❈If the front radar for Smart Cruise
Control system cannot operate
normally, the inter-vehicle dis-
tance and relative speed condition
are automatically ignored.
❈ The Eco-Coasting system works
after the engine is turned on, the
transmission is warmed up, and
the engine sensor selfdiagnosis is
completed after starting.
❈ Depending on the driving situa-
tion, Eco-Coasting operation may
be temporarily delayed even if the
above conditions are met.The Eco-Coasting system
release conditions
The Eco-Coasting system will be
automatically released when the fol-
lowing conditions are met.
When the drive mode is COM-
FORT or SPORT mode.
In SMART mode, when driver
acceleration is SMART COMFORT
or SMART SPORT.
When using the paddle shift of the
steering wheel.
When the Cruise Control/Smart
Cruise Control button is on (The
/
CRUISE indicator is on.).
When pressing the accelerator
pedal or brake pedal.
When the vehicle speed is outside
the range of 35 mph (55 km/h) to
100 mph (160 km/h).
Road inclination is less than -5% or
exceeds +5%.
In SMART mode, if the headway
distance to the vehicle ahead is too
close of the relative speed
changes momentarily (if Smart
Cruise Control system is
equipped) If lane change is predicated in
SMART mode (LKA warning by
turn signal lamp operation or steer-
ing wheel).
❈It is recommended to turn off the
Eco-Coasting system in the driv-
ing condition where frequent
acceleration or deceleration is
repeated.
Change the drive mode to COM-
FORT or SPORT mode, or disable
Eco-Coasting mode on the AVN
screen.

Driving your vehicle
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 20 mph (30
km/h). If the cruise control is left on,
(cruise indicator light is illuminat-
ed), the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally. Keep the
cruise control system off when the
cruise control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways
in good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
it may not be safe to keep the vehi-
cle at a constant speed, for
instance, driving in heavy or vary-
ing 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 driv-
ing conditions whenever using the
cruise control system.
Be careful when driving downhill
using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehicle
speed.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• During normal cruise control oper-
ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
activate after approximately 3 sec-
onds. This delay is normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress
the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Misuse of
Cruise Control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

To set cruise control speed:
1. Press the CRUISE button on the
steering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed,
which must be more than 20 mph
(30 km/h).3. Move the lever down (to SET-), and
release it at the desired speed. The
cruise indicator and set speed on
the LCD screen will illuminate.
Release the accelerator at the
same time. The desired speed will
automatically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
slow down slightly when driving uphill
or speed up slightly while going down-
hill.
To increase cruise control set
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever up (to RES+) and
hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
increase by 5 mph (10 km/h).
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever up (to RES+) and
release it immediately.The cruising
speed will increase by 1.0 mph (1
km/h ) each time the lever is operat-
ed in this manner.

To decrease the cruising
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever down (to SET-) and
hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
decrease by 5 mph (10 km/h).
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever down (to SET-) and
release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 1.0 mph (1
km/h) each time the lever is operat-
ed in this manner.
To temporarily accelerate with
the cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with the cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift into N (Neutral) with an
Automatic transmission.
Press the CANCEL switch.
Decrease the vehicle speed lower
than the set speed by 12 mph (20
km/h).
Decrease the vehicle speed to less
than approximately 15 mph (25
km/h).

Each of these actions will cancel
cruise control operation (The set
speed on the LCD will disappear and
the CRUISE indicator will illuminate
continuously.), but it will not turn the
system off. If you wish to resume
cruise control operation, move the
lever up (to RES+). You will return to
your previously preset speed.To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 20
mph (30 km/h):
If any method other than the
CRUISE ON-OFF switch was used
to cancel cruising speed and the sys-
tem is still activated, the most recent
set speed will automatically resume
when you move the lever up.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Press the CRUISE button (the
CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off).
Turn the ignition off.
Both of these actions will cancel the
cruise control operation. If you want
to resume the cruise control opera-
tion, repeat the steps provided in “To
set cruise control speed” on the pre-
vious page.

erator or brake pedal.
WARNING
- Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem Inadvertent Activation
If Smart Cruise Control system
is left on (CRUISE indicator in
the instrument cluster illuminat-
ed), it can be activated inadver-
tently. Keep Smart Cruise
Control system off (CRUISE

tem Limitations
Smart Cruise Control system
is a supplemental system and
is not a substitute for safe
driving practices. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Use Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem only when traveling on
open highways in good
weather.
