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
 •To access Vehicle settings* in the Infotainment System  -  
Press the SETUP key or the onscreen SETUP button  Press  
VEHICLE to enter Vehicle Settings   Select Driver Assistance
