Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards than
driving in the daylight. Here are some
important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare
from other driver's headlamps.
• Keep your headlamps clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the
headlamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your eyes
to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or on
slick pavement:
• Slow down and allow extra following
distance. A heavy rainfall makes
it harder to see and increases the
distance needed to stop your vehicle.
• Turn OFF your Cruise Control.
• Replace your windshield wiper blades
when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
• Tires should be properly maintained
with at least 2/32nds of an inch of
tread depth. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop on
wet pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. See "Tire
Tread" in chapter 8.
• Turn on your headlamps to make it
easier for others to see you.
• Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
• If you believe your brakes may be wet,
apply them lightly while driving until
normal braking operation returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the water.
The best advice is SLOW DOWN when
the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as
the depth of tire tread decreases, refer
to "Tire Tread" in chapter 8.

Driver assistance system
7-2
Basic function
OCN7C070051
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is
designed to help detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in
the roadway and warn the driver that
a collision is imminent with a warning
message and audible warning, and if
necessary, apply emergency braking.
Detecting sensor
OCN7060030[1] : Front view camera
Refer to the picture above for the
detailed location of the detecting sensor.
CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensor:
• NEVER disassemble the detecting
sensor or sensor assembly, or apply
any impact on it.
• If the detecting sensor have been
replaced or repaired, we recommend
that you have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• NEVER install any accessories or
stickers on the front windshield, or
tint the front windshield.
• Pay extreme caution to keep the
front view camera dry.
• NEVER place any reflective objects
(i.e. white paper, mirror) over the
dashboard. Any light reflection may
prevent the system from functioning
properly.

CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensor:
• Never disassemble the detecting
sensor or sensor assembly, or apply
any impact on it.
• If the detecting sensors have been
replaced or repaired, we recommend
that you have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Never install any accessories or

• Pay extreme caution to keep the
front view camera dry.
• Never place any reflective objects
(i.e. white paper, mirror) over the
dashboard. Any light reflection may
prevent the system from functioning
properly.
• Do not apply license plate frame or
objects, such as a bumper sticker,
film or a bumper guard, near the
front radar cover.
• Always keep the front radar and
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
sensor cover. •
If unnecessary force has been
applied to the radar or around the
radar, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate
even though a warning message
does not appear on the cluster. We
recommend that the vehicle be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Use only genuine parts to repair or
replace a damaged front radar cover.
Do not apply paint to the front radar
cover.

WARNING
• The detecting range of the rear
corner radar is determined by a
standard road width, therefore, on a
narrow road, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next next lane
and warn you. In contrast, on a wide
road, the system may not be able to
detect a vehicle driving in the next
lane and may not warn you.
• When the hazard warning flasher is
on, the collision warning by the turn
signal will not operate.
Information
If the driver's seat is on the left side, the
collision warning may occur when you
turn left. Maintain a proper distance with
the vehicles in the left lane. If the driver's
seat is on the right side, the collision
warning may occur when you turn right.
Maintain a proper distance with the
vehicles in the right lane.
