LFA Operation
ODN8069079
With the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON or START position, Lane
Following Assist can be activated by
pressing the button.
Operating conditions
When the system is activated, the
indicator () on the cluster will
illuminate. The color of the indicator will
change depending on the condition of
LFA system.
- Gr

een: Steering assist mode is ON
- Whit

e: Steering assist mode is OFF
LFA system operation
• If the vehicle is inside the lane with
both lanes detected by the system
(lane color changes from gray to
white), and there is no abrupt steering
made by the driver, LFA system
changes to steering assist mode.
The
indicator light will come on
green, and the system helps the
vehicle stay in line by controlling the
steering wheel.
When the steering wheel is not
controlled temporarily, the

indicator light will flash green and
change to white.
Warning Message
ODN8069068L
Keep hands on steering wheel
If the driver takes their hands off the
steering wheel for several seconds while
LFA system is activated, the system will
warn the driver.
Information
Hold the steering wheel tight. Otherwise,
LFA system could misjudge that the
driver’s hands are off the steering wheel,
and the above warning may occur.
WARNING
The warning message may appear
late according to road conditions.
Therefore, always have your hands on
the steering wheel while driving.

Driver’s hands not detected.
LFA system is disabled temporarily
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after the
message “Keep hands on steering
wheel”, the system will not control the
steering wheel and warn the driver
only when the driver crosses the lane
markers.
However, if the driver has their hands on
the steering wheel again, the system will
start controlling the steering wheel.
WARNING
• LFA system is a supplemental system
only. It is the responsibility of the
driver to safely steer the vehicle and
to maintain it in its lane.
• Turn off LFA system and drive
without using the system in the
following situations:
-In bad w

eather
-In bad r

oad conditions
-When the s

teering wheel needs
to be controlled by the driver
frequently
- A tr

ailer or carrier is installed.
Information
• Even though the steering is assisted by
the system, the driver may control the
steering wheel.
• The steering wheel may feel heavier
when the steering wheel is assisted by
the system than when it is not.

Check LFA (Lane Following Assist) system
If there is a problem with the system a
message will appear for a few seconds. If
the problem continues LFA system failure
indicator will illuminate.

System malfunction
ODN8A069220
Check Highway Driving Assist (HDA)
system
If there is a problem with the system, a
message will appear for a few seconds. If
the problem continues, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
• High Driving Assist is limited in other
countries.
• High Driving Assist only operates based
on the speed limits of the highway but it
does not work with the speed cameras.
• The time gap could occur between the
navigation speed warning and system
operation.
• The system is not designed to work
on highways other than mentioned as
a controlled access road. The system
automatically cancels when you leave
the highway.
• If there is a problem with Highway
Driving Assist, the system cannot be
activated in the infotainment system
screen.
• If your vehicle is 1640 ft. (500 m) ahead
and behind of an open tollgate, the
system is automatically canceled. Also,
it is converted to Smart Cruise Control
automatically with a pop-up message
on the navigation. •
In the automatic speed setting mode,
the vehicle automatically accelerates
or decelerates when the highway speed
limit changes.
• If your vehicle speed exceeds 95 mph
(153 km/h), Highway Driving Assist
is automatically canceled. Also, it is
converted to Smart Cruise Control
automatically with a pop-up message
on the navigation.
• If you enter a rest area on the highway
or a IC/JC (intersection/junction)
without a destination set, the system is
canceled later than when the vehicle
actually leaves the highway.

WARNING
• Always be aware of road conditions
while driving and be alert for
unexpected situations even though
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
system and Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
are operating.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
system and Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
are supplemental systems to assist
you. Do not entirely rely on the
systems. Always pay attention, while
driving, for your safety.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
system and Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
are not substitutes for proper and
safe driving. Always drive safely and
use caution when backing up the
vehicle.
System Setting and Activation
System setting
• The driver can activate the systems
by placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting “User
Settings
→ Driver Assistance → Parking
Sa

fety → Rear Cross-Traffic Safety”.
R

CCW and RCCA turn on and get
ready to be activated when ‘Rear
Cross-Traffic safety’ is selected.
• When the engine is turned off then on
again, the systems are always ready to
be activated.
• When the system is initially turned
on and when the engine is turned off
then on again, the warning light will

If the risk of collision is detected while RCCW is generated, brake is controlled. The
instrument cluster will inform the driver of the brake control. If the rear view monitor
system is in activation, a message will also appear on the infotainment system screen.
After the brake control, the driver must immediately depress the brake pedal and
check the surroundings.
- The br
ake activation by the system lasts for about 2 seconds.
The driver must pay attention as the brake is disengaged after 2 seconds.
- The br

ake control by the system is cancelled if the driver depresses the brake pedal
with sufficient power.
- Br

ake control is activated once for each right/left approach after shifting the shift
button to R (Reverse).
The brake control may not operate properly according to the status of the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control). The same warning message is displayed on the
instrument cluster for this case also.
- When the ESC (Electr

onic Stability Control) warning light is on.
- When the ESC (Electr

onic Stability Control) is engaged in a different function.

Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the below
suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and keep a longer
braking distance.
• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
• When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, or sand, use second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary wheel spin.
• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other
non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow,
or mud.
WARNING
Downshifting with an automatic
transmission while driving on slippery
surfaces can cause an accident. The
sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and excessive
wheel spin occurs, the temperature
of the tires can increase very quickly.
If the tires become damaged, a tire
blow out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous - you and
others may be injured. Do not attempt
this procedure if people or objects are
anywhere near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle can overheat quickly, possibly
causing an engine compartment fire
or other damage. Try to avoid spinning
the wheels as much as possible to
prevent overheating of either the tires
or the engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle
to spin the wheels above 35 mph (56
km/h).
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage to
the transmission, and tire damage. See
"Towing" in chapter 7.
