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
recognise unexpected and sudden
situations or complex driving situ-
ations, so always pay attention to
driving conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
Keep Smart Cruise Control off
when the function 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.
When maintaining distance with
the vehicle ahead, if the front
vehicle disappears, the function
may suddenly accelerate to the
set speed. Always be aware of
6 156
Smart Cruise Control (SCC)
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 function's
reaction or may cause the func-
tion to react to a vehicle actually
in an adjacent lane. Always drive
cautiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.
Always be aware of the surround-
ings and drive safely, even though
a warning message does not
appear or an audible warning does
not sound.
