accents or uncommon names. Improve the performance
by making a few simple changes to your phone
contacts, listed below. To help optimize the Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology Voice Recognition system, see
other tips and reminders under Quick Tips.
•Use full names (first and last names) vs. short or
single-syllable names (“John Smith” vs. “Dad,”
“Smith Residence” vs. “Home”)
•Avoid using special characters, emojis or hyphenated
names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
•Avoid using acronyms (“In Case of Emergency” vs.
“ICE”) or words with all capital letters
•Spell words completely, no abbreviations (“Doctor
Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”)

The Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go* system is designed to maintain a predetermined distance from vehicles detected
ahead by automatically adjusting the driving speed as needed. When traffic is detected, the vehicle will automatically slow to
maintain a set distance between traffic without depressing the accelerator or 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 the SCC speed:
•Push the CRUISE button A to turn the system ON. The CRUISE indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed and press lever B down to set the speed
•Press button B down to set the speed. Press the RES+/SET- button B up/down to increase/decrease the set speed
•The SET indicator light, set speed and vehicle-to-vehicle distance will illuminate on the instrument cluster’s LCD screen
To set the vehicle-to-vehicle distance: Press the SCC button C on the steering wheel. The image on the LCD screen D
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 E. The CRUISE indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the CRUISE button A. The CRUISE indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.

The SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive), EPB is activated and various other conditions. See owner’s manual for other conditions •
Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware of. If the SCC system is left on, it can be activated inadvertently. Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware of
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.CRUISE100 MPHCRUISE100 MPH
