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)

The navigation cannot detect thecurrent vehicle position (ex: elevat-
ed roads including overpass adja-
cent to general roads or nearby
roads exist in a parallel way)
The vehicle enters a service sta- tion or rest area
The speed limit of some sections changes depending on the road
situations
Android Auto or Car Play is operat- ing
The navigation is being updated while driving
The navigation is being restarted while driving

When there is a differencebetween the navigation set route
(branch line) and the driving route
(main road), Highway Auto Curve
Slowdown function may not oper-
ate until the driving route is recog-
nized as the main road. When the vehicle's driving route is
recognized as the main road by
maintaining the main road instead
of the navigation set route,
Highway Auto Curve Slowdown
function will operate. Depending on
the distance to the curve and the
current vehicle speed, vehicle
deceleration may not be sufficient
or may decelerate rapidly.

The navigation's speed limit
information may differ from
the actual speed limit informa-
tion on the road. It is the dri-
ver's responsibility to check
the speed limit on the actual
driving road or lane.
Highway Auto Curve Slowdown will automatically
cancel when you leave the
main road of the highway.
Always pay attention to road
and driving conditions while
driving.
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate due to
the existence of leading vehi-
cles and the driving 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 reasons.

When there is a differencebetween the navigation route
(main road) and the driving route
(branch line), Highway Auto Curve
Slowdown function may temporari-
ly operate due to the navigation
information of the highway curve
section.
When it is judged that you are driv- ing out of the route by entering the
highway interchange and junction,
Highway Auto Curve Slowdown
function will not operate.

If there is no destination set on thenavigation, Highway Auto Curve
Slowdown function will operate
based on the curve information on
the main road.
Even if you depart from the main road, Highway Auto Curve
Slowdown function may temporari-
ly operate due to navigation infor-
mation of the highway curve sec-
tion

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.
• Deceleration by Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not be
sufficient due to road conditions
such as uneven road surfaces, nar-
row lanes, etc.
