ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ADAS)
ADAS
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)†6
FCA is designed to help alert the driver and, under certain conditions, apply
emergency braking when rapidly approaching a vehicle that is slowing down,
braking or stopped or if it detects a pedestrian in front of the vehicle. Initially,
FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) when it detects a potential
collision with a vehicle or pedestrian in front, emitting an audible warning and
visual alert on the instrument cluster
A.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, the FCA
automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping
to reduce the effects of a possible collision.
FCA can be enabled by going to the User Settings > Driver Assistance
> Forward Safety and selecting Active Assist, Warning Only or Off.
The Warning Time can be adjusted by going to User Settings
> Driver Assistance > Warning Time and Normal or Late.
FCA /FCW will become active when the:
§ Engine Start /Stop button is ON
§ Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
§ Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Instrument Cluster LED Warning Messages:
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) / Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) systems are not substitutes for
safe and proper driving. Always drive
safely and use Caution.
FCA and FCW may not always alert the
driver when the vehicle is approaching
another vehicle.
Images are for illustrative purposes
only and may not reflect actual feature
or operation.

for more information.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go†6
The Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go system 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-to-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, the 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.
To set/adjust the SCC speed:
§ Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
§ Press the CRUISE button
A to turn the 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-to-vehicle distance:
§ Press the SCC button
C on the steering wheel
§ Each time you press
C the vehicle-to-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. The LCD screen will display a message that the SCC
operation is canceled.
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the CRUISE button
A. The CRUISE
indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To adjust the sensitivity of the SCC system: 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.
§ The speed setting for the SCC can be adjusted under the following conditions:
§ You must be traveling at a minimum speed of 20 mph
§ When following a vehicle, there is no minimum spee d requirement
§ When following a vehicle, the system can automatically adjust your cruise speed
based on the vehicle detected ahead. If the vehicle detected remains at a standstill
for more than 3 seconds, the system will disable
§ To change the cruise control mode from SCC to standard cruise control, press and
hold button
C. Repeat to switch back to SCC mode ( The SCC system must not be
