The Smart Cruise Control system
allows you to program the vehicle to
help maintain the desired speed and
minimum distance between the vehi-
cle ahead.
The Smart Cruise Control system
will automatically adjust your vehicle
speed to maintain your programmed
speed and following distance without
requiring you to depress the acceler-
ator or brake pedals.

For your safety, please read the
owner's manual before using the
Smart Cruise Control system.
WARNING
The Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices, but a conven-
ience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Take the following precautions :
•Always set the vehicle speed
under the speed limit.
•If the Smart Cruise Control is
left on, ( indicator
light in the instrument cluster
is illuminated) the Smart
Cruise Control can be activat-
ed unintentionally. Keep the
Smart Cruise Control system
off ( indicator light
OFF) when the Smart Cruise
Control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
•Use the Smart Cruise Control
system only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather.
WARNING
Smart Cruise Control is not a
collision avoidance or warning
device.
Smart Cruise Control is
designed to only detect vehi-
cles as it cannot detect motor-
cycles, bicycles, or pedestrians.

steering wheel to turn the system
on. The cruise indicator will illumi-
nate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed.
The Smart Cruise Control speed
can be set when vehicle speed is
between as follows.

when there is no vehicle in front
• 0–120 mph (0–200 km/h):
when there is a vehicle in front3. Push the toggle switch down
(SET-). The Set Speed and
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Distance on the
LCD display will illuminate.
4. Release the accelerator pedal.
The desired speed will automati-
cally be maintained.
If there is a vehicle in front of you, the
speed may decrease to maintain the
distance to the vehicle ahead.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
slow down or speed up slightly while
going uphill or downhill.
Information
• Vehicle speed may decrease on an
upward slope and increase on a
downward slope.
• The speed is set to 20 mph (30 km/h)
when there is a preceding car in
front, and when your vehicle speed
is between 0-20 mph (0-30 km/h).

Sensor to Detect Distance to
the Vehicle Ahead
The Smart Cruise Control uses a
sensor to detect distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the sensor clean.
Warning message
Smart Cruise Control disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is cov-
ered with dirt, snow, or debris, the
Smart Cruise Control system opera-
tion may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will
appear on the cluster LCD display.Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor lens cover
before operating the Smart Cruise
Control system.
The Smart Cruise Control system
may not properly activate, if the radar
is totally covered, or if any substance
is not detected after turning ON the
engine (e.g. in an open terrain).
Information
For the SCC operation is temporarily
stopped if the radar is blocked, but you
wish to use cruise control mode (speed
control function), you must convert to
the cruise control mode (refer to "To
convert to Cruise Control mode" in
the following page.
