Description And Operation: Description: Notes
The smart cruise control system allows a driver to program the vehicle to control the speed and following distance by detecting the vehicle ahead without depressing the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal.
- Cruise speed control: The vehicle maintains the selected speed if there are not vehicles ahead.
- Retardation control: The vehicle decelerates if a vehicle ahead is detected.
- Following distance control: The vehicle maintains the selected following distance.
- Acceleration control: The vehicle accelerates to the selected speed if a vehicle ahead is not detected.
- Congested area control: In traffic, your vehicle will stop if the vehicle ahead of you stops. Also, if the vehicle ahead of you starts moving, your vehicle will start as well. However, if the vehicle stops for more than 3 seconds, you must depress the accelerator pedal or push the RES+ switch to start driving.
- Control and function on curves
- The sensor may not detect a vehicle ahead or may detect a vehicle on other lanes because the detection range of the sensor is limited.
- On curves, if the vehicle equipped with the SCC is set to drive at high speed, it can skid sideways. This means that the speed may be reduced even with no vehicle ahead (No brake control by the SCC).
- While the vehicle follows a vehicle ahead on straight road, if a vehicle ahead enters curves, the vehicle equipped with the SCC may accelerate to follow the target speed.
- On curves, if a vehicle ahead followed is out of the detection range, the vehicle does not accelerate to the set speed and maintain the following speed to prevent accelerating and decelerating repeatedly. (If the vehicle equipped the SCC changes the lane or apply the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will accelerate.)
- Warning alarm
If the vehicle equipped the SCC decelerates because a vehicle ahead decelerates or moves into your lane, the warning will be issued.
- In case that the vehicle equipped with SCC is able to decelerate properly by the system - No warning
- In case that the vehicle equipped with SCC is not able to decelerate properly by the system
- Indicator in the cluster will blink and the warning buzzer will go off. (The warning and deceleration by the system will go on until the brake pedal is applied.)
- If the vehicle ahead (vehicle speed: less than 30km/h) disappears to the next lane during following distance control, the warning chime will go off and a message will appear. Adjust the vehicle speed to avoid crashes into other vehicles or objects which may suddenly appear in front of you.
- Accelerating by driver
Even though the vehicle is being decelerated by the SCC system, the vehicle can be accelerated by applying the accelerator pedal. If the vehicle accelerates over the set speed, the indicator in the cluster will blink.
NOTE:- Smart cruise control operating conditions
- Vehicle speed at approximately 0-180km/h (0-111.8mph)
- Transmission in D or Sports mode
- "ESP OFF" switch OFF
- "ESP OFF" switch OFF
- "CRUISE" switch ON (CRUISE indicator ON)
Under the above conditions, activate the cruise system using the "SET/-" or "RES/+" switch.
- Smart cruise control disabling conditions
- "CRUISE" switch OFF
- "CANCEL" switch ON
- Brake pedal applied
- Driver's door open
- Vehicle speed at more than approximately 180km/h (111.8mph)
- Stopped at steep slope
- Continued SCC stop for more than 5 min
- Repetitive SCC stop & go for long time
- When you try to start the vehicle after a vehicle ahead stops far away from your vehicle during SCC auto stop
- Transmission in N or P or R
- ESP/TCS/ABS operating
- An accelerator pedal applied for more than 60 sec
- ESP OFF" switch ON (ESP OFF indicator ON)
- Parking brake applied
- System failure (The warning indicator ON)
- Crack, damage or wrong installation of smart cruise control unit cover (The warning indicator ON)
- Smart cruise control operating conditions
- Function of cruise control
The driver may choose to only use the cruise control mode (speed control function) by doing as follows:
With the smart cruise control system ON (the cruise indicator light will be on but the system will not be activated), push the distance to distance switch for more than 2 seconds. "Smart cruise control (SCC) mode" and "Cruise control (CC) mode" can be selected. The speed control of the cruise control mode is the same as that of the smart cruise control mode.
When using the cruise control mode, the driver must manually adjust the distance to other vehicles as the system will not automatically brake to slow down for other vehicles.
