The Smart Cruise Control system
sets your vehicle to maintain a set
speed unless it is not limited by traf-
fic. When the system detects a vehi-
cle in front, the vehicle will automati-
cally slow down the speed to main-
tain a set distance without depress-
ing the accelerator or the brake
pedal.

• When
Control remains ON(CRUISE
indicator on the instrument
cluster illuminates), the Smart
Cruise Control may be unin-
tentionally activated. Keep the
smart cruise control system
OFF(CRUISE indicator OFF),
when the smart cruise control
OVI055117N
is not in use, to avoid inadver-
tently setting the system.
• Use the smart cruise control
system only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather.
• Do not use the Smart Cruise
Control, when it may be
unsafe to keep the vehicle at a
constant speed, for instance,
driving in heavy or fluctuating
traffic, driving on slippery
OVI055300
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
sharply curving roads, or driv-
ing on a slope of 6 degrees or
above.
• Pay particular attention to the
driving conditions whenever
using the smart cruise control
system.
• Be
careful
downhill using the smart
cruise control system.
• The smart cruise control sys-
tem is not a substitute for
your safe driving practices,
but a mere system for your
convenience. It is the driver's
responsibility to always check
the speed and distance to the
vehicle in front.
