Turning on Smart Cruise Control

Press the Driving Assist button to turn on Smart Cruise Control. The speed will be set to the current speed on the cluster.
-
If there is no vehicle in front of you, the set speed will be maintained.
-
If there is a vehicle in front of you, the speed may be adjusted to maintain the distance to the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead accelerates, your vehicle will travel at a steady cruising speed after accelerating to the set speed.

If your vehicle speed is between 0~20 mph (0~30 km/h) when you press the Driving Assist button, the set speed will be set to 20 mph (30 km/h).
Setting vehicle distance

Each time the button is pressed, the headway changes as follows:

For example, if you drive at 90 km/h (56 mph), the distance is maintained as follows:
-
Distance 4: approximately 172 ft. (52.5 m)
-
Distance 3: approximately 130 ft. (40 m)
-
Distance 2: approximately 106 ft. (32.5 m)
-
Distance 1: approximately 82 ft. (25 m)

The distance is set to the last set distance when the vehicle is restarted, or when Smart Cruise Control was temporarily canceled.
Increasing set speed

-
Push the (+) switch up and release it immediately. The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1 km/h) each time the switch is operated in this manner.

Push the (+) switch up and hold it. The set speed will increase by 5 mph (10 km/h) each time the switch is operated in this manner.
You can increase the set speed to 120 mph (200 km/h).

Check the driving condition before using the (+) switch. Driving speed may sharply increase when you push up, hold the (+) switch and change the speed fast.
Decreasing set speed

-
Push the (-) switch down and release it immediately. The set speed will decrease by 1 mph (1 km/h) each time the switch is operated in this manner.
