•When the SCC speed is set to current highway and controlled/limited access roads
•The vehicle is traveling slower than 110 mph
•
When driving on limited access highways, such as, Interstate, Federal and State freeways
•When SCC is on and operating
When HDA is activated and the conditions are met, the Instrument Cluster indicator light B will illuminate green. If the conditions are not met, HDA will be in standby mode and the indicator light B will illuminate white.
When in operation, and if both lanes are recognized, a display C will show the lanes illuminated white and the steering wheel indicator illuminated green.
If HDA is activated and conditions are met, HDA will enter the automatic speed setting mode. The set speed and AUTO will be displayed D in green and an audible alert will sound.
REMINDERS:
•
Current highway speeds and controlled or limited access roads information may var y. Future navigation updates may change this information. See owner ’s manual for more information
•When the ignition is cycled, the system returns to its previous state, on or off

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA)†6 a
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) is designed to warn the driver under certain conditions. It may activate the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and temporarily apply braking if it detects cross traffic approaching the vehicle when the vehicle is in reverse.
When the RCCA rear-corner radar sensors detect approaching vehicles from the rear left or rear right side of the vehicle A, RCCA will sound a warning, the warning indicators on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate and a message will appear on the Instrument Cluster LCD B and the audio head unit.* If RCCA detects that the collision risk has increased, RCCA automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision.
RCCA is designed to operate under the following conditions:
•When the gear shift is in Reverse
•When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph
RCCA User Settings:
•To go to the User Settings menu in the Instrument Cluster, press the Mode button C on the Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift in Park and with the ignition on or the Engine Start/Stop button* in the ON position, and select User Settings
