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

Limitations of the system
The Smart Cruise Control system
may have limits to its ability to meas-
ure a distance from a vehicle in front
due to road and traffic conditions.
On curves
On curves, the Smart CruiseControl system may not detect a
moving vehicle in front in your lane.
Then, your vehicle may accelerate
to the set speed. Also, the vehicle
speed will abruptly slow down,
when suddenly recognizing a vehi-
cle in front.
Select an appropriate set speed on curves and depress the brake or
the accelerator, if necessary. Your vehicle speed may slow down
due to an adjacent vehicle in the
next lane. Depress the accelerator
and select an appropriate set
speed. Make sure that the road
conditions are safe to operate the
Smart Cruise Control.
On a slope
When driving uphill or downhill, theSmart 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 slow down,
when the system suddenly detects
a vehicle in front.
Select an appropriate set speed for a slope and depress the brake or
the accelerator, if necessary.

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.

Driving your vehicle The vehicle cannot be stopped by using the Smart Cruise
Control system.
If necessary, you must
depress the brake.
Maintain a safe distance from a vehicle in front depending
on the road conditions and the
vehicle speed. When the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is too
close while driving at a high
speed, it may cause a serious
collision.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem cannot recognize stopped
vehicles, pedestrians or
oncoming vehicles.
Always cautiously look
around the front to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
When a vehicle in front fre- quently change lanes, it may
delay the system reaction
time or may react to recognize
a vehicle in the next lane.
Always cautiously look
around the front to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem is not a substitute for
your safe driving practices
but only a system for your
convenience. It is the driver's
responsibility to always check
the speed and the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance.
Always be aware of the set speed and vehicle-to-vehicle
distance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Always maintain a sufficientbraking distance. If neces-
sary, decelerate your vehicle
by depressing the brake.
Always pay close attention to the driving conditions and the
vehicle speed, since the
Smart Cruise Control system
may not recognize complex
driving situations.
For your safe operation, care- fully read the manual in
advance and follow the
instructions.WARNING

The AVSM measures a distance
from a vehicle in front with the sen-
sor, warns you of a possible collision
with a vehicle in front, and protects
you in certain hazardous situations
by giving a warning message, a
warning alarm and seatbelt vibration
(if equipped).
When the AVSM detects that anobject in front is too close from
your vehicle, or when the driver
needs to depress brake pedal or to
turn the steering wheel, the warn-
ing light illuminates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
When the AVSM senses a danger, the warning alarm will also sounds
with the seatbelt vibration.
Immediately reduce your speed.
Always check the road conditions
to prevent any danger, even when
the warning light does not illumi-
nate, the warning alarm does not
sound, or the seatbelt does not
vibrate.Brake operation
When the AVSM senses an object in front is too close, the brake sys-
tem enters into a standard mode to
promptly react against the driver's
possible depressing of the brake
pedal.
When the driver releases the accelerator after the warning, the
AVSM automatically and gently
decelerates the vehicle.
When the driver depresses the brake pedal to reduce vehicle
speed, the brake assistant system
is activated to raise braking effi-
ciency.
When an object in front is away at a safe distance, and when the driv-
er depresses the accelerator or
releases the brake pedal, the brak-
ing will stop.

stop the vehicle and does not
totally avoid a collision. Always
cautiously look around the front
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.
WARNING

mode, but when the ESC is
turned OFF by pressing the ESC
OFF button, the AVSM is auto-
matically deactivated. Then, it is
impossible to manually control
the AVSM.
Malfunction indicator

button is pressed ON. However, it
goes OFF in approximately 3 sec-
onds. When the indicator does not
illuminate, or continuously remains

SCC indicator illuminates. It does
not indicate a malfunction of the
AVSM.
