Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control will help automatically adjust vehicle speed when driving on highways with posted speed
limits by using road information from the navigation system, while Smart Cruise Control is operating
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) 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
Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown: NSCC can automatically adjust the vehicle speed when it detects a curved road ahead and
when it receives road information from the navigation system When NSCC detects a curve ahead, NSCC activates and reduces the
vehicle speed, and the NAV icon changes to AUTO and turns green A in the instrument cluster When the vehicle passes the curved
road, the vehicle may return to its previously set speed
Highway Auto Speed Change: If the set speed is set to the current posted speed limit on the highway during NSCC operation,
the set speed is changed automatically whenever the posted speed limit changes and when it receives information from the
navigation system
SCC Operation: With SCC turned 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 button B must be pressed to start moving the vehicle
SCC will adjust acceleration based on the drive mode selected in the Drive Mode Integrated Control system
NSCC Settings:
•NSCC can be turned on/off by going to the Vehicle Settings*
in the Infotainment System
•Only adjust settings when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear
shift is in Park and the ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop
button* in the on position
