Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is designed to maintain a speed and 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, the vehicle distance set, and 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 SCC speed:
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
•Press the Driving Assist CRUISE button A to turn system ON. The CRUISE indicator
will illuminate on the instrument cluster
•Press SET- button B down to set speed. The SET indicator light will illuminate.
The set speed and vehicle distance will illuminate on the LCD screen
•Press button B up or down to adjust the set speed
To set the vehicle distance C: Press the Vehicle Distance button D on the steering
wheel. The image on the LCD screen E will change when scrolling through the settings.
Each time the button is pressed, the vehicle distance changes E.
To cancel SCC operation: Press button B or press the brake pedal. The LCD screen will
display a message that the SCC operation is canceled.
To turn SCC OFF: Press the Driving Assist CRUISE button A. The CRUISE indicator on
the instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To adjust the sensitivity of SCC (if equipped): Press the Mode/Menu button F on
the Steering Wheel. When in User Settings, select Driver Assistance, then SCC Reaction.

•The system can register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices
•Volume level between different audio modes:
– When switching between audio modes (AM, FM, Bluetooth® Audio, etc.), the audio system saves the previous volume level you were listening to. For example, if you were listening to FM radio at volume level 20 then switched to BT Audio and adjusted the volume level to 30, the volume level will be at 20 when you switch back to FM radio
– When using Bluetooth® Audio, the overall volume is dependent on your device’s volume. If the volume is turned down low on your device it will remain low even if the system volume is turned up

applying braking inputs, allowing drivers to concentrate on
steering.
Press button A to turn DBC ON/OFF.
When you select AWD LOCK mode (indicator is illuminated) by pressing the AWD
LOCK button B, the AWD LOCK mode increases the drive power when driving on wet
pavement, snow-covered roads and/or on unpaved roads.
• This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, driving on unpaved roads,
driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc., to improve traction
• This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 38 mph and is shifted
to AWD AUTO mode at speeds above 38 mph. If the vehicle decelerates to speeds
below approximately 38 mph, however, the transfer mode is shifted into AWD LOCK
mode again
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power is
delivered entirely to the front wheels. This shock is not a mechanical failure.
The AWD system is a supplemental system only. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully depending on road and traffic conditions.
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
