limits to its ability to detect distance to
the vehicle ahead due to road and traffic
conditions.
On curves
OADAS014SDOADAS014SD
• 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 decrease when the
vehicle ahead is recognized suddenly.
• Select the appropriate set speed on curves and apply the brakes or
accelerator pedal if necessary.
OADAS015SDOADAS015SD
Your vehicle speed can be reduced due
to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
