Re: Smart Cruise Control

Yes it does have it on our HEV. Not sure if it is on MHEV or vanilla ICE only even if they did premium variants for those.

Re: Using media while parked on ACC start button position.

How long would you want sit in the car with no heating?
If it's more than a few minutes why not just leave the car on?
