  • Green: If the operating conditions are satisfied

  • Blinking Green: While the speed is being controlled

  • Gray: If NSCC cannot control the vehicle, such as when SCC is temporarily canceled or the navigation system is searching for a route

  • Blinking White: When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal

Highway Safety Zone Auto Slowdown

If SCC operates with a set speed exceeding the speed limit on a highway, the function automatically decelerates the vehicle to the speed limit in safety zones. After passing safety zones, the vehicle returns to the set speed for SCC.

  • The deceleration start time depends on the vehicle speed and the speed limit. The higher the vehicle speed, the earlier the start of deceleration.

  • Highway Safety Zone Auto Slowdown only reacts to speed cameras that are specified by the navigation system. Refer to the infotainment system user manual for details on how to configure speed camera settings for the navigation system.

  • If the vehicle's average speed exceeds the speed limit in a speed control zone, NSCC automatically decreases the vehicle speed to a level below the speed limit.

  • In mobile speed control zones, the vehicle speed may be maintained at the speed limit for a certain amount of time after a speed control alert, to ensure occupant safety.

  • An audible alarm may sound if Highway Safety Zone Auto Slowdown is decelerating the vehicle but the vehicle speed is still higher than the speed limit.

  • For more information on how to operate SCC, refer to Smart Cruise Control (SCC).

Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown

Depending on the curve ahead on the highway, your vehicle decelerates, and after passing the curve, your vehicle accelerates to SCC's set speed.

  • Vehicle deceleration time may differ depending on the vehicle speed and the degree of the curve on the road. The higher the driving speed, deceleration starts faster.
