Safety system of your vehicle

In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.

Exterior Lights
Lighting control
To operate the lights, turn the knob at
the end of the control lever to one of
the following positions:
1. OFF position
2. AUTO headlamp position
3. Parking lamp position
4. Headlamp position
Daytime running light (DRL)
The Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
can make it easier for others to see
the front of your vehicle during the
day, especially after dawn and before
sunset.
The DRL system will turn the dedi-
cated lamp OFF when :
The headlamps are ON.
The parking lamps are ON.
The vehicle is turned off.
The parking brake is engaged.
AUTO headlamp position
The parking lamp and headlamp will
be turned ON or OFF automatically
depending on the amount of daylight
as measured by the ambient light
sensor (1) on the center dash.
Even with the AUTO headlamp fea-
ture in operation, it is recommended
to manually turn ON the headlamps
when driving at night, driving in rainy
or foggy conditions, or when entering
dark areas such as tunnels or under-
ground parking facilities.

tem May Not Operate
Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system may not oper-
ate normally when any of the
following occur:
The sensor is covered with dirt or
debris such as snow or ice, or the
sensor cover is blocked.

Warning system may experi-
ence a malfunction when the
following occurs:
Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
Heavy rain or water spray is present.
Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sensor.

Any non-factory equipment or acces-
sories have been installed, or if the
vehicle bumper height or sensor
installation has been modified.

when:
Outside air temperature is extreme-
ly hot or cold.
The following objects may not
be recognized by the sensor:
Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.

Cancelling the Smart
Regeneration System:
Cancelled manually
Pulling and holding the right side
paddle shifter for more than 1 sec-
ond.
The Smart Regeneration System
turns off temporarily. Note that the
"AUTO" indicator in the LCD dis-
play turns off.
Cancelled automatically
- The vehicle is shifted to N
(Neutral), R (Reverse) or P
(Park).
- Cruise Control system (including
Smart Cruise Control system) is
enabled.
- The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) or ABS is activated.
Resuming the Smart
Regeneration System
To re-activate the Smart
Regeneration System while driving,
pull and hold the right side paddle
shifter for more than 1 second again.
Note that the "AUTO" indicator in the
LCD display turns back on, signaling
that the Smart Regeneration System
is enabled again.
Disabling the Smart
Regeneration System
To turn off the system, shift to P (Park)
and deselect 'User Settings →
Convenience →Smart Regeneration'
on the User Settings mode.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Front
Recognition - Front Radar
Sensor
In order for the Smart Regeneration
System to operate properly, always
make sure the radar sensor cover is
clean and free of dirt, snow, and
debris. Dirt, snow, or foreign sub-
stances on the lens may adversely
affect the sensing performance of
the sensor. In this case, the system
operation may stop temporarily and
not operate normally.
Do not apply license plate
frame or foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may adverse-
ly affect the sensing perform-
ance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor
and lens cover clean and free
of dirt and debris.
CAUTION
When the Smart Regeneration
System is cancelled automati-
cally, adjust the vehicle speed
directly by depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal
according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
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.
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 (When the vehi-
cle ahead drives away, the system
may not detect a stopped vehicle.)
- Vehicles with small rear profile
such as trailers with no loadsA 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.

To temporarily accelerate with
Smart Cruise Control on
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the Smart Cruise Control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with Smart Cruise Control operation
or change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
If you push the switch down (SET-) at
increased speed, the cruising speed
will be set again pedal.
Smart Cruise Control set speed
will be temporarily canceled
when:
Canceled manually
Depressing the brake pedal.
Pushing the CANCEL button locat-
ed on the steering wheel.
Smart Cruise Control turns off tem-
porarily when the Set Speed and
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Distance indicator
on the LCD display turns off.
The cruise indicator is illuminated
continuously.
Canceled automatically
The driver's door is opened.
The vehicle is shifted to N
(Neutral), R (Reverse) or P (Park).
The EPB (Electronic Parking
Brake) is applied.
The vehicle speed is over 110 mph
(180 km/h).
The vehicle stops on a steep
incline.
The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control), TCS (Traction Control
System) or ABS is operating.
The ESC is turned off.
The sensor or the cover is dirty or
blocked with foreign matter.
The vehicle is stopped for a certain
period of time.
The accelerator pedal is continu-
ously depressed for a long period
of time. Be careful when accelerating
temporarily, because the speed
is not controlled automatically
at this time even if there is a
vehicle 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,
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.
