Information
• Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
is limited in other countries.
• The system may not operate due to the existence of leading vehicles and the driving situations of the vehicle.
• The system operates regardless of
whether the sharp curve warning appears on the navigation, but the time
gap could occur between the warning and system operation.
• The navigation only provides curve information within permitted speed ranges so that the system may not
decrease its speed during extreme over-speed driving.
• 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. •
Highway Driving Assist and Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control uses the same
symbol
that indicates the status of the system.
Therefore, even if Navigation-based
Cruise Control is off, the
symbol
may be displayed.
• If there is a problem with Navigation-
based Smart Cruise Control, the system
cannot be activated in the AVN system
screen, and the
symbol will turn
off. However, if Highway Driving Assist is activated, the
symbol will be
displayed.
• After you pass through a tollgate on a
highway, the system operates based
on the first lane. If you enter one of
the other lanes, the system might not
properly decelerate.
• If you over speed, the system may not decelerate the vehicle in a curve.
• Deceleration by the system may not be
sufficient if the driver accelerates while the system is operating,
• Deceleration by the system may not be
sufficient due to road conditions such
as uneven road surfaces, narrow lanes, etc.
• If the road is controlled, due to
construction or holiday events, the
system might not work properly.

CAUTION
Navigation-based Cruise Control
system may not function properly in the
following situations: • The navigation is not working
properly.
• The navigation is not updated.
• The real-time GPS or map
information provided has errors.
• The navigation is overloaded by
performing functions such as route
search, video playback, voice
recognition, etc. are performing
simultaneously.
• GPS signals are blocked in areas such as a tunnel.
• The driver goes off course or the
route to the destination is changed
or canceled by resetting the
navigation.
• The vehicle enters a service station
or rest area.
• A section of the highway’s shape has changed.
• Android Auto or Car Play is operating.
• The navigation cannot detect the
current vehicle position (ex: elevated
roads including overpass adjacent to
general roads or nearby roads exist
in a parallel way).
• The navigation is being updated while driving.
• The navigation is being reset while driving.
• The road is slippery due to bad
weather such as rain or snow. Information

Lane Following Assist system helps
detect lane markers on the road
with a front view camera at the front
windshield, and assists the driver’s
steering to help keep the vehicle
between lanes.
WARNING
Lane Following Assist system is not a
substitute for safe driving practices,
but a convenience function. It is the
responsibility of the driver to always be
aware of the surroundings and steer the
vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Lane Following Assist system: • Do not turn the steering wheel
suddenly when the steering wheel is
being assisted by the system.
• LFA system helps the driver to keep
the vehicle in the center of the lane
by assisting the driver’s steering.
However, the driver should not solely
rely on the system but always pay
attention on the steering wheel to
stay in the lane.
• The operation of LFA system can
be canceled or not work properly
according to road condition and
surroundings. Always be cautious when driving.
• Do not disassemble LFA system
camera temporarily to tint the
window or attach any types of
coatings and accessories. If you
disassemble the camera and
assemble it again, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• When you replace the windshield
glass, LFA system camera or related
parts of the steering wheel, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• The system helps detect 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
S y s t e m ”.
• Do not remove or damage the related
parts of LFA system.
• You may not hear a warning sound
of LFA system if the audio volume is high.

•
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. This may
prevent LFA system from functioning
properly.
• Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while LFA system is
activated. If you continue to drive
with your hands off the steering
wheel after the “Keep hands on
steering wheel” warning message
appears, the system will turn off
automatically.
However, if the driver has their
hands on the steering wheel again,
the system will start controlling the
steering wheel.
• The steering wheel is not
continuously 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.
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.
- Green: Steering assist mode is ON
- White: 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.
OOSH069079L
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 weather
- In bad road conditions
- When the steering wheel needs
to be controlled by the driver
frequently
- A trailer 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.
ODN8069070L

Highway Driving Assist system helps
keep the vehicle between lanes, maintain
a distance with the vehicle ahead, and
automatically adjusts the vehicle speed
to the speed limit while driving on the
highway.
WARNING
• Highway Driving Assist system is
not a substitute for safe driving
practices, but a convenience
function. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always be aware of the
surroundings and drive safely.
• Highway Driving Assist system relies
entirely on the road information
provided by the navigation system.
It is the responsibility of the driver
to follow traffic laws and avoid
accidents.
• For your safety, please read the
owner's manual before using the
system.
Information
• Highway Driving Assist system is
available only on controlled access road of certain highways.  Controlled access road indicates
roads with limited entrances and exits that allow uninterrupted high
speed traffic flow. Only passenger
cars and motorcycles are allowed on
controlled access roads.
