Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)*†7
The FCA system is designed to help alert the driver, and, under
certain conditions, apply emergency braking, when rapidly
approaching a vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped .
Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) when it
detects a potential collision with a vehicle in front, emitting an
audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster .
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings .
To turn FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again and turn it off .
If the collision risk increases, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) is designed to automatically apply the brakes to reduce
your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible
collision . FCA is ON by default and can be turned OFF in the User
Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go*†7, 2 0
The Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system allows you to set the vehicle to maintain a speed
and predetermined distance from vehicles detected ahead by automatically adjusting the
driving speed as needed . When traffic is encountered, the vehicle may be slowed to help
maintain the set distance from vehicles detected ahead without the driver depressing
the brake pedal .
With the SCC on and activated, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set, and the system
detects a vehicle slowing or stopping, the system can bring the vehicle to a complete
stop . When the vehicle ahead starts to move forward, the SCC system re-engages . If the
vehicle ahead stops for more than 3 seconds, the accelerator pedal or the RES+ button
must be pressed to start moving the vehicle .
To set/adjust SCC speed:
•Push the CRUISE button A to turn system ON . The CRUISE indicator will illuminate on
the instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
•Press button B down to set the speed . The SET indicator light will illuminate . The set
speed and vehicle-to-vehicle distance will illuminate on the LCD screen
•Press the RES+/SET- button B up/down to increase/decrease the set speed
To adjust the vehicle-to-vehicle distance setting C: Press the SCC button D on
the steering wheel . The images on the LCD screen E and the Instrument Cluster F
will change when scrolling through the settings . Each time the button is pressed, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance changes .
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button G or press the brake pedal .
The LCD screen will display a message that the SCC operation is canceled H .
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the CRUISE button A . The CRUISE indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn OFF .
The SCC system is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
