you can press the SET on the cruise button cluster(LKAS is another button, you do not have to use it to get the ACC to work) . One thing that messed me up for a bit, you press set and it goes into ACC mode and you set the follow distance with the right hand button. You can turn the ACC part off and just have it work as a normal cruise control by holding down the distance button for one second BUT it has to be with ACC off. If you are already in ACC mode holding down the distance button for one second just changes the follow distance and makes you look not at all like the genius you tell your spouse you are.
 
Question on LKAS, is your tracking around curves ok (yes, the solid lines showed up)? I find that it has problems with curves on freeways. Straight is fine.
 
LKAS keeps the car in the center of the lane but if you are driving manually, the thumping of the steering wheel is the function of the Lane Departure Warning to let you know you are straying off your lane (it won't thump if you use the turn signal as it expects you to cross the lane divider)

That's dumb! I think the Lane Departure Warning must come on automatically because I have that happen sometimes and never touch a button. It would be nice if the LKAS would just stay on. The ACC seems to stay on once I've pressed the Main button and is useable every time without re-enabling it.
 
Amy I believe the Lane Departure Warning is part of the safety feature just like the ABS so it's always on and I am not sure if you can actually turn this off (someone correct me). But ACC and LKAS, Collision Mitigation etc are optional feature like the regular old Cruise Control where most Japanese and Korean cars has a on/off (in this car's case, it's the MAIN button and it controls both ACC and LKAS) to turn the feature on first, then you are require to actually set it up just like regular cruise control, so for ACC/cruise control, you have to set the speed whereas the LKAS you have to press the button (so the 8 little boxes shows up) to set it, does that make sense?

My experience is a little hit and miss... For new or very visible lines it tracks fine. But the line is fading, then it will lost LKAS, and if you have been steering then it will reactivate much quicker than if you don't help steer the wheel

On US cars:
CMBS and VSA are automatically turned on at start but can be manually turned off with physical buttons on left side lower dash where the charge door opener is located. You have to hold down the button for these and then you get an amber warning icon on the DDI. The off setting is canceled at next start.

Lane Departure Warning is part of the Road Departure Mitigation System.
RDM can be turned on or off with one push and has a green LED on the button to indicate it’s on and no warning icon on the DDI when it’s off. This setting is remember at next start.
