Driving your vehicle
When the system is turned on from
the User Settings mode, but the front
radar doesn't recognize the vehicle
in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in white.If the front radar recognizes the vehi-
cle in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in
blue. The regenerative braking level
is automatically controlled depend-
ing on the driving condition of the
vehicle in front and the level is indi-
cated with arrows.
However, current regenerative brak-
ing level is maintained if the driver
depresses the brake pedal while the
system is in activation. Also, the sys-
tem is cancelled temporarily if the
accelerator pedal is depressed.

The Smart Regeneration
System which automatically
controls the regenerative brak-
ing level when coasting is only
a supplemental system for the
driver's convenience. The sys-
tem cannot completely stop the
vehicle nor avoid all collisions.
The brake control may be insuf-
ficient depending on the speed
of the vehicle in front and when
the vehicle in front suddenly
stops, a vehicle cuts in sudden-
ly or there is a steep slope.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.

Recognition - Front Radar
Sensor
In order for the Smart Regeneration
System to operate properly, always
make sure the radar sensor cover is
clean and free of dirt, snow, and
debris. Dirt, snow, or foreign sub-
stances on the lens may adversely
affect the sensing performance of
the sensor. In this case, the system
operation may stop temporarily and
not operate normally.
Driving your vehicle
Do not apply license plate
frame or foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may adverse-
ly affect the sensing perform-
ance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor
and lens cover clean and free
of dirt and debris.

Warning Message
Check Smart Regeneration System
The message will appear when the
system is not functioning normally.
The system will be disabled and the
"AUTO" indicator in the LCD display
will be turned off. Check for foreign
substances on the front radar.
Remove any dirt, snow, or foreign
material that could interfere with the
radar sensors. If the system still does
not operate normally, take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er and have the system checked.
Limitations of the System
The Smart Regeneration System
may not operate properly in certain
situations when the driving condition
is beyond the performance of the
front radar sensor.
Driver's attention is required in such
cases when the system does not
react properly or operate uninten-
tionally.

(Continued)
Use only a soft cloth to wash
the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the Smart
Regeneration System may not
operate correctly. In this case,
a warning message may not
be displayed. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around
the radar sensor, the Smart
Regeneration System may not
operate properly. Have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

The Smart Regeneration System
may not operate temporarily due
to:
Electrical interference
Modifying the suspension
Differences of tire abrasion or
tire pressure
Installing different type of tires
NOTICE
Driving your vehicle
(Continued)
Vehicles moving in front of
you with frequent lane
changes may cause a delay in
the system's reaction or may
cause the system to react to a
vehicle actually in an adjacent
lane. Always drive cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
The Smart Regeneration
System may not recognize
complex driving situations so
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
When using the Smart
Regeneration System take the
following precautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes.
Keep a safe distance accord-
ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is too
close and the brakes are sud-
denly applied, a serious colli-
sion may result.
Always maintain sufficient
braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
The Smart Regeneration
System cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.

Driving your vehicle
Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the vehicle is not in the ready
( ) mode or the vehicle is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will
be longer than with power brakes.
When the vehicle is not in the ready
( ) mode, the reserve brake
power is partially depleted each time
the brake pedal is applied. Do not
pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.

Take the following precautions:
Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-
sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
When descending down a
long or steep hill, use the pad-
dle shifter (left side lever) to
increase regenerative braking
control in order to control
your speed without using the
brake pedal excessively.
Applying the brakes continu-
ously will cause the brakes to
overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking per-
formance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle's ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes while maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.
