How to Decrease the Set Speed
Press the SET switch continuously and
release the switch a t the desired speed.
The set speed can be adjusted
incrementally (1 km/h (1 mph)
increments) by press ing the switch and
releasing it immediately. For example, if
the switch is press ed 4 times, the set
vehicle speed decreases by about 4 km/h
(4 mph).
Canceling the function
When the cruise control function is
canceled and the RES switch is pressed
while the vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16
mph) or faster, the speed returns to the
original set speed.
Canceling using OFF/CANCEL switch
When the OFF/CANCEL switch is
pressed once, the cruise control function is
cancelled.
Automatically cancel
The cruise control fu nction is canceled
automatically in the following cases.
•The brake pedal is depressed.
•The parking brake is applied.
•The selector lever is shifted to P or N
position.
NOTE
•If the vehicle speed decreases by about
15 km/h (9.4 mph) or more than the set
speed, the cruise control function may
be canceled.
•When the vehicle speed is less than 21
km/h (13 mph), the cruise control
function is canceled. In this case, the
vehicle speed will not return to the
original set speed even if the vehicle is
accelerated to 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher and the RES switch is pressed.
Reset the cruise control function.

Advanced Smart City Brake Support (Advanced SCBS)*
The Advanced SCBS alerts the driver of a possible collision usi ng the display and a warning
sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detects a vehicle a head or pedestrian and
determines that a collision with the object is unavoidable whil e the vehicle is driven at a
vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph) if the object is a vehicle ahead and about
10 to 80 km/h (6.2 to 50 mph) if the object is a pedestrian. In addition, the system reduces
damage in the event of a collision by operating the brake contr ol (Advanced SCBS brake)
when the system determines that a collision is unavoidable. In addition, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal, the brakes are applied firmly and qu ickly to assist. (Brake Assist

Do not rely completely on the Advanced SCBS system:
The Advanced SCBS system is only designed to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
Over reliance on the system leading to the accelerator pedal or brake pedal being
mistakenly operated could result in an accident.
The Advanced SCBS system operates in response to a vehicle ahead, a 2-wheeled vehicle, or
a pedestrian. The system does not operate in response to obstructions such as a wall or
animals.

•The Advanced SCBS system is not turned off.
•Under the following conditions, the Advanced SCBS system may not operate normally:
•The Advanced SCBS system will not operate if the driver is deliberately performing
driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering wheel).
•If there is the possibility of pa rtial contact with a vehicle ahead.
•The vehicle is driven on a slippery road surface such as wet roads or icy or snow-bound roads.
•The braking performance is adversely affected due to cold temperatures or wet brakes.
•The vehicle is driven at the same speed as the vehicle ahead.
•The accelerator pedal is depressed.
•The brake pedal is depressed.

•In the following cases, the Advanced SCBS may operate.
•Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve.
•Vehicles passing in the opposite lane while making a curve.
•When passing through a toll gate.
•When passing through low gates, narrow gates, car washing machines, or tunnels.
•If you suddenly come close to a vehicle ahead.
•2-wheeled vehicles, animals, or standing trees.

The SCBS system alerts the driver of a possible collision using an indication in the display
and a warning sound when the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) detec ts a vehicle ahead and
determines that a collision with a vehicle ahead is unavoidable while the vehicle is being
driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 80 km/h (2 to 50 mph). In addition, the system
reduces damage in the event of a collision by operating the bra ke control (Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) brake) when the system determines that a collisi on is unavoidable while the
vehicle is being driven at a vehicle speed of about 4 to 30 km/ h (2 to 18 mph). It may also
be possible to avoid a collision if the relative s peed between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you is less than about 2 0 km/h (12 mph). In addition, when the driver depresses the
brake pedal while the system is in the operation range at about 4 to 30 km/h (2 to 18 mph),
the brakes are applied firmly and quickly to assist. (Brake Ass ist (Smart City Brake Support
