When using the Smart Regeneration
System take the following precau

tions:
䳜 If an emergency stop is neces

sary, you must apply the brakes.
䳜 Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during a high-speed
driving, a serious collision may
result.
䳜 Always maintain sufficient brak

ing distance and decelerate your
vehicle by applying the brakes if
necessary.
䳜 The Smart Regeneration System
is designed to detect and monitor
the vehicle ahead in the roadway
through radar signals. It is not
designed to detect oncoming
vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.
䳜 Vehicles moving in front of you
with a frequent lane change 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 cau
-
tiously to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occurring.
䳜 The Smart Regeneration System
may not recognize complex driv
-
ing situations so always pay
attention to driving conditions
and control your vehicle speed.
