The smart cruise control system may have limits to detect distance
to the vehicle ahead due to road and traffic conditions.

On curves or inclines/declines
|
| – |
On curves or inclines/declines, the smart cruise control system
may not detect a moving vehicle in your lane, and then your vehicle
may accelerate to the set speed directly. Also, the vehicle speed
may slow down abruptly when the vehicle ahead is recognized. Select
the appropriate set speed on curves or inclines/declines and control
the vehicle speed by applying the brake pedal if necessary.
|
| – |
Your vehicle speed can be reduced due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Apply the accelerator pedal and select the appropriate set
speed. Check to be sure that the road conditions permit.
|
| – |
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.
|
| – |
Be always cautious because a vehicle which suddenly moves into
your lane can be recognized late by the sensor.
|
| – |
If the vehicle which moves into your lane is slower than your
vehicle, the speed may decrease to maintain the distance to the
vehicle ahead.
|
| – |
If the vehicle which moves into your lane is faster than your
vehicle, your vehicle will maintain the selected speed even the
vehicle is in the sensor's detection range.
|
| – |
Even though a vehicle is in the same lane, a vehicle which is
out of the sensor’s detection range cannot be recognized by the
sensor.
1) Small vehicle such as motorcycle, bicycle and cultivator
2) A vehicle offset to one side
3) A slow-moving vehicle or sudden-decelerating vehicle
4) A stopped vehicle
5) A vehicle with small rear profile such as trailer with no
loads
|
| – |
In this following situation, the front vehicle can’t be recognized
correctly so control the vehicle speed by applying the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal if necessary.
1) When the vehicle is pointing upwards due to overloading in
the trunk
2) While making turns by steering
3) When driving to one side of the lane
4) When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
|
| • |
If the smart cruise control is left on (CRUISE indicator light
ON), the smart cruise control can be switched on accidentally. Keep
the smart cruise control system off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the smart cruise control is not in use, to avoid inadvertently
setting a speed.
|
| • |
Observe a regulation speed on road when setting the cruise speed.
|
| • |
Use the smart cruise control system only when traveling on open
highways in good weather. Do not use the smart cruise control when
it may not be safe to keep the car at a constant speed, for instance,
driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy
or snow-covered) or winding roads or steep up-hill or down-hill
roads.
|
| • |
Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever using
the smart cruise control system.
|
| • |
The vehicle cannot be stopped by using the smart cruise control
system. If emergency stop is necessary, you should apply the brakes.
|
| • |
Keep the safety distance according to road conditions and vehicle
speed. If the following distance is too close at a high speed driving,
it is dangerous.
|
| • |
The smart cruise control system can not recognize a stopped vehicle,
pedestrians or an oncoming vehicle. Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring.
|
| • |
The smart cruise control system is not a substitute for safe
driving practices but a supplementary function only. It is the responsibility
of the driver to always check the speed and the distance to the
vehicle ahead.
|
| • |
In front of you, vehicles moving 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 adjacent lane. Always look ahead
cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring.
|
| • |
Your vehicle may accelerate when a vehicle ahead of you disappears.
When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detected,
drive with caution.
|
| • |
When vehicles are at a standstill and the vehicle in front of
you changes to the next lane, be careful when your vehicle starts
to move because it may not recognize the stopped vehicle in front
of you.
|
| • |
Always look out for pedestrians when your vehicle is maintaining
a distance with the vehicle ahead.
|
| • |
Always be cautious for vehicles with higher height or vehicles
carrying loads that sticks out to the back of the vehicle.
