Smart Cruise on '15

[allisondbl]

You can use the +/- switch to resume or gas paddle

Thanks tx1234 but this does not answer question: know you can supposedly use gas pedal to resume, but whole point is to NOT have to use pedal but instead be able to set cc, have car auto stop when car in front stops, tap to resume, stop automatically when car in front stops, tap to resume over and over and over, and that's tap THE RESUME BUTTON not the pedal. That's what i need a user to actually confirm: that they use the Genesis 2015 cruise in stop and go traffic and never have to use pedal!

Right from the Hyundai Information website:

•Smart Cruise Control: Radar assisted, automatically maintains a preset distance between
vehicles at a pre-selected speed: SCC operates like regular cruise control when there are no
other vehicles in front
— When there is another vehicle in front, SCC engages the brakes automatically and slows
down the vehicle to maintain speed with the vehicle in front while retaining the preset
distance
— Driver can select one of four distance settings
— Includes Stop/Start Function. When activated, Genesis will automatically come to a
complete stop when vehicle ahead stops. The driver does not need to engage the brake.
— The vehicle will then restart automatically if the vehicle ahead starts within 3 seconds.
After 3 seconds, the Genesis can resume speed by tapping the accelerator pedal or
pressing the Resume button on the steering wheel

Thanks, that's helpful but unfortunately, given the below, not determinative in STOP AND GO TRAFFIC which is what I'm concerned with.

I read through the Owner's Manual, Pages 5-54 - 5-63

"The Smart Cruise Control speed
can be set as follows:
• 20 mph (30 km/h)~110 mph (180
km/h): when there is no vehicle in
front
• 0 mph (0 km/h)~110 mph (180
km/h): when there is a vehicle in
front"

So the car CAN be set to move at less than 20 IF there is a car in front BUT it

"Cancelled automatically [when?] ...

• The vehicle stops and goes repeatedly
for a long period of time."

So how long is a long period which will cancel the SCC being usable??


What I think I really need is someone who has driven the car for a while and used it in stop and go traffic and had it work with just repeatedly hitting the Resume button or who can say it will NOT work this way to pretty please chime in.

Respectfully, I'm having a hard time figuring out which part of your question isn't being answered by our responses. I think it comes down to this: If YOU cancel your SCC it stays cancelled, but if the car cancels it through its automatic operation (car in front of you stopped for more than three seconds) it can be resumed either by applying the gas or hitting the resume button. At least that's how it works for me.

If your question still isn't answered you may have to supply us, or at least me, with a more detailed description of your particular driving situation.

 

[markpoisson]

I am not confident anyone will be able to answer this to your satisfaction. My recommendation is to go out and take an extended test drive to assure it works to your liking. That way you can not only base your decision to get the car on the SCC functionality but also how the car handles as a whole.

I am sure the salesman will appreciate your thoroughness.

 

[Daves1015]

It's worked well for me. It is worked as advertised.

 

[Pahaska]

The only place I have found that the smart cruise does not work well is on winding roads, I have learned to switch the smart cruise over to the good old-fashioned fixed cruise and control my own spacing.

On curves, if the car ahead suddenly curves right or left, the radar loses it and suddenly accelerates. The same is true for a car parked close to the road on a curve. The radar also sometimes catches an approaching car in the other lane and thinks it is in my lane and decelerates suddenly. Not good with the usual tailgaters.

I expected this and I'm glad I can revert to dumb cruise control or just use the foot feed like in the old days.

 

[Ernie3647]

Be thankful you have the luxury of reverting to conventional cruise. It wasn't possible till the 2015 model year. Before that if your car had the tech package you either had SCC or nothing.
The condition you speak of is even more of a nuisance in my G since it uses a laser to govern cruise and the beam is apparently very narrow so unless the car is directly in front it just takes off but it does have conventional cruise also available.

Not so. My 2010 4.6 Tech had both.

