Radar to detect distance to the
vehicle ahead
The sensor detects the distance to the
vehicle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to ve‐
hicle distance control may not operate
correctly.
Always keep the area in front of the
sensor clean.
Radar check message
If the radar or cover is dirty or ob‐
scured with foreign matter such as
snow, this message will appear and it
will disappear after for a while. In this
case, the system may not function
temporarily, but it does not indicate a
malfunction of the Smart Cruise Control
System. Clean the radar or cover by us‐
ing a soft cloth and it will operate man‐
ually.
SCC (Smart Cruise Control)

hicle to vehicle distance control system
