Highway Driving Assist (HDA)*†7
Highway Driving Assist (HDA) is designed to adjust the speed of the vehicle when driving on limited/
controlled access highways/freeways. 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 the vehicle is traveling on.
To activate HDA, turn Smart Cruise Control (SCC) on by pressing the Driving Assist CRUISE /
Driving Assist Mode button* A on the Steering Wheel. When HDA is activated and the
conditions are met, the Instrument Cluster indicator 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, the Instrument Cluster will show the lanes illuminated
white and the HDA indicator illuminated green B.
If HDA is activated, conditions are met and the SCC speed is set by the driver (at the posted
highway speed limit or slower), HDA will enter the automatic speed setting mode. The set speed
and AUTO will be displayed C in green and an audible alert will sound.
HDA will operate only when these conditions are met:
• The vehicle is traveling slower than 95 mph or the highway speed limit
• When driving on limited/controlled access highways/freeways
• When the SCC is on and operating
• When the SCC speed is set to current posted highway speed or slower

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control - Curve (NSCC-C)*†6a
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control - Curve 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-C, go to the User Settings in the instrument cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in the audio head unit, by
selecting Driving Convenience, Highway Auto Speed Change. When SCC is on and operating, the vehicle is driving on limited/
controlled access highways and NSCC-C is turned on, then NSCC-C is enabled and the AUTO icon A will illuminate white on
the Instrument Cluster.
When NSCC-C 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): If the set speed is set to the current speed limit on the highway during NSCC-C
operation, the set speed is changed automatically whenever the speed limit changes.
REMINDERS: •NSCC-C requires an active navigation subscription •NSCC-C is only available on controlled access roads and highways

Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
The system may have difficulty understanding some 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
(e.g., “John Smith” vs. “Dad,” “Smith Residence” vs. “Home”)
•Avoid using special characters, emojis or hyphenated names (e.g., @,
&, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
•Avoid using acronyms (e.g., “In Case of Emergency” vs. “ICE”) or words
with all capital letters
•Spell words completely, no abbreviations (e.g., “Doctor Smith” vs.
“Dr. Smith”)
• Bluetooth® Music Streaming – If the Bluetooth® music is inaudible or too low, you may need to turn up the volume on the connected phone
• When placing a call, speak in a natural, moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The system may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak too softly or too loudly
• Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands
• Close windows and turn off A /C – Open windows, weather (wind/rain), or an A /C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere with Voice Recognition
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of available commands
