Always be cautious for vehicles
with higher height or vehicles car-
rying loads that sticks out to the
back of the vehicle. - After an engine start, please stop
for several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
SCC does not normally operate.
- After an engine start, if any objects are not detected or the sensor
cover is obscured with foreign sub-
stances, there is a possibility that
the SCC system may not work.
- Below conditions are not allowed: over baggage loading in a trunk,
suspension remodeling, tire
replacement with unauthorized
tires or tires with different worn-out
and pressure levels.

WARNING - Safe Use of
SCC
The SCC can provide you with
an additional level of safety and
fatigue reduction. However you
must maintain careful observa-
tion of the roadway in from of
and around you and maintain
control of your vehicle and
spacing around other vehicles
as you normally would. For
example, this will require you to
apply the brakes as needed
when coming upon a slower
moving vehicle, or when a vehi-
cle from another lane drives
quickly in front of you.
WARNING - Inclines & Towing
Do not use SCC on steep
inclines or when towing another
vehicle or trailer since such
extreme loading can interfere
with your vehicle's ability to
maintain the selected speed.
