Smart Cruise Control is designed to maintain a 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 the 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 system 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.

•Press the Driving Assist CRUISE button A to turn system ON and set speed. The CRUISE indicator
will illuminate on the instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
•Press (SET-) button B down to set speed. The set speed and vehicle distance will illuminate on
the LCD screen
•Press button B up or down to adjust the set speed
To adjust the sensitivity of SCC: Press the Mode/Menu button on the Steering Wheel C. With the
OK button, when in User Settings mode, select Driver Assistance, then SCC Reaction. Then select Slow, Normal or Fast.
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button D on the steering wheel. The image on the LCD screen E
will change when scrolling through the settings.
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button F or press the brake pedal. The CRUISE indicator on the instrument
cluster will turn OFF.
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the Driving Assist CRUISE button A. The CRUISE indicator on the instrument cluster will
turn OFF.
To switch modes: Press and hold button D for more than two seconds to switch between standard Cruise Control
and Smart Cruise Control.
