Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) helps
prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards when starting a vehicle from a
stop on a hill. The system operates the
brakes automatically for approximately 2
seconds and releases the brake after 2
seconds or when the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
The HAC does not operate when theshift lever is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral)
The HAC activates even though the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is
off but does not activate when the
ESC has malfunctioned.
Good Braking Practices
Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is driv-
en through standing water or if it is
washed. Your vehicle will not stop as
quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes
may cause the vehicle to pull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes light-
ly until the braking action returns to nor-
mal, taking care to keep the vehicle
under control at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal, stop as
soon as it is safe to do so and call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for assis-
tance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but constant
pedal pressure can result in the brakes
overheating, brake wear, and possibly
even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
vehicle pointed straight ahead while you
slow down. When you are moving slowly
enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off
the road and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal
when the vehicle is stopped to prevent
the vehicle from rolling forward.
NOTICE
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting off
on a incline. The HAC activates only
for approximately 2 seconds.
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a complete
stop and continue to depress the
brake pedal. Move the shift lever
into the 1
stgear (for manual trans-
mission vehicle) or P (Park, for
automatic transmission vehicle)
position, then apply the parking
brake, and place the ignition switch
in the LOCK/OFF position.
Vehicles parked with the parking
brake not applied or not fully
engaged may roll inadvertently and
may cause injury to the driver and
others. ALWAYS apply the parking
brake before exiting the vehicle.

cle for an extended period of time.
- When there is inclement weather such as heavy snow or rain.
If any of these conditions occur, the light
on the BSD switch and the system will
turn off automatically. When the BSD cancelled warning mes-
sage is displayed in the cluster, check to
make sure that the rear bumper is free
from any dirt or snow in the areas where
the sensor is located. Remove any dirt,
snow, or foreign material that could inter-
fere with the radar sensors.

Information
• The warning chime will turn off whenthe detected vehicle moves out of the
sensing area or if your vehicle is moved
away from the detected vehicle.
• The system may not operate properly due to other factors or circumstances.
Always pay attention to your surround-
ings.
• 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 properly
when the bumper has been dam-
aged, or if the rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width of the
road. When the road is narrow, 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 outer side
view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
- The outer side view mirror housing isdamaged.
- The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
- The window is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
- The window is tinted.
NOTICEi
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detected at
the rear side by the system.
To avoid accidents, do not focus
only on the warning light and
neglect to see the surrounding of
the vehicle. (Continued)
(Continued)
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a Blind
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 surroundings
while driving.
The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA) are not a substitute
for proper and safe driving prac-
tices. Always drive safely and use
caution when changing lanes or
backing up your vehicle. The
Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.
WARNING

5-52
Driving your vehicle
The Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system is designed to detect and
monitor the vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway through radar
signals and camera recognition to warn
the driver that a collision is imminent, and
if necessary, apply emergency braking.System Setting and Activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by plac-
ing the ignition switch to the ON position
and by selecting 'User Settings', 'Driving
Assist', and 'AEB (Automatic Braking
System)'. The AEB deactivates, when the
driver deselects the system setting.The warning light illuminates
on the LCD display, when you
cancel the AEB system. The
driver can monitor the AEB
ON/OFF status on the LCD display. If the
warning light remains ON when the AEB
is activated, have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. The driver can select the initial warning
activation time in the User Settings in the
LCD display. The options for the initial
Forward Collision Warning include the
following:
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 ahead before the ini-
tial warning occurs.

Take the following precautions
when using the Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB):
This system is only a supplemen-
tal 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 in accor-
dance with the road conditions or
while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden sit-
uations from occurring. AEB
does not stop the vehicle com-
pletely and is not a collision
avoidance system.

AEB Front Radar Sensor
In order for the AEB system to operate
properly, always make sure the radar
sensor cover is clean and free of dirt,
snow, and debris. Dirt, snow, or foreign
substances on the lens may adversely
affect the sensing performance of the
radar.
Warning message and warninglight
When the sensor cover is blocked with
dirt, snow, or debris, the AEB system
operation may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will appear
on the LCD display. Remove any dirt,
snow, or debris and clean the radar sen-
sor cover before operating the AEB sys-
tem.
The AEB may not properly operate in an
area (e.g. open terrain), where any sub-
stances are not detected after turning
ON the engine. Do not apply foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor. Doing
so may adversely affect the sensing
performance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor and lens cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or sen-
sor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnecessary force on the radar sensor or sensor
cover. If the sensor is forcibly
moved out of proper alignment, the
AEB system may not operate cor-
rectly. In this case, a warning mes-
sage may not be displayed. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the front bumper becomes dam- aged in the area around the radar
sensor, the AEB system may not
operate properly. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to repair or replace a damaged sensor
or sensor cover. Do not apply paint
to the sensor cover.

System Malfunction
When the AEB is not working properly,the AEB warning light ( ) will illumi-
nate and the warning message will
appear for a few seconds. After the
message disappears, the master warn-
ing light ( ) will illuminate. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The AEB warning message may appear along with the illumination of
the ESC warning light.

OAD055018/OLF056473N
The AEB is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s conven-
ience. The driver should hold the
responsibility to control the vehi-
cle operation. Do not solely
depend on the AEB system.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed.
In certain instances and under
certain driving conditions, the
AEB system may activate prema-
turely. This initial warning mes-
sage appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. The AEB system may not
activate and the warning mes-
sage will not be displayed.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
If there is a malfunction with the
AEB system, the automatic emer-
gency braking is not applied even
though the braking system is
operating normally.
The AEB system operates only to
detect vehicles or pedestrians in
front of the vehicle.
The AEB system does not oper-
ate when the vehicle is in reverse.
The AEB system is not designed
to detect other objects on the
road such as animals.
The AEB system does not detect
cross traffic vehicles that are
approaching.
The AEB system cannot detect
the driver approaching the side
view of a parked vehicle (for
example on a dead end street.)
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and
if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving speed
in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.(Continued)

Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
- The pedestrian is not fully detected bythe camera recognition system, for
example, if the pedestrian is leaning
over or is not fully walking upright.
- The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the camera
detection area.
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that
easily blends into the background,
making it difficult to be detected by the
camera recognition system.
- The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight or in sun
glare) or too dark (e.g. when driving on
a dark rural road at night).
- It is difficult to detect and distinguish the pedestrian from other objects in the
surroundings, for example, when there
is a group of pedestrians or a large
crowd.Information
In some instances, the AEB system may be
cancelled when subjected to electromag-
netic interference.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interfer- ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

Do not use the Automatic
Emergency Braking system when
towing a vehicle. Application of
the AEB system while towing
may adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing vehi-
cle.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the
cab, or when the vehicle in front
of you has higher ground clear-
ance.
The AEB system is designed to
detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian in
the roadway through radar sig-
nals and camera recognition. It is
not designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.
Never try to test the operation of
the AEB system. Doing so may
cause severe injury or death.
