Front air bags may not inflate in aside impact collision, because
occupants are forced to move
towards an impact direction. In this
case, inflated front air bags would
not provide additional protection.
However, side impact and curtain
air bags may inflate depending on
an impact intensity, a speed,
angles and a direction.
In an angled collision, occupants are forced to move toward an
impact direction. In this case, the
air bags would not be able to pro-
vide any additional benefit, and
thus the sensors may not deploy
any air bags. Just before an impact, drivers tend
to heavily depress a brake pedal.
Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle, possi-
bly causing it to “under-ride” below
a vehicle with a higher ground
clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation, because the
force, which is detected by sen-
sors, may be significantly deceler-
ated in such a “under-ride” colli-
sion.
Front air bags may not inflate in a rollover, because air bag deploy-
ment would not provide protection
to occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate, when the vehicle rolls
over in a side-impact collision.

Inoperable conditions of the
Parking Assist System
The Parking Assist System maynot properly operate, when:
1. Moisture is frozen over the sensor.
(It will operate normally again
when the frozen ice melts.)
2. The sensor is covered or blocked with foreign substances, such as
snow or water. (It will normally
operate again when the substance
is removed, and the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. The sensor is stained with foreign substances such as snow or
water. (The sensing range will
return to normal when foreign sub-
stances are removed.)
There is a possible malfunctionwith the Parking Assist Systemwhen:
1. The vehicle drives on uneven road
surfaces such as unpaved roads,
gravels, bumps, or slopes.
2. The sensor is interfered with objects, which generate excessive
noise, such as horns, motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes.
3. Heavy rain or water is sprayed.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are near the sensor.
5. The sensor is covered with snow.
Detecting range may decrease when:
1. Outside air temperature is
extremely hot or cold.
2. The sensor cannot detect an object, as it is smaller than 39 in (1
m) or narrower than 5.5 in (14 cm)
in diameter.
The following objects may notbe recognized by the sensor:
1. A sharp or slim object, such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
2. An object, such as clothes, spongy material or snow, absorbs the sen-
sor frequency.
Information
1. The warning may not soundsequentially depending on the speed
and shapes of the objects detected.
2. The Parking Assist System may malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation is mod-
ified. Any unauthorized installment
of equipment or accessories may
also limit the sensor performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects within 12 in (30 cm), or it may mis-
calculate the distance.
4. When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow or water, the sensor may
be inoperative until the stains are
removed using a soft cloth.
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the sensor surface.
This may damage the sensor.

tions:
While driving
- The brake pedal is depressed.
- Pull the lever (to CANCEL) locatedon the steering wheel.
While stopping with operating sys- tem
- Depress the brake pedal and pullthe lever (to CANCEL).
The advanced Smart Cruise Control
turns OFF temporarily when the indi-
cator on the LCD display turns OFF.
The CRUISE indicator continuously
illuminates.
The Smart Cruise Control will be
automatically canceled in below sit-
uations:
The driver's door is opened.
The shift lever is moved to N (Neutral), R (Reverse) or P (Park).
The EPB (electric parking brake) is set.
The vehicle speed is over 120 mph (190 km/h). The vehicle stops on a steep slope.
The ESC, ABS or TCS operates.
The ESC is turned OFF.
The sensor is covered or blocked
with dust or foreign substances.
When the vehicle is stopped for over 5 minutes.
The vehicle stops and goes repeat- edly for a long period of time.
The driver starts driving by depress- ing the accelerator or pressing the
RES+ button when a vehicle far
away in front stops.
The accelerator pedal is continuous- ly depressed for more than 1 minute.
Each of depressing actions will
cancel the Smart Cruise Control
operation. (The SET indicator, the
set speed and the vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance on the LCD display will
go OFF.)
When the Smart Cruise Control is
automatically canceled, it will not
be resume even by pressing the
RES+ or SET- button. Also, the
EPB (electric parking brake) will be
set upon stopping the vehicle.
When the Smart Cruise Control is

To resume the cruising speed:
When any actions other than press-
ing the CRUISE switch are taken to
cancel the cruising speed, and when
the system is still ON, the most
recently set speed will be automati-
cally resumed by pressing the RES+
switch.
It will not be resumed, however,
when the vehicle speed is lower than
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) with
a sensor detection of a vehicle in
front, or when the vehicle speed is
lower than approximately 19 mph (30
km/h) without a vehicle in front.
Information
Always check the road conditions
before pressing the RES+ switch to
resume the cruising speed.
To turn OFF the Smart CruiseControl, do one of the follow-ings:
While driving
- Push the CRUISE button
While stopping, with the system ON
- Depress the brake pedal andpush the CRUISE button
Both of these actions cancel theSmart Cruise Control operation.When you want to resume the SmartCruise Control operation, refer to “Toset cruise control speed” on the pre-vious page.

Control mode:
The driver may choose to only use
the Cruise Control mode (speed con-
trol function) by following the direc-
tions below:
1.Turn the smart cruise control sys-tem ON (the cruise indicator will
illuminate, but the system will not
be active).

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
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.
