In traffic situation
In traffic, your vehicle will stop if thevehicle 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
toggle switch (RES+) to start driving.
If you push the advanced smart cruise control toggle switch (RES+
or SET-) while Auto Hold and
advanced smart cruise control is
operating (The green AUTO HOLD
indicator), Auto Hold will be
released regardless of accelerator
pedal operation and the vehicle will
start to move.
Sensor to detect distance to
the vehicle ahead
The Smart Cruise Control uses a
sensor to detect distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the area in front of the
sensor clean.

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 Systemmay not detect a moving vehicle in
your lane, and then your vehicle
could accelerate to the original 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 original 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 yourlane 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 such
as:
- 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 pointingupwards 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.

WARNING
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 Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driv-
er of an approaching vehicle in the
driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
an indicator on the outside side view
mirrors. (1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range
varies relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travel-
ing much faster than the vehicles
around you, the warning will not
occur.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist) The Lane Change Assist feature
will alert you when a vehicle is
approaching in an adjacent lane
at a high rate of speed. If the driv-
er activates the turn signal when
the system detects an oncoming
vehicle, the system sounds an
audible alert.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) The Rear Cross Traffic Alert fea-
ture monitors approaching cross
traffic from the left and right side
of the vehicle when your vehicle is
moving in reverse. The feature will
operate when the vehicle is mov-
ing in reverse below about 6 mph
(10 km/h). If oncoming cross traf-
fic is detected, a warning chime
will sound.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)

tal system to assist you. Do
not entirely rely on the sys-
tem. Always pay attention,
while driving, for your safety.
The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe driv-
ing. Always drive safely and
