decelerating should be avoided.) Even if the smart key is in the vehi-
cle, if it is far away from you, the
engine may not start.
When the engine start/stop button is in the ACC position or above, if
any door is opened, the system
checks for the smart key. If the
smart key is not in the vehicle, the

heels, ski boots,etc.) may inter-
fere with your ability to use the
brake, accelerator pedal.
Do not start the vehicle with the accelerator pedal
depressed. The vehicle can
move and lead to an accident.
Wait until the engine rpm is nor- mal. The vehicle may suddenly
move if the brake padel isreleased when the rpm is high.

For smooth operation, depress the
brake pedal when shifting from N(Neutral) to a forward or reverse gear.Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
and shift lever displays the shift lever
position when the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the OFF/ACC/ON position.
WARNING - Automatic
transmission
Always check the surrounding areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a car into D
(Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position; then set the parking
brake fully and shut the engine
off. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol-
lowed in the order identified.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to your
transmission, do not acceler-ate the engine in R (Reverse)or any forward gear positionwith the brakes on.
When stopped on an incline, do not hold the vehicle sta-tionary with engine power.Use the service brake or theparking brake.

1. Cruise indicator
2. Set speed
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain aconstant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal. This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (20mph). CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the cruise control is left on, (CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster is illumi-
nated), the cruise control can
be switched on accidentally.
Keep the cruise control sys-
tem off (CRUISE indicatorlight OFF) when the cruise
control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when driving on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to keep
the vehicle at a constant speed,
for instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-
hill or down-hill roads.
Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control sys-tem.
(Continued)(Continued)
Be careful when drivingdownhill using the cruise con-
trol system, which may
increase the vehicle speed.

To temporarily accelerate with
the cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with cruise control operation orchange the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
If you move the lever down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruisingspeed will be set again.To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift into N (Neutral) with an auto-
matic transaxle.
Move up the lever (to CANCEL) located on the steering wheel.
Decrease the vehicle speed lower than the memory speed by 20 km/h (12 mph).
Decrease the vehicle speed to less than approximately 30 km/h (20mph). Increasing the vehicle speed to
more than approximately 200 km/h(125 mph).
The ESC is operating.
Downshifting to the 2nd gear with manual mode.
Operating the EPB switch. Do not operate the parking brake while
driving except in an emergency sit-uation.
Each of these actions will cancel
cruise control operation (the setspeed in the instrument cluster willgo off), but it will not turn the system off. If you wish to resume cruise con-trol operation, move up the lever (toRES+) located on your steering wheel. You will return to your previ-ously preset speed.

To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 30km/h (20 mph):
If any method other than the
CRUISE lever was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the most recent set speed
will automatically resume when you
move the lever up (to RES+).
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 30 km/h (20 mph).✽✽
NOTICE
Always check the road conditions
when you move the lever up (to
RES+) to resume the speed.To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Move the lever up (to CRUISE). (the CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off)
Turn the engine off.
Both of these actions cancel cruise control operation. If you want toresume cruise control operation,repeat the steps provided in “To set cruise control speed” on the previouspage.

Speed setting
To set cruise control speed:
1. Move the lever up (to CRUISE), to
turn the system on. The CRUISE
indicator light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed. The smart cruise control speed
can be set as follows:
(110mph): when there is no vehi- cle in front
when there is a vehicle in front 3. Move the lever down (to SET-),
and release it at the desired speed.
The set speed and vehicle to vehi-cle distance on the LCD screen will
illuminate.
4. Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will automati-cally be maintained.
If there is a vehicle in front of you, the
speed may decrease to maintain thedistance to the vehicle ahead.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down or speed up slightly while going uphill or downhill.

RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves backwards
from a parking position, the sensor
detects approaching vehicles to the
left or right side direction and gives
information to the driver.Operating conditions
Select RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic
Alert) in "User Settings" under
"Driving Assist" on the instrument
cluster. The system will turn on and
standby to activate.
Select RCTA again, to turn the sys- tem off.
If the vehicle is turned off and on again, the RCTA system will return
to the state right before the vehicle
was turned off. Always turn the
RCTA system off when not in use.
The system is operated when the vehicle speed is below 10km/h with
the shift lever in R (Reverse). The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic
Alert) detecting range is0.5m~20m based on side direc-
tion. If the approaching vehiclespeed is 4 km/h~36 km/h in sens-
ing range, it is detected. However,
the system sensing range is differ-
ent base on conditions. Always payattention to surrounding.
