WARNING
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is not able to slow down your vehicle to a safe speed.
NOTICE
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 highway (or motor-way) 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 different 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 high-way (or motorway) main road, 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

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), High-way Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function may temporarily operate due to the navigation information of the highway curve section.
- When it is judged that you are driving out of the route by entering the high-way interchange and junction, High-way Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will not operate.
[1]: Driving route, [2]: Main road, [3]: Branch line
- If there is no destination set on the navigation, the Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown function will operate based on the curve information on the main road.

- 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 accelerator pedal while 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.
- The 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 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 interchange, 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.
