Driving your vehicle
A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized
correctly by the sensor if any of followingoccurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing upwardsdue to overloading in the trunk
- While the steering wheel is operating
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Apply the brakes or accelerator pedal if
necessary.(Continued)
The smart cruise control system is not a substitute for safe driving
practices but a convenience
function only. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always
check the speed and the distance
to the vehicle ahead.
Always be aware of the selected speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance.
Always maintain sufficient brak- ing distance and decelerate your
vehicle by applying the brakes if
necessary.
As the smart cruise control sys- tem may not recognize complex
driving situations, always payattention to driving conditions
and control your vehicle speed.
For safe operation, carefully read and follow the instructions in this
manual before use.WARNING
The vehicle cannot be stopped by using the smart cruise control system.
If an emergency stop is neces-
sary, 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 driving, it may causea serious collision.
The smart cruise control system can not recognize a stopped
vehicle, pedestrians or an
oncoming vehicle. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
In front of you, vehicles moving 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 look ahead
cautiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations fromoccurring.
(Continued)
CAUTION
The smart cruise control systemmay not operate temporarily due to electrical interference.

Driving your vehicle
VSM detects the distance from the vehi-
cle ahead with the sensor, to warn you
before collision and protect you in certain
hazardous situations. If the VSM senses the object ahead too
near the vehicle and if driver's operat-
ing of the brake pedal or the steering
wheel should be needed, the warning
light illuminates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
If the VSM senses more dangerous, the warning sound also operates and
the seat belt vibrates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
Brake operating
If the VSM senses the collision, thebrake system comes to standard mode
to react promptly when the driver oper-
ates the brake pedal.
If the driver releases the accelerator after warning in hazardous situations,
the VSM automatically brakes the vehi-
cle gently.
If the driver hits the brake to reduce vehicle speed, the brake assistant sys-
tem operates to raise efficiency of
braking.
If danger disappears, if the driver depresses the accelerator or if the driv-
er releases the brake pedal, the brake
operating stop.
VEHICLE STABILITY MANAGEMENT (VSM) (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Always check the road conditions
to prevent danger even if the warn-ing light does not illuminate, the
warning sound does not operate or the seat belt does not vibrate.
OVI059059OVI059064L
