sudden situations or complex driving
situations.

vehicle when Smart Cruise Control
is operating, even if your vehicle is
stopped.

the road condition and vehicle speed.
If the distance to the front vehicle is
too close while driving at high speeds,
it may cause a serious collision.

vehicle ahead, if the front vehicle is no

may suddenly accelerate to the set
speed.

or speed up while driving uphill or

normally if there is interference from

detect obstacles in front and cause a
collision.

may cause a delay or may cause
Smart Cruise Control to react to a
vehicle in an adjacent lane.

message appears or audible warning
is heard, Smart Cruise Control may
not warn you.

warning of Smart Cruise Control if the
surrounding environment is too noisy.
