\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.
SMART CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (SCC) (IF EQUIPPED)
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.OPS057119CF
WARNING
The Smart Cruise Control
System (SCC) is deactivated
when driving under the speed
of 10 km/h (6 mph). In this case,
the SCC will be unable to main-
tain the distance entered by the
driver. It is the driver's respon-
sibility to depress the brake to
maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle the driver is
approaching.

stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
