Information
At a stop, if there is a vehicle in front of
your vehicle, Smart Cruise Control turns
on when the brake pedal is depressed.
Overtaking Acceleration Assist (Lane
Changing Mode - Overtaking another
vehicle while Smart Cruise Control is
enabled)
When Smart Cruise Control is enabled
and your vehicle is approaching another
vehicle in your current lane, if you
activate the left turn signal to merge
in order to overtake the vehicle, Smart
Cruise Control will temporarily disable
controlling the approaching distance
until you overtake the vehicle.
If this occurs, your vehicle will not
decelerate in order to maintain the set
following distance with the vehicle in
front.
This feature will be applied when the
following conditions are met:
• Your vehicle speed is above 40 mph
(60 km/h)
• The hazard warning flashers are off
• The feature detects another vehicle in
front of your vehicle
• Deceleration is not needed to
maintain distance with the vehicle in
front
WARNING
• When the turn signal indicator is
turned on to the left while there is
a vehicle ahead, the vehicle may
accelerate temporarily. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all times.
• Regardless of your countries driving
direction, Overtaking Acceleration
Assist will operate when the
conditions are satisfied. When
using the function in countries with
different driving direction, always
check the road conditions at all
times.

WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Smart Cruise Control:
• Smart Cruise Control does not
substitute for proper and safe
driving. It is the responsibility 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 conditions and control your
vehicle speed.
• Keep Smart Cruise Control off when
the function is not in use to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
• Do not open the door or leave the
vehicle when Smart Cruise Control
is operating, even if the vehicle is
stopped.
• Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle distance.
• Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle 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 situations
from occurring.
• Vehicle speed may decrease on an
upward slope and increase on a
downward slope.
• Always be aware of situations such
as when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.
• When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, we recommend that
Smart Cruise Control is turned off
due to safety reasons.
• Turn off Smart Cruise Control when
your vehicle is being towed.• Smart Cruise Control may not
operate properly 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 prevent 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 sudden situations from
occurring.
• Always be aware of the surroundings
and drive safely, even though a
warning message 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 displayed and warning sound may
not be generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound
of Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist if the surrounding 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.
Information
• Smart Cruise Control may not operate
for 15 seconds after the vehicle is
started or the front view camera or
front radar is initialized.
