Driving your vehicle

- Driving on a slope
The AEB performance decreases
while driving upward or downward on
a slope, not recognizing the vehicle
in front in the same lane. It may
unnecessarily produce the warning
message and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarm at all.
When the AEB suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front while passing
over a slope, you may experience
sharp deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal.

- Changing lanes
Even though the vehicle in the next
lane enters into your lane, it may not
be recognized by the AEB, until it
enters the AEB sensing range.
Especially when the vehicle in the
next lane abruptly enters into your
lane, it is more likely not be recog-
nized. Always be attentive to driving
conditions.

When the stopped vehicle in front
gets out of the lane, it may not be
recognized by your AEB. Always be
attentive to driving conditions.

- Recognizing the vehicle
When the vehicle in front has heavy
loading extended rearward, or when
the vehicle in front has higher ground
clearance, it may induce a haz-
ardous situation.

Recognizing pedestrians

- The pedestrian is not fully captured

by the camera sensor, or the
pedestrian does not walk in the
upright position.

- The pedestrian moves very fast.
- The pedestrian abruptly appears in

front.

- The pedestrian wears clothes sim-

ilar in color to the background.

- Conditions outside are too bright or

too dark.

- The vehicle drives at night or in the

darkness.

- There is an item similar in shape a

person’s body structure.

- The pedestrian is small.
- The pedestrian has impaired

mobility.

- The pedestrian blends in with their

surroundings.

- Sensor recognition is limited by

rain, snow, fog, etc.

- There is a group of pedestrians.

The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).
If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster illuminated) the cruise
control can be switched on acciden-
tally. Keep the cruise control system
off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in use,
to avoid inadvertently setting a
speed.
Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving in heavy or varying traffic, or
on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-
ered) or winding roads or over 6%
up-hill or down-hill roads.

✽

✽

NOTICE

• During normal cruise control

operation, when the SET switch is
activated or reactivated after
applying the brakes, the cruise
control will energize after approx-
imately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.

• To activate cruise control, depress

the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
This is to check if the brake switch
which is important part to cancel
cruise control is in normal condi-
tion.

The Lane Keeping Assist System
detects lane markers on the road,
and assists the driver’s steering to
help keep the vehicle between lanes.

When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.

• The steering wheel is not continu-

ously controlled so if the vehicle
speed is very fast when leaving a
lane the vehicle may not be con-
trolled by the system.

• It is the responsibility of the driver

to drive safely.

• Do not steer the steering wheel

suddenly when the steering wheel
is being assisted by the system.

• LKAS prevents the driver from

moving out of the lane unintention-
ally by assisting the driver's steer-
ing. However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention on the steer-
ing wheel to stay in the lane.

• Always check the road condition

and surroundings and be cautious
when the system cancels, does not
operate or malfunctions.

• Do not place any accessories,

stickers or tint the windshield near
the rearview mirror.

LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
