Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle.

Highway Driving Assist (HDA)*†6a
Highway Driving Assist (HDA) is designed to adjust the speed of the vehicle when driving on limited/controlled access
highways. The system can adjust the vehicle’s speed based on available highway speed information. The automatic speed
setting mode is designed to set the speed automatically by adjusting to the current speed limits of the highway vehicle is
travelling on.
To enable HDA, go to User Settings in the Instrument cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in the audio head unit. Go to Driver
Assistance > Driving Assist > Highway Driving Assist.
To activate HDA, turn Smart Cruise Control (SCC) on by pressing the Driving Assist (Cruise) button A on the Steering
Wheel controls.
HDA will operate only when these conditions are met:
• When the SCC speed is set to current highway and controlled/limited access roads
•The vehicle is traveling slower than 110 mph
•
When driving on limited access highways, such as, Interstate, Federal and State freeways
•
When SCC is on and operating
When HDA is activated and the conditions are met, the Instrument Cluster indicator light B will illuminate green. If the
conditions are not met, HDA will be in standby mode and the indicator light B will illuminate white.
When in operation, and if both lanes are recognized, a display C will show the lanes illuminated white and the steering
wheel indicator illuminated green.
If HDA is activated, conditions are met and the SCC speed is set by the driver (at the posted highway speed limit), HDA
will enter the automatic speed setting mode. The set speed and AUTO will be displayed D in green and an audible alert

QR CODE
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).
