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 traffic conditions.
Driving on a curve
The Smart Cruise Control System
may not 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
accelerator 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 con-
ditions permit safe operation of the
Smart Cruise Control.

Driving your vehicle
Driving on a slope
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 recog-
nized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on
inclines and apply the brake or accel-
erator pedal if necessary.
Changing lanes
A vehicle which moves into your lane
from an adjacent lane cannot be rec-
ognized by the sensor until it is in the
sensor's detection range.
The sensor may not detect immedi-
ately when a vehicle cuts in sudden-
ly. Always pay attention to the traffic,
road and driving conditions.
If a slower vehicle moves into your
lane, your speed may decrease to
maintain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.
If a faster vehicle which moves into
your lane, your vehicle will acceler-
ate to the set speed.
Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles in your lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-
cles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-
decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such
as trailers with no loads
