SNOW mode (if equipped)
SNOW mode helps thedriver to drive more effec-
tively on slippery roads
such as snowy or muddy
roads.
When the DRIVE MODE switch is pressed for more than one second,
the SNOW mode will operate
regardless of whichever drive
mode (NORMAL/ECO/SPORT) is
operating. If the switch is pressed
once more, the drive mode (NOR-
MAL/ECO/SPORT) that was oper-
ating previously will operate. The Electronic Control Suspension
(ECS) controls the vehicle suspen-
sion automatically to maximize driv-
ing comfort by taking into account
the driving conditions such as speed,
surface of the road, cornering, stop-
ping requirements and acceleration.

Suspension) malfunction indi-

If the ECS warning message comes
on, you may have a problem with the
ECS system. Have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

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 driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
NEVER drive too fast for the
road conditions or too quickly
when cornering.
Always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. AEB does not stop the
vehicle completely and does
not avoid collisions.
(Continued)
(Continued)
AEB operates according to
the distance from the vehicle
ahead, relative velocity, and
driver's operation of the brake
or accelerator pedal. Do not
drive dangerously to inten-
tionally operate the AEB.
ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The AEB is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
AEB Operation
Warning message
A warning message and chime will
sound when you need to use the
brake pedal or steering wheel due to
a sudden stop or lack of distance
with the vehicle ahead. The warning
messages will vary according to the
severity of the situation. Immediately
reduce your speed to prevent a colli-
sion.Brake operation
In a critical situation:
The brake assist system entersstandby mode to react promptly
when the driver operates the brake
pedal.
The vehicle automatically reduces speed according to the severity of
the situation.
- Rapidly reduces speed when vehi-cle speed is under 50 mph (80
km/h)
- Slowly reduces speed when vehi- cle speed is over 50 mph (80 km/h)
If the driver uses the brake pedal to reduce vehicle speed, the brake
assist system operates to increase
braking efficiency.
If the driver presses down hard on the accelerator pedal or sharply
turns the steering wheel, the brake
assist system is canceled.
Seat belt operation
The driver's and passenger's seat
belt may tighten if the system detects
that a vehicle or object is close.

Automatic emergency modechange
In a critical situation, to help avoid
collisions, the Automatic Emergency
Mode automatically controls the
Electronic Control Suspension
(ECS) and Electronic Stability
Control (ESC). When the critical situ-
ation is over, the Electronic Control
Suspension (ECS) and Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) returns to its
previous status.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• If the AEB is canceled from the
User Settings Mode or there is a
problem with the AEB system, the
Automatic Emergency Mode will
not work.
• If the ESC is off or there is a prob- lem with the ESC system, the
Automatic Emergency Mode will
not work.
• The ESC must be on for the Automatic Emergency Mode to
control ESC in collision situations.
To cancel the AEB
Go to the User Settings Mode
(Driving Assist) and undo the check
for AEB (Autonomous Emergency
Braking) on the LCD display (For
more details refer to "LCD
Display" in chapter 3.) . The warn-
ing operation and automatic braking
operation will not function.
To turn on the AEB, select AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking)
from the User Settings Mode
(Driving Assist) on the LCD display.
The warning operation and automat-
ic braking operation will function.
The Automatic Emergency
Mode is a supplemental system
to assist you and its effects may
differ according to road and
driving conditions. The vehicle
cannot automatically avoid a
collision. Do not solely rely on
the system and always pay
attention to prevent dangerous
situations from occurring.

✽
✽NOTICE
When the engine is started, AEB is
automatically turned on. If the sys-
tem is not needed, turn the AEB sys-
tem off from the User Settings Mode
on the LCD display.
Warning light and message
When the AEB system is turned
off, the AEB warning light turns on.
(Warning message does not come
on.) If the sensor or cover is dirty or
obscured with foreign matter such
as snow, the AEB warning light
and message comes on. In this
case, the AEB system may not
function temporarily, but it does not
indicate a malfunction of the AEB
system. Clean the sensor or cover
by using a soft cloth.
If there is a malfunction with the AEB system, the AEB warning light
and message will come on. Have
your vehicle checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
When the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) indicator or SCC (Smart
Cruise Control) message comes
on the AEB warning message may
come on but it does not indicate a
malfunction of the AEB system.

(Continued)- There is interference by elec-tromagnetic waves.
- There are strong radar reflections.
- Driving in a curve.
- Driving uphill or downhill.
- Driving in areas under con- struction.
- An object ahead is very nar- row such as motorcycles or
bicycles.
- A vehicle suddenly enters your lane.
- The camera cannot secure a clear view.
- The camera cannot catch the whole vehicle.

ing, installed on an unusual
place or installed unevenly.
- Coming in or out a tunnel, where the illumination inten-
sity is high.
Even if there is a malfunction
to the brake operation of the
AEB, when you depress the
brake pedal, the brake oper-
ates normally. AEB brake
operation does not operate in
certain hazardous situations.
The AEB is designed to func-
tion above approximately

approximately 110 mph (180
km/h).
The AEB does not detect:
- Persons or animals.
- Oncoming vehicles in theopposite lane or a vehicle in
an intersection.
- Stopped objects.
The AEB cannot detect
