In traffic situation
Use switch or pedal to accelerate
In traffic, your vehicle will stop if the
vehicle ahead of you stops. Also, if
the vehicle ahead of you starts
moving, your vehicle will start as
well. However, if the vehicle stops
for more than 3 seconds, you must
depress the accelerator pedal or
push up the toggle switch (RES+)
or push down the toggle switch
(SET-) to start driving.
Even if the warning message
does not appear and warning
chime does not sound, always
pay attention to the driving
conditions to prevent danger-
ous situations from occur-
ring.
The SCC warning chime may
be difficult to hear if the audio
system volume is set to a high
level.
If the vehicle ahead (vehicle
speed: less than 20 mph (30
km/h)) 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 the
brake pedal.
Always pay attention to the road
condition ahead.

snow-covered roads
- Driving on a steep downhill
or uphill
- Driving in windy areas
- Driving in parking lots
- Driving near crash barriers
- Driving on a sharp curve
- Driving with limited view
(possibly due to bad weath-
er, such as fog, snow, rain or
sandstorm)
- The vehicle's sensing ability
decreases due to vehicle
modification, resulting in a
level difference of the vehi-
cle's front and rear
Unexpected situations may
lead to possible accidents.
Pay attention continuously to
road conditions and driving
even when the smart cruise
control system is being oper-
ated.
Take the following precautions :
Always set the vehicle speed
under the speed limit.
If the Smart Cruise Control is
left on, (cruise indicator light
in the instrument cluster is
illuminated) the Smart Cruise
Control can be activated unin-
tentionally. Keep the Smart
Cruise Control system off
(cruise indicator light OFF)
when the Smart Cruise
Control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the Smart Cruise Control
system only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather.
Do not use the Smart Cruise
Control when it may not be
safe to keep the vehicle at a
constant speed.
Do not use when:
- Driving in heavy traffic or
when traffic conditions make
it difficult to drive at a con-
stant speed

Smart Cruise Control Radar
Sensor
The Smart Cruise Control uses a
radar sensor to detect distance to the
vehicle 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.
Warning message
Smart Cruise Control disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
Smart Cruise Control system opera-
tion may be disabled 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 totally contaminated, or if
any substance is not detected after
turning on the engine (e.g. in an
open terrain).
Information
For the SCC operation is temporarily
stopped if the radar is blocked, but
you wish to use conventional cruise
control mode (speed only control func-
tion), you must convert to the cruise
control mode (refer to "To convert to
Cruise Control mode" in the following
page).
i
OTLE058181
OTM058061LDo not apply license plate
frame or 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.
Always keep the radar sensor
and lens cover clean and free
of dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash
the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover.

Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the Smart

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.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 condi-
tions permit safe operation of the
Smart Cruise Control.

Driving your vehicle
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 your
lane 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 vehicle
ahead.
If a faster vehicle which moves into
your lane, your vehicle will acceler-
ate to the set speed.
Detecting vehicles
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
