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
recognize unexpected and sudden
situations or complex driving
situations, 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 headway distance.
• 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.
• When maintaining distance with the
vehicle ahead, if the front vehicle
disappears, Smart Cruise Control may
suddenly accelerate to the set speed.
Always be aware of 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, turn off Smart Cruise
Control for safety reasons.
• Turn off Smart Cruise Control when
your vehicle is being towed.
• Smart Cruise Control may not operate
properly 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 unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
• 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 adjacent
lane. Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring.
• Always be aware of the surroundings
and drive safely, even though a warning
message does not appear or an audible
warning does not sound.
• If any other system's warning message
appears or warning sound is generated,
Smart Cruise Control warning message
may not be displayed and warning
sound may not be generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound of
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist if
the surrounding is noisy.
• The vehicle manufacturer is not
responsible for any traffic violation or
accidents caused by the driver.
• Always set the vehicle speed under the
speed limit in your area.
Information
• Smart Cruise Control may not operate
for 15 seconds after the vehicle is
started or the front view camera or
front radar is initialized.
• You may hear a sound when the brake is
controlled by Smart Cruise Control.
