• The system may turn off if inter-
fered by electromagnetic waves.
• Always keep the rear view camera
and the ultrasonic sensors clean.
• Do not use any cleanser contain-
ing acid or alkaline detergents
when cleaning the rear view cam-
era lens. Use only a mild soap or
neutral detergent, and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
• NEVER disassemble the rear
view camera or the ultrasonic
sensor components or apply any
impact on the rear view camera or
the ultrasonic sensor compo-
nents.
• Do not apply unnecessary force
on the rear view camera or the
ultrasonic sensors. The system
may not operate properly if the
rear view camera or the ultrason-
ic sensor(s) is forcibly moved out
of proper alignment. We recom-
mend that you immediately have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
• Do not spray the rear view cam-
era or the ultrasonic sensors or
their surrounding area directly
with a high pressure washer.
Shock applied from high pres-
sure water may cause the device
to malfunction.
• The system may not work proper-
ly if the bumper has been dam-
aged, or if the rear bumper has
been replaced or repaired.
• Do not apply foreign objects,
such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard, near the camera
or sensors or apply paint to the
bumper. Doing so may adversely
affect the performance of the sys-
tem.
Warning message
Rear camera error or blockage/
Parking sensor error or blockage
This warning message may appear
when:
- The rear view camera or the ultra-
sonic sensor(s) is blocked by dirt,
snow, or a foreign object.
- There is inclement weather, such
as heavy snow, rain, etc.
If any of these conditions occur, the
system may turn off automatically or
not operate properly.
When the warning message is dis-
played in the cluster, make sure that
the rear view camera and the rear
ultrasonic sensors are clean.

"LCD Display Modes" in chapter 3.
The Smart Cruise Control system
allows you to program the vehicle to
help maintain the desired speed and
minimum distance between the vehi-
cle ahead.
The Smart Cruise Control system
will automatically adjust your vehicle
speed to maintain your programmed
speed and following distance without
requiring you to depress the acceler-
ator or brake pedals.
SMART CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO SYSTEM
OHI059259N
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.

•Do not use the Smart Cruise
Control when it may not be
safe to keep the vehicle at a
constant speed:
- When driving in heavy traffic
or when traffic conditions
make it difficult to drive at a
constant speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, or
snow-covered roads
- When driving on a steep
downhill or uphill
- When driving in windy areas
- When driving in parking lots
- When driving near crash bar-
riers
- When driving on a sharp
curve
- When driving with limited
view (possibly due to bad
weather, such as fog, snow,
rain or sandstorm)
- When the vehicle sensing
ability decreases due to
vehicle modification result-
ing level difference of the
vehicle's front and rear
•Unexpected situations may
lead to possible accidents. Pay
attention continuously to road
conditions and driving even
when the smart cruise control
system is being operated.

Adjusting the Sensitivity of
Smart Cruise Control
The sensitivity of vehicle speed
when following the front vehicle to
maintain the set distance can be
adjusted. Select 'Setup →Vehicle
Settings →Driver Assistance →
SCC Reaction → Fast / Normal /
Slow' from the Settings menu in the
AVN system screen.
For detailed information, scan the
QR code in a separately supplied
simple manual.
You may select one of the three
stages you prefer.
- Fast:
Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is faster than normal speed.
- Normal:
Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is normal.
- Slow:
Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is slower than normal speed.
Information
The last selected speed sensitivity of
the smart cruise control is remained in
the system.
Converting to Cruise Control
Mode
The driver may choose to only use
the conventional Cruise Control
mode (speed control function) by
doing as follows:
1. Turn the Smart Cruise Control
System on (the cruise indicator
light will be on but the system will
not be activated).
2. Push and hold the Vehicle-to-
Vehicle Distance button for more
than 2 seconds.
3. Choose between "Smart Cruise
Control" and "Cruise Control".
When the system is canceled using
the CRUISE button or the CRUISE
button is used after the engine is
turned on, the Smart Cruise Control
mode will turn on.
i
When using the Cruise Control
mode, you must manually
adjust the distance to other
vehicles by depressing the
brake pedal. The system does
not automatically adjust the dis-
tance to vehicles in front of you.

2. Accelerate to the desired speed.
The Smart Cruise Control speed
can be set when vehicle speed is
between as follows.
• 5–120 mph (10–200 km/h):
when there is no vehicle in front

The desired speed will automati-
cally be maintained.
If there is a vehicle in front of you, the
speed may decrease to maintain the
distance to the vehicle ahead.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
slow down or speed up slightly while
going uphill or downhill.
Information
• Vehicle speed may decrease on an
upward slope and increase on a
downward slope.
• The speed is set to 20 mph (30 km/h)
when there is a preceding car in
front, and when your vehicle speed
is between 0-20 mph (0-30 km/h).

• The vehicle stops and goes repeat-
edly for a long period of time.
• The accelerator pedal is continu-
ously depressed for a long period
of time.
• The engine performance is abnor-
mal.

the toggle switch up (RES+)/down
(SET-) or depressing the accelera-
tor pedal, after stopping the vehicle
with a vehicle stopped far away in
front.
• The braking control is operated for
FCA (Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist)
• The engine is stopped by ISG (Idle
Stop & Go) (if equipped).
Each of these actions will cancel the
Smart Cruise Control operation. The
Set Speed and Vehicle-to-Vehicle
Distance on the cluster LCD display
will go off.
In a condition the Smart Cruise
Control is canceled automatically,
the Smart Cruise Control will not
resume even though the RES+ or
SET- toggle switch is pushed.
Also, if the Smart Cruise Control is
canceled automatically while the
vehicle is at a standstill, EPB
