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.

WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist:
• For your safety, change the Settings
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 for more than 3 seconds,
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
will turn off automatically. In this
case, the system cannot be set
from the Settings menu and the

warning light will illuminate on the
cluster which is normal. If ESC is
turned on by pressing 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.

Driver assistance system7-10
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.

System disabled
OTM070093NOTM070095N
When the front windshield where the
front view camera is located, front radar
cover or sensor is covered with foreign
material, such as snow or rain, it can
reduce the detecting performance and
temporarily limit or disable Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs the ‘Forward Safety
system(s) disabled. Camera obscured’ or
the ‘Forward Safety system(s) disabled.
Radar blocked’ warning message,
and the
and warning lights will
illuminate on the cluster.
The system will operate normally when
when such snow, rain or foreign material
is removed.
If the system does not operate normally
after obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign
material) is removed, we recommend
that the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
• Even though the warning message or
warning light does not appear on the
cluster, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not properly operate in an
area (e.g. open terrain), where any
substance are not detected after
turning ON the engine.
Limitations of the system
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may
not operate normally, or the system
may operate unexpectedly under the
following circumstances:
• The detecting sensor or the
surroundings are contaminated or
damaged
• The temperature around the front
view camera is high or low
• The camera lens is contaminated due
to tinted, filmed or coated windshield,
damaged glass, or stuck of foreign
material (sticker, bug, etc.) on the
glass
• Moisture is not removed or frozen on
the windshield
• Washer fluid is continuously sprayed,
or the wiper is on
• Driving in heavy rain or snow, or thick

WARNING
• Driving on a curve
OADAS014
OADAS016OADAS018
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles,
pedestrians or cyclists in front of you
on curved roads adversely affecting
the performance of the sensors. This
may result in no warning or braking
assist when necessary.
When driving on a curve, you must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, steer the vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
OADAS015
OADAS017OADAS019
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may detect a vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist in the next lane or outside the
lane when driving on a curved road.
If this occurs, the system may
unnecessarily warn the driver and
control the brake. Always check the
traffic conditions around the vehicle.
