For your safety, please read the
owner's manual before using the
Smart Cruise Control system.
WARNING
The Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices, but a conven-
ience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Take the following precautions :
•Always set the vehicle speed
under the speed limit.
•If the Smart Cruise Control is
left on, ( indicator
light in the instrument cluster
is illuminated) the Smart
Cruise Control can be activat-
ed unintentionally. Keep the
Smart Cruise Control system
off ( indicator light
OFF) when the Smart Cruise
Control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
•Use the Smart Cruise Control
system only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather.
WARNING
Smart Cruise Control is not a
collision avoidance or warning
device.
Smart Cruise Control is
designed to only detect vehi-
cles as it cannot detect motor-
cycles, bicycles, or pedestrians.
WARNING

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 sensor clean.
Warning message
Smart Cruise Control disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is cov-
ered 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 cluster 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 covered, or if any substance
is not detected after turning ON the
engine (e.g. in an open terrain).
Information
For the SCC operation is temporarily
stopped if the radar is blocked, but you
wish to use cruise control mode (speed
control function), you must convert to
the cruise control mode (refer to "To
convert to Cruise Control mode" in
the following page.

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.

vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products

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 retailer of Genesis
Branded 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 retailer of Genesis

• 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 driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the system
may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed
in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.

Smart Cruise Control is basical-
ly designed to set vehicles as a
target. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to cope with unexpected
situations such as a collision
when the system sets an object
as a target, not vehicles.
WARNING

5-118
• 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.When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following pre-
cautions:
• If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes. The smart cruise con-
trol system cannot guarantee
the stop for every emergency
situation.
• Keep a safe distance according
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 sys-
tem cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians or
an oncoming vehicle. Always
look ahead cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
• Vehicles moving in front of you
with a frequent lane change
may cause a delay in the sys-
tem's reaction or may cause the
system to react to a vehicle
actually in an adjacent lane.
Always drive cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
• Always be aware of the select-
ed speed and vehicle to vehicle
distance. The driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention to driving
conditions and control your
vehicle speed.
