ADVANCED SMART CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (ASCC) (IF EQUIPPED)
➀Cruise indicator
➁ Set speed
➂ Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The ASCC allows you to program the
vehicle to maintain a set speed so
long as it is not limited by traffic.
When traffic is encountered the vehi-
cle will slow down to maintain a set
distance behind traffic without
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal.
WARNING - Advanced
Smart Cruise Control
Inadvertent Activation
If the advanced smart cruise
control is left on (CRUISE indi-
cator in the instrument cluster
illuminated), it can be activated
inadvertently. Keep the
advanced smart cruise control
system off (CRUISE indicator
turn off) when the advanced
smart cruise control is not in
use to avoid setting a speed
which the driver is not aware of.
WARNING- Advanced
Smart Cruise Control
Limitations
The advanced smart cruise control is a supplemental sys-
tem 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.
(Continued)
OUM056156
(Continued)
Do not use the advanced smartcruise control when it may not
be safe to keep the car at a con-
stant speed, for instance, driv-
ing in heavy or varying traffic,
or on slippery (rainy, icy or
snow-covered) or winding
roads or over 6% up-hill or
down-hill roads.
The advanced smart cruise control system cannot recog-
nize a stopped vehicle, pedes-
trians or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
Use the advanced smart cruise control system only when trav-
eling on open highways in
good weather conditions.
Limited visibility (rain, snow, smog, etc)
Cruise function should not be used when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent any damage.

Driving your vehicle
To decrease the cruise controlset speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever down (to SET-), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
decrease by 10 km/h (5 mph).
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever down (to SET-), and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 1.0 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 (20 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.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating tem-
porarily, because the speed is not
regulated automatically at this time
even if there is a vehicle in front of
you.
ASCC will be temporarily can-
celed when:
Cancelled manually
The brake pedal is depressed.
Press the CANCEL button.

RPM.
The ASCC system has malfunc- tioned.
The accelerator pedal is continu- ously depressed for more than 5
minutes.
Each of these actions will cancel
the ASCC operation. (The set
speed and vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance on the LCD display will go
off.)
If the ASCC is cancelled automati-
cally, the ASCC will not resume
even though the RES+ or SET-
lever is moved. Also, the EPB
(electronic parking brake) will be
applied when the vehicle is
stopped.
If the ASCC is cancelled by a reason

Vehicle to vehicle distance
setting (ASCC)
To set vehicle to vehicle distance:
This function allows you to program
the vehicle to maintain relative dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead without
depressing the accelerator pedal or
brake pedal. The vehicle to vehicle distance will
automatically activate when the
ASCC is on.
Select the appropriate distance
according to road conditions and
vehicle speed.
Each time the button is pressed, the
vehicle to vehicle distance changes
as follows:
For example, if you drive at 90 km/h
(56 mph), the distance is maintained
as follows;
Distance 4 -
approximately 52.5 m
(172 feet)
Distance 3 - approximately 40 m
(130 feet)
Distance 2 - approximately 32.5 m
(106 feet)
Distance 1 - approximately 25 m (82 feet)
✽ ✽NOTICE
The 'Distance 4' is always set when
the system is used for the first time

On curves
On curves, the ASCC may not
detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and then your vehicle could
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will rapidly slow
down when the vehicle ahead is
recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on curves and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving
condition. Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal
according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition. Apply
the accelerator pedal and select
the appropriate set speed. Check
to be sure that the road conditions
permit safe operation of the ASCC.
On inclines
During uphill or downhill driving,the ASCC may not detect a moving
vehicle in your lane, and cause
your vehicle to accelerate to the
set speed. Also, the vehicle speed
will rapidly slow down when the
vehicle ahead is recognized sud-
denly.
Select the appropriate set speed on inclines and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving
condition.

Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles ahead in your lane
cannot be recognized by the sensor
as follows:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-
cles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden- decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing
upwards due to overloading in the
trunk
- While making turns by steering
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal accord-
ing to the road condition ahead and
driving condition. When vehicles are at a standstill
and the vehicle in front of you
changes to the next lane, be care-
ful when your vehicle starts to
move because it may not recog-
nize the stopped vehicle in front of
you.
