If the LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an
audible warning and display a LDW (Lane Departure Warning) alert on the instrument
cluster . If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, the LK A will apply a slight
adjustment to the steering, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane .
LK A is the operating mode by default when the LK A button is
depressed to ON . To switch between modes (Lane Keep Assist,
Active LK A and Lane Departure), go to User Settings in the
Instrument Cluster .
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph
•The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane markers the

DRIVER'S PANEL
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA)†6a
The 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 . Initially, the
FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) when it detects
a potential collision with a vehicle in front, emitting an audible
warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster .
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User
Settings . To turn the FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again
and turn it off .
If the collision risk has increased, the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to
reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a
possible collision . FCA is ON by default and can be turned OFF
in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
The FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Lane Following Assist (LFA) System*)†6a
The Lane Following Assist (LFA) System is designed to help

Once the system starts operating, the indicator light ()
turns on in the instrument cluster . The indicator will display
the colors according to the system status as follows:
Green: ActiveWhite: Standby
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/FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
REMINDERS:
• The FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off
• If the FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA system is automatically turned off
• When FCA system is off, the FCA warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster
REMINDERS:
• If the ignition is cycled, the LFA returns to its previous state, on or off
• The LFA System is not a substitute for safe and proper driving . Always drive safely and use caution

Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
The system may have difficulty understanding
some accents or uncommon names . Improve
the performance by making a few simple
changes to your phone contacts, listed below .
To help optimize the Bluetooth® Wireless

short or single-syllable names (e .g ., “John
Smith” vs . “Dad," “Smith Residence” vs .
“Home”)
•Avoid using special characters, emojis or
hyphenated names (e .g ., @, &, #, /, -, *,
+, etc . )

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go System*† 6 a ,1 8
The Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system allows you to set the vehicle to maintain a speed so long as
it is not limited by traffic . When traffic is encountered, the vehicle may be slowed to help maintain a
set distance behind traffic detected ahead without the driver depressing the brake pedal .
With the 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:
•Push the CRUISE button A to turn system ON . The CRUISE indicator will illuminate on the
instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed .
•Press button B down to set the speed . The SET indicator light will illuminate .The set speed and
vehicle-to-vehicle distance will illuminate on the LCD screen . Press the RES+/SET- button B up/
down to increase/decrease the set speed
To adjust the vehicle-to-vehicle distance setting C: Press the SCC button D on the steering
wheel . The images on the LCD screen E and the Instrument Cluster F will change when scrolling
through the settings . Each time the button is pressed, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance changes .
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button G or press the brake pedal .
The LCD screen will display a message that the SCC operation is canceled H .
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the CRUISE button A . The CRUISE indicator on
the instrument cluster will turn OFF .
• To change the Cruise Control mode from SCC to standard Cruise Control, press and hold button D . Repeat to switch modes again ( The SCC system must not be activated to change modes) .
• For the SCC System to operate, you must be traveling at a minimum speed of 20 mph, when no vehicle is in front .
• The Smart Cruise Control System (SCC) is deactivated when driving under the speed of 6 .0 mph
• When following a vehicle, the system will automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front .
QUICK TIPS
REMINDERS:

In standard Cruise Control, the driver needs to manually assess the distance from other vehicles as the system will not apply brakes to slow down automatically in order to turn SCC ON/OFF

SCC system is activated when ignition is turned on . Speed will need to be reset when ignition is cycled on

The distance settings are approximations and may vary depending on factory settings at the time . See owner’s manual for more information

The SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive) and various other conditions . See owner’s manual for other conditions

If the SCC system is left on, it can be activated inadvertently . Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware
