When there is a vehicle ahead
of 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 to
the set speed.
If distance from the front vehicle
has been changed due to acceler-
ating or decelerating of the front
vehicle, the distance on the LCD
display may change. (Only when
there is a vehicle in front, the front
vehicle appears in the LCD dis-
play.)When using the Smart Cruise
Control System:
The warning message
appears 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.

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.
Warning message
SCC (Smart Cruise Control) dis-
abled. Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
Smart Cruise Control System opera-
tion may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will
appear on the cluster 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 covered,
or if any substance is not detected
after the vehicle is in the ready ( )
mode (e.g. in an open terrain).
Information
For the SCC operation is temporarily
stopped if the radar is blocked, but
you wish to use cruise control mode
(speed control function), you must
convert to the cruise control mode
(refer to "To convert to Cruise
Control mode" in the following page.

Check SCC (Smart Cruise Control)
system
The message will appear when the
vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
We recommend that you take your
vehicle to an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system checked.
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. (Continued)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
Cruise Control System may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. Have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around
the radar sensor, the Smart
Cruise Control System may
not operate properly. We rec-
ommend you to have the vehi-
cle inspected by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI
parts to repair or replace a
damaged sensor or sensor
cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.

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.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
The Smart Cruise Control
System cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
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 cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.

The Leading Vehicle
Departure Alert system is
only a convenient auxiliary for
the driver. The system can’t
announce the alarm when a
leading vehicle departs in real
time.
The driver must check and
determine real conditions and
then start to drive even if the
system notified the leading
vehicle departure.
WARNING
The Leading Vehicle
Departure Alert (LVDA) sys-
tem is quite related with the
front camera in the vehicle for
the better performance. For
more information of front
camera, refer to "Lane
Keeping Assist (LKA)".
It may not provide Vehicle
Departure Alert or not proper-
ly operate in the following sit-
uations:
- Leading pedestrian(s) or
bicycle(s) in front of vehicle
- Leading cut-in vehicle(s)
- Leading vehicle’s quick
departure
- Stop on speed bump or
steep hill
- Stop on a right-turn junction
or a curved road
- Stop on shoulder road, rest
area, parking lot

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud and sand, take the
bellow suggestions:
Drive cautiously and keep a longer
braking distance.
Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
When your vehicle is stuck in snow,
mud, or sand, use second gear.
Accelerate slowly to avoid unnec-
essary wheel spin.
Put sand, rock salt, tyre chains or
other non-slip materials under the
wheels to provide additional trac-
tion whilst the vehicle becomes
stuck in ice, snow, or mud.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right and
left to clear the area around your
front wheels. Then, shift back and
forth between R (Reverse) and a for-
ward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and
do not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait
until the wheels stop spinning before
shifting gears. Release the accelera-
tor pedal whilst shifting, and press
lightly on the accelerator pedal whilst
the transmission is in gear. Slowly
spinning the wheels in forward and
reverse directions causes a rocking
motion that may free the vehicle.

Downshifting with a dual clutch
transmission whilst driving on
slippery surfaces can cause an
accident. The sudden change in
tyre speed could cause the
tyres to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery sur-
faces.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and
excessive wheel spin occurs,
the temperature in the tyres can
increase very quickly. If the
tyres become damaged, a tyre
blow out or tyre explosion can
occur. This condition is danger-
ous - you and others may be
injured. Do not attempt this pro-
cedure if people or objects are
anywhere near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehi-
cle, the vehicle can overheat
quickly, possibly causing an
engine compartment fire or
other damage. Try to avoid spin-
ning the wheels as much as
possible to prevent overheating
of either the tyres or the engine.
DO NOT allow the vehicle to
spin the wheels above 56 km/h.

The severe weather conditions of
winter quickly wear out tyres and
cause other problems. To minimise
winter driving problems, you should
take the following suggestions:
Information
Information for Snow Tyres and Tyre
Chains in the national language
(Bulgarian, Hungarian, Icelandic,
Polish) is provided in the Appendix.
Snow or icy conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake
applications, and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine
braking to the fullest extent. Sudden
brake applications on snowy or icy
roads may cause the vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tyres
or to install tyre chains on your tyres.Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to
carry include tyre chains, tow straps
or chains, a flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables,
a window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
Snow tyres
If you mount snow tyres on your vehi-
cle, make sure to use radial tyres of
the same size and load range as the
original tyres. Mount snow tyres on
all four wheels to balance your vehi-
cle’s handling in all weather condi-
tions. The traction provided by snow
tyres on dry roads may not be as
high as your vehicle's original equip-
ment tyres. Check with the tyre deal-
er for maximum speed recommenda-
tions.
Information
Do not install studded tyres without
first checking local and municipal regu-
lations for possible restrictions against
their use.

Snow tyres should be equiva-
lent in size and type to the vehi-
cle's standard tyres. Otherwise,
the safety and handling of your
vehicle may be adversely affect-
ed.
