Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go*†6 (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 traveling at a minimum speed of 20 mph (may vary on newer models)
•
When following a vehicle, there is no minimum speed requirement
•
When following a vehicle, the system can automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected ahead. If the vehicle detected ahead remains at a standstill and your vehicle is also stopped for longer than 3 seconds, the system will need to be reactivated by pressing the gas pedal or pressing the RES button
QUICK TIPS
REMINDERS:
• NSCC-C requires an active navigation subscription
• NSCC-C is only available on controlled access roads and highways
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control - Curve (NSCC-C) 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 User Settings in the instrument cluster or Vehicle Settings* in the audio head unit, by selecting
Driving Convenience*, Highway Auto Speed Change. When SCC is on and operating, 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
C lu s t er.
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.

Lane Following Assist (LFA)*†6
REMINDERS:
•
If the ignition is cycled, LFA returns to its previous state, on or off, if activated in the User Settings menu and when combined with SCC. If using the Steering Wheel LK A button, then LK A defaults to off
•
LFA is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution
Lane Following Assist (LFA) is designed to help ensure that the vehicle stays centered in its
lane A by monitoring the detected lane markings ahead and adjust the steering. When turned
on, the instrument cluster indicator will initially illuminate white when turned ON, and on
some vehicles, when SCC is engaged. It will remain white when the system does not detect the
lane markers. When the system detects the lane markers and can assist the steering, the LFA
icon will illuminate green B.
LFA will operate only when these conditions are met:
• When the SCC is on and operating
• LK A recognizes both sides of the lane markers the vehicle is traveling in
• The vehicle is traveling slower than 95 mph
LFA User Settings:
• To go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster, press the Mode button C on the
Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift is in Park and with the ignition
on or the Engine Start /Stop button* in the ON position, and select User Settings
• To enable LFA, when in User Settings, press the Move (OK ) button D up/down and
Select Driver Assistance, then Driving Assist, and then Lane Following Assist. Press the
OK button D
• Some models access settings through the Vehicle Settings in the audio head unit. Press the
SETUP hard key on the audio head unit, then VEHICLE on the screen to enter Vehicle
Settings
• Some vehicles have a Lane Driving Assist / Lane Safety button* on the Driver’s Panel or the
Steering Wheel . Press to activate Lane Following Assist
(Buttons located on steering wheel)
Images are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual feature or operation.
LFA is supplemental. Do not solely rely on this system and always pay attention to the road and its conditions.
Actual User Settings steps may vary by model. See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more detailed information, limitations and conditions.
