Driving your vehicle
When operating
(1) Whether there is a vehicle ahead and the selected distance level
are displayed.
(2) Set speed is displayed.
(3) Whether there is a vehicle ahead and the target headway are dis-
played. When temporarily canceled
(1) indicator is displayed.
(2) The previous set speed is shad-
ed.
(3) Vehicle ahead and distance level are not displayed.
Information
• The distance of the front vehicle onthe cluster is displayed according to
the actual distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
• The target distance may vary according to the vehicle speed and
the set distance level. If vehicle
speed is low, even though the vehicle
distance have changed, the change
of the target vehicle distance may be
small.
To temporarily accelerate
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
SET- switch down at increased
speed, the cruising speed will be set
again.
i
Be careful when accelerating
temporarily, because the speed
and distance is not controlled
automatically even if there is a
vehicle in front of you.

OLX2058026L
Take the following precautions
when using Smart Cruise
Control:
Smart Cruise Control does
not substitute for proper and
safe driving. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always
check the speed and distance
to the vehicle ahead.
Smart Cruise Control may not
recognize unexpected and
sudden situations or complex
driving situations, so always
pay attention to driving condi-
tions and control your vehicle
speed.
Keep Smart Cruise Control off
when the function is not in
use to avoid inadvertently set-
ting a speed.
Do not open the door or leave
the vehicle when Smart

Driving your vehicleTurn off Smart Cruise Control
when your vehicle is being
towed.
Smart Cruise Control may not
operate normally if interfered
by strong electromagnetic
waves.
Smart Cruise Control may not
detect an obstacle in front and
lead to a collision. 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
Smart Cruise Control reaction
or may cause Smart Cruise
Control to react to a vehicle
actually in an adjacent lane.
Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring.
Always be aware of the sur-
roundings and drive safely,
even though a warning mes-
sage does not appear or an
audible warning does not
sound.
If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or
warning sound is generated,
Smart Cruise Control warning
message may not be dis-
played and warning sound
may not be generated.
You may not hear the warning
sound of Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist if the sur-
rounding is noisy.
The vehicle manufacturer is
not responsible for any traffic
violation or accidents caused
by the driver.
Always set the vehicle speed
under the speed limit in your
country.Always be aware of the select-
ed speed and headway dis-
tance.
Keep a safe distance accord-
ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the headway
distance is too close during
high-speed driving, a serious
collision may result.
When maintaining distance
with the vehicle ahead, if the
front vehicle disappears,
Smart Cruise Control may
suddenly accelerate to the set
speed. Always be aware of
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
Vehicle speed may decrease
on an upward slope and
increase on a downward
slope.

tions when driving on highways (or
motorways) by using road informa-
tion from the navigation system while
Smart Cruise Control is operating.
Information
• Navigation-based Smart CruiseControl is available only on con-
trolled access road of certain high-
ways.
❈ ❈ Controlled access road indicates
roads with limited entrances and
exits that allow uninterrupted high
speed traffic flow. Only passenger
cars and motorcycles are allowed
on controlled access roads.
• Additional highways may be expand- ed by future navigation updates.
Information

Information
• The time gap could occur betweenthe navigation’s guidance and when
Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control operation starts and ends.
• The speed information on the clus- ter and navigation may differ.
• Even if you are driving at a speed lower than Smart Cruise Control set
speed, acceleration may be limited
by the curve sections ahead.
• If Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating while leaving
the main road to enter an inter-
change, junction, rest area, etc., the
function may operate for a certain
period of time.
• Deceleration by Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may feel it is
not sufficient due to road conditions
such as uneven road surfaces, nar-
row lanes, etc.
i
Driving your vehicle
Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control may not oper-
ate due to the existence of
leading vehicles and the driv-
ing conditions of the vehicle.
Always pay attention to road
and driving conditions while
driving.
When you are towing a trailer
or another vehicle, we recom-
mend that Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control is
turned off due to safety rea-
sons.
After you pass through a toll-
gate on a highway (or motor-
way), Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control will operate
based on the first lane. If you
enter one of the other lanes,
Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control may not oper-
ate properly.
The vehicle will accelerate if
the driver depresses the
accelerator pedal while
Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control is operating,
and the function will not
decelerate the vehicle.
However, if the accelerator
pedal is depressed insuffi-
ciently, the vehicle may decel-
erate.
If the driver accelerates and
releases the accelerator pedal
while Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control is operating,
the vehicle may not deceler-
ate sufficiently or may rapidly
decelerate to a safe speed.
If the curve is too large or too
small, Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control may not
operate.

Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud and sand, take the
below suggestions:
Drive cautiously and keep a longerbraking 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, tire chains or other non-slip materials under the
wheels to provide additional trac-
tion while 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 while shifting, and press
lightly on the accelerator pedal while
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 an automatic
transmission while driving on
slippery surfaces can cause an
accident. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the tires
to skid. Be careful when down-
shifting on slippery surfaces.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and
excessive wheel spin occurs,
the temperature in the tires can
increase very quickly. If the tires
become damaged, a tire blow
out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous -
you and others may be injured.
Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are anywhere
near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle,
the vehicle can overheat quickly,
possibly causing an engine
compartment fire or other dam-
age. Try to avoid spinning the
wheels as much as possible to
prevent overheating of either the
tires or the engine. DO NOT
allow the vehicle to spin the
wheels above 35 mph (56 km/h).
