SmartCruise
SmartCruise
SmartCruise is an optional enhancement to the Eaton VORAD system. Smart-
Cruise will maintain a selected following interval between the host vehicle and
the vehicle ahead. SmartCruise is activated whenever the vehicle’s standard
cruise control system is activated, the system is turned on, and a vehicle is
detected within 3 seconds ahead in the lane of travel of the host vehicle. When
SmartCruise begins to actively adjust the host vehicle speed, the green “S/C”
(SmartCruise) light on the Driver Display will illuminate.
SmartCruise will not react to stationary objects and it does not have the
capability to bring the vehicle to a stop.
SmartCruise may operate the engine brake without warning. Do not operate
this feature in slippery or wet conditions where sudden braking could cause
loss of control.
Note the warning below in your vehicle. It is there to remind you of the safe
use of SmartCruise.
