Driving your vehicle
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using Smart Cruise Control:
Smart Cruise Control does not
substitute for proper and safe
driving. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
speed and distance to the vehicle
ahead.
Smart Cruise Control may not
recognize unexpected and sud-
den situations or complex driving
situations, so always pay atten-
tion to driving conditions and con-
trol your vehicle speed.
Keep Smart Cruise Control off
when the system is not in use to
avoid inadvertently setting a
speed.
Do not open the door or leave the
vehicle when Smart Cruise Control
is operating, even if the vehicle is
stopped.
Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance.
Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during high-speed driv-
ing, a serious collision may result.
5 132
Smart Cruise Control (SCC)
When maintaining distance with
the vehicle ahead, if the front
vehicle disappears, the system
may suddenly accelerate to the
set speed. Always be aware of
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring.
Vehicle speed may decrease on an
upward slope and increase on a
downward slope.
Always be aware of situations
such as when a vehicle cuts in
suddenly.
When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, we recommend
that Smart Cruise Control is
turned off due to safety reasons.
Turn off Smart Cruise Control
when your vehicle is being towed.
Smart Cruise Control may not
operate normally if interfered by
strong electromagnetic waves.
Smart Cruise Control may not
detect an obstacle in front and
lead to a collision. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent unex-
pected 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 cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occurring.
