SMART CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (SCC) (IF EQUIPPED)
➀Cruise indicator
➁ Set speed
\b Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The SCC 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 vehicle will
slow down to maintain a set distance
behind traffic without depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal. Use the SCC only when traveling
on open highways in good weather.
Limited visibility (rain, snow, smog, etc)
Cruise function should not be used when the vehicle is being towed to
prevent any damage.
❈SCC is the abbreviation for Smart
Cruise Control.
WARNING
- Smart Cruise Control
Inadvertent Activation
If the smart cruise control is left
on (CRUISE indicator in the
instrument cluster illuminated),
it can be activated inadvertent-
ly. Keep the advanced smart
cruise control system off
(CRUISE indicator turn off)
when the smart cruise control is
not in use to avoid setting a
speed which the driver is not
aware of.ODE056095N
WARNING
The Smart Cruise Control
System (SCC) is deactivated
when driving under the speed
of 6.0 mph (10 km/h). In this
case, the it will be unable to
maintain distance from the
vehicle ahead. It is the driver’s
responsibility to depress the
brake to maintain certain dis-
tance from the vehicle ahead.

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.

tioned.
The accelerator pedal is continu- ously depressed for long time.
Each of these actions will cancel the
SCC operation. (The set speed and
vehicle-to-vehicle distance on the
LCD display will go off.)
If the SCC is cancelled automati-
cally, the SCC 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.

Vehicle to vehicle distance
setting (SCC)
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 SCC
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 56 mph
(90 km/h), the distance is maintained
as follows;
Distance 4 - approximately 172 feet
(52.5 m)
Distance 3 - approximately 130 feet (40 m)
Distance 2 - approximately 106 feet (32.5 m)
Distance 1 - approximately 82 feet
