Smart Cruise Control allows you to
program the vehicle to help maintain the
desired speed and minimum distance
between the vehicle ahead.
Smart Cruise Control will automatically
adjust your vehicle speed to maintain
your programmed speed and following
distance without requiring you to
depress the accelerator or brake pedals.
WARNING
For your safety, please read the owner's
manual before using Smart Cruise
Control.
WARNING
Smart Cruise Control is not a substitute
for safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
check the speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
• Always set the vehicle speed under
the speed limit in your country.
• If Smart Cruise Control is left on,
(cruise () indicator

can be activated unintentionally.
Keep Smart Cruise Control off (cruise
(
) indicator light OFF)
when Smart Cruise Control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently setting a
speed.
• Use Smart Cruise Control only when
traveling on open highways in good
weather.
