Driving your vehicle
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include the follow-
ing:
Early
- When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated earlier than
normal. This setting maximizes the
amount of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian 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 nominal
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 nor-
mal. 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 following
prerequisites are satisfied.
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) is activated.
- To enable the system to detect pedestrians ahead, the vehicle
driving speed must be between 5 -
45 mph (8 - 70 km/h).
- To enable the system to detect a vehicle ahead, the vehicle driving
speed must be between 5 - 110
mph (8 - 180 km/h).
When traveling above 50 mph (80
km/h), the AEB system only initi-
ates partial braking. This is to pre-
vent 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,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance, or pedestrian detection. Also,
it controls the brakes in accordance
with the collision risk levels.
Forward Warning (1st warning)
This initial warning message
appears on the LCD display and the
head up display (if equipped) with a
warning chime.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Early,
Normal or Late initial warning time.
OHI056048L
Completely stop the vehicleon a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate/
deactivate the AEB system.
The AEB automatically acti- vates upon placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate the AEB by canceling
the system setting on the LCD
display.
The AEB automatically deacti- vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control)
or TCS (Traction Control
System). When the ESC is
canceled, the AEB cannot be
activated on the LCD display.

Collision Warning (2ndwarning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display and the head up dis-
play (if equipped) with a warning
chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
- If a vehicle is detected, your vehiclespeed may decelerate moderately.
Emergency braking (3rdwarning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display and the head up dis-
play (if equipped) with a warning
alarm. Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
- If the detected vehicle in front is
driving slower than 50 mph (80
km/h) your vehicle speed may
decelerate sharply to avoid a colli-
sion. If the detected vehicle in front
is driving faster than 50 mph (80
km/h), your vehicle speed may
decelerate moderately.
- If your vehicle drives slower than 45 mph (70 km/h) with a pedestri-
an in front, the driving speed may
abruptly decrease. When your
vehicle drives faster than 45 mph
(70 km/h) with a pedestrian in
front, the AEB does not operate.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the brakingsystem 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
depresses 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 AEB braking control is auto- matically canceled, when risk fac-
tors disappear.

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
Auto Emergency Braking disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
AEB system operation may stop tem-
porarily. If this occurs, a warning
message will appear on the LCD dis-
play.
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
The 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 the
AEB system.
WARNING
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.

Driving your vehicle
Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor lens cover
before operating the AEB system.
The AEB may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any substances are not detected
after turning ON the engine.
Do not apply foreign objects such 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
Dealer of Genesis Brand
Products.
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 Dealer of Genesis
Brand Products.
Use only genuine Genesis Brand parts to repair or replace
a damaged sensor or sensor
cover. Do not apply paint to the
sensor cover.
System Malfunction
Check AEB system
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 Dealer of Genesis
Brand Products.
The AEB warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light.

The AEB is only a supplemen-tal system for the driver's con-
venience. The driver should
hold 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 brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed.
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.
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.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The AEB system operatesonly 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 as
animals.
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 dead
end street.)
In these cases, you must
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.WARNING

Driving on a curve
The performance of the AEB system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
In certain instances on a curved
road, the AEB system may activate
prematurely.
Also, in certain instances the front
radar sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle
traveling on a curved road.
In these cases, the driver must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
The AEB system may recognize a
vehicle in the next lane when driving
on a curved road.In this case, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, while driving. If
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
Also, when necessary depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the sys-
tem from unnecessarily decelerating
your vehicle.
Driving on a slope
The performance of the AEB
decreases while driving upward or
downward on a slope, not recogniz-
ing the vehicle in front in the same
lane.
It may unnecessarily produce the
warning message and the warning
alarm, or it may not produce the
warning message and the warning
alarm at all.
When the AEB suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front while passing
over a slope, you may experience
sharp deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain distance.

Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the camera recognition system,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright
The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night)
It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians or a large crowd
