Hyundai Equus: Smart cruise control speed

To set cruise control speed:

1. Push the CRUISE (ON·OFF) button on the steering wheel to turn the system on. The CRUISE indicator light in the instrument cluster will illuminate.

2. Accelerate to the desired speed.

• 20 mph (30 km/h) ~ 113 mph (180 km/h) : when there is no vehicle in front
• 0 mph (0 km/h) ~ 113 mph (180 km/h) : when there is a vehicle in front

3.Push the SET- switch, and release it at the desired speed. The SET indicator light, set speed and vehicle to vehicle distance on the LCD screen will illuminate. Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will automatically be maintained.

If there is a vehicle in front of you, the speed may decrease to maintain the distance to the vehicle ahead.

On a steep grade, the vehicle may slow down or speed up slightly while going uphill or downhill.

To increase cruise control set speed:

Follow either of these procedures:

• Push the RES+ switch and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will increase by 5 mph (10 km/h). Release the switch at the speed you want.
• Push the RES+ switch and release it immediately. The cruising speed will increase by 1.0 mph (1.6 km/h) each time the RES+ switch is operated in this manner.
• Smart Cruise will operate to a maximum setting of 111 mph. However all local speed limit laws must be followed.

To decrease the cruising speed:

Follow either of these procedures:

• Push the SET- switch and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will decrease by 5 mph (10 km/h). Release the switch at the speed you want.
• Push the SET- switch and release it immediately. The cruising speed will decrease by 1.0 mph (1.6 km/h) each time the SET- switch is operated in this manner.
• You can set the cruise control to any speed above 19 mph (30 km/h).

To temporarily accelerate with the cruise control on:

If you want to speed up temporarily when the cruise control is on, depress the accelerator pedal.

Increased speed will not interfere with cruise control operation or change the set speed.

To return to the set speed, take your foot off the accelerator.

If you press the SET- switch at increased speed, the cruising speed will be set again.

✽ NOTICE

Be careful when accelerating temporarily, because the speed is not regulated automatically at this time even if there is a vehicle in front of you.

Cruise control will be canceled when:

Cancelled manually

• While driving

- The brake pedal is depressed.
- Pull the lever (to CANCEL) located on the steering wheel.

• While stopping with operating system

- Depress the brake pedal and pull the lever (to CANCEL).

The advanced smart cruise control turns off temporarily when the indicator on the LCD display turns off.

The CRUISE indicator is illuminated continuously.

Cancelled automatically

• The driver's door is opened.
• The shift lever is shifted to N (Neutral), R (Reverse) or P (Park).
• The EPB (electric parking brake) is applied.
• The vehicle speed is over 120 mph (190 km/h).
• The vehicle stops on a steep incline.
• The ESC, ABS or TCS is operating.
• The ESC is turned off.
• The sensor or the cover is dirty or blocked with foreign matters.
• When the vehicle is stopped for over 5 minutes.
• The vehicle stops and go repeatedly for a long period of time.
• The driver starts driving by depressing the accelerator pedal or pressing the RES+ button, if a vehicle stops far away ahead of your vehicle.
• The accelerator pedal is continuously depressed for more than 1 minute.

Each of these actions will cancel the smart cruise control operation. (the SET indicator, set speed and vehicle to vehicle distance on the LCD display will go off.)

In a condition the smart cruise control is cancelled automatically, the smart cruise control will not resume even though the RES+ or SET- button is pressed. Also, the EPB (electric parking brake) will be applied  when the vehicle is stopped.

CAUTION

If the smart cruise control is cancelled by other than the reasons mentioned, we recommend have the system checked by an authorized EQUUS dealer.

To resume cruise control set speed:

If any method other than the CRUISE switch was used to cancel cruising speed and the system is still activated, the most recent set speed will automatically resume when the RES+ switch is pushed.

It will not resume, however, if the vehicle speed has dropped below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) when the sensor detects the vehicle ahead or if the vehicle speed has dropped below approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) when there is no vehicle in front of your vehicle.

✽ NOTICE

Always check the road conditions when pressing the RES+ switch to resume speed.

To turn cruise control off, do one of the following:

• While driving

- Push the CRUISE button

• While stopping with operating system

- Depress the brake pedal and push the CRUISE button

Both of these actions cancel smart cruise control operation. If you want to resume smart cruise control operation, repeat the steps provided in “To set cruise control speed” on the previous page.
