Driving your vehicle The system may not work prop-erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumperhas been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
The BSD indicator on the outer side
view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
- The outer side view mirror housingis damaged
- The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris
- The window is covered with dirt, snow, or debris
- The window is tinted
NOTICE5
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illumi-
nate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side bythe system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning lightand neglect to see the sur-
rounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with aBlind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA). Do not solely rely
on the system but check your
surrounding before changing
lanes or backing the vehicleup.
The system may not alert the driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-ings while driving. (Continued)
(Continued)
The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) are not a
substitute for proper and safe
driving practices. Always drive
safely and use caution when
changing lanes or backing up
your vehicle. The Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) may
not detect every object along-
side the vehicle.

Driving your vehicle
The Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB) system is designed to
detect and monitor the vehicle ahead
or detect a pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and camera
recognition to warn the driver that acollision is imminent, and if neces-
sary, apply emergency braking.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position and by selecting 'User
Settings', 'Driving Assist', and 'AEB
(Autonomous Braking System)'. The
AEB deactivates, when the drivercancels the system setting.

Take the following precautions
when using the Autonomous
Emergency Braking (AEB):
This system is only a supple- mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it replace
the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The
sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
NEVER drive too fast in accor-
dance with the road condi-tions or while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. AEB does not stop the
vehicle completely and is not
a collision avoidance system.

The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the User Settings
in the Driver LCD display. The options for the initial Forward Collision
Warning include the following:
EARLY - When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated earlier than normal. This setting maxi-
mizes the amount of distance between the vehicle or pedestri-
an ahead before the initial warning occurs.
NORMAL - When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated normally. This setting allows for a nom-
inal amount of distance between the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead before the initial warning occurs.
LATE - When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated later than normal. This setting reduces the
amount of distance between the vehicle or pedestrian ahead
before the initial warning occurs.

Prerequisite for activation
The AEB gets ready to be activated, when the AEB is selected on the
LCD display, and when the followingprerequisites are satisfied.
- The ESC is activated.
- To enable the system to detectpedestrians ahead, the vehicle
driving speed must be between 5 -40 mph (8 - 65 km/h).
- To enable the system to detect a vehicle ahead, the vehicle driving
speed must be between 5 - 110mph (8 - 180 km/h).
When traveling above 50 mph (80km/h), the AEB system only initiates
partial braking. This is to prevent
unintended full braking to stop in the
middle of the highway.
AEB warning message and
system control
The AEB produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels.
Also, it controls the brakes in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels.

The AEB automatically acti-
vates upon placing the igni-
tion switch to the ON position.
The driver can deactivate the
AEB by canceling the system
setting on the LCD display.
The AEB automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the
ESC. When the ESC is can-
celed, the AEB cannot be acti-
vated on the LCD display.
WARNING

Forward Warning (1stwarning)
This initial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a warning
chime.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the Driver LCD display.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include EARLY,
NORMAL, or LATE initial warning
time.
Collision Warning (2ndwarning)
This warning message appears onthe LCD display with a warning
chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system intervention occurs by the enginemanagement system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
- If the detected vehicle in front isdriving slower than 50 mph (80
km/h), your vehicle speed may
decelerate sharply to avoid a col-
lision. If the detected vehicle in
front is driving faster than 50 mph
(80 km/h), your vehicle speed
may decelerate moderately. - If your vehicle is traveling less
than 40 mph (65 km/h) and a
pedestrian is detected within the
Collision Warning (2nd warning)
stage, your vehicle speed may
decelerate sharply to avoid a col-lision.

Emergency braking (3rdwarning)
This warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning
alarm.
Additionally, automatic emergency braking of the vehicle is applied in
order to avoid a collision.
- If your vehicle is traveling lessthan 40 mph (65 km/h) and a
pedestrian is detected within the
Emergency Braking stage, auto-
matic emergency braking of the
vehicle is applied. In this condi-
tion, your vehicle speed will
decelerate sharply to avoid a col-lision. - When your vehicle drives slower
than 40 mph (65 km/h) with a
passer-by in front, the driving
speed may abruptly decrease.
When your vehicle drives faster
than 70 km/h with a pedestrian in
front, the AEB does not operate.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
The AEB provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the brake pedal,
or when the driver abruptly oper-
ates the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical- ly canceled, when risk factors dis-
appear.

The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there
is a warning message or alarm
from the AEB system.
CAUTION

AEB front radar sensor
In order for the AEB system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
radar sensor lens cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
lens may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the radar.
Warning message and warninglight
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
AEB system operation may stop
temporarily. If this occurs, a warningmessage will appear on the LCD dis-
play. Remove any dirt, snow, or
debris and clean the radar sensor
lens cover before operating the AEBsystem.

■ Type A■Type B
OTLE055049/OTLE055048The AEB system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle ahead, and the
driver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement
weather and road conditions
may affect the operation of theAEB system.
WARNING
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The drivershould hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING

5-65
Driving your vehicle
Do not apply foreign objectssuch as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may adversely
affect the sensing performance
of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor and lens cover clean and free of
dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressur-
ized water directly on the sensor
or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the AEB system may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, the AEB system
may not operate properly. Have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to repair or replace a dam-
aged sensor or sensor cover.
Do not apply paint to the sensor
cover.
System malfunction
When the AEB is not working prop-erly, the AEB warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
( ) will illuminate. In this case,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The AEB warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.

Driving your vehicle
The AEB is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver shouldhold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on the AEB
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brakepedal to reduce the drivingspeed.
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, the AEB system may
activate prematurely. This ini-
tial 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 AEB system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.(Continued)
(Continued)
If there is a malfunction with
the AEB system, the automat-
ic emergency braking is not
applied even though the brak-ing system is operating nor-
mally.
The AEB system operates only to detect vehicles or
pedestrians in front of the
vehicle. The AEB system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse. The AEB system is not designed to detect other
objects on the road such asanimals. The AEB system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching. The AEB system cannot
detect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a deadend street.)
(Continued)
(Continued)In these cases, you must
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary,depress the brake pedal toreduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.WARNING
