Collision Warning

~2min read

If there is a high risk of collision due to sudden braking of the vehicle ahead, or insufficient safe distance from the vehicle ahead while driving with SCC, and driver braking or steering is required, the Following Distance indicator will flash on the cluster and a collision warning will sound.

In this case, reduce your speed immediately.

✽ NOTICE

  • Even if the warning message does not appear and the warning sound does not sound, always pay attention to driving conditions to prevent hazardous situations from occurring.
  • Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent occupants from hearing the system warning sounds.
  • If the vehicle cannot maintain a sufficient distance, a warning will sound and flash on the cluster. If a warning sounds, check the surrounding traffic conditions and, if necessary, press the brake pedal to control speed. Always pay attention in case of danger, even if no warning sound is heard.

✽ NOTICE

  • If the speed of the vehicle ahead is similar to your vehicle's speed or faster, the system may not warn you that you are not maintaining a sufficient set distance. Always pay attention in case of danger, even if no warning sound is heard.
  • If the speed of the vehicle ahead is too slow, the system may not warn you that you are not maintaining a sufficient set distance. Always pay attention in case of danger, even if no warning sound is heard.
  • If you set the SCC speed and press the accelerator pedal, the system may not warn you that you are not maintaining a sufficient set distance. Always pay attention in case of danger, even if no warning sound is heard.

If a vehicle ahead (vehicle speed: less than 20 mph (30 km/h)) moves into an adjacent lane, a warning sound will sound and a message will appear. Adjust your vehicle speed for vehicles or objects that may suddenly appear ahead by pressing the brake pedal according to the road conditions ahead and driving conditions.
