NOTICE
5-50
Driving your vehicle The vehicle cannot be stopped by using the Smart Cruise
Control system.
If necessary, you must
depress the brake.
Maintain a safe distance from a vehicle in front depending
on the road conditions and the
vehicle speed. When the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is too
close while driving at a high
speed, it may cause a serious
collision.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem cannot recognize stopped
vehicles, pedestrians or
oncoming vehicles.
Always cautiously look
around the front to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
When a vehicle in front fre- quently change lanes, it may
delay the system reaction
time or may react to recognize
a vehicle in the next lane.
Always cautiously look
around the front to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem is not a substitute for
your safe driving practices
but only a system for your
convenience. It is the driver's
responsibility to always check
the speed and the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance.
Always be aware of the set speed and vehicle-to-vehicle
distance.
(Continued)

Always maintain a sufficientbraking distance. If neces-
sary, decelerate your vehicle
by depressing the brake.
Always pay close attention to the driving conditions and the
vehicle speed, since the
Smart Cruise Control system
may not recognize complex
driving situations.
For your safe operation, care- fully read the manual in
advance and follow the
instructions.WARNING

the sensor located on the front wind-
shield, and warns the driver of driv-
ing out of lane lines (lane departure).

The AVSM measures a distance
from a vehicle in front with the sen-
sor, warns you of a possible collision
with a vehicle in front, and protects
you in certain hazardous situations
by giving a warning message, a
warning alarm and seatbelt vibration
(if equipped).
When the AVSM detects that anobject in front is too close from
your vehicle, or when the driver
needs to depress brake pedal or to
turn the steering wheel, the warn-
ing light illuminates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
When the AVSM senses a danger, the warning alarm will also sounds
with the seatbelt vibration.
Immediately reduce your speed.
Always check the road conditions
to prevent any danger, even when
the warning light does not illumi-
nate, the warning alarm does not
sound, or the seatbelt does not
vibrate.Brake operation
When the AVSM senses an object in front is too close, the brake sys-
tem enters into a standard mode to
promptly react against the driver's
possible depressing of the brake
pedal.
When the driver releases the accelerator after the warning, the
AVSM automatically and gently
decelerates the vehicle.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to reduce vehicle
speed, the brake assistant system
is activated to raise braking effi-
ciency.
When an object in front is away at a safe distance, and when the driv-
er depresses the accelerator or
releases the brake pedal, the brak-
ing will stop.

stop the vehicle and does not
totally avoid a collision. Always
cautiously look around the front
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.

mode, but when the ESC is
turned OFF by pressing the ESC
OFF button, the AVSM is auto-
matically deactivated. Then, it is
impossible to manually control
the AVSM.
Malfunction indicator
The AVSM OFF indicator illumi-nates, when the Engine Start/Stop
button is pressed ON. However, it
goes OFF in approximately 3 sec-
onds. When the indicator does not

The AVSM braking operationin inoperable, when the driver
does not release the accelera-
tor nor depress the brake
pedal.WARNING

The BSD (Blind spot detection) sys-
tem uses a radar sensor to alert the
driver while driving.
It monitors the rear area of the vehi-
cle and provides information to the
driver.(1) BSD (Blind spot detection)
The warning range varies in
accordance with a driving speed.
When your vehicle drives 6 mph
(10 km/h) faster than the other
vehicles, the system will not warn
you.
(2) LCA (Lane change assist) When a vehicle approaches you
at a high speed, the system will
warn you.
