Limitations of the system

The Smart Regeneration System may not operate properly in certain situations when road conditions are beyond the performance of the front radar sensor.

Driver attention is required when the system does not react properly or operates unintentionally.

Driving on a curved road

When driving on the curve, the system may not detect a vehicle ahead and the regenerative braking level will reduce automatically, making you feel like the vehicle is accelerating.

If the system suddenly recognizes a vehicle ahead, the regenerative braking level will increase automatically and slow the vehicle.

The driver must maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your driving speed.

The smart regeneration system may recognize a vehicle in an adjacent lane when driving on a curved road. The system increases the braking level and slows the vehicle.

Always pay attention to road conditions while driving. If necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your speed in order to maintain a safe distance. You may depress the accelerator pedal to prevent the system from unnecessarily decelerating your vehicle.

Always check the traffic conditions around the vehicle.

Driving on a sloped road

When driving uphill or downhill, the system may not detect a the vehicle ahead and the regenerative braking level will reduce automatically, making you feel like the vehicle is accelerating.

If the system suddenly recognizes a vehicle ahead, the regenerative braking level will increase automatically, and slow the vehicle.

If necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your driving speed in order to maintain a safe distance.

Changing lanes

When a vehicle changes lanes ahead of you, the smart regeneration system may not immediately detect the vehicle, especially if the vehicle changes lanes abruptly. If necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your driving speed in order to maintain a safe distance.

Recognizing the vehicle

Some vehicles in your lane may not be recognized by the sensor:

Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles
Vehicles offset to one side.
Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-decelerating vehicles
Stopped vehicles
Vehicles with small rear profiles-such as trailers with no loads

A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized correctly by the sensor if any of following occurs:

When your vehicle is tilted upwards due to an overloaded luggage compartment
While the steering wheel is operating
When driving to one side of the lane
When driving on narrow lanes or on curves

Apply the brake or accelerator pedal if necessary.

WARNING

When using the Smart Regeneration System take the following precautions:

If an emergency stop is necessary, you must apply the brakes.
Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle speed. If vehicle distance is too close during high-speed driving, a serious collision may result.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and decelerate your vehicle by applying the brakes if necessary.
The Smart Regeneration System is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead through radar signals. It is not designed to detect oncoming vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, or smaller wheeled objects such as luggage bags, shopping carts, or strollers.
Vehicles moving ahead with frequent lane changes may cause a delay in the system's reaction time or may cause the system to react to a vehicle in an adjacent lane. Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring.
The Smart Regeneration System may not recognize complex driving situations so always pay attention to driving conditions and control your vehicle speed.

NOTICE

The Smart Regeneration System may not operate temporarily due to:

Electrical interference
Modification of the suspension
Differences in tire wear or pressure
Installation of different type of tires
