Hyundai Sonata: Smart Cruise Control system / Radar to Detect Distance to the Vehicle Ahead

The Smart Cruise Control uses a radar to detect distance to the vehicle ahead.

Radar check message

If the radar or cover is dirty or obscured with foreign matter such as snow, this message will appear. In this case, the system may not function temporarily, but it does not indicate a malfunction of the Smart Cruise Control System. Clean the radar or cover by using a soft cloth.

SCC (Smart Cruise Control) malfunction message

The message will appear when the vehicle to vehicle distance control system is not functioning normally.

Take your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the system checked.

CAUTION

• Do not install accessories around the radar and do not replace the bumper by yourself. It may interfere with the radar performance.
• Always keep the radar and bumper clean.
• To prevent radar cover damage from occurring, wash the car with a soft cloth.
• Do not paint the radar cover.
• Do not damage the radar or radar area by a strong impact. If the radar moves slightly off position, the Smart Cruise Control System will not operate correctly. If this occurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only a genuine HYUNDAI radar cover for your vehicle.
