When there is a vehicle aheadof you in your lane:
Your vehicle speed will slow down
or speed up to maintain the select-
ed distance.
If the vehicle ahead speeds up, your vehicle will travel at a steady
cruising speed after accelerating to
the set speed.

When using the Smart Cruise
Control System:
The warning chime sounds
and the Vehicle-to Vehicle
Distance indicator blinks if
the vehicle is unable to main-
tain the selected distance
from the vehicle ahead.
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.

Driving your vehicle
In traffic situation
In traffic, your vehicle will stop if thevehicle ahead of you stops. Also, if
the vehicle ahead of you starts
moving, 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 Auto Hold will be
released regardless of accelerator
pedal operation and the vehicle will
start to move. The AUTO HOLD
indicator changes from green to
white.

If the vehicle ahead (vehicle
speed: less than 20 mph
(30km/h)) disappears to the next
lane, the warning chime will
sound and a message "Watch
for surrounding vehicles" will
appear. Adjust your vehicle
speed for vehicles or objects
that can suddenly appear in
front of you by depressing the
brake pedal.
Always pay attention to the road
condition ahead.

Front Radar Sensor
The Smart Cruise Control uses a
radar to detect distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
Warning message
Smart Cruise Control disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
Smart Cruise Control System opera-
tion may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display. Remove
any dirt, snow, or debris and clean
the radar sensor lens cover before
operating the Smart Cruise Control
System.The Smart Cruise Control system
may not properly activate, if the radar
is totally contaminated, or if any sub-
stance is not detected after turning
ON the engine (e.g. in an open ter-
rain).
Check Smart Cruise Control
System
The message will appear when the
vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
Dealer of Genesis Brand Products

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 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.
Do not apply foreign objects
such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may
adversely affect the sensing
performance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor and lens cover clean and free
of dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnec- essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the Smart
Cruise Control System may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. Have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized Dealer of Genesis
Brand Products.
If the front bumper becomes damaged in the area around
the radar sensor, the Smart
Cruise Control System may
not operate properly. Have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized Dealer of Genesis
Brand Products.
Use only genuine Genesis Brand parts to repair or
replace a damaged sensor or
sensor cover. Do not apply
paint to the sensor cover.

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 condi-
tions 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 yourlane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the radar until it
is in the radar's detection range.
The radar may not detect immedi- ately 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 moves into your lane, your vehicle will accelerate to
the set speed.

Always look out for pedestrianswhen 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.
OHI056210
OHI056205
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 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 Smart Cruise Control System cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
Vehicles moving in front of you with a frequent lane
change may cause a delay in
the system's reaction or may
cause the system to react to a
vehicle actually in an adjacent
lane. Always drive cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
Always be aware of the select- ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance.

NOTICE
(Continued)
The Smart Cruise Control
System may not recognize
complex driving situations so
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.

Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tire damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more dis-tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control.
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windshield.
Be sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See "Tire Tread" in chapter 7.
Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases
as the depth of tire tread decreas-
es, refer to "Tire Tread" in chapter 7.
