NOTICE
When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following precau-
tions:
If an emergency stop is neces-
sary, you must apply the brakes.
The vehicle cannot be stopped by
using the Smart Cruise Control
System.
Keep a safe distance according
to road conditions and vehicle
speed. If the vehicle to vehicle
distance is too close during a
high-speed driving, a serious col-
lision may result.
Always maintain sufficient brak-
ing distance and decelerate your
vehicle by applying the brakes if
necessary.
The Smart Cruise Control System
cannot recognize a stopped vehi-
cle, pedestrians or an oncoming
vehicle. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.

WARNING (Continued)
Vehicles moving in front of you
with a frequent lane change may
cause a delay in the system's
reaction or may cause the system
to react to a vehicle actually in an
adjacent lane. Always drive cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.
Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance.
The Smart Cruise Control System
may not recognize complex driv-
ing situations so always pay
attention to driving conditions
and control your vehicle speed.

Information
• Install tire chains on the front tires. Itshould be noted that installing tire
chains on the tires will provide a greater
driving force, but will not prevent side
skids.
• Do not install studded tires without first checking local, state and municipal reg-
ulations for possible restrictions against
their use.
Chain installation
When installing tire chains, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and mount
them as tightly possible. Drive slowly
(less than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with chains
installed. If you hear the chains contact-
ing the body or chassis, stop and tighten
them. If they still make contact, slow
down until the noise stops. Remove the
tire chains as soon as you begin driving
on cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains, park the
vehicle on level ground away from traffic.
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning
Flasher and place a triangular emer-
gency warning device behind the vehicle
(if available). Always place the vehicle in
P (Park), apply the parking brake and
turn off the engine before installing snow
chains. - When using tire chains:
Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage your
vehicle's brake lines, suspension,
body and wheels.
Use SAE "S" class or wire chains.
If you hear noise caused by chains contacting the body, retighten the
chain to prevent contact with the
vehicle body.
To prevent body damage, retighten the chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).
Do not use tire chains on vehicles equipped with aluminum wheels. If
unavoidable, use a wire type chain.
Use wire chains less than 0.59 inch (15 mm) wide to prevent damage to
the chain’s connection.
NOTICEi
The use of tire chains may adverse-
ly affect vehicle handling:
Drive less than 20 mph
(30 km/h) or the chain manufac-
turer's recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.
Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other
road hazards, which may cause
the vehicle to bounce.
Avoid sharp turns or locked
wheel braking.
WARNING
If your vehicle has 225/40R18 size
tires, do not use tire chain; they can
damage your vehicle (wheel, sus-
pension and body).
