WARNING
●Assisting the driver to measure 
following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range is only 
intended to help the driver in 
determining the following distance 
between the driver’s own vehicle 
and a designated vehicle traveling 
ahead. It is not a mechanism that 
allows careless or  inattentive driv-
ing, and it is not a system that can 
assist the driver  in low-visibility 
conditions. 
It is still necessary for driver to 
pay close attention to the vehi-
cle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver to judge 
proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range determines 
whether the following distance 
between the driver’s own vehicle 
and a designated vehicle traveling 
ahead is within a set range. It is 
not capable of making any other 
type of judgement. Therefore, it is 
absolutely necessary for the 
driver to remain vigilant and to 
determine whether or not there is 
a possibility of danger in any 
given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate 
the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range does not 
include functions which will pre-
vent or avoid collisions with vehi-
cles ahead of your vehicle. 
Therefore, if there is ever any 
possibility of dange r, the driver 
must take immediate and direct 
control of the vehicle and act 
appropriately in order to ensure 
the safety of all involved.
■Situations unsuitable for 
dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise 
control with full-speed range in 
any of the following situations. 
Doing so may result in inappropri-
ate speed control and could 
cause an accident resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedes-
trians, cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as 
those covered with rain, ice or 
snow
●On steep downhills, or where 
there are sudden changes 
between sharp up and down 
gradients 
Vehicle speed may exceed the 
set speed when driving down a 
steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and 
highways
●When weather conditions are 
bad enough that they may pre-
vent the sensors from detecting 
correctly (fog, snow, sand-
storm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc. 
on the front surface of the radar 
or front camera
●In traffic conditions that require 
frequent repeated acceleration 
and deceleration
●During emergency towing
●When an approach warning 
buzzer is heard often

The Blind Spot Monitor is a 
system that uses rear side 
radar sensors installed on 
the inner side of the rear 
bumper on the left and right 
side to assist the driver in 
confirming safety when 
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of 
the system
The driver is solely responsible for 
safe  driving. A lways drive safely, 
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts 
the driver that a vehicle is in a 
blind spot of the outside rear view 
mirrors or is approaching rapidly 
from behind into a blind spot. Do 
not overly rely on the Blind Spot 
Monitor. As the function cannot 
judge if it is safe to change lanes, 
over reliance could lead to an 
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
As the system may not function 
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual con-
firmation of safety is necessary.
