Collision Warning
OIK070007L
While Smart Cruise Control is operating,
when the collision risk with the vehicle
ahead is high, the "Collision Warning"
warning message will appear on the
instrument cluster, an audible warning
will sound and the steering wheel will
vibrate to warn the driver. Always have
your eyes on the road while driving, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
In the following situations, Smart Cruise
Control may not warn the driver of a
collision.
• The distance from the front vehicle is
near, or the vehicle speed of the front
vehicle is faster or similar with your
vehicle
• The speed of the front vehicle is very
slow or is at a standstill
• The accelerator pedal is depressed
right after Smart Cruise Control is
turned on
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
recognize 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 you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, turn off Smart Cruise
Control for safety reasons.
• Turn off Smart Cruise Control when
your vehicle is being towed.
