Information
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
detecting range is approximately
0.5 m ~ 20 m (1 ft ~ 65 ft). An
approaching vehicle will be detected if
their vehicle speed is within 4 km/h ~
36 km/h (2.5 ~ 22.5 mph ).
Note that the detecting range may
vary under certain conditions. As
always, use caution and pay close
attention to your surroundings when
backing up your vehicle.Warning type
If the vehicle detected by the sensors
approaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound, the warning
light on the outside rearview mirror
will blink and a message will appear
on the LCD display. Information
 The warning chime will turn off when the detected vehicle moves out
of the sensing area or if your vehicle
is moved away from the detected
vehicle.
 The system may not operate proper- ly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surrounding.
 If the sensing area near the rear bumper is blocked by either a wall
or barrier or by a parked vehicle,
the system sensing area may be
reduced.

The system may not work prop-erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumperhas been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
The BSD indicator on the outside
rearview mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
The outside rearview mirror hous-ing is damaged.
The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
The window is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
The window is tinted.
NOTICE
(Continued)
The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) are not a
substitute for proper and safe
driving practices. Always
drive safely and use caution
when changing lanes or back-
ing up your vehicle. The BlindSpot Detection System (BSD)
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.
The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side bythe system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warninglight and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with aBlind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA). Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-ings while driving. (Continued)

The Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system is designed to detect
and monitor the vehicle ahead or
detect a pedestrian (if equipped) in the
roadway through radar signals and
camera recognition to warn the driverthat a collision is imminent, and if nec-
essary, apply emergency braking.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by
placing the POWER button to the ON
position and by selecting: 'User Settings Driving Assist
Autonomous Emergency Braking'
The AEB deactivates, when the driv- er cancels the system setting.

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 extremecare and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at alltimes.
NEVER drive too fast in accor-
dance with the road condi-tions or while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. AEB does not stop the
vehicle completely and is not
a collision avoidance system.

The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the AEB
system. The driver can
monitor the AEB ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. Also, the warninglight illuminates when the ESC(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off (Traction & Stability control
disabled.) If the warning lightremains ON when the AEB is acti-
vated, we recommend you to have
the system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time on the LCD display. Go to the 'User Settings
Driving
Assist Forward Collision Warning
Late/Normal/Early'.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
Early: When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated earlier than normal. This
setting maximizes the amount of
distance between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before the initial
warning occurs. Normal:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated normally. This setting
allows for a nominal amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before the initial
warning occurs.
Late: When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated later than normal. Thissetting reduces the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before the initial
warning occurs.

Prerequisite for activation
The AEB gets ready to be activated, when the AEB is selected on the
LCD display, and when the followingprerequisites are satisfied.
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) is activated.
- To enable the system to detect pedestrians ahead, the vehicle
driving speed must be between 8km/h – 70 km/h (5 mph – 45 mph).
- To enable the system to detect a vehicle ahead, the vehicle driving
speed must be between 8 km/h –180 km/h (5 mph – 110 mph).
When traveling above 80 km/h (50mph), the AEB system only initiates
partial braking. This is to prevent
unintended full braking to stop in the
middle of the highway.
AEB warning message and
system control
The AEB produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance, or pedestrian detection. Also,
it controls the brakes in accordance
with the collision risk levels.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Early,
Normal or Late initial warning time.Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate
/deactivate the AEB system.
The AEB automatically acti-
vates upon placing the
POWER button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate the AEB by cancelingthe system setting on the LCD
display.
The AEB automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).When the ESC is canceled,
the AEB cannot be activated
on the LCD display.
