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, the accelerator pedal or the button
must be pressed to start moving the vehicle. SCC will accelerate the vehicle speed based on the Drive Mode selected on the Drive Mode Integrated Control System.
SCC can be set 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 is in the on position.
