SNOW mode (if equipped)
SNOW mode helps the
driver to drive more effec-
tively on slippery roads
such as snowy or muddy
roads.
• When the DRIVE MODE button is
pressed for more than one second,
the SNOW mode will operate
regardless of whichever drive
mode (NORMAL/ECO/SPORT) is
operating. If the button is pressed
once more, the drive mode (NOR-
MAL/ECO/SPORT) that was oper-
ating previously will operate.The Electronic Control Suspension
(ECS) controls the vehicle suspen-
sion automatically to maximize driv-
ing comfort by taking into account
the driving conditions such as speed,
surface of the road, cornering, stop-
ping requirements and acceleration.

If the ECS warning message comes
on, you may have a problem with the
ECS system. We recommend that
the system be checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

The Autonomous Emergency Braking
(AEB) helps avoid accidents by iden-
tifying critical situations early and
warning the driver.
AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) (IF EQUIPPED)
Take the following precautions
when using the Autonomous
Emergency Braking (AEB):
•This system is only a supple-
mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it replace
the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The
sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
•NEVER drive too fast for the
road conditions or too quickly
when cornering.
•Always drive cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring. AEB
does not stop the vehicle com-
pletely and does not avoid col-
lisions.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•AEB operates according to the
distance from the vehicle
ahead, relative velocity, and dri-
ver's operation of the brake or
accelerator pedal. Do not drive
dangerously to intentionally
operate the AEB.
•ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The AEB is not a substi-
tute for safe driving practices.

AEB Operation
Warning message
A warning message and chime will
sound when you need to use the
brake pedal or steering wheel due to
a sudden stop or lack of distance
with the vehicle ahead. The warning
messages will vary according to the
severity of the situation. Immediately
reduce your speed to prevent a colli-
sion.Brake operation
In a critical situation:
• The brake assist system enters
standby mode to react promptly
when the driver operates the brake
pedal.
• The vehicle automatically reduces
speed according to the severity of
the situation.
- Rapidly reduces speed when
vehicle speed is under 80km/h
- Slowly reduces speed when vehi-
cle speed is over 80km/h
• If the driver uses the brake pedal to
reduce vehicle speed, the brake
assist system operates to increase
braking efficiency.
• If the driver presses down hard on
the accelerator pedal or sharply
turns the steering wheel, the brake
assist system is canceled.
Seat belt operation
The driver's and passenger's seat
belt may tighten if the system detects
that a vehicle or object is close.

Automatic emergency mode
change
In a critical situation, to help avoid col-
lisions, the Automatic Emergency
Mode automatically controls the
Electronic Control Suspension (ECS)
and Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
When the critical situation is over, the
Electronic Control Suspension (ECS)
and Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
returns to its previous status.
✽NOTICE
• If the AEB is canceled from the
User Settings Mode or there is a
problem with the AEB system, the
Automatic Emergency Mode will
not work.
• If the ESC is off or there is a prob-
lem with the ESC system, the
Automatic Emergency Mode will
not work.
• The ESC must be on for the
Automatic Emergency Mode to
control ESC in collision situations.
To cancel the AEB
• Go to the User Settings Mode
(Driving Assist) and undo the check
for AEB (Autonomous Emergency
Braking) on the LCD display (For
more details, refer to "LCD Display"
in chapter 3.). The warning opera-
tion and automatic braking operation
will not function.
• To turn on the AEB, select AEB
(Autonomous Emergency Braking)
from the User Settings Mode
(Driving Assist) on the LCD display.
The warning operation and automat-
ic braking operation will function.
ODH054204C
The Automatic Emergency Mode
is a supplemental system to
assist you and its effects may dif-
fer according to road and driving
conditions. The vehicle cannot
automatically avoid a collision.
Do not solely rely on the system
and always pay attention to pre-
vent dangerous situations from
occurring.

✽NOTICE
When the engine is started, AEB is
automatically turned on. If the sys-
tem is not needed, turn the AEB sys-
tem off from the User Settings Mode
on the LCD display.
Malfunction indicator
• When the AEB system is turned
off, the AEB warning light turns on.
(Warning message does not come
on.)• If the sensor or cover is dirty or
obscured with foreign matter such
as snow, the AEB warning light
and message comes on. In this
case, the AEB system may not
function temporarily, but it does not
indicate a malfunction of the AEB
system. Clean the sensor or cover
by using a soft cloth.
• If there is a malfunction with the
AEB system, the AEB warning light
and message will come on. We
recommend that the vehicle be
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• When the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) indicator or SCC (Smart
Cruise Control) message comes
on the AEB warning message may
come on but it does not indicate a
malfunction of the AEB system. If the AEB is selected and the
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is turned off from the
User Settings Mode, the AEB
system is automatically can-
celed.
