Driving your vehicle
On curves
The Smart Cruise Control systemmay not immediately detect a mov-
ing vehicle in your lane, and then
your vehicle could accelerate to
the set speed. Also, the vehicle
speed will rapidly decrease 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 and driving conditions ahead. Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Adjust your speed by depress-
ing the brake pedal or applying the
accelerator pedal according to road
and driving conditions ahead.
Check to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of the
smart cruise control.

During uphill or downhill driving,the smart cruise control system
may not immediately detect a mov-
ing vehicle in your lane, and may
cause your vehicle to accelerate to
the set speed. Also, the vehicle
speed will rapidly 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

Driving your vehicle
A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointingupwards due to overloading in the
trunk(tailgate)
- 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 and driving conditions
ahead. Your vehicle may accelerate when
a vehicle ahead of you disappears.
When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution. 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 immedi-
ately recognize the stopped vehicle
in front of you.
In this case, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
