When using the Cruise Control
mode, you must check the dis-
tance from other vehicles for
yourself, as the system will not
automatically brake to slow
down.
WARNING
Do not install accessoriesaround the sensor and do not
replace the bumper by your-
self. It may interfere with the
sensor performance.
Always keep the sensor and bumper clean.
To prevent sensor cover from being damaged, use a soft
cloth to clean your vehicle.
Do not strike the sensor or the sensor area with a strong
impact. When the sensor
moves slightly off position,
the Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem will not correctly operate.
If this occurs, immediately
have your vehicle checked by
an authorized EQUUS dealer.
Use only an authorized HYUNDAI sensor cover for
your vehicle.
CAUTION

Lane changing
A vehicle, which moves into yourlane from the next, may not be rec-
ognized by the sensor until it
moves within the sensor's detec-
tion range.
The sensor may not immediately detect a vehicle in front, when a
vehicle suddenly cuts in. Always
pay attention to the traffic, road
and driving conditions.
When a vehicle, which moves into your lane, drives slower than
yours, your speed may decrease to
maintain a safe distance from a
vehicle in front.
When a vehicle, which moves into your lane, drives faster than yours,
and when that vehicle drives slow-
er than the set speed, your speed
may accelerate. Your vehicle may accelerate, when
a vehicle in front disappears.
When you are warned that a vehi- cle in front is undetectable, drive
with caution.
Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles in front in your lane
may not be recognized by the sensor
in the following conditions:
- Small and narrow vehicles, such asmotorcycles or bicycles
- Vehicles going astray to one side of a lane
- Slowly moving or suddenly deceler- ating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with a small and narrow rear profile, such as an unloaded
trailer

A vehicle may be unrecognized by
the sensor, when;
- The vehicle points upwards due tooverloading in the trunk,
- The steering wheel is operated,
- The vehicle drives astray to one side of a lane, and
- The vehicle drives in a narrow lane or on a curve.
If necessary, depress the brake
pedal or the accelerator.
When vehicles are parked in a line, and when a vehicle in front drives
out of the line, the system may not
recognize other parked vehicles in
the line. Thus, be careful, when you
start to drive. Always look out for abrupt appear-
ance of any passers-by, while your
vehicle system automatically con-
trols and maintains a safe distance
from a vehicle in front.
Always be cautious for vehicles with higher height or vehicles car-
rying loads that sticks out from the
back of the vehicle.
