nize unexpected and sudden situa-
tions or complex driving situations, so
always pay attention to driving condi-
tions and control your vehicle speed.
僅 Keep Smart Cruise Control off when
the function is not in use to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.

vehicle when Smart Cruise Control is
operating, even if the vehicle is
stopped.

speed and headway distance.
僅 Keep a safe distance according to

ations from occurring.

ing message does not appear or an

sage is displayed or warning sound is
