Driving your vehicle
A vehicle will appear in front on the cluster LCD display when a vehicle
is actually detected in front of your
vehicle.
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 to
the set speed.
If distance from the front vehicle has been changed due to acceler-
ating or decelerating of front vehi-
cle, the distance on the cluster
LCD display may change.

When using the Smart Cruise
Control System:
The warning messageappears and warning chime
sounds if the vehicle is unable
to maintain the selected dis-
tance from the vehicle ahead.
If the warning message appears and warning chime
sounds, depress the brake
pedal to actively adjust the
vehicle speed, and the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead.
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.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the system warning sounds.

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.
If you push the smart cruise control toggle switch (RES+ or SET-) while
Auto Hold and smart cruise control
is operating the Auto Hold will be
released regardless of accelerator
pedal operation and the vehicle will
start to move. The AUTO HOLD
indicator changes from green to
white.
If the vehicle ahead (vehicle
speed: less than 20 mph (30
km/h)) moves to the next lane,
the warning chime will sound
and a message "Watch for sur-
rounding 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.

Driving your vehicle
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 systemmay 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.
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.OHI058305L

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.
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
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
Apply the brake or accelerator pedal
if necessary.

Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle may accelerate when a vehicle ahead of you disappears.
When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution.
When driving in stop-and-go traffic, and a 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 main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed
in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance. 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.

The Smart Cruise Control system
may not operate temporarily due
to:
Electrical interference
A modified suspension
Differences of tire abrasion or
tire pressure
Installing different type of tires
NOTICE
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem may not recognize com-
plex driving situations so
always pay attention to driving
conditions and control your
vehicle speed.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem may recognize a pedestri-
an, bicycle, motorcycle, etc. as
a vehicle. Always, look ahead
cautiously to prevent unex-
pected and sudden situations
from occurring.
Turn off the Smart Cruise Control system when the
vehicle is being towed.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem may operate limitedly
when towing a trailer or vehi-
cle so always drive cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following pre-
cautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-essary, you must apply the
brakes. The smart cruise con-
trol system cannot guarantee
the stop for every emergency
situation.
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
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 pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
Vehicles moving in front of you with a frequent lane change
may cause a delay in the sys-
tem's reaction or may cause the
system to react to a vehicle
actually in an adjacent lane.
Always drive cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
Always be aware of the select- ed speed and vehicle to vehicle
distance. The driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention to driving
conditions and control your
vehicle speed.
