- When driving on rainy, icy, or
snow-covered roads
- When driving on a steep
downhill or uphill
- When driving in windy areas
- When driving in parking lots
- When driving near crash
barriers
- When driving on a sharp
curve
- When driving with a limited
view (possibly due to bad
weather, such as fog, snow,
rain or sandstorm)
- When the vehicle sensing
ability decreases due to a
vehicle modification result-
ing level difference between
the vehicle'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 :

inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the Smart Cruise Control
system only when travelling
on open highways in good
weather.
Do not use the Smart Cruise

safe to keep the vehicle at a
constant speed:
- When driving in heavy traffic
or when traffic conditions
make it difficult to drive at a
constant speed
WARNING

For example, if you drive at 90 km/h,
the is distance maintain as follows:
Distance 4 - approximately 52.5 m
Distance 3 - approximately 40 m
Distance 2 - approximately 32.5 m
Distance 1 - approximately 25 m
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 the lane ahead is clear:
The vehicle speed will maintain the
set speed.
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
may be changed.

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-) whilst Auto Hold and
advanced 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 equipped with EPB
(Electronic Parking Brake)).
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.

tion may stop 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
