➂ Set speed
\b Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The advanced smart cruise control
system (ASCC) allows you to pro-
gram the vehicle to maintain a set
speed so long as it is not limited by
traffic. When traffic is encountered
the vehicle will be slowed to maintain
a set distance behind traffic without
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal.
ADVANCED SMART CRUISE CONTROL (ASCC) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
OVG053312
WARNING- ASCC
Inadvertent Activation
If the advanced smart cruise
control is left on (CRUISE indi-
cator light in the instrument
cluster illuminated), it can be
activated inadvertently. Keep
the ASCC off (CRUISE indicator
light OFF) when the ASCC is not
in use to avoid setting a speed
which the driver is not aware of.WARNING- ASCC Limitations
The ASCC is a supplemental
system and is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Do not use the ASCC when
conditions may prevent the
vehicle from maintaining pre-
dictable movement for the driv-
er. For example, driving in diffi-
cult or erratic traffic condi-
tions, or on slippery rainy, icy
or snow-covered roads. Also
avoid winding roads since your
ASCC may lose the ability to
track the vehicle in front of you
in such severe curves. Also
avoid severe up and down
grades [over 6%] since the
smart cruise control may not
be able to compensate for such
extreme inclines.

want.
Move the lever up (to RES+) and release it immediately.
The cruising speed will increase by
1.6 km/h (or 1 mph) each time you
move the lever up (to RES+) in this
manner.
You can set the speed to 180 km/h (113 mph ).
To decrease the cruising
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever down (to SET-) andhold it. Your vehicle will gradually
slow down. Release the lever at the
speed you want to maintain.
Move the lever down (to SET-) and release it immediately.
The cruising speed will decrease
by 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time you
move the lever down (to SET-) in
this manner.
You can set the cruise control to any speed above 30 km/h (19
mph).
To temporarily accelerate with
the cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
If you move the lever down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruising
speed will be set again.

WARNING- Throttle
Override
Your ASCC will not slow or stop
your vehicle if you apply the
throttle, since the system is
designed to allow you to over-
ride and retain control of your
vehicle at all times, whether
braking or accelerating.

545
Driving your vehicle
If the system is cancelled, the warn-
ing chime will sound and a message
will appear for a few seconds.
You must adjust the vehicle speed by
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition.
Always check the road conditions.
Do not rely on the warning chime.
To resume cruise control set
speed:
If any method other than the
CRUISE button was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the cruising speed will
automatically resume when you
move the lever up (to RES+).
If you move the lever up (to RES+),
the speed will resume to the recently
set speed. It will not resume if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).

ring. If the vehicle ahead moves to the
next lane, the warning chime will
sound and a message will appear to
provide a supplemental alert to help
you avoid that risk.In traffic situation

553
Driving your vehicle
A vehicle moving in front of you with
a quick lane change may close dis-
tance on your vehicle so suddenly as
to exceed the ASCC reaction ability.
Always be prepared to provide direct
control of your vehicle in the event of
such unexpected and sudden situa-
tions.
WARNING- ASCC
Emergency Stops
If an emergency stop is neces-
sary, you must apply the brakes
and not rely on the ASCC.
WARNING- ASCC
Following Distance
Keep a safe distance according
to road conditions and vehicle
speed. If the vehicle to vehicle
distance is too close during
high-speed driving, it may cause
a serious collision.
CAUTION
The ASCC may not operate tem- porarily due to electrical inter-ference.

This system detects the lane with the
sensor at the front windshield and
warns you when your vehicle leaves
the lane. The LDWS does not make the
vehicle change lanes. It is the dri-
ver's responsibility to always check
the road conditions.
If the sensor cannot detect the lane or if the vehicle speed does not
exceed 70km/h (43mph), the
LDWS won't warn you even though
the vehicle leaves the lane.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of coating on the front
windshield, the LDWS may not
work properly.
Prevent damage to the LDWS sen- sor from water or any liquid.
Do not remove the LDWS parts and do not damage the sensor by
a strong impact.
Do not put objects that reflect light on the dash board.
Always check the road conditions for you may not hear the warning
chime because of audio, or exter-
nal noise.
