cle ahead.

obscured with foreign matter such as
snow, this message will appear. In
this case, the system may not func-
tion temporarily, but it does not indi-
cate a malfunction of the Smart
Cruise Control System. Clean the
radar or cover by using a soft cloth.

Limitations of the system
The Smart Cruise Control System
may have limits to its ability to detect
distance to the vehicle ahead due to
road and traffic conditions.
On curves
The Smart Cruise Control Systemmay not detect a moving vehicle in
your lane, and then your vehicle
could accelerate to the set speed.
Also, the vehicle speed will
decrease when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on curves and apply the brakes or
accelerator pedal if necessary.
Do not install accessories
around the radar and do not
replace the bumper by your-
self. It may interfere with the
radar performance.
Always keep the radar and
bumper clean.
To prevent radar cover dam-
age from occurring, wash the
car with a soft cloth.
Do not paint the radar cover.
Do not damage the radar or
radar area by a strong impact.
If the radar moves slightly off
position, the Smart Cruise
Control System will not oper-
ate correctly. If this occurs,
have your vehicle checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er.
Use only a genuine HYUNDAI
radar cover for your vehicle.
