• 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
trunk

- 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 recog-
nize the stopped vehicle in front of
you.

• Always look out for pedestrians

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

• Always be cautious for vehicles

with higher height or vehicles car-
rying loads that sticks out to the
back of the vehicle.

- After an engine start, please stop

for several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
SCC 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 SCC system may not work.

- Below conditions are not allowed:

over baggage loading in a trunk,
suspension remodeling, tire
replacement with unauthorized
tires or tires with different worn-out
and pressure levels.

OYP054151N

WARNING

- Safe Use of

SCC

The SCC can provide you with
an additional level of safety and
fatigue reduction. However you
must maintain careful observa-
tion of the roadway in from of
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 vehi-
cle from another lane drives
quickly in front of you.

WARNING

- Inclines &

Towing

Do not use SCC on steep
inclines or when towing another
vehicle or trailer since such
extreme loading can interfere
with your vehicle's ability to
maintain the selected speed.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS) (IF EQUIPPED)

This system detects the lane with a
sensor at the front windshield and
notifies you if it detects that your
vehicle leaves the lane.

• The LDWS does not make the

vehicle change lanes. It is the dri-
ver's responsibility to always check
the road conditions.

• If the sensor cannot detect the lane

or if the vehicle speed does not
exceed 44 mph (70 km/h), the
LDWS will not be able to notify you
if the vehicle leaves the lane.

• If your vehicle has window tint or

other types of coating on the front
windshield, the LDWS may not
work properly.

• Prevent damage to the LDWS sen-

sor from water or any liquid.

• Do not remove the LDWS parts

and do not damage the sensor by
a strong impact.

• Do not put objects that reflect light

on the dash board.

• The operation of the LDWS can be

affected by several factors (includ-
ing environmental conditions). It is
the responsibility of the driver to
pay attention to the roadway and to
maintain the vehicle in it's lane at
all times.

WARNING

- LDWS Alert

The LDWS is only intended to
provide you with information
regarding your vehicle's posi-
tion on the roadway. Upon
receiving an LDWS alert, you
must take the necessary steps
to maintain control of your vehi-
cle. The LDWS does not provide
any steering inputs into the
vehicle for you. It can be dan-
gerous to make a large sudden
steering input in response to an
alert, since that could result in
loss of control.
