Smart cruise control system (SCC)Driving your vehicle / Smart cruise control system (SCC)
➀ Cruise indicator
➁ SET indicator
➂ Set speed
➃ Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The SCC allows you to program the vehicle to maintain a set speed so long as it is not limited by traffic. When traffic is encountered the vehicle will slow down to maintain a set distance behind traffic without depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
If the smart cruise control is left on (CRUISE indicator light in the instrument cluster illuminated), it can be activated inadvertently. Keep the smart cruise control system off (CRUISE indicator light OFF) when the smart cruise control is not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware of.
- The smart cruise control is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving practices. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
- Do not use the smart cruise control when it may not be safe to keep the car at a constant speed, for instance, driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-covered) or winding roads or over 6% up-hill or down-hill roads.
- The smart cruise control system cannot recognize a stopped vehicle, pedestrians or an oncoming vehicle. Always look ahead cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring.
- Use the smart cruise control system only when traveling on open highways in good weather conditions.
