The smart cruise control system allows
you to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed and distance detecting
the vehicle ahead without depressing the
accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 19 mph (30 km/h)
and below approximately 113 mph (180
km/h).
✽ ✽
NOTICE
During normal smart cruise control
operation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying the
brakes, the smart cruise control will
energize after approximately 3 seconds.
This delay is normal.
SMART CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the smart cruise control is left

tem only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use the smart cruise con-
trol when it may not be safe to
keep the car at a constant speed,
for instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-hill
or down-hill roads.
Pay particular attention to the
driving conditions whenever
using the smart cruise control
system.
Be careful when driving downhill
using the smart cruise control
system, which may increase the
vehicle speed.
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 distance to
the vehicle ahead.

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.

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.
E150903ABH
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.

WARNING
The vehicle cannot be stopped by
using the smart cruise control
system.
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, it may cause
a serious collision.
The smart cruise control system
can not recognize a stopped
vehicle, pedestrians or an
oncoming vehicle. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
In front of you, vehicles moving
with a frequent lane change may
cause a delay in the system's
reaction or may cause the system
to react to a vehicle actually in an
adjacent lane. Always look ahead
cautiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.
