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 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 the SCC speed:
§ Press the Driving Assist CRUISE button A to turn the system ON.
The CRUISE indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster
§ Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
§ Press the SE T– 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.
§ Each time you press C the vehicle distance will change D, indicated by the number of bars that
appear on the display E
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button F or press the brake pedal.
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: Press the mode button G on the Steering Wheel. With the OK button H,
select Drive Assistance, then SCC Response. Then select Fast, Normal or Slow.
