This function allows you to program
the vehicle to maintain relative dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead without
depressing the accelerator pedal or
brake pedal.The vehicle to vehicle distance will
automatically activate when the
smart cruise control system is on.
Select the appropriate distance according to road conditions and
vehicle speed.
Each time the button is pressed, the

as follows:
For example, if you drive at 90 km/h (56 mph), the distance maintain as
follows;
Distance 4 - approximately 52.5 m
Distance 3 - approximately 40 m
Distance 2 - approximately 32.5 m
Distance 1 - approximately 25 m

The vehicle will maintain the set speed, when the lane ahead is clear.
The vehicle will slow down or speed up to maintain the selected distance, when there is a vehicle ahead of you in the lane. (A vehicle will appear in
front of your vehicle in the LCD display only when there is an actual vehi-
cle in front of you)
If the vehicle ahead speeds up, your vehicle will travel at a steady cruising speed after accelerating to the selected speed.

CAUTION
The warning chime sounds
and malfunction indicatorblinks if it is hard to maintain the selected distance to thevehicle ahead.
If the warning chime sounds, actively adjust the vehiclespeed by depressing the brake pedal according to theroad condition ahead anddriving condition.

In traffic situation
In traffic, your vehicle will stop if the
vehicle ahead of you stops. Also, if
the vehicle ahead of you starts mov-
ing, your vehicle will start as well.
However, if the vehicle stops for
more than 3 seconds, you must
depress the accelerator pedal or
move up the lever (to RES+) to start
driving.Distance to distance vehicle sensor The sensor detects the distance to
the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the area in front of the sensor clean.CAUTION
If the vehicle ahead (vehicle
speed: less than 30km/h) disap-pears to the next lane, the warn- ing chime will sound and a mes-sage will appear. Adjust yourvehicle speed for vehicles or objects that can suddenlyappear in front of you bydepressing the brake pedal according to the road conditionahead and driving condition.

To convert to cruise control mode:
The driver may choose to only use
the cruise control mode (speed con-
trol function) by doing as follows:1.Turn the smart cruise control sys-
tem on (the cruise indicator light
will be on but the system will not be
activated).
2.Push the distance to distance switch for more than 2 seconds.
3.Choose between "Smart cruise control(SCC) mode" and "Cruisecontrol(CC) mode". Limitations of the system
The smart cruise control system may
have limits to its ability to detect dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead due to
road and traffic conditions.
On curves
On curves, the smart cruise control
system may not detect a moving
vehicle in your lane, and then your
vehicle could accelerate to the set
speed. Also, the vehicle speed will
rapidly down when the vehicle
ahead is recognized suddenly.
WARNING
When using the cruise control
mode, you must manuallyaccess the distance to other
vehicles as the system will not
automatically brake to slow
down for other vehicles.

lane. Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedalaccording to the road condition
ahead and driving condition. Apply
the accelerator pedal and select
the appropriate set speed. Checkto be sure that the road conditions
permit safe operation of the smart
cruise control.On inclines
During uphill or downhill driving,the smart cruise control system
may not detect a moving vehicle in
your lane, and cause your vehicle
to accelerate to the set speed.
Also, the vehicle speed will rapidly
down when the vehicle ahead is
recognized suddenly.

Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles ahead in your lane
cannot be recognized by the sensor
as follows:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-
cles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden- decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing
upwards due to overloading in the
trunk
- While making turns by steering
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal accord-ing to the road condition ahead and
driving condition. When vehicles are at a standstill
and the vehicle in front of you
changes to the next lane, be care-
ful when your vehicle starts to
move because it may not recog-
nize the stopped vehicle in front of
you.

Always look out for pedestrianswhen your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead. Always be cautious for vehicles
with higher height or vehicles car-
rying loads that sticks out to the
back of the vehicle.

WARNING
The smart cruise control sys- tem cannot guarantee the
stop for every emergency sit-uation.
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply thebrakes.
Keep a safe distance accord- ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close
during a high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
The smart cruise control sys- tem cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-ring.

CAUTION
The smart cruise control system
may not operate temporarilydue to electrical interference.
(Continued)
When other vehicles are changing lanes in front of you
frequently, the smart cruise
control system may not oper-
ate appropriately. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
The smart cruise control sys- tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices but a con-
venience function only. It isthe responsibility of the driver
to always check the speedand the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
Always be aware of the select- ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
(Continued)(Continued)
As the smart cruise controlsystem may not recognize
complex driving situations,
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
For safe operation, carefully read and follow the instruc-
tions in this manual before
use.
