WARNING

Do not rely completely on the MRCC

with Stop & Go function:

The MRCC with Stop & Go function

system has detection limitations

depending on the type of vehicle

ahead and its conditions, the weather

conditions, and the road conditions.

Additionally, the system may be unable

to decelerate su

ciently to avoid

hitting the vehicle ahead if the vehicle

ahead applies the brakes suddenly or

another vehicle cuts into the driving

lane in front of you, which could result

in an accident.

Always drive carefully and verify the

surrounding conditions and depress

the brake pedal or accelerator pedal

while keeping a safe distance from

vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.

Do not use the MRCC with Stop & Go

function system in the following

locations. Using the MRCC with Stop

& Go function system at the following

locations may result in an unexpected

accident:

General roads other than highways

(Driving under these conditions

using the MRCC with Stop & Go

function system is not possible.)

Roads with sharp curves and where

vehicle tra

c is heavy with

insu

cient space between vehicles,

or roads where frequent and

repetitive acceleration and

deceleration occur (Driving under

these conditions using the MRCC

with Stop & Go function is not

possible.)

When entering and exiting

interchanges, service areas, and

parking areas of highways (If you exit

a highway while headway control is

in use, the vehicle ahead will no

longer be tracked and your vehicle

may accelerate to the set speed.)

Slippery roads such as ice or

snow-bound roads (Tires could spin

causing you to lose vehicle control,

or the stop hold control may not

operate.)

Long, descending slopes (to

maintain distance between vehicles,

the system automatically and

continuously applies the brakes

which could result in the loss of

brake power.)

Slopes with a steep gradient (The

vehicle ahead may not be detected

correctly, your vehicle may slide

while stopped by the stop hold

control, and it may accelerate

suddenly after it starts moving.)

Two-wheeled vehicles such as

motorcycles or bicycles are ahead.

For safety purposes, switch the MRCC

with Stop & Go function system o

when it is not being used.

Leaving the MRCC with Stop & Go

function system turned on when it is

not in use is dangerous as it could

operate unexpectedly, resulting in an

accident.
