Driving your vehicle
WARNING
僅 When vehicle speed is under 10 km/h
(6 mph), the Smart Regeneration Sys-
tem is canceled. The driver must
adjust the vehicle speed by depress-
ing the accelerator or brake pedal
according to the road condition ahead
and driving condition.
僅 Smart Regeneration System relies on
front view camera in the vehicle. For-
eign substances on the front view
camera may cause the malfunction of
Smart Recuperation System. Be sure
to maintain clear view for the front
view camera.
僅 The Smart Regeneration System will
not operate when the Forward Colli-
sion- Avoidance Assist (FCA) warning
light on the cluster is illuminated. The
driver must adjust the vehicle speed
by depressing the accelerator or
brake pedal according to the road
condition ahead and driving condi-
tion.
僅 The Smart Regeneration System
which automatically controls the
regenerative braking level when
coasting is only a supplemental sys-
tem for the driver's convenience. Do
not solely rely on this system to stop
the vehicle. The system cannot com-
pletely stop the vehicle in all situations
nor avoid all collisions. The brake con-
trol may be insufficient depending on
the speed of the vehicle in front and
when the vehicle in front suddenly
stops, a vehicle cuts in suddenly and
there is a steep slope. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent unex-
pected and sudden situations from
occurring.

僅 When the Smart Regeneration System
is canceled automatically, adjust the
vehicle speed directly by depressing
the accelerator or brake pedal accord-
ing to the road and driving conditions
ahead.
僅 When using the Smart Regeneration
System take the following precau-
tions:
- If an emergency stop is necessary,
you must apply the brakes.
- Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during a high-speed driv-
ing, a serious collision may result.
- Always maintain sufficient braking
distance and decelerate your vehi-
cle by applying the brakes if neces-
sary.
- The Smart Regeneration System is
designed to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead in the roadway
through radar signals. It is not
designed to detect oncoming vehi-
cles, pedestrians, bicycles, motor-
cycles, or smaller wheeled objects
such as luggage bags, shopping
carts, or strollers.
- 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 cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring.
- The Smart Regeneration System
may not recognize complex driving
situations so always pay attention
to driving conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
