ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (ADAS)
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 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 AUTO icon A (nex t
page) in the NSCC indicator turns green . 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:
To turn on/set/adjust the NSCC speed: Press the Driving Assist button C on the Steering Wheel to activate NSCC and the speed will be set to the current vehicle speed . NSCC may decrease the speed to maintain the distance with the vehicle in front . The CRUISE indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster .
Press the + – button B up/down to accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed . Press the button B to set the speed .
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button D on the steering wheel . Each time you press the button, the vehicle distance will change G, indicated by the number of bars that appear on the display A .
To pause/resume NSCC operation: Depress the brake pedal or press the Pause/Resume button + – B . The cruise indicator on the instrument cluster will change .
To turn NSCC OFF: Press the Driving Assist button C . The CRUISE indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF .
To adjust the sensitivity of NSCC: Press the mode button E on the Steering Wheel . With the OK button F, select Drive Assistance, then NSCC Response . Then select Fast, Normal or Slow .
