The vehicle to vehicle distance will auto-
matically activate when the smart cruise
control system is on.
Select the appropriate distance accord-
ing to road conditions and vehicle speed.
Each time the button is pressed, the vehi-
cle to vehicle distance changes as fol-
lows:
For example, if you drive at 90 km/h (56
mph), the distance maintain as follows;
Distance 4 - approximately 52 m
Distance 3 - approximately 40 m
Distance 2 - approximately 30 m
Distance 1 - approximately 25 m
✽NOTICE
The 'Distance 4' is always set when the
system is used for the first time after
starting the engine.
• The vehicle will maintain the set
speed, when the lane ahead is clear.
• The vehicle will slow down or speed up
to maintain the selected distance,
when there is a vehicle ahead of you in
the lane. (A vehicle will appear in front
of your vehicle in the LCD display only
when there is an actual vehicle in front
of you) • If the vehicle ahead speeds up, your
vehicle will travel at a steady cruising
speed after accelerating to the select-
ed speed.

Driving your vehicle
In traffic situation
• In traffic, your vehicle will stop if the
vehicle 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 sec-
onds, you must depress the accelera-
tor pedal or push the RES+ switch to
start driving.
• If you push the Smart cruise control
switch (RES+ or SET-) while Auto Hold
and 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.
CAUTION
• The warning chime sounds and
malfunction indicator blinks if it
is hard to maintain the selected
distance to the vehicle ahead.
• If the warning chime sounds,
actively adjust the vehicle speed,
as well as the distance to the
vehicle ahead by depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal.
• Even if the warning chime is not
activated, always pay attention to
the driving conditions to prevent
dangerous situations from occur-
ring.
CAUTION
If the vehicle ahead (vehicle speed:
less than 30 km/h (18.6 mph)) dis-
appears to the next lane, the warn-
ing chime will sound and a mes-
sage will appear. Adjust your vehi-
cle speed for vehicles or objects
that can suddenly appear in front of
you.

Distance to distance vehicle sen-
sor
The sensor detects the distance to the
vehicle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or other
foreign matter, the vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance control may not operate correctly.
Always keep the area in front of the sen-
sor clean.
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 function
temporarily, but it does not indicate a
malfunction of the Smart Cruise Control
System.
Clean the sensor or cover by using a soft
cloth.
SCC (Smart Cruise Control) malfunc-
tion message
The message will appear when the vehi-
cle to vehicle distance control system is
not functioning normally.
We recommend that you take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked.

Driving your vehicle
To convert to cruise control mode:
The driver may choose to only use the
cruise control mode (speed control func-
tion) 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 the distance to distance switch
for more than 2 seconds.
3. Choose between "Smart cruise con-
trol(SCC) mode" and "Cruise con-
trol(CC) mode".

OHG045330L
WARNING
When using the cruise control
mode, you must manually access
the distance to other vehicles as the
system will not automatically brake
to slow down for other vehicles.
CAUTION
• Do not install accessories around
the sensor and do not replace the
bumper by yourself. It may inter-
fere with the sensor performance.
• Always keep the sensor and
bumper clean.
• To prevent sensor cover damage
from occurring, wash the car with
a soft cloth.
• Do not damage the sensor or sen-
sor area by a strong impact. If the
sensor moves slightly off posi-
tion, the smart cruise control sys-
tem will not operate correctly.
If this occurs, we recommend that
the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only a genuine HYUNDAI
sensor cover for your vehicle.

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 traf-
fic conditions.
On curves
• On curves, the smart cruise control
system may not detect a moving vehi-
cle in your lane, and then your vehicle
could accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will slow down when
the vehicle ahead is recognized sud-
denly.
• Select the appropriate set speed on
curves and apply the brakes or accel-
erator 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 conditions permit
safe operation of the smart cruise con-
trol.
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 slow down when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly.
• Select the appropriate set speed on
inclines and apply the brakes or accel-
erator pedal if necessary.

Driving your vehicle
Lane changing
• A vehicle which moves into your lane
from an adjacent lane cannot be rec-
ognized by the sensor until it is in the
sensor's detection range.
• The sensor may not detect immediate-
ly when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.
Always pay attention to the traffic, road
and driving conditions.
• If a vehicle which moves into your lane
is slower than your vehicle, your speed
may decrease to maintain the distance
to the vehicle ahead.
• If a vehicle which moves into your lane
is faster than your vehicle, your vehicle
will accelerate to the selected speed.• Your vehicle may accelerate when a
vehicle ahead of you disappears.
• When you are warned that the vehicle
ahead of you is not detected, drive with
caution.
Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles ahead in your lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor as follows:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or
bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-decel-
erating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as
trailers with no loads

A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized
correctly by the sensor if any of following
occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing upwards
due to overloading in the trunk
- While making turns by steering
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on
curves
Apply the brakes or accelerator pedal if
necessary.
• When vehicles are at a standstill and
the vehicle in front of you changes to
the next lane, be careful when your
vehicle starts to move because it may
not recognize the stopped vehicle in
front of you.• Always look out for pedestrians when
your vehicle is maintaining a distance
with the vehicle ahead.

CAUTION
The smart cruise control system
may not operate temporarily due to
electrical interference.
• Always be cautious for vehicles with
higher height or vehicles carrying
loads that sticks out to the back of the
vehicle.

WARNING
• The smart cruise control system
cannot guarantee the stop for
every emergency situation.
If an emergency stop is neces-
sary, you must apply the brakes.
• 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 col-
lision may result.
• The smart cruise control system
cannot recognize a stopped vehi-
cle, pedestrians or an oncoming
vehicle. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.
• When other vehicles are chang-
ing lanes in front of you frequent-
ly, the smart cruise control sys-
tem may not operate appropriate-
ly. Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.

(Continued)
• The smart cruise control system
is not a substitute for safe driving
practices but a convenience
function only. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always
check the speed and the distance
to the vehicle ahead.
• Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance.
• Always maintain sufficient brak-
ing distance and decelerate your
vehicle by applying the brakes if
necessary.
• As the smart cruise control sys-
tem may not recognize complex
driving situations, always pay
attention to driving conditions
and control your vehicle speed.
• For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use.

The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD)
uses a radar sensor to alert the driver.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides an indication to the
driver if it detects an object approaching
from these areas.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The warning range depends on your
vehicle speed. However, if your vehi-
cle is much faster than the other vehi-
cle, the system will not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
If the system detects a vehicle
approaching you at high speed, the
system will warn you.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
If the sensor detects an approaching
vehicle from the left and right side as
your vehicle moves rearward, the sys-
tem will warn you.
