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)*†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
HDA User Settings:
To enable HDA, press the Mode button D on the Steering Wheel and go to User Settings
in the Instrument Cluster. Press the Move (OK ) button E up/down and press to Driver Assistance,
then Driving Assist, Highway Driving Assist. Then press the OK button E to enable.
Some models access settings through the Vehicle Settings in the audio head unit. Press the Setup
hard key on the audio head unit, then press VEHICLE on the screen to enter Vehicle Settings.
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 section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more detailed information, limitations and conditions.

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
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-C 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.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go*†7, 2 0 (Continued)
REMINDERS: •
The cruise control system will not activate until the brake pedal has been depressed at least once after the ignition is ON or engine starting •
When following a vehicle, the system will automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front •
SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive), EPB is activated and various other conditions. See the Owner’s Manual for other conditions •
If SCC is left on, it can be activated inadvertently. Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware of •
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
•
The speed setting for SCC can be adjusted under the following conditions:
•You must be travelling at a minimum speed of 20 mph (may vary on newer models)
•
When following a vehicle, there is no minimum speed requirement
•
