stop temporarily. If this occurs, a warning
message will appear on the LCD display.
Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor lens cover before
operating the Smart Cruise Control
System.
The Smart Cruise Control system may
not properly activate, if the radar is total-
ly contaminated, or if any substance is
not detected after turning ON the engine
(e.g. in an open terrain).

cle to vehicle distance control system is
not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the system
checked.
Do not apply foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect
the sensing performance of the
radar.

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 traf-
fic conditions.
On curves
The Smart Cruise Control System maynot 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 accel-
erator pedal if necessary. Your vehicle speed can be reduced due
to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Apply the accelerator pedal and select
the appropriate set speed. Check to be
sure that the road conditions permit safe
operation of the Smart Cruise Control.
On inclines
During uphill or downhill driving, the
Smart Cruise Control System may not
detect a moving vehicle in your lane,
and cause your vehicle to accelerate to
the set speed. Also, the vehicle speed
will rapidly decrease when the vehicle
ahead is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on inclines and apply the brake or accel-
erator pedal if necessary.
