ADVANCED SMART CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (ASCC) (IF EQUIPPED)
➀ Cruise indicator
➁ Set speed
➂ Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The ASCC allows you to program the
vehicle to maintain a set speed so
long as it is not limited by traffic.
When traffic is encountered the vehi-
cle will slow down to maintain a set
distance behind traffic without
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal.
WARNING - Advanced
Smart Cruise Control
Inadvertent Activation
If the advanced smart cruise
control is left on (CRUISE indi-
cator in the instrument cluster
illuminated), it can be activated
inadvertently. Keep the
advanced smart cruise control
system off (CRUISE indicator
turn off) when the advanced
smart cruise control is not in
use to avoid setting a speed
which the driver is not aware of.WARNING- Advanced
Smart Cruise Control
Limitations
The advanced smart cruise control is a supplemental sys-
tem and is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Do not use the advanced smart cruise control when it
may not be safe to keep the
car at a constant speed, for
instance.
- Highway interchange andtollgate
- Road surrounded by abnor- mally multiple steel con-
structions (subway con-
struction, steel tunnel, etc)
- Parking lot
- Lanes beside guard rail on a road

To increase cruise control set
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever up (to RES+), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
increase by 10 km/h (5 mph).
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever up (to RES+), and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 1.0 km/h (1
mph) each time you move the lever
up (to RES+) in this manner.
ASCC will operate to a maximum setting of 180 km/h (110 mph).
However all local speed limit laws
must be followed.
To decrease the cruise control
set speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever down (to SET-), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
decrease by 10 km/h (5 mph).
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever down (to SET-), and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 1.0 km/h (1
mph) each time you move the lever
down (to SET-) in this manner.
You can set the cruise control to any speed above 30 km/h (20 mph).
To temporarily accelerate with the
cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
If you move the lever down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruising
speed will be set again.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating tem-
porarily, because the speed is not
regulated automatically at this time
even if there is a vehicle in front of
you.

system remember the last vehicle to
vehicle distance which the driver
used in the vehicle with AEB.
The vehicle will maintain the set speed, when the lane ahead is clear.
The vehicle will slow down or speed up within selected speed to maintain
the selected distance, when there is a vehicle ahead of you in the lane. (A

Driving your vehicle
If the vehicle ahead speeds up,your vehicle will travel at a steady
cruising speed after accelerating to
the selected speed.
The warning chime sounds and LCD display blinks if it is hard to
maintain the selected distance to
the vehicle ahead.
If the warning chime sounds, actively adjust the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal
according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition.
Even if the warning chime is not activated, always pay attention to
the driving conditions to prevent
dangerous situations from occur-
ring. If the vehicle ahead (vehicle speed:
less than 30 km/h (20 mph)) moves
to the next lane, the warning chime
