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 system 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, the system 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.

  • 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 the system's reaction or may cause the system 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.
