REMINDERS:
• Current highway speeds and controlled or limited access roads information may vary. Future navigation updates may change this information. See owner’s manual for more information
• When the ignition is cycled, the system returns to its previous state, on or off
Highway Driving Assist is not a substitute for safe driving, may not detect all objects around the vehicle, and only functions on certain federal highways. Always drive safely and use caution. See the Owner’s Manual for more detailed information, limitations and conditions.
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
will sound.

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC)*†6a
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control can automatically adjust the vehicle speed when
it detects a curved road ahead and when it receives road information from the navigation
system.
To turn on NSCC, go to the User Settings in the instrument cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in
the audio head unit, by selecting Driving Assistance, Highway Auto Speed Change. When SCC
is on and operating, and NSCC is turned on, then NSCC is enabled and the AUTO icon A will
illuminate white on the Instrument Cluster.
When NSCC detects a curve ahead, activates and reduces the vehicle speed, the AUTO
icon A will turn green. When the vehicle passes the curved road, the vehicle may return to
its previously set SCC speed.
Autoset (Automatic change of set speed) – NSCC automatically changes the set speed of
Smart Cruise Control using the speed limit information of the navigation system* to help you
drive at a safe speed.
REMINDERS:
•When the ignition is cycled, the system returns to its previous on or off state
•When SCC is turned on and operating, NSCC may activate
•NSCC requires an active navigation subscription
•NSCC is only available on controlled access roads and highways
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information. For more setting information, refer to the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide.
NSCC 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.
