Limitations of smart regeneration system
When a vehicle changes lanes in front of you, the smart regen-
eration system may not immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes abruptly. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
Some vehicles in your lane cannot be recognized by the sen-
sor:
僅 Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles
僅 Vehicles offset to one side
僅 Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-decelerating vehicles
僅 Stopped vehicles (When the vehicle ahead drives away, the
system may not detect a stopped vehicle.)
僅 Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads
A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized correctly by the sensor
if any of following occurs:
僅 When the vehicle is pointing upwards due to overloading in
the luggage compartment
僅 While the steering wheel is operating
僅 When driving to one side of the lane
僅 When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Apply the brake or accelerator pedal if necessary.
