vehicle change lanes. It is the
driver's responsibility to
always check the road condi-
tions.
• Do not turn the steering wheel
suddenly, when the LDWS
warns you that your vehicle is
leaving the lane.
• If the sensor can not detect
the lane or if the vehicle speed
does not exceed 60km/h, the
LDWS won't warn you even
though vehicle leaves the
lane.
• If your vehicle has window tint
or other types of coating on
the front windshield, the
LDWS may not work properly.
• Do not let water or any kind of
liquid come in contact with
the LDWS sensor.

AVSM detects the distance from the
vehicle ahead with the sensor, to
warn you before collision and protect
you in certain hazardous situations
by using warning message, warning
sound and seat belt vibration (if
equipped).
• If the AVSM senses the object
ahead too near the vehicle and if
driver's operating of the brake
pedal or the steering wheel should
be needed, the warning light illumi-
nates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
• If the AVSM senses more danger-
ous, the warning sound also oper-
ates and the seat belt vibrates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
ADVANCED VEHICLE SAFETY MANAGEMENT (AVSM) (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Always check the road condi-
tions to prevent danger even if
the warning light does not illu-
minate, the warning sound does
not operate or the seat belt does
not vibrate.

If the indicator does not come on,
or continuously remains on after
coming on for about 3 seconds
when you turn the engine
start/stop button to the ON posi-
tion, or if the indicator comes on
while driving, the AVSM is not
working properly. We recommend

nate when the ESC indicator or
SCC indicator comes on, but it
does not indicate malfunction of

vehicle speed. However, if your vehi-
cle speed is speedy about 10km/h
than other vehicle, the warning is not
operated.

When the vehicle is approaching to
your vehicle at high speed, the warn-
ing is operated.
➂RCTA(Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves backward,
the sensor detects the approaching
vehicles to the left or right side direc-
tion and warning is operated.
