Kia Forte: Limitations of the system / Vehicle recognition
Some of the following vehicles ahead
in your lane may not be recognized
by the sensor:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles
or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or suddenly
decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profiles
such as trailers with no loads
A vehicle ahead may not be recognized
correctly by the sensor when
any of the following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing
upwards due to overloading in the
trunk(tailgate)
- While making turns
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on
curves
Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal according
to the road and driving conditions
ahead.
• When vehicles are at a standstill
and the vehicle in front of you
changes to the next lane, be careful
when your vehicle starts to
move because it may not immediately
recognize the stopped vehicle
in front of you.
In this situation you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
• Always look out for pedestrians
when your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead.
• Always be cautious when
approaching vehicles that are taller
with higher clearance, or vehicles
carrying loads that stick out of the
back of the vehicle.
WARNING - Inclines and
towing
Do not use the smart cruise
control system on steep
inclines or when towing another
vehicle or trailer since such
extreme loading can interfere
with your vehicle's ability to
maintain the selected speed.
WARNING
When using the Smart Cruise
Control, take the following precautions:
- If an emergency stop is necessary,
you must apply the
brakes. The smart cruise control
system may not be able to
completely stop the vehicle or
avoid a collision in every situation.
- Keep a safe distance according
to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close
during high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
- Always maintain sufficient
braking distance and decelerate
your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
- The Smart Cruise Control system
may not recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle. Always look ahead cautiously
in order to react to unexpected
and sudden situations.
- Vehicles moving in front of
you making frequent lane
changes may cause a delay in
the system's reaction or may
cause the system to react to a
vehicle actually in an adjacent
lane.
Always drive cautiously in
order to react to unexpected
and sudden situations.
- Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle to vehicle
distance. The driver
should not solely rely on the
system but always pay attention
to driving conditions and
control vehicle speed.
- The Smart Cruise Control system
may not recognize complex
driving situations, so
always pay attention to driving
conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
- For safe operation, carefully
read and follow the instructions
in this manual before
use.
CAUTION
The smart cruise control system
may not operate temporarily
due to electrical interference.
✽ NOTICE
The Smart Cruise Control System
may not operate properly due to:
- Electrical interference.
- Modifying the suspension.
- Differences of tire abrasion or tire
pressure.
- Installing different type of tires.
