y In the following cases, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles ahead
or obstructions.
 


y The rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not reÀ ect radio waves effectively, such as
an unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top,
vehicles with a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
 


y Vehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for reÀ ecting radio waves.



y Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its
tires and onto your windshield.
 


y The trunk/luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger
seats are occupied.
 


y Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.



y During inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.



y When driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves. 



y In the following cases, the radar sensor (front) may detect vehicles in the opposite lane or
surrounding obstructions, or it may not be able to detect vehicles ahead or obstructions.
 


y The beginning and end of a curve.



y Roads with continuous curves.



y Narrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.



y The vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.



y The vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage. 



y Roads with repeated up and down slopes



y Driving on poor roads or unpaved roads.



y The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.



y A vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane. 



y To prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tires of the same speci¿ ed size,
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires
with signi¿ cantly different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle. (Including
the temporary spare tire)
 


y If the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.



y When driving on roads with little traf¿ c and few vehicles ahead or obstructions for the
radar sensor (front) to detect, Forward Obstruction Warning/Smart City Brake Support
(FOW/SCBS) warning light (amber) temporarily illuminates, however, this does not
indicate a problem.

Cruise Control
Cruise Main Indicator Light
(Amber)/Cruise Set Indicator
Light (Green)

The indicator light has two colors.
Cruise Main Indicator Light (Amber)
The indicator light illuminates amber
when the cruise control system is
activated.
Cruise Set Indicator Light (Green)
The indicator light illuminates green when
a cruising speed has been set.
Activation/Deactivation
To activate the system, press the ON
switch. The cruise main indicator light
(Amber) illuminates.
To deactivate the system, press the OFF
switch.
The cruise main indicator light (Amber)
turns off.
WARNING
Always turn off the cruise control system
when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control system in an
activation-ready state while the cruise
control is not in use is dangerous as
the cruise control could unexpectedly
activate if the activation button is
accidentally pressed, and result in loss
of vehicle control and an accident.

N O T E
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition
is switched OFF with the cruise control
system operable, the system will be
operable when the ignition is switched ON
the next time.

To Set Speed
1. Activate the cruise control system
by pressing the ON switch. The
cruise main indicator light (Amber)
illuminates.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which
must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).
3. Set the cruise control by pressing the
SET
or SET switch at the desired
speed. The cruise control is set at the
moment the SET
or SET switch is
pressed. Release the accelerator pedal
simultaneously. The cruise set indicator
light (Green) illuminates.

N O T E
 


y The cruise control speed setting cannot
be performed under the following
conditions:
 


y (Automatic transaxle) 
 The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
 


y (Manual transaxle) 
 The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
 


y The parking brake is applied. 



y Release the SET or SET switch at
the desired speed, otherwise the speed
will continue increasing while the SET

switch is pressed and held, and
continue decreasing while the SET

switch is pressed and held (except when
the accelerator pedal is depressed).

When Driving
Cruise Control
To Temporarily Cancel
To temporarily cancel the system, use one
of these methods:
 


y Slightly depress the brake pedal.



y (Manual transaxle) 
 Depress the clutch pedal.



y Press the CANCEL switch.
If the RESUME switch is pressed when
the vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher, the system reverts to the previously
set speed.
N O T E
 


y If any of the following conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled.
 


y The parking brake is applied.



y (Automatic transaxle) 
 The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
 


y (Manual transaxle) 
 The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
 


y When the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be re-set.
 


y (Automatic transaxle) 
 The cruise control cannot be cancelled
while driving in manual mode (selector
lever shifted from D to M position).
Therefore, engine braking will not be
applied even if the transaxle is shifted
down to a lower gear. If deceleration is
required, lower the set speed or depress
the brake pedal.

To Deactivate
To deactivate the system, press the OFF
switch.

When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System *
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four tires. If
the air pressure of one or more tires is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster and operating a beep
sound. The system monitors the tire pressures indirectly using the data sent from the ABS
wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the speci¿ ed
tire pressure (value on the tire pressure label). Follow the procedure and perform the
initialization.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on page 4-126 .
The warning light À ashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-21 .

When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
N O T E
Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing of the warning may
be faster or slower in the following cases:
 


y The size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the speci¿ cation.



y The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others, or the level of tire
wear is excessively different between them.
 


y A run-À at tire, studless tire, snow tire, or tire chains are used.



y An emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may À ash
and then continue illuminating).
 


y A tire is repaired using the emergency À at tire repair kit.



y The tire pressure is excessively higher than the speci¿ ed pressure, or the tire pressure is
suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire burst during driving.
 


y The vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle is
stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.
 


y The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.



y Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive
driving on a winding road.
 


y Load on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of
the vehicle.
 


y System initialization has not been implemented with the speci¿ ed tire pressure.

When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization
In the following cases, system
initialization must be performed so that the
system operates normally.
 


y A tire pressure is adjusted.



y Tire rotation is performed.



y A tire or wheel is replaced.



y The battery is replaced or completely
drained.
 


y The tire pressure monitoring system
warning light is illuminated.


Initialization method

1. Park the car in a safe place and ¿ rmly
apply the parking brake.
2. Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire
pressure of all four (4) tires to the
speci¿ ed pressure indicated on the tire
pressure label located on the driver's
door frame (door open).
Refer to Tires on page 9-10 .
3. Switch the ignition ON.
4. While the vehicle is parked, press
and hold the tire pressure monitoring
system set switch and verify that
the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light in the instrument cluster
À ashes twice and a beep sound is heard
once.


CAUTION
If the system initialization is performed
without adjusting the tire pressure,
the system cannot detect the normal
tire pressure and it may not illuminate
the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light even if a tire pressure is
low, or it may illuminate the light even
if the pressures are normal.
Adjust the tire pressure on all four
tires and initialize the system when
the warning light is turned on. If the
warning light turns on for a reason
other than a fl at tire, the tire pressure
of all four tires may have decreased
naturally.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed while
the vehicle is being driven.

install any optional parts that can interfere with the camera view, such as illuminating
parts or parts made of reÀ ective material.




y It may be dif¿ cult to see the display under the following conditions, however, it does not
indicate a malfunction.
 


y In darkened areas.



y When the temperature around the lens is high/low.



y When the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high humidity.



y When foreign material such as mud is stuck around the camera.



y When the camera lens reÀ ects sunlight or headlight beams. 



y Image display may be delayed if the temperature around the camera is low.
