The smart cruise control system may
have limits to its ability to detect dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead due to
road and traffic conditions.
On curves
• On curves, the smart cruise control
system may not detect a moving
vehicle in your lane, and then your
vehicle could accelerate to the set
speed. Also, the vehicle speed will
rapidly down when the vehicle
ahead is recognized suddenly.• Select the appropriate set speed
on curves and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving
condition.

depressing the brake pedal
according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition. 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 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
down when the vehicle ahead is
recognized suddenly.
• Select the appropriate set speed
on inclines and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving
condition.
Lane changing
• A vehicle which moves into your
lane 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 vehicle which moves into your
lane is slower than your vehicle,
your speed may decrease to main-
tain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.

uation.
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes.
• 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.

changing lanes in front of you
frequently, the smart cruise
control system may not oper-
ate appropriately. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
• The smart cruise control sys-
tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices but a con-
venience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed
and the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
• Always be aware of the select-
ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance.

Driving your vehicle
AVSM detects the distance from the
vehicle ahead with the sensor, to
warn you before collision and protect
you in certain hazardous situations
by using warning message, warning
sound and seat belt vibration (if
equipped).
• If the AVSM senses the object
ahead too near the vehicle and if
driver's operating of the brake
pedal or the steering wheel should
be needed, the warning light illumi-
nates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
• If the AVSM senses more danger-
ous, the warning sound also oper-
ates and the seat belt vibrates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
ADVANCED VEHICLE SAFETY MANAGEMENT (AVSM) (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Always check the road condi-
tions to prevent danger even if
the warning light does not illu-
minate, the warning sound does
not operate or the seat belt does
not vibrate.

Brake operating
• If the AVSM senses the collision,
the brake system comes to stan-
dard mode to react promptly when
the driver operates the brake
pedal.
• If the driver releases the accelera-
tor after warning in hazardous situ-
ations, the AVSM automatically
brakes the vehicle gently.
• If the driver hits the brake to reduce
vehicle speed, the brake assistant
system operates to raise efficiency
of braking.
• If danger disappears, if the driver
depresses the accelerator or if the
driver releases the brake pedal,
the brake operating stop.
Seat belt operating
The seat belt tightens when the vehi-
cle senses a collision.
WARNING
The AVSM does not stop the
vehicle completely and does
not avoid collision. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
WARNING
The AVSM operates according
to the distance from the vehicle
ahead, relative velocity and dri-
ver's operation of the brake or
accelerator pedal. Do not drive
dangerously to operate the
AVSM.
CAUTION
• When the AVSM is controlled
or turned off, make sure that
the vehicle is stopped.
• When the engine is running by
turning on, the AVSM is auto-
matically turned on. If is not
required, select the AVSM OFF
in USM.
• If the AVSM ON is selected in
USM (User Settings Mode), if
the ESC is cancelled by press-
ing the ESC OFF button, the
AVSM function is automatical-
ly cancelled. And then it is
impossible to control the
AVSM by manually.
