QR CODEBlind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)*†6
BCW uses rear corner radar sensors in the rear bumper to monitor
and warn the driver, in certain situations, if it detects an approaching
vehicle in the driver’s blind spot area. The BCW System is ON when
the button A is pressed – the button light will illuminate. The outside
rearview mirror warning lights will also illuminate for 3 seconds.
To activate BCW, go to User Settings by pressing the Mode button on
the Steering Wheel. Select Driver Assistance > Blind-Spot Safety and
then press the OK button. Select Warning Only or Off.
The system will become active when the vehicle is traveling more
than 20 mph and will warn the driver if another vehicle is detected by
the radar sensor.
1st-stage warning: When another vehicle is detected within the
blind-spot area B, or when a vehicle is detected closing at high
speed, a yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview
mirrors.
2nd-stage warning: When 1st-stage warning is on and the driver
activates a turn signal, a flashing yellow indicator will illuminate on
the outside rearview mirrors and the system will sound a warning.
REMINDERS: •
BCW will not issue a warning if the vehicle speed is 6 mph or more than the speed of the surrounding vehicles •
When BCW is ON and the ignition is cycled, BCW returns to its previous state •
The BCW warning sound can be adjusted in User Settings •

QUICK TIPS
Idle, Stop & Go (ISG) System*
The ISG system is designed to help reduce fuel consumption by automatically
shutting down the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When the ISG system is ON, the vehicle is at a standstill, and all preconditions
have been met, the engine will stop and the green AUTO STOP indicator
on the instrument cluster will illuminate.
The engine will restart when the brake pedal is released or the shift lever is
moved from D (Drive) to the R (Reverse) position or to Manual Shift mode*.
When engine restarts, the green AUTO STOP indicator on the instrument
cluster will turn off.
To deactivate the ISG System, press the ISG OFF button A (LED lit). If you
press again, the system will be activated.
For more information on Idle, Stop and Go System, refer to section 2 in the Owner’s Manual or contact your local dealership.
REMINDERS:
•
When the AUTO STOP indicator illuminates solid yellow, the system is activated without faults, but will not operate until all the conditions are met
•
ISG is active by default at vehicle start-up. When ignition is cycled, ISG will turn ON again
•
Under certain conditions, the engine will restart automatically even if the brake pedal is still depressed
•

Smart Cruise Control (SCC)*† 6 , 21
Smart Cruise Control is designed to maintain a predetermined distance
from vehicles it detects detected ahead by automatically adjusting
the driving speed as needed. When traffic is detected, the vehicle will
automatically slow to maintain a set distance behind traffic without
depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
To set/adjust the SCC speed:
•Push the Driving Assist button A to turn system ON. The
CRUISE indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster
•Press the SET- button B to set the speed. Press the RES+/SET-
button B up/down to increase/decrease the set speed
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button C on the steering wheel.
The images on the LCD screen D in the Instrument Cluster will change when scrolling through
the settings. Each time the button is pressed, the vehicle distance changes E.
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button F or press the brake pedal.
To turn SCC OFF: Press the Driving Assist button A. The CRUISE indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To adjust the sensitivity of SCC: Press the mode button on the Steering Wheel G. With the OK button H,
select Drive Assistance, then SCC Response. Then select Fast, Normal or Slow.
•
•To change the Cruise Control mode from SCC to standard Cruise Control, press and hold button A. Repeat to switch modes again (SCC must not be activated to change modes)
•For the SCC System to operate, the vehicle must be traveling at a minimum speed of 5 mph
•When following a vehicle, the system will automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front. It may bring the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary. If the vehicle stops for more than 3 seconds, the system will disable
QUICK TIPSREMINDERS:
•SCC only operates at speeds above 6 mph
•
SCC is activated when ignition is turned on. Speed will need to be reset when ignition is cycled ON
•
In standard Cruise Control, the driver needs to manually assess the distance from other vehicles as the system will not apply brakes to slow down automatically in order to turn SCC ON/OFF
•
SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive) and various other conditions. See Owner’s Manual for other conditions
•
If the SCC system 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

•Avoid using special characters, emojis or hyphenated names (@, &, #, /, -,
*, +, etc.)
•Avoid using acronyms (“In Case of Emergency” vs. “ICE”) or words with all
capital letters
•Spell words completely, no abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”)
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology† 5 , 21 (continued)

•The system may register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices. See the Car Multimedia System User’s Manual for more information on setup and limitations

Driving while distracted is dangerous and should be avoided. Drivers should remain attentive to driving and always exercise caution when using the steering-wheel-mounted controls while driving. To help minimize driver distraction, some audio system functionalities have been modified while the vehicle is in Drive, Reverse or moved out of Park.

•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 •When connected to Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay® on your smartphone, the smartphone’s navigation system may also be available •A warning screen may appear periodically to remind users that the audio system should be operated when the engine is running to prevent battery discharge •Prolonged use of the audio control unit in ACC mode may drain the vehicle’s battery
