2015 Hyundai Azera Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle
54 5
A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized
correctly by the sensor if any of following
occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing upwards
due to overloading in the trunk
- While making turns by steering
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on
curves
Apply the brakes or accelerator pedal if
necessary.
• When vehicles are at a standstill and
the vehicle in front of you changes to
the next lane, be careful when your
vehicle starts to move because it may
not recognize the stopped vehicle in
front of you.• Always look out for pedestrians when
your vehicle is maintaining a distance
with the vehicle ahead.

CAUTION
The smart cruise control system
may not operate temporarily due to
electrical interference.
• Always be cautious for vehicles with
higher height or vehicles carrying
loads that sticks out to the back of the
vehicle.
OHG050077
WARNING
• The smart cruise control system
cannot guarantee the stop for
every emergency situation.
If an emergency stop is neces-
sary, you must apply the brakes.
• Keep a safe distance according
to road conditions and vehicle
speed. If the vehicle to vehicle
distance is too close during a
high-speed driving, a serious col-
lision may result.
• The smart cruise control system
cannot recognize a stopped vehi-
cle, pedestrians or an oncoming
vehicle. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.
• When other vehicles are chang-
ing lanes in front of you frequent-
ly, the smart cruise control sys-
tem may not operate appropriate-
ly. Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.

• The smart cruise control system
is not a substitute for safe driving
practices but a convenience
function only. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always
check the speed and the distance
to the vehicle ahead.
• Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance.
• Always maintain sufficient brak-
ing distance and decelerate your
vehicle by applying the brakes if
necessary.
• As the smart cruise control sys-
tem may not recognize complex
driving situations, always pay
attention to driving conditions
and control your vehicle speed.
• For safe operation, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this
manual before use.

The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD)
uses a radar sensor to alert the driver.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides an indication to the
driver if it detects an object approaching
from these areas.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The warning range depends on your
vehicle speed. However, if your vehi-
cle is much faster than the other vehi-
cle, the system will not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
If the system detects a vehicle
approaching you at high speed, the
system will warn you.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
If the sensor detects an approaching
vehicle from the left and right side as
your vehicle moves rearward, the sys-
tem will warn you.

WARNING
• Always check the road condition
while driving for unexpected situ-
ations even though the Blind
Spot Detection System (BSD) is
operating.
(Continued)
WARNING
As the Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
system is a supplemental device for
your safe driving, it may be danger-
ous to rely on only the BSD infor-
mation when changing the lane.
Always pay attention to drive safely.
(Continued)
• The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) is a supplemental system
to assist you. Do not solely rely
on the system and always pay
attention and drive safely.
• The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) is not a substitute for prop-
er and safe driving. Always drive
safely and use caution when
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up. The Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) may not
detect every object alongside the
vehicle.

WARNING
• The warning light on the outside
rearview mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detected at
the rear side by the system.
To avoid accidents, do not focus
only on the warning light and
neglect to see the surrounding of
the vehicle.
• Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a Blind
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 vehicle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check the surroundings
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 prac-
tices. Always drive safely and use
caution when changing lanes or
backing the vehicles up. The
Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.CAUTION
• The system may not work proper-
ly if the bumper has been
replaced or if repair work has
been done near the sensor.
• The detection area differs accord-
ing to the roads width. If the road
is narrow the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane. In
addition, if the road is very wide
the system may not detect other
vehicles.
• The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
