Warning road conditions ahead
OKA4054025N

A: Watch for surrounding vehicles

In the following situation, a warning message will appear on the instrument cluster, and an audible warning will sound to warn the driver of road conditions ahead.

WARNING

  • Always pay attention to vehicles or objects that may suddenly appear in front of you, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your speed to maintain a safe distance.

  • Smart Cruise Control is a convenience feature and does not substitute for proper and safe driving. It is your responsibility to always remain alert and 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 environment 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 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.
