your vehicle will travel at a steady
cruising speed after accelerating to
the set speed.(Continued)
If the warning chime sounds,
depress the accelerator or
brake pedal to actively adjust
the vehicle speed, and the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead.
Even if the warning chime is
not activated, always pay
attention to the driving condi-
tions to prevent dangerous
situations from occurring.

In traffic situation
In traffic, your vehicle will stop if the
vehicle ahead of you stops. Also, if
the vehicle ahead of you starts mov-
ing, your vehicle will start as well.
However, if the vehicle stops for
more than 3 seconds, you must
depress the accelerator pedal or
push up the lever (RES+) to start
driving.
Sensor to detect distance to
the vehicle ahead
The Smart Cruise Control uses a

Sensor warning message
If the sensor or cover is dirty or
obscured with foreign matter such as
snow, this message will appear. In
this case, the system may not func-
tion temporarily, but it does not indi-
cate a malfunction of the Smart
Cruise Control System. Clean the
sensor or cover by using a soft cloth.
SCC (Smart Cruise Control)
malfunction message
The message will appear when the
vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.
Do not install accessories
around the sensor and do not

Limitations of the system
The Smart Cruise Control System
may have limits to its ability to detect
distance to the vehicle ahead due to
road and traffic conditions.
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
decrease when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed
on curves and apply the brakes or
accelerator pedal if necessary.Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Apply the accelerator pedal and
select the appropriate set speed.
Check to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of the
Smart Cruise Control.

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
decrease when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed
on inclines and apply the brake or
accelerator pedal if necessary.
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 slower vehicle moves into your
lane, your speed may decrease to
maintain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.
If a faster vehicle which moves into
your lane, your vehicle will acceler-
ate to the set speed.
Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles in your lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor:
- 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 the steering wheel is operat-
ing
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on
curves
Apply the brake or accelerator pedal
if necessary. 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. 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 from the
back of the vehicle.
ODH053099ODH053100
When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following pre-
cautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes. The vehicle cannot be
stopped at every emergency
situation by using the Smart
Cruise Control System.
Keep a safe distance accord-
ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close
during a high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
Always maintain sufficient
braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.

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 steering
wheel vibration warning, while apply-
ing a slight counter-steering torque,
trying to prevent the vehicle from
moving out of its lane.

Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist System (LKAS):
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system.
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKAS prevents the driver
from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting
the driver's steering. However,
the driver should not solely
rely on the system but always
pay attention on the steering
wheel to stay in the lane.
(Continued)
WARNING
The lane keeping assist system
is not a substitute for safe driv-
ing practices, but a conven-
ience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always be aware of the sur-
rounding and steer the vehicle.

LKAS operation
To operate:
Press the LKAS button with the
Engine Start/Stop button in the ON
position. The indicator (white) illumi-
nates on the cluster.
To cancel:
Press the LKAS button again. The
indicator on the cluster will go off. (Continued)
Always check the road condi-
tion 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.
The system detects lane lines
and controls the steering
wheel by a camera, therefore,
if the lane lines are hard to
detect, the system may not
work properly.
Please refer to "Driver's
Attention".
Do not remove the LKAS parts
and do not damage the sen-
sor.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-
tion if the sunlight is reflected.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The operation of the LKAS
can be affected by several fac-
tors (including environmental
conditions). It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to pay
attention to the roadway and
to maintain the vehicle in its
lane at all times.
Always have your hands on
the steering wheel while the
LKAS system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep hands
on steering wheel" warning
illumination, the system will
turn off automatically.
Always be cautious when
using the system.
