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

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
