To temporarily accelerate with
Smart Cruise Control on
If you want to speed up temporarily
when 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 toggle switch down
(SET-) at increased speed, the set speed
is updated.
Information
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.
Smart Cruise Control will be
temporarily canceled when:
ODN8069048
Cancelled manually
• Depressing the brake pedal.
• Pushing the CANCEL (CNCL) button
located on the steering wheel.
Smart Cruise Control turns off
temporarily when the Set Speed and
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Distance indicator on
the LCD display turns off.
The cruise indicator (
) is illuminated
continuously.
Cancelled automatically
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The vehicle is shifted to N (Neutral), R
(Reverse) or P (Park).
• The parking brake is applied.
• The vehicle speed is over 120 mph
(190 km/h).
• The ESC (Electronic Stability Control),

Sensor to detect distance to the
vehicle ahead (Front view camera
and Front Radar)
•„Front view camera
ODN8A069024
Front view camera
The front view camera is a sensor
detecting the lane. If the sensors are
covered with snow, rain or foreign
substance, the system may temporarily
be cancelled and not work properly
until the system is cancelled due to the
degradation of the sensor’s detection
performance. Always keep the sensor
clean.

R
efer to “Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)”
for cautions for the front camera.
•„Front radar
ODN8A069023
Front radar
The front radar is a sensor detecting
vehicles in front and maintains the
distance between them. If the sensors are covered with snow, rain
or foreign substance, the system may
temporarily be cancelled and not work
properly until the system is cancelled
due to the degradation of the sensor’s
detection performance. Always keep the
sensor clean.
CAUTION
•
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 adversely
affect the sensing performance of
the radar.
• Always keep the radar sensor and
lens cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unnecessary
force on the radar sensor or sensor
cover. If the sensor is forcibly
moved out of proper alignment,
Smart Cruise Control system
may not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may not
be displayed. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, Smart Cruise Control
system may not operate properly.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to
repair or replace a damaged sensor
or sensor cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.

Warning message
OTM058061L
Smart Cruise Control disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, Smart Cruise
Control system operation may stop
temporarily. If this occurs, a warning
message will appear on the cluster LCD
display. Remove any dirt, snow, or debris
and clean the radar sensor lens cover
before operating Smart Cruise Control
system. Smart Cruise Control system
may not properly activate, if the radar is
totally covered, or if any substance is not
detected after turning on the engine
(e.g. in an open terrain).
Information
For the SCC operation is temporarily
stopped if the radar is blocked, but you
wish to use cruise control mode (speed
control function), you must convert to the
cruise control mode (refer to "To convert
to Cruise Control mode" in the following
page.

Lane changing
ODN8H069196
• 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 immediately
when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.
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 accelerate
to the set speed.
Vehicle recognition
ODN8H069198
• Some vehicles in your lane cannot be
recognized by the sensor:
- Narr

ow vehicles such as
motorcycles or bicycles
- V

ehicles offset to one side
- Slo

w-moving vehicles or sudden-
decelerating vehicles
- S

topped vehicles
- V

ehicles with small rear profile such
as trailers with no loads
• A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized
correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the v

ehicle is pointing
upwards due to overloading in the
luggage compartment
- While the s

teering wheel is
operating
- When driving t

o one side of the lane
- When driving on narr

ow lanes or on
curves
Apply the brake or accelerator pedal if
necessary.

• The shadow is on the lane marker by
a median strip, trees, guardrail, noise
barriers, etc.
• The lane markers are complicated or a
structure substitutes for the lines such
as a construction area.
• There are crosswalk signs or other
symbols on the road.
• The lane marker in a tunnel is stained
with oil, etc.
• The lane suddenly disappears such as
at the intersection.

a wet road surface such as a puddle in
the road.
• The field of view in front is obstructed
by sun glare. •
There is not enough distance between
you and the vehicle in front to be
able to detect the lane marker or the
vehicle ahead is driving on the lane
marker.
• Driving on a steep grade, over a hill, or
when driving on a curved road.
• The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
• The surrounding of the inside rear
view mirror temperature is high due to
direct sunlight, etc.
• The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a speed
bump or driving on a steep up/down
or right/left grade

ehicle is not approaching your vehicle or
- when the o

ther vehicle slows down.
- The v

ehicle’s approaching speed is decreased.

Detecting Sensors
ODN8069031L
The rear corner radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting the
side and rear areas. Always keep the rear
bumper clean for proper operation of the
system.
CAUTION
• The system may not work properly
when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper has
been replaced or repaired.
• The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
• Always keep the sensors clean.
• NEVER arbitrarily disassemble the
sensor component nor apply any
impact on the sensor component.
• Be careful not to apply unnecessary
force on the radar sensor or sensor
cover. If the sensor is forcibly moved
out of proper alignment, the system
may not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may not
be displayed. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Do not apply foreign objects such as
a bumper sticker or a bumper guard
near the radar sensor or apply paint
to the sensor area. Doing so may
adversely affect the performance of
the sensor.
