[Changing lanes
OADAS030 [A] : Your vehicle, [B] : Lane changing vehicle
When a vehicle moves into your lane
from an adjacent lane, it cannot be
detected by the sensor until it is in the
sensor's detection range. Smart Cruise
Control may not immediately detect
the vehicle when the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you must
maintain a safe braking distance, and
if necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
[
Detecting vehicle
OJX1079181
In the following cases, some vehicles
in your lane cannot be detected by the
sensor:
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden- decelerating vehicles

- Stopped vehicles

- Vehicles with small rear profile, such
as trailers
- Narrow vehicles, such as motorcycles or bicycles
- Special vehicles
