Forward Collision Warning

If there is a high risk of a collision whilst Smart Cruise Control is operating, an audible warning and steering wheel vibration will alert to driver. Check the road conditions and driving conditions immediately. Press the brake pedal to adjust the speed if necessary.

For detailed information, warnings, cautions and notice, refer to Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) (Sensor Fusion).

WARNING

  • 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 recognise 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 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 headway distance.

  • Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle speed. If the headway 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, Smart Cruise Control 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.

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

  • When towing a trailer or something similar, the vehicle may experience high RPM whilst driving, 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 by strong electromagnetic waves.

  • 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 frequent lane changes may cause a delay in Smart Cruise Control reaction or may cause Smart Cruise Control 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 function's warning message is displayed or the alarm is generated, Smart Cruise Control warning message may not be displayed and warning sound may not be generated.

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

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

  • Always set the vehicle speed under the speed limit in your country.

  • If the driver's driving style changes, distance, acceleration and the reaction speed may change.

CAUTION

  • The vehicle must be driven sufficiently to reflect the actual driving style of the driver, such as vehicle distance, acceleration and reaction speed.

  • Based on Driving Style may not reflect the driver's driving style (sudden acceleration etc.) or driving conditions that affect driving safety.

  • If you are driving in special conditions, such as snow, rain, fog or steep sloped roads, the vehicle may not be driven according to the driver's 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 the driver's driving style that is not safe such as rapid acceleration.

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