How vehicle radio works
FM reception
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then received by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear. This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio sta-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions in
the area.

Information
• It is best to maintain a moderateengine speed until the vehicle engine
comes up to normal operating tem-
perature. Avoid harsh or abrupt
acceleration or deceleration whilst
the engine is still cold.
• Always start the vehicle with your foot on the brake pedal. Do not
depress the accelerator whilst start-
ing the vehicle. Do not race the
engine whilst warming it up. To prevent damage to the vehicle:
Do not hold the ignition key in
the START position for more
than 10 seconds. Wait 5 to 10
seconds before trying again.
Do not turn the ignition switch to the START position with the
engine running. It may damage
the starter.
If the " " indicator turns off whilst you are in motion, do not

Information
• Do not wait for the engine to warmup whilst the vehicle remains sta-
tionary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. Steep accelerating and
decelerating should be avoided.
• Always start the vehicle with your foot on the brake pedal. Do not
depress the accelerator whilst start-
ing the vehicle. Do not race the
engine whilst warming it up.
• If ambient temperature is low, the " " indicator may remain illumi-
nated longer than the normal amount

Driving your vehicle(Continued)
The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
The FCA 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 FCA
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 FCA system may
unintentonally activate. This
initial 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 FCA system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
If there is a malfunction with the
FCA system, the Forward
Collision-avoidance Assist is
not applied even though the
braking system is operating
normally.
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 FCA 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 FCA system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid a colli-
sion.(Continued)

5-58
Driving your vehicle
The windscreen glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically
The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough surfaces, or roads
with sudden gradient changes
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations whilst
driving
The vehicle is moving under ground level or inside a building
The vehicle is driven near areas containing metal substances such
as a construction zone, railroad,
etc.
The vehicle in front is moving verti- cally to the driving direction
The vehicle in front is stopped ver- tically
The vehicle in front is driving towards your vehicle or reversing - Driving on a curve
The performance of the FCA system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
In certain instances on a curved
road, the FCA system may activate
prematurely.
Also, in certain instances the front
radar sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle
travelling on a curved road.
In these cases, the driver must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance. The FCA system may recognise a
vehicle in the next lane when driving
on a curved road.
In this case, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, whilst driving. If
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
Also, when necessary depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the sys-
tem from unnecessarily decelerating
your vehicle.
Check the surrounding traffic condi-
tions before use.

Information
In some instances, the FCA system
may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.
i
Do not use the Autonomous
Emergency Braking system
when towing a vehicle.
Application of the FCA sys-
tem whilst towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
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 clearance.
The FCA system is designed
to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.(Continued)
(Continued)
Never try to test the operation
of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.
WARNING
When you replace the wind-
screen glass, bumper or
radar/camera, we recommend
that you take your vehicle to a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer
and have the system checked
for calibration.

LKA operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA sys-
tem:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press the LKA system but-
ton located on the instrument panel
on the left hand side of the steering
wheel.
■Type A
OAE056049R■Type B
OAE056050R
(Continued)
The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the system".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
You may not hear a warning
sound of LKA system because
of excessive audio sound.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-
tion if the sunlight is reflected.
Always have your hands on the
steering wheel whilst the LKA
system is activated. If you con-
tinue to drive with your hands
off the steering wheel after the
"Keep hands on steering
wheel" warning message
appears, the system will stop
controlling the steering wheel.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system. The driver
must always follow the speed
limit when using the system.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.
When you tow a trailer, make
sure that you turn off the LKA
system.
Whilst other beeps such as
the seat belt warning sound
are in operation and override
the LKA alarming system,
LKA beeps may not occur.

tently setting a speed.
Use the Cruise Control system
only when travelling on open
highways in good weather.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use the Cruise Control
when it may be unsafe to keep
the vehicle at a constant
speed:
- When driving in heavy trafficor when traffic conditions
make it difficult to drive at a
constant speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, or snow-covered roads
- When driving on hilly or windy roads
- When driving in windy areas
- When driving with limited view (possibly due to bad
weather such as fog, snow,
rain and sandstorm)
Do not use cruise control
when towing a trailer.
