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.

Limitations of the system
Smart Cruise Control system may
have limits to its ability to detect dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead due to
road and traffic conditions.
On curves
On curves, 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
rapidly slow down when the vehicle
ahead is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed
on curves and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road and driving conditions ahead. Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal
according to the road and driving
conditions ahead. Apply the accel-
erator pedal and select the appro-
priate set speed. Check to be sure
that the road conditions permit safe
operation of Smart Cruise Control
system.

Driving your vehicle
On inclines
During uphill or downhill driving,
Smart Cruise Control system may
not immediately detect a moving
vehicle in your lane, and may cause
your vehicle to accelerate to the set
speed. Also, the vehicle speed will
rapidly slow down when the vehicle
ahead is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed
on inclines and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead.
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 sensor may not detect imme-
diately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.
If a vehicle which moves into your
lane is slower than your vehicle,
reduce your speed to maintain the
distance to the vehicle ahead. If a vehicle which moves into your
lane is faster than your vehicle,
your vehicle will continue to main-
tain the selected speed.

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.
Vehicle recognition

cannot be recognized by the sensor
as follows:
- 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 profiles
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
trunk or luggage area.
- While making turns by steering
- When driving to one side of the
lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or
on curves
Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal accord-
ing to the road condition ahead and

Driving your vehicle
When vehicles are at a standstill
and the vehicle in front of you
changes to the next lane, be care-
ful when your vehicle starts to
move because it may not immedi-
ately recognize the stopped vehicle
in front of you.
In this case, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance. Always look out for pedestrians
when your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead. Always be cautious when
approaching vehicles that are taller
with higher clearance, or vehicles
carrying loads that stick out of the
back of the vehicle.
