Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control display and control

When Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control operates, it will be displayed on the cluster as follows:

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control standby

If the operating conditions are satisfied, the white 「」 symbol will illuminate.

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control operating

If temporary deceleration is required in the standby state and Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating, the green「」 symbol will illuminate on the cluster.

If the Highway Set Speed Auto Change function operates, the green 「」 symbol and set speed will illuminate on the cluster, and an audible warning will sound.

WARNING

'Drive carefully' warning message will appear in the following circumstances:

  • Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is not able to slow down your vehicle to a safe speed

NOTICE

Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown and Set Speed Auto Change function uses the same「」 symbol.

Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown

  • Depending on the curve ahead on the highway (or motorway), the vehicle will decelerate, and after passing the curve, the vehicle will accelerate to Smart Cruise Control set speed.

  • Vehicle deceleration time may differ depending on the vehicle speed and the degree of the curve on the road. The higher the driving speed, deceleration will start faster.

Highway Set Speed Auto Change

  • Highway Set Speed Auto Change function will operate when Smart Cruise Control set speed and the highway (or motorway) speed limit is matched.

  • While Highway Set Speed Auto Change function is operating, when the highway (or motorway), speed limit changes, Smart Cruise Control set speed automatically changes to the changed speed limit.

  • If Smart Cruise Control set speed is adjusted different from the speed limit, Set Speed Auto Change function will be in the standby state.

  • If Highway Set Speed Auto Change function has changed to the standby state by driving on a road other than the highway (or motorway) main road, Highway Set Speed Auto Change function will operate again when you drive on the main road again without setting the set speed.

  • If Highway Set Speed Auto Change function has changed to the standby state by depressing the brake pedal or pressing the CANCEL button on the steering wheel, press the 「 」 switch to restart the function.

  • Highway Set Speed Auto Change function does not operate on highway interchanges or junctions.

NOTICE

  • Highway Set Speed Auto Change function only operates based on the speed limits of the highway (or motorway), it does not work with the speed cameras.

  • When Highway Set Speed Auto Change function is operating, the vehicle automatically accelerates or decelerates when the highway (or motorway) speed limit changes.

  • If the speed limit is higher than the speed limit of the speed camera while Highway Set Speed Auto Change function is operating, an audible warning may sound.

  • The maximum set speed for Highway Set Speed Auto Change function is 90 mph (140 km/h).

  • If the speed limit of a new road is not updated in the navigation, Highway Set Speed Auto Change function may not operate properly.

  • If the speed unit is set to a unit other than the speed unit used in your country, Highway Set Speed Auto Change function may not operate properly.

Limitations of Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate normally under the following circumstances:

  • The navigation is not working properly

  • Speed limit and road information in the navigation is not updated

  • The map information and the actual road is different because of real-time GPS data or map information error

  • The infotainment system is overloaded by simultaneously performing functions such as route search, video playback, voice recognition, etc.

  • The navigation searches for a route while driving

  • GPS signals are blocked in areas such as a tunnel

  • Map information is not transmitted due to infotainment system's abnormal operation

  • A road that divides into two or more roads and joins again

  • The navigation cannot detect the current vehicle position (ex: elevated roads including overpass adjacent to general roads or nearby roads exist in a parallel way)

  • The driver goes off course the route set in the navigation

  • The route to the destination is changed or canceled by resetting the navigation

  • The vehicle enters a service station or rest area

  • The speed limit of some sections changes according to the road situations

  • Android Auto or Car Play is operating

  • The navigation is being updated while driving

  • The navigation is being restarted while driving

  • There is bad weather, such as heavy rain, heavy snow, etc.

  • Driving on a road under construction

  • Driving on a road that is controlled

  • Driving on a road that is sharply curved

  • Driving on roads with intersections, roundabouts, straight entrances and exits, etc.

[1]: Set route, [2]: Branch line, [3]: Driving route, [4]: Main road, [5]: Curved road section

  • When there is a difference between the navigation set route (branch line) and the driving route (main road), Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function may not operate until the driving route is recognized as the main road.

  • When the vehicle's driving route is recognized as the main road by maintaining the main road instead of the navigation set route, Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will operate. Depending on the distance to the curve and the current vehicle speed, vehicle deceleration may not be sufficient or may decelerate rapidly.

[1]: Main road, [2]: Branch line, [3]: Driving route, [4]: Set route, [5]: Curved road section

  • When there is a difference between the navigation route (main road) and the driving route (branch line), Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will operate based on the curve information on the main road.

  • When it is judged that you are driving out of the route by entering the highway interchange or junction, Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will not operate.

[1]: Driving route, [2]: Branch line, [3]: Curved road section, [4]: Main road

  • If there is no destination set on the navigation, Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will operate based on the curve information on the main road.

  • Even if you depart from the main road, Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function may temporarily operate due to navigation information of the highway curve section.

WARNING

  • Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function. Always have your eyes on the road, and it is the responsibility of the driver to avoid violating traffic laws.

  • The navigation's speed limit information may differ from the actual speed limit information on the road. It is the driver's responsibility to check the speed limit on the actual driving road or lane.

  • Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate due to the existence of leading vehicles and the driving conditions of the vehicle. Always pay attention to road and driving conditions while driving.

  • When you are towing a trailer or another vehicle, we recommend that Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is turned off due to safety reasons.

  • After you pass through a tollgate on a highway (or motorway), Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control will operate based on the first lane. If you enter one of the other lanes, the function might not operate properly.

  • The vehicle will accelerate if the driver depresses the accelerator pedal while Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating, and the function will not decelerate the vehicle.

  • If the driver accelerates and releases the accelerator pedal while Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating, the vehicle may not decelerate sufficiently or may rapidly decelerate to a safe speed.

  • If the curve is too large or too small, Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate.

  • Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control will automatically be canceled when you leave the highway (or motorway) main road. Always pay attention to road and driving conditions while driving.

NOTICE

  • When the function is activated, the vehicle decelerates automatically before reaching the curved road according to its curvature, and the driving speed returns to the speed set by Smart Cruise Control after passing the curved section.

  • The speed information on the cluster and navigation may differ.

  • The time gap could occur between the navigation's guidance and when Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control operation starts and ends.

  • Even if you are driving at a speed lower than Smart Cruise Control set speed, acceleration may be limited by the curve sections ahead.

  • If Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating while leaving the main road to enter an interchange, junction, rest area, etc., the function may operate for a certain period of time.

  • Deceleration by Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may feel it is not sufficient due to road conditions such as uneven road surfaces, narrow lanes, etc.
