Driver Attention Warning (DAW)†6b
DAW is designed to detect inattentive driving practices and, in certain situations, can give a
warning signal to take a break from driving.
DAW is set to ON by default. To turn DAW OFF, turn the ignition on and then select User
Settings in the LCD Display on the Instrument Cluster or Vehicle Settings* in the audio head
unit. Go to Driver Assist and select Driver Attention Warning. Set Warning Timing to Normal or
Late Warning Timing.
Driver Attention Warning modes:
OFF: The Driver Attention Warning system is deactivated
Normal: The Driver Attention Warning system alerts the
driver of inattentive driving practices
Late: The Driver Attention Warning system alerts the driver of inattentive driving practices later
than in Normal mode
If the DAW System is activated, the DAW information will appear on the LCD Display A when
you select the Driving Assist mode .
A message, “Consider taking a break,” appears on the LCD display and a warning sounds to
advise the driver to take a break when the driver’s attention level is below one bar.
REMINDERS:
•
The setup of the DAW system will be maintained, as selected, when the ignition is cycled
•
When activated, the DAW system does not display the “Consider taking a break” message when the total trip driving time is less than 10 minutes
Driver Attention Warning is not a substitute for safe driving and may not detect all instances of inattentive driving practices. Failure to pay attention to travel conditions and vehicle operation could result in loss of vehicle control. Always drive safely and use caution.

SCC 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.
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
Smart Cruise Control (SCC)† 6 a , 21
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) 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 slow down to maintain a set distance behind
traffic without depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
With SCC on and activated and the vehicle distance set, when 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, SCC 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:
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
•Press the Driving Assist button A to turn system ON and set speed. The CRUISE
indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster and the set speed will automatically
activate at the vehicle’s current speed
•Press the button B inward to pause/resume the cruise control
•Press the +/- button B up/down to increase/decrease the set speed. The SET indicator
light, set speed and vehicle distance will illuminate on the instrument cluster’s LCD
screen
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button C on the steering
wheel. Scroll through the selections and the vehicle-to-vehicle distance image changes
and displays on the Instrument Cluster LCD.
To pause/resume SCC operation: Press the button B to pause or resume Cruise Control.
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the Driving Assist button A. The CRUISE indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To adjust the sensitivity of SCC: Press the mode button D on the Steering Wheel. With the OK
button E, select Drive Assistance, then SCC Response. Then select Fast, Normal or Slow.
To change the cruise control mode from SCC to standard cruise control, press and hold
button C. Repeat to switch back to SCC mode (the SCC system must not be activated
to change modes).
