down for other vehicles.
When the system is canceled using
the CRUISE button or the CRUISE
button is used after the engine is
turned on, the Smart Cruise Control
mode will turn on.

Limitations of the system

The smart cruise control system may
have limits to its ability to detect dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead due to
road and traffic conditions.

On curves

• On curves, the smart cruise control

system may not detect a moving
vehicle in your lane, and then your
vehicle could accelerate to the set
speed. Also, the vehicle speed will
rapidly slow down when the vehicle
ahead is recognized suddenly.

• Select the appropriate set speed

on curves and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving
condition.

Driving your vehicle

• Your vehicle speed can be reduced

due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal
according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition. Apply
the accelerator pedal and select
the appropriate set speed. Check
to be sure that the road conditions
permit safe operation of the smart
cruise control system.

On inclines

• During uphill or downhill driving, the

smart cruise control system may
not detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and cause your vehicle to
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will rapidly slow
down when the vehicle ahead is
recognized suddenly.

• Select the appropriate set speed

on inclines and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead.

Lane changing

• A vehicle which moves into your

lane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.

• The sensor may not detect imme-

diately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.

• If a vehicle which moves into your

lane is slower than your vehicle,
your speed may decrease to main-
tain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.

• If a vehicle which moves into your

lane is faster than your vehicle,
your vehicle will accelerate to the
selected speed.

• Your vehicle may accelerate when

a vehicle ahead of you disappears.

• When you are warned that the

vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution.

Vehicle recognition

Some vehicles ahead in your lane
cannot be recognized by the sensor
as follows:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-

cles or bicycles

- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-

decelerating vehicles

- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such

as trailers with no loads

Driving your vehicle

A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
-

When the vehicle is pointing

upwards due to overloading in the
liftgate

- While making turns by steering
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on

curves

Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal accord-
ing to the road condition ahead and
driving condition.

• When vehicles are at a standstill

and the vehicle in front of you
changes to the next lane, be care-
ful when your vehicle starts to
move because it may not recognize
the stopped vehicle in front of you.
In this case, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.

• Always look out for pedestrians

when your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead.

WARNING

- Inclines &

Towing

Do not use smart cruise control
system on steep inclines or
when towing another vehicle or
trailer since such extreme load-
ing can interfere with your vehi-
cle's ability to maintain the
selected speed.

WARNING

- Safe Use of smart cruise

control system

The smart cruise control system
can provide you with an addition-
al level of safety and fatigue
reduction. However you must
maintain careful observation of
the roadway in front and around
you and maintain control of your
vehicle and spacing around
other vehicles as you normally
would. For example, this will
require you to apply the brakes
as needed when coming upon a
slower moving vehicle, or when a
vehicle from another lane drives
quickly in front of you.

Driving your vehicle

- After an engine start, please stop

for several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
smart cruise control system does
not normally operate.

- After an engine start, if any objects

are not detected or the sensor
cover is obscured with foreign sub-
stances, there is a possibility that
the smart cruise control system
system may not work.

- The following conditions may

cause a malfunction: over-loading
the liftgate, suspension modifica-
tion, tire replacement with unau-
thorized tires or tires with different
tread wear and pressure levels.

- The smart cruise control system

cannot guarantee the stop for
every emergency situation.
If an emergency stop is necessary,
you must apply the brakes.

- Keep a safe distance according to

road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during a high-speed driv-
ing, a serious collision may result.

- The smart cruise control system

cannot recognize a stopped vehi-
cle, pedestrians or an oncoming
vehicle. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected and
suddensituations from occurring.

- When other vehicles are changing

lanes in front of you frequently, the
smart cruise control system may
not operate appropriately. Always
look ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring.

- The smart cruise control system is

not a substitute for safedriving
practices but a convenience func-
tion only. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
speed and the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.

- Always be aware of the selected

speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance.

- Always maintain sufficient braking

distance and decelerate your vehi-
cle by applying the brakes if neces-
sary.
