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. Use the ASCC only when traveling
on open highways in good weather.

vation.
If the ASCC is left on, (CRUISE
indicator light in the instrument
cluster illuminated) the ASCC
can be activated unintentional-
ly. Keep the ASCC off (CRUISE
indicator light OFF) when the
ASCC is not in use, to avoid

The advanced smart cruisecontrol 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.
Do not use the advanced smart cruise control when it
may not be safe to keep the
car at a constant speed, for
instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or steep hills
up-hill or down-hill roads.
