conditions while driving.
僅 The distance from the front vehicle is
near, or the vehicle speed of the front
vehicle is faster or similar with your
vehicle
僅 The speed of the front vehicle is very
slow or is at a standstill
僅 The accelerator pedal is depressed
right after Smart Cruise Control is

WARNING
僅 Smart Cruise Control does not substi-
tute for proper and safe driving. It is
the responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and distance
to the vehicle ahead.
僅 Smart Cruise Control may not recog-
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.
僅 Do not open the door or leave the
vehicle when Smart Cruise Control is
operating, even if the vehicle is
stopped.
僅 Always be aware of the selected
speed and headway distance.
僅 Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed. If
the headway distance is too close
during high-speed driving, a serious
collision may result.
僅 When maintaining distance with the
vehicle ahead, if the front vehicle dis-
appears, Smart Cruise Control may
suddenly accelerate to the set speed.
Smart Cruise Control (SCC)

僅 Smart Cruise Control may not detect
an obstacle in front and lead to a colli-
sion. Always look ahead cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sudden situ-
ations from occurring.
僅 Vehicles moving in front of you with a
frequent lane change may cause a
delay in Smart Cruise Control reaction
or may cause Smart Cruise Control to
react to a vehicle actually in an adja-
cent lane. Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sudden situ-
ations from occurring.
僅 Always be aware of the surroundings
and drive safely, even though a warn-
ing message does not appear or an
audible warning does not sound.
僅 If any other system's warning mes-
sage is displayed or warning sound is
generated, Smart Cruise Control
warning message may not be dis-
played and warning sound may not
be generated.
僅 You may not hear the warning sound
of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
