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.

• Use the ASCC only when traveling

on open highways in good weather.

• Limited visibility (rain, snow, smog,

etc)

• Cruise function should not be used

when the vehicle is being towed to
prevent any damage.

Advanced Smart Cruise
Control inadvertent acti-
vation.

If the ASCC is left on, (CRUISE
indicator light in the instrument
cluster illuminated) the ASCC
can be activated unintentional-
ly. Keep the ASCC off (CRUISE
indicator light OFF) when the
ASCC is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed
which can increase the risk of
accidents.

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, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or steep hills
up-hill or down-hill roads.

Speed setting (ASCC)

To set cruise control speed:

1.Move the lever up (to CRUISE), to

turn the system on. The CRUISE
indicator light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate.

2. Accelerate to the desired speed.

• 20 mph (30 km/h) ~ 110 mph

(180 km/h) : when there is no
vehicle in front

• 0 mph (0 km/h) ~ 110 mph (180

km/h) : when there is a vehicle in
front

3.Lever must be moved down (to

SET-) prior to setting any desired
speed. The set speed and vehicle
to vehicle distance on the LCD
screen will illuminate.

4.Release the accelerator pedal. The

desired speed will automatically be
maintained.

If there is a vehicle in front of you, the
speed may decrease to maintain the
distance to the vehicle ahead.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
slow down or speed up slightly while
going uphill or downhill.

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 5 mph (10 km/h).
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 mph (1.0
km/h) each time you move the
lever up (to RES+) in this manner.

• ASCC will operate to a maximum

setting of 110 mph (180 km/h).
However all local speed limit laws
must be followed.

Driving your vehicle

This system detects the lane with a
sensor at the front windshield and
notifies you if it detects that your
vehicle leaves the lane.

• The LDWS does not make the

vehicle change lanes. It is the dri-
ver's responsibility to always check
the road conditions.

• If the sensor cannot detect the lane

or if the vehicle speed does not
exceed 38 mph (60 km/h), the
LDWS will not be able to notify you
if the vehicle leaves the lane.

• If your vehicle has window tint or

other types of coating on the front
windshield, the LDWS may not
work properly.

• Prevent damage to the LDWS sen-

sor from water or any liquid.

• Do not remove the LDWS parts

and do not damage the sensor by
a strong impact.

• Do not put objects that reflect light

on the dash board.

• Always check the road conditions

because you may not hear the
warning chime because of audio
and external conditions.

• The operation of the LDWS can be

affected by several factors (includ-
ing environmental conditions). It is
the responsibility of the driver to
pay attention to the roadway and to
maintain the vehicle in it's lane at
all times.

LDWS Alert

The LDWS is only intended to
provide you with information
regarding your vehicle's posi-
tion on the roadway. Upon
receiving an LDWS alert, you
must take the necessary steps
to maintain control of your vehi-
cle. The LDWS does not provide
any steering inputs into the
