You can see the status of Smart Cruise Control operation in the Driving Assist mode on the cluster. Refer to More Details.

Smart Cruise Control will be displayed as below depending on the status of the function.

  • When operating

    1. Whether there is a vehicle ahead and the selected distance level are displayed.

    2. Set speed is displayed.

    3. Whether there is a vehicle ahead and the selected target distance are displayed.

  • When temporarily cancelled

    1. () indicator is displayed.

    2. The previous set speed is shaded.

    3. Vehicle ahead and distance level are not displayed.

NOTICE
  • The distance of the front vehicle on the cluster is displayed according to the actual distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

  • The target distance may vary according to the set speed and the set distance level. If set speed is low, even though the vehicle distance have changed, the change of the target vehicle distance may be small.

To temporarily accelerate

If you want to speed up temporarily without altering the set speed whilst Smart Cruise Control is operating, depress the accelerator pedal. Whilst the accelerator pedal is depressed, the set speed, distance level and target distance will blink on the cluster.

However, if the accelerator pedal is depressed insufficiently, the vehicle may decelerate.

WARNING

Be careful when accelerating temporarily, because the speed and distance is not controlled automatically even if there is a vehicle in front of you.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when using Smart Cruise Control:

  • 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 detect 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 when Smart Cruise Control is operating, even if the vehicle is stopped.

  • Always be aware of the selected speed and vehicle distance.

  • Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle speed. If the vehicle distance is too close during high-speed driving, a serious collision may result. Always pay attention to the road condition ahead.

  • When maintaining distance with the vehicle ahead, if the front vehicle disappears, the function may suddenly accelerate to the set speed. Always be aware of unexpected and sudden situations from occurring.

  • Set speed may decrease on an upward sloped road and increase on a downward sloped road.

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

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

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

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

  • You may not hear the warning sound of Smart Cruise Control if the surrounding is noisy. Always pay attention to the road condition ahead.

  • The vehicle manufacturer is not responsible for any traffic violation or accidents caused by the driver whilst Smart Cruise Control is operating.

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

NOTICE
