ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be
used briefly to help free the vehicle if
stuck in snow or mud by temporarily
stopping operation of the ESC to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press
the ESC OFF button while driving on
a flat road surface.To prevent damage to the trans-
mission:
Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively while
the ESC, ABS, and parking brake
warning lights are displayed.
The repairs would not be cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do
not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are dis-
played.
When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system. It
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tires can suddenly become uneven.
i
NOTICE
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The VSM is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices.
Never drive too fast for the
road conditions. The VSM sys-
tem will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe
accidents.

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 warning
light illuminates when the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off.
If the warning light remains ON when
the AEB is activated, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
The driver can select the initial warn- ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play.
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 dis-
tance between the vehicle ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
Even though, 'Early' is selected if the
front vehicle suddenly stops the ini-
tial warning activation time may not
seem fast.
- 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 pedes-
trian ahead before the initial warning
occurs. - Late :
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated later than normal. This set-
ting reduces the amount of distance
between the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead before the initial warning
occurs.
Select 'Late' when traffic is light and
when driving speed is slow.
Prerequisite for activation
The AEB system is on and ready
when AEB is selected on the LCD
display and when the following pre-
requisites are satisfied:
- The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is on.
- Driving speed exceeds approxi- mately 6mph (10km/h). (The AEB
is only activated within a certain
speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian or a vehicle in front, which may col-
lide with your vehicle. (The AEB
may not be activated or may sound
a warning alarm in accordance
with the driving situation or vehicle
condition.)

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.
Forward Warning (1stwarning)
This initial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a warning
chime.
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 igni-
tion switch to the ON position.
The driver can deactivate the
AEB by canceling the 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.

Collision Warning (2ndwarning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs by the
engine management system to help
decelerate the vehicle.
- Your vehicle speed may deceleratemoderately.
- The AEB system limitedly controls the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision.
Emergency Braking(3rdwarning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
- The AEB system limitedly controls
the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision. The brake
control is maximized just before a
collision.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the brakingsystem enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
The AEB provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The AEB braking control is auto- matically canceled, when risk fac-
tors disappear.
OPDE056037
OPDE056038
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there
is a warning message or alarm
from the AEB system.
CAUTION

Driving your vehicle
AEB Sensor
In order for the AEB system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor cover or sensor is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
sensor cover or sensor may adverse-
ly affect the sensing performance of
the sensor. Do not apply license plate mold-
ing or 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 cover clean and free of dirt
and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressur-
ized water directly on the sensor
or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the AEB system may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)
NOTICE
The AEB system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle ahead, and the
driver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement
weather and road conditions
may affect the operation of the
AEB system.
WARNING
The AEB braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.

System Malfunction
Check AEB system
When the AEB is not working prop-erly, the AEB warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning 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 (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light.
The AEB is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle 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 condi-
tions, the AEB system may
activate prematurely. This ini-
tial warning message 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 pedestri-
an ahead. The AEB system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.

(Continued)
If there is a malfunction with
the AEB system, the automat-
ic emergency braking is not
applied even though the brak-
ing system is operating nor-
mally.
If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
The AEB system may activate
during braking and the vehi-
cle may stop suddenly shift-
ing loose objects toward the
passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured.
The AEB system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid a colli-
sion.
The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
