Driving your vehicle

When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following precau-
tions:
If an emergency stop is necessary,
you must apply the brakes. The
vehicle cannot be stopped at every
emergency situation by using the
Smart Cruise Control System.
Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during a high-speed driv-
ing, a serious collision may result.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and decelerate your vehi-
cle by applying the brakes if neces-
sary.
The Smart Cruise Control System cannot recognize a stopped vehi-
cle, pedestrians or an oncoming
vehicle. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occurring. Vehicles moving in front of you 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 drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
Always be aware of the selected speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance. The driver should not solely
rely on the system but always pay
attention to driving conditions and
control your vehicle speed.
The Smart Cruise Control System may not recognize complex driving
situations so always pay attention
to driving conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
Make sure to be well informed of the owner's manual and practice
using the smart cruise control sys-
tem to ensure the safe use of the
system. After an engine start, please stop
for several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
SCC does not normally operate.
After an engine start, if any objects are not detected or the sensor
cover is obscured with foreign sub-
stances, there is a possibility that
the SCC system may not work.
The following conditions may cause a malfunction: over-loading
the liftgate, suspension modifica-
tion, tire replacement with unau-
thorized tires or tires with different
tread wear and pressure levels.
