2. Set speed
3. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The advanced smart cruise control sys‐
tem allows you to program the vehicle to maintain constant speed and dis‐
tance detecting the vehicle ahead with‐
out depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
WARNING
For your safety, please read theowner's manual before using the ad‐vanced smart cruise control system.
NOTICE
To activate advanced smart cruise
control, depress the brake pedal at
least once after turning the engine
start/stop button switch to the ON
position or starting the engine. This
is to check if the brake switch which
is important part to cancel advanced
smart cruise control is in normal
condition.
WARNING
•If the advanced smart cruise con‐trol is left on, (cruise indicator inthe instrument cluster illuminated)the smart cruise control can be ac‐tivated unintentionally. Keep thesmart cruise control system off(cruise indicator turn off) whenthe smart cruise control is notused.
•Use the smart cruise control sys‐tem only when traveling on openhighways in good weather.
•Do not use the smart cruise con‐trol when it may not be safe tokeep the car at a constant speed.For instance:-Highway interchange and toll‐gate
-Road surrounded by abnormallymultiple steel constructions(subway construction, steeltunnel, etc)
-Parking lot
-Lanes beside guard rail on aroad

3. Move the lever down (to SET-), and release it at the desired speed. The
set speed and vehicle to vehicle dis‐
tance on the LCD screen will illumi‐
nate.
4. Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will automatical‐

To increase cruise control set
speed:
0+'
Follow either of these procedures:• Move the lever up (to RES+), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will increase
by 10 km/h (5 mph). Release the lev‐ er at the speed you want.
• Move the lever up (to RES+), and re‐ lease it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 1.0 km/h
(1.0 mph) each time you move the
lever up (to RES+) in this manner.
• You can set the speed to 180 km/h (110 mph).
To decrease the cruise control set
speed:
0+'
Follow either of these procedures:• Move the lever down (to SET-), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will de‐
crease by 10 km/h (5 mph). Release the lever at the speed you want.
• Move the lever down (to SET-), and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 1.0 km/h
(1.0 mph) each time you move the

• You can set the speed to 30 km/h (20 mph).
To temporarily accelerate with the
cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarilywhen the cruise control is on, depress
the accelerator pedal. Increased speed
will not interfere with cruise control op‐ eration or change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
If you move the lever down (to SET-) at
increased speed, the cruising speed will be set again.
NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating tempo‐
rarily, because the speed is not con‐
trolled automatically at this time
even if there is a vehicle in front of
you.

Cancelled manually
The advanced smart cruise control is
temporarily canceled when the brake pedal is depressed or the CANCEL but‐
ton is pressed. The speed and vehicle to
vehicle distance indicator on the cluster is disappeared and the CRUISE indicator
is illuminated continuously.
Cancelled automatically
• The driver's door is opened.
• The shift lever is shifted to N (Neu‐ tral), R (Reverse) or P (Parking). • The EPB (electronic parking brake) is
applied.
• The vehicle speed is over 190 km/h (120 mph).
• The ESC, ABS or TCS is operating.
• The ESC is turned off.
• The sensor or the cover is dirty or blocked with foreign matter.
• When the vehicle is stopped for over 5 minutes.
• The driver starts driving by pushing the lever up (RES +) or down (SET -)
or depressing the accelerator pedal approximately 3 seconds after the
vehicle is stopped by the advanced
smart cruise control system with no
other vehicle ahead or a vehicle stop‐
ped far away in front.
• The accelerator pedal is continuously depressed for a long time.
• The engine RPM is in dangerous range.
• The SCC system has malfunctioned.
Each of these actions will cancel the
advanced smart cruise control opera‐
tion. (the set speed and vehicle to vehi‐
cle distance on the LCD display will go
off.) In a condition the advanced smart
cruise control is cancelled automatical‐
ly, the advanced smart cruise control
will not resume even though the RES+ or SET- lever is moved. Also, the EPB
(electronic parking brake) will be ap‐
plied when the vehicle is stopped. • When activating the ISG mode.
• When activating the AEB (Autono‐ mous Emergency Braking).

For example, if you drive at 90 km/h
(56 mph), the distance maintain as fol‐ lows: Distance 4 - approximately 52.5 mDistance 3 - approximately 40 mDistance 2 - approximately 32.5 mDistance 1 - approximately 25 m
NOTICE
The 'Distance 4' is always set when
the system is used for the first time
after starting the engine.
The advanced smart cruise control
system remember the last vehicle to
