Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC) (if equipped)

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control will help automatically adjust vehicle speed when driving on highways (or motorways) with speed limits by using road information from the navigation system while Smart Cruise Control is operating.

NOTICE

• Navigation-based Smart Cruise  Control is available only on the controlled access roads of certain highways.

Controlled access road indicates roads with limited entrances and exits that allow uninterrupted high-speed traffic flow. Only passenger cars and motorcycles are allowed on controlled access roads.

• Additional highways may be expanded by future navigation updates.

NOTICE
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control operates on main roads of highways (or motorways), and does not operate on interchanges or junctions.

Highway Curve Zone Auto Slow-down
If the vehicle speed is high, the Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will temporarily decelerate your vehicle to help you drive safely on a curve, based on the curve information from the navigation.

Set Speed Auto Change
Set Speed Auto Change function changes Smart Cruise Control set speed based on the speed limit information from the navigation.

WARNING
‘Drive carefully’ warning message will appear in the following circumstances:

•  Navigation-based Smart Cruise  Control is not able to slow down your vehicle to a safe speed.

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

Highway Curve Zone Auto Slow down

• 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, the faster the vehicle will decelerate.

Set Speed Auto Change

• Set Speed Auto Change function will operate when Smart Cruise Control set speed and the high-way (or motorway) speed limit is matched.
• While 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 Smart Cruise Control set speed is adjusted differently from the speed limit, Set Speed Auto Change function will be in the standby state.
• If Set Speed Auto Change function has changed to the standby state by driving on a road other than the highway (or motorway) main road, the Set Speed Auto Change function will operate again when you drive on the main road again. At this time, the set speed does not need to be adjusted.
• If Set Speed Auto Change function has changed to the standby state by depressing the brake pedal, press the ( ) switch to restart the Highway Set Speed Auto Change function.
• Set Speed Auto Change function does not operate on highway interchanges or junctions.

NOTICE

•  Set Speed Auto Change function only operates based on the speed limits of the highway (or motorway), but it does not work with the speed cameras.
• the function is operating, the vehicle automatically accelerates or decelerates when the highway (or motorway) speed limit changes.
•  If the speed limit is higher than the speed limit of the speed camera while Set Speed Auto Change function is operating, an audible warning may sound.
•  The maximum set speed for Set Speed Auto Change function to operate is 90 mph (140 km/h).
•  If the speed limit of a new road is not reflected in the navigation, 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 state, Set Speed Auto Change function may not operate properly.

Limitations of the function
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate normally under the following circumstances:   The navigation is not working

properly.

• The navigation is not updated to include the latest information about road curvature and changes.
• 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
•  GPS signals are blocked in areas such as tunnel
•  A road that divides into two or more roads and joins again
• The driver goes off course the route set in the navigation
•  The route to the destination is changed or cancelled by resetting the navigation (including TPEG change)
• The navigation cannot detect the current vehicle position (ex: elevated roads including overpasses adjacent to general roads or nearby roads exist in a parallel way)
• The vehicle enters a service station or rest area
•  The speed limit of some sections changes depending on the road situations
•  Android Auto or Car Play is operating
• The navigation is being updated while driving
• The navigation is being restarted while driving

[1]: Driving route, [2]: Set route, [3]: Main road, [4]: Branch line

• When there is a difference between the navigation set route (branch line) and the driving route (main road), the Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function may not operate until the driving route is recognized as the main road.
• When the vehicle’s driving route isX recognized as the main road by maintaining the main road instead of the navigation set route, the High-way Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will operate. Depending on the distance to the curve and the current vehicle speed, vehicle deceleration may not be sufficient or may decelerate rapidly.

[1]: Driving route, [2]: Main road, [3]: Set route, [4]: Branch line

• When there is a difference between the navigation route (main road) and the driving route (branch line), the Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function may temporarily operate due to the navigation information of the highway curve section.

WARNING

•  Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function. Always have your eyes on the road, and it is the responsibility of the driver to avoid violating traffic laws.
•  The navigation’s speed limit information may differ from the actual speed limit information on the road. It is the driver’s responsibility to check the speed limit on the actual driving road or lane.
• The Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown and Set Speed Auto Change function will automatically cancel when you leave the main road of the highway. Always pay attention to road and driving conditions while driving.
• Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate due to the existence of leading vehicles and the driving conditions of the vehicle. Always pay attention to road and driving conditions while driving.
• When you are towing a trailer or another vehicle, we recommend that Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is turned off due to safety reasons.
•  After you pass through a tollgate on a highway, Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control operates based on the first lane. If you enter one of the other lanes, the function might not properly decelerate.
• The vehicle will accelerate if the driver depresses the accelerate pedal while the Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating, and the function will not decelerate the vehicle. However, if the accelerator pedal is insufficiently depressed, the vehicle may slow down.
•  If the driver accelerates and releases the accelerator pedal while Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating, the vehicle may not decelerate sufficiently or may rapidly decelerate to a safe speed.
• If the curve is too large or too small, Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not operate.

NOTICE

• When the function is activated,  the vehicle decelerates automatically before reaching the curved road according to its curvature, and the driving speed returns to the speed set by Smart Cruise Control after passing the curved section.
•  The speed information on the cluster and navigation may differ.
• A time gap could occur between the navigation’s guidance and when the Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control operation starts and ends.
• Even if you are driving at a speed lower than Smart Cruise Control’s set speed, acceleration may be limited by the speeding cameras and curve sections ahead.
•  If Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating while leaving the main road to enter an inter-change, junction, rest area, etc., the function may operate for a certain period of time.
• Deceleration by Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may not be sufficient due to road conditions such as uneven road surfaces, narrow lanes, etc.
