Smart Cruise Control Vehicle-
to-Vehicle Distance
To set Vehicle-to-Vehicle
Distance
When the Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem is ON, you can set and maintain
the distance from the vehicle ahead
of you without pressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal. Each time the button is pressed, the
vehicle to vehicle distance changes
as follows:
For example, if you drive at 90 km/h (56 mph), the distance is maintained
as follows:
Distance 4 - approximately 52.5 m
(172 feet)
Distance 3 - approximately 40 m (130 feet)
Distance 2 - approximately 32.5 m (106 feet)
Distance 1 - approximately 25 m (82 feet)
Information
The distance is set to the last set dis-
tance when the system is used for the
first time after starting the engine.

When there is a vehicle aheadof you in your lane:
Your vehicle speed will slow down or speed up to maintain the select-
ed distance.
If the vehicle ahead speeds up, your vehicle will travel at a steady
cruising speed after accelerating tothe set speed. When using the Smart Cruise

Sensor to Detect Distance to
the Vehicle Ahead
The Smart Cruise Control uses a
sensor to detect distance to the vehi-cle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the sensor clean.
If the vehicle ahead (vehicle
speed: less than 30 km/h (20
mph)) disappears to the next
lane, the warning chime will
sound and a message "Watch
for surrounding vehicles" will
appear. Adjust your vehicle
speed for vehicles or objects
that can suddenly appear in
front of you by depressing thebrake pedal.
Always pay attention to the road condition ahead.
CAUTION
OAD058145N
Even if the warning chime is
not activated, always payattention to the driving condi-
tions to prevent dangerous
situations from occurring.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offsetthe system warning sounds.

To Convert to Cruise Control Mode
The driver may choose to switch to
use the conventional Cruise Controlmode (speed only control function)
by following these steps:
1. Push the CRUISE button on thesteering wheel to turn the system
on. The cruise ( ) indi-
cator will illuminate.
2. Push and hold the Vehicle-to- Vehicle Distance button for more
than 2 seconds.
3. Choose between "Smart Cruise Control" and "Cruise Control".
When the system is canceled using
the CRUISE button or the CRUISE
button is used after the engine is
turned on, the Smart Cruise Control
mode will turn on.
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.
On curves
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.
When using the conventional
Cruise Control mode, you must
manually adjust the distance to
other vehicles by depressing
the brake pedal. The system
does not automatically adjust
the distance to vehicles in front
of you.

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.
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
accelerator pedal if necessary.
Lane changing
A vehicle which moves into yourlane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.
The radar may not detect immedi- ately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. 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 vehicleahead.
If a faster vehicle which moves into your lane, your vehicle will acceler-ate to the set speed.

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 A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing
upwards due to overloading in the
luggage compartment
- While the steering wheel is operat- ing
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves

When driving in stop-and-go traffic,and a stopped vehicle in front of
you merges out of the lane, the
system may not immediately
detect the new vehicle that is now
in front of you. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance. Always look out for pedestrians
when your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead. Always be cautious for vehicles
with higher height or vehicles car-
rying loads that sticks out from the
back of the vehicle.

Information
The Smart Cruise Control system
may not operate temporarily due to:
 Electrical interference
 Modifying the suspension
 Differences of tire abrasion or tire pressure
 Installing different type of tiresiVehicles moving in front of
you with a frequent lane
change may cause a delay in
the system's reaction or maycause the system to react to a
vehicle actually in an adjacent
lane. Always drive cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-ring.
Always be aware of the select-
ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance. The driver
should not solely rely on the
system but always pay atten-tion to driving conditions and
control your vehicle speed.
The Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem may not recognize com-
plex driving situations so
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following pre-cautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes. The vehicle cannot be
stopped at every emergency
situation by using the Smart
Cruise Control system.
Keep a safe distance accord-
ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close
during a high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
The Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-ring.
