Driving your vehicle
When the system is turned on from
the User Settings mode, but the front
radar doesn't recognize the vehicle
in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in white.
5 24
OSKEV058119L
If the front radar recognizes the vehi-
cle in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in
blue. The regenerative braking level
is automatically controlled depend-
ing on the driving condition of the
vehicle in front and the level is indi-
cated with arrows.
However, current regenerative brak-
ing level is maintained if the driver
depresses the brake pedal whilst the
system is in activation. Also, the sys-
tem is cancelled temporarily if the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
WARNING
The Smart
System which automatically
controls the regenerative brak-
ing level when coasting is only
a supplemental system for the
driver's convenience. The sys-
tem cannot completely stop the
vehicle nor avoid all collisions.
The brake control may be insuf-
ficient depending on the speed
OSKEV058120L
of the vehicle in front and when
the vehicle in front suddenly
stops, a vehicle cuts in sudden-
ly and there is a steep slope.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.
