Smart Cruise Control is designed to maintain a predetermined distance from vehicles detected ahead by automatically adjusting the driving speed in certain circumstances.
When traffic is detected, the vehicle is designed to automatically slow to maintain a set distance from traffic without depressing the accelerator or brake pedal. If SCC detects that the driver is attempting to overtake a vehicle in front, SCC may help by assisting acceleration.

SCC Operation: When SCC is on and activated, the vehicle distance set, and the system detects a vehicle slowing or stopping, SCC can bring the vehicle to a complete stop. When the vehicle ahead starts to move forward, SCC reengages. If the vehicle ahead stops for more than 3 seconds, depress the accelerator pedal or operate the button
switch to start moving the vehicle.
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 is in the on position.
