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
