Collision Warning
OMQ4053078L1

A: Collision Warning

While Smart Cruise Control is operating, when a collision risk with a vehicle ahead is high, a warning message will appear on the cluster, an audible warning will sound and the steering wheel will vibrate to warn the driver.

Always have your eyes on the road and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your speed in order to maintain a safe distance.

WARNING

In the following situations, Smart Cruise Control may not warn the driver of a collision.

Always pay attention to road conditions.

  • The distance from a vehicle ahead is near or the speed of the vehicle in front is faster or similar to yours

  • The speed of a vehicle in front is very slow or is at a standstill

  • The accelerator pedal is depressed right after Smart Cruise Control is turned on

WARNING

  • Smart Cruise Control does not substitute for proper and safe driving. It is your responsibility to always check the speed and distance to a vehicle ahead.

  • Smart Cruise Control may not recognize unexpected, sudden or complex situations, so always pay attention to driving conditions and control your vehicle speed.

  • Keep Smart Cruise Control off when the function 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 distance ahead.

  • Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle speed. If the distance is too close when driving at high speed, a serious collision may result.

  • When maintaining distance with a vehicle ahead, if that vehicle disappears from view, Smart Cruise Control may suddenly accelerate to the set speed. Always be aware of unexpected and sudden situations.

  • Vehicle speed may decrease on an upward slope and increase on a downward slope.

  • Always be aware of emergent situations such as when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.

  • When towing a trailer or something similar, your vehicle may experience frequent shifting and high RPM and the performance of Smart Cruise Control may be compromised. Always drive with caution.

  • Turn off Smart Cruise Control when your vehicle is being towed.

  • Smart Cruise Control may not operate properly if interfered with by strong electromagnetic waves.

  • Smart Cruise Control may not detect an obstacle in front and lead to a collision. Always look ahead to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring.

  • Vehicles moving in front of you with frequent lane changes may cause a delay in Smart Cruise Control reaction or may cause Smart Cruise Control to react to a vehicle that is 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 function'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 heard.

  • You may not hear the warning sound of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist if the surrounding is noisy.

  • The vehicle manufacturer is not responsible for any traffic violation or accident caused by the driver.

  • Always set the vehicle speed under the posted speed limit.

  • If your driving style changes, distance, acceleration and reaction speed may change.

CAUTION

  • Your vehicle must be driven sufficiently to analyze your actual driving style, such as vehicle distance, acceleration and reaction speed.

  • Based on Driving Style may not reflect the driver's driving style or driving conditions which could affect driving safety.

  • If you are driving in special conditions, such as snow, rain, fog or steep hills, your vehicle may not be driven according to your driving style.

NOTE

  • Smart Cruise Control may not operate for a few seconds after the vehicle is restarted or the front-view camera or front radar is initialized.

  • You may hear a sound when the brake is controlled by Smart Cruise Control.

  • Based on Driving Style may not reflect your driving style if it’s is not safe such as rapid acceleration.

  • Based on Driving Style does not reflect any driving style other than vehicle distance, acceleration and reaction speed.
