Smart Cruise Control (SCC)*† 6 , 21
Smart Cruise Control is designed to maintain a predetermined distance

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.

•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.

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