 

[Ernie3647]

Didn't know that my 2011 with tech package didn't
I remember a thread a short while back concerning this topic with posters of cars from different years stating they also didn’t have that ability.

I have 2010 Tech and don't have reg CC feature...

 

[Pahaska]

I have read a lot of complaints on this forum from gen 1 owners that had only the smart cruise and not the conventional cruise. The only solution on a curvy road was to turn it off.

 

[ckon]

I have 2010 Tech and don't have reg CC feature...

If I recall correctly it's selected by holding one of the cruise switches in for 2 or 3 seconds - maybe the Cruise on/off or the interval selection button?

I owe you an apology - I've just looked in the 2010 manual and don't see any reference to being able to switch out the SCC to CC. I must be confusing it with our 2013 Accord. Sorry.

PS: I found it - it was the Honda.

I think allisondbl's question centered around undocumented limitations of the SCC system. Phrased another way, my impression of his question is: If I'm stuck in stop and go traffic for hours, can I just press resume endlessly and never have to touch the pedals?

He's tried that in other vehicles and found limitations, such as the Legacy ceasing normal operation after five stops. His test drive didn't uncover such a limitation, but that's hardly the same thing as being in traffic for hours, which isn't really traditional test drive material. In fact this kind of thread is absolutely perfect for his question.

Daves1015 said it works well for him, but didn't include crucial information like how long of a traffic jam he's been in that would be really helpful to allisondbl. I mean, it worked well for me on my test drive too, but I haven't had it in rush hour traffic for 1+hrs so I can't answer his question.

I'm hoping this helps everyone involved.

All righty gonna give describing issue a try as I'm beginning to think the car CAN do what I want ...

I HAVE tested that G's SCC will follow a car and stop when the car in front stops and restart a time or two by pushing resume, but can it do it over and over and over and over?

In sum, key for me is when stuck in stop and go traffic at - for example - a tunnel, I want to not have to continually shift my foot from gas to brake to gas for an hour, but instead tap Resume and move that foot or two and have G stop itself when the car in front stops and resume moving when I hit resume again and then stop when the car in front stops, etc. over and over.

AND if it does this, what if I panic and MYSELF hit the brake pedal, thus taking it OUT of SCC; can I - EVEN AT LESS THAN 20MPH - take my foot off brake, let it start forward and hit SCC and Set (or just Set?) at E.G. 10 mph, and have G restart SCC and again let me tap Resume for moving forward over and over. (Just need to protect my leg from having to move pedal, brake, pedal, brake for that half an hour of stop and go ...)

Any and all help greatly appreciated with this thank you!

 

[markpoisson]

Alright - as luck would have it, on my drive from NC to GA yesterday, I got stuck in stop and go and with the SCC on, I was able to drive without touching the brake/gas once. When the car was stopped for more than 3 seconds, it tells you to resume with the Res button (even puts a graphic of the button in the gauge cluster). I probably did this 20+ times in a matter or 15 minutes.

As for your second point, if you panic, then all bets are off. You need to re-engage it as you did the first time (above 20 mph).

That said, I never once felt a need to slam the brakes on. The SCC works that well. It is a bit unnerving at first but now it's fun

Nope, that feature was added in the later model year, 2010 doesn't have it. It was discussed somewhere on this forum before.

First of all, analog THANK YOU! Other than fact I bat for the women's team a perfect restatement of issue!

And markpoisson: thank you so much for definitely answering question! .

ONLY thing I will continue to question - with absolute respect as you've said it's NOT so - is that the manual specifically says on page 5-55 that the SCC can be set FROM ZERO as long as there's a car in front of the G. Did you confirm that in SCC (as opposed to just CC) it ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT reset at less than 20?

And seriously thanks all for all the help ...now if i can just find a 2015 black on black with all three packages near me ... and dont'cha wish you could get black interior with blue or red paint ... *whining* why nooooooot ...

 

[Gunkk]

why nooooooot ...

Because HMA's marketing is cllllluuuuuuueeeeeellllleeeeessssss!!
