Hyundai Kona-EV 2023 Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC) 

In the 2023 Hyundai Kona-EV, a new Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control system is added. This system uses cutting-edge GPS and map data technology to completely change the way you drive. This more advanced driver assistance feature goes beyond basic adaptive cruise control by using real-time road and traffic data to intelligently change the vehicle’s speed as it approaches curves, intersections, changes in speed limits, and changing traffic conditions. By adjusting the speed of the car to match the speed of the road ahead, it improves safety, comfort, and gas mileage while reducing the need for constant manual intervention. In addition, the 2023 Kona-EV has a Lane Following System with camera and sensor technology to help keep the car exactly in its lane by giving the driver subtle steering assistance when the car accidentally leaves its lane. This system works with Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control to provide a complete and reassuring driving experience while stressing that the driver’s active participation is still an important part of safe operation.

Information
The Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown and Highway Set Speed Auto Change function uses the same symbol.

Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown

•  Depending on the curve ahead on the highway (or motorway), the vehicle will decelerate, and after passing the curve, the vehicle will accelerate to Smart Cruise Control set speed.
•  Vehicle deceleration time may differ depending on the vehicle speed and the degree of the curve on the road. The higher the driving speed, deceleration will start faster.

Highway Set Speed Auto Change

• The Highway Set Speed Auto Change function will operate when Smart Cruise Control set speed and the highway (or motorway) speed limit is matched.
• While Highway Set Speed Auto Change function is operating, when the highway (or motorway), speed limit changes, Smart Cruise Control set speed automatically changes to the changed speed limit.
• If the Smart Cruise Control set speed is adjusted differently from the speed limit, the Highway Set Speed Auto Change function will be in the standby state.
• If the Highway Set Speed Auto Change function has changed to the standby state by driving on a road other than the highway (or motorway) main road, Highway Set Speed Auto Change function will operate again when you drive on the main road again without setting the set speed.
• If the Highway Set Speed Auto Change function has changed to the standby state by depressing the brake pedal or pressing the switch on the steering wheel, press the switch to restart the function.
• The Highway Set Speed Auto Change function does not operate on highway interchanges or junctions.

Information

• The Highway Set Speed Auto Change function only operates based on the speed limits of the highway (or motorway), it does not work with the speed cameras.
• When the Highway Set Speed Auto Change function is operating, the vehicle automatically accelerates or decelerates when the highway (or motorway) speed limit changes.
• The maximum set speed for the Highway  Set Speed Auto Change function is 81 mph (130 km/h).
• If the speed limit of a new road is not updated in the navigation, the Highway Set Speed Auto Change function may not operate properly.
• If the speed unit is set to a unit other than the speed unit used in your country, the Highway Set Speed Auto Change function may not operate properly.

Limitations of Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate normally under the following circumstances:

• The navigation is not working properly
• Map information is not transmitted due to the infotainment system’s abnormal operation
• Speed limit and road information in the navigation is not updated
• The map information and the actual road is different because of real-time GPS data or map information error
• The navigation searches for a route while driving
