Mode (Driving Assist) and select
SCC (Smart Cruise Control). You
may select one of the three stages
you prefer.
Slow:
Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is slower than normal speed. Normal:
Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is normal
Fast: Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is faster than normal speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE

Driving your vehicle
1.Turn the SCC on (the cruise indi-cator 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 control(SCC) mode" and "Cruise
control(CC) mode".
When using the cruise control mode,
you must manually assess the dis-
tance to other vehicles as the system
will not automatically brake to slow
down for other vehicles.Limitations of the system
The SCC may have limits to its abili-
ty to detect distance to the vehicle
ahead due to road and traffic condi-
tions.
On curves
On curves, the SCC 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 slow
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.

Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Adjust your vehicle speed by
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 SCC.
On inclines
During uphill or downhill driving,the SCC 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 slow down when the
vehicle ahead is recognized sud-
denly.
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 yourlane 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.

Driving your vehicle
If a vehicle which moves into yourlane is faster than your vehicle,
your vehicle will accelerate to the
selected speed.
Your vehicle may accelerate whena vehicle ahead of you disappears.
When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution.Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles ahead in your lane
cannot be recognized by the sensor
as follows:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-cles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden- decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads

A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized 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
Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal accord-
ing to the road condition ahead and
driving condition. When vehicles are at a standstill
and the vehicle in front of you
changes to the next lane, be care-
ful when your vehicle starts to
move because it may not recog-
nize the stopped vehicle in front of
you. Always look out for pedestrians
when your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead.

detect the vehicle at certain
times. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.

Active ECO operation
Active ECO helps improve fuel effi-
ciency by controlling the engine and
transaxle. But fuel-efficiency can be
affected by the driver's driving habits
and road conditions.
When the Active ECO button ispressed the ECO indicator (green)
will illuminate to show that the
Active ECO is operating.

engine is restarted again. To turn
off the system, press the active
ECO button again. If Active ECO is turned off, it will
return to the normal mode.
When Active ECO is activated:
The engine noise may get louder.
The vehicle speed may slightly bereduced.
The air conditioner performance may be affected.
Limitation of Active ECO oper-
ation:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature islow:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
the engine torque is restricted.
When using sports mode: The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply pressed for a few seconds:
The system will be limited,as it has
determined that the driver has
accelerated judging that the driver
wants to speed up.
