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
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.
• 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.

after parking the vehicle at a safe
location.
• With ‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’
selected, when ESC is turned off by
pressing and holding the ESC OFF

button, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist will maintain the last setting.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate in all situations or
cannot avoid all collisions.
• The driver should hold the
responsibility to control the vehicle.
Do not solely depend on Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist. Rather,
maintain a safe braking distance, and
if necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce driving speed or to stop
the vehicle.
• Never deliberately operate Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist on people,
animal, objects, etc. It may cause
serious injury or death.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate if the driver
depresses the brake pedal to avoid
collision. •
Depending on the road and driving
conditions, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may warn the driver
late or may not warn the driver.
• During Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operation, the vehicle may
stop suddenly injuring passengers
and shifting loose objects. Always
have the seat belt on and keep loose
objects secured.
• If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or audible
warning is generated, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
message may not be displayed
and audible warning may not be
generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound
of Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist if the surrounding is noisy.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may turn off or may not
operate properly or may operate
unnecessarily depending on the road
conditions and the surroundings.
WARNING
• Even if there is a problem with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate normally.
• During emergency braking,
braking control by the system will
automatically cancel when the
driver excessively depresses the
accelerator pedal or sharply steers
the vehicle.

CAUTION
• Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operating speed range may
reduce due to the conditions of
the vehicle or pedestrian in front
or surroundings. Depending on the
speed, the system may only warn
the driver, or the system may not
operate.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
will operate under certain conditions
by judging the risk level based on
the condition of the oncoming
vehicle, driving direction, speed and
surroundings.
Information
In a situation where collision is imminent,
braking may be assisted by Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist when braking
is insufficient by the driver.

assisted if the steering wheel is held
very tight or the steering wheel is
steered over a certain degree.
• Lane Keeping Assist does not operate
at all times. It is the responsibility of
the driver to safely steer the vehicle
and to maintain the vehicle in its
lane.
• The hands–off warning message
may appear late depending on road
conditions. Always have your hands
on the steering wheel while driving.
• If the steering wheel is held very
lightly, the hands–off warning

driver has their hands on the steering
wheel.
• If you attach objects to the steering
wheel, the hands-off warning may
not work properly.
