The Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB) system is designed to
help detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian (if
equipped) in the roadway through
radar signals and camera recogni-
tion 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
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 deselects 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 extreme
care 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 all
times.
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 warning
light illuminates when the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off (Traction & Stability control
disabled).
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 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:
Late: When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated later than normal. This
setting reduces the amount of dis-
tance 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.
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.

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 StabilityControl) is activated.
- Vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10 km/h). (The AEB is only activated
within a certain speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian or a vehicle in front, which may collide
with your vehicle. (The AEB may
not be activated or may sound a
warning alarm in accordance with
the driving situation or vehicle con-
dition.)
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.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 when the POWER but-
ton is in the ON position. The
driver can deactivate the AEB
by canceling the system set-
ting on the LCD display.
If you cancel the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control)
when the AEB system is
turned on the AEB automati-
cally deactivates and the AEB
warning light illuminates.
When the ESC is cancelled
the AEB cannot be activated
on the LCD display.
