Although Smart Cruise Control will
operate to a maximum setting of up
to 180 km/h (110 mph), all local
speed limit laws must always be
followed.To decrease Smart Cruise Control
set speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Push the switch down (to SET-), and
hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
decrease by 10 km/h (5 mph).
Release the switch at the speed
you want.
Push the switch down (to SET-),
and release it immediately. The
cruising speed will decrease by 1.0
km/h (1.0 mph) each time you
move the switch down (to SET-) in
this manner.
You can set the speed to 30 km/h
(20 mph).
To temporarily accelerate with
Smart Cruise Control on :
If you want to speed up temporarily
when Cruise Control is on, depress
the accelerator pedal. Increased
speed will not interfere with Smart

the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
If you move the switch down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruising
speed will be set again.
WARNING
Check driving conditions before
using the switch as driving
speed increases rapidly when
you push up and hold the
switch.

Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control operating
If temporary deceleration is required
in the standby state and Navigation-
based Smart Cruise Control is oper-
ating, the green ( ) symbol will
illuminate on the cluster.
If the Set Speed Auto Change func-
tion operates, the green ( )sym-
bol and green set speed will illumi-
nate on the cluster, and an audible
alarm will sound.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Highway Auto Curve Slowdown and
Set Speed Auto Change function
uses the same ( ) symbol.
Highway Auto Curve Slowdown
Depending on the curve ahead on
the highway (or motorway), the
vehicle will decelerate, and after
passing the curve, the vehicle will
accelerate to Smart Cruise Control
set speed.
Vehicle deceleration time may dif-
fer depending on the vehicle speed
and the degree of the curve on the
road. The higher the driving speed,
the faster the vehicle will deceler-
ate.Limitations of Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control
Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control may not operate normally
under the following circumstances:
The navigation is not working prop-
erly.
The navigation is not updated to
include the latest information about
road curvature and changes.
Speed limit and road information in
the navigation is not updated
The map information and the actu-
al road is different because of real-
time GPS data or map information
error
The navigation searches for a
route while driving
GPS signals are blocked in areas
such as a tunnel
A road that divides into two or
more roads and joins again
The driver goes off course the
route set in the navigation
The route to the destination is
changed or canceled by resetting
the navigation (including TPEG
change)

Driving your vehicle
After you pass through a tollgateon a highway, Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control operates
based on the first lane. If you enter
one of the other lanes, the function
might not properly decelerate.
The vehicle will accelerate if the driver depresses the accelerate
pedal while Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control is operating,
and function will not decelerate the
vehicle. If not depressing the accel-
erator pedal sufficiently, the vehicle
speed may decrease.
If the driver accelerates and releases the accelerator pedal
while the Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control is operating, the
vehicle may not decelerate suffi-
ciently 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.✽ ✽ NOTICE
• When the function is activated, the
vehicle decelerates automatically
before reaching the curved road
according to its curvature, and the
driving speed returns to the speed
set by Smart Cruise Control after
passing the curved section.
• The speed information on the clus- ter and navigation may differ
• The time gap could occur between the navigation's guidance and
when Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control operation starts
and ends.
• Even if you are driving at a speed lower than Smart Cruise Control
set speed, acceleration may be lim-
ited by the speeding cameras and
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 cer-
tain period of time. (Continued)(Continued)
• Deceleration by Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control may not be
sufficient due to road conditions
such as uneven road surfaces, nar-
row lanes, etc.
