Driving your vehicle
WARNING
• The smart cruise control sys-
tem cannot guarantee the
stop for every emergency sit-
uation.
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes.
• Keep a safe distance accord-
ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close
during a high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
• The smart cruise control sys-
tem cannot recognize
stopped vehicle, pedestrians or
an oncoming vehicle. Always
look ahead cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
• SCC system may have diffi-
culty in maintaining the cor-
rect distance or speed, if the
vehicle is driving on a steep
incline or towing a trailer.

• When other vehicles
changing lanes in front of you
frequently, the smart cruise
control system may not oper-
ate appropriately. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
• The smart cruise control sys-
tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices but a con-
venience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed
and the distance to the vehi-
a
cle ahead.
• Always be aware of the select-
ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance.
• Always maintain sufficient
braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
(Continued)
are • As the smart cruise control
system may not recognize
complex driving situations,
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
• For safe operation, carefully
read and follow the instruc-
tions in this manual before use.
• After an vehicle start, please
stop for several seconds. If
system initialization is not
completed, the SCC does not
normally operate.
• After a vehicle start, if any
objects are not detected or the
sensor cover is obscured with
foreign substances, there is a
possibility that the SCC sys-
tem may not work.
