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 outside
rearview mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
The outside rearview mirror hous-ing is damaged.
The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
The window is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
The window is tinted.
NOTICE
(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 back-
ing up your vehicle. The BlindSpot Detection System (BSD)
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.
The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side bythe system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warninglight and neglect to see the
surrounding 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
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-ings while driving. (Continued)

Driving your vehicle
The Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system is designed to detect
and monitor the vehicle ahead or
detect a pedestrian (if equipped) in the
roadway through radar signals and
camera recognition to warn the driverthat a collision is imminent, and if nec-
essary, apply emergency braking.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by
placing the POWER button to the ON
position and by selecting: 'User Settings Driving Assist
Autonomous Emergency Braking'
The AEB deactivates, when the driv- er cancels 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 extremecare 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 alltimes.
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 warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the AEB
system. The driver can
monitor the AEB ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. Also, the warninglight illuminates when the ESC(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off (Traction & Stability control
disabled.) If the warning lightremains ON when the AEB is acti-
vated, we recommend you to have
the system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time on the LCD display. Go to the 'User Settings
Driving
Assist Forward Collision Warning
Late/Normal/Early'.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
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 dis-
tance 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. Thissetting reduces the amount of dis-
tance 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 (Electronic StabilityControl) is activated.
- To enable the system to detect pedestrians ahead, the vehicle
driving speed must be between 8km/h – 70 km/h (5 mph – 45 mph).
- To enable the system to detect a vehicle ahead, the vehicle driving
speed must be between 8 km/h –180 km/h (5 mph – 110 mph).
When traveling above 80 km/h (50mph), 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,
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.
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.Completely stop the vehicle
on 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
POWER button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate the AEB by cancelingthe system setting on the LCD
display.
The AEB automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).When the ESC is canceled,
the AEB cannot be activated
on the LCD display.

on the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Collision Warning (2ndwarning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime.- If a vehicle is detected, your vehi-cle speed may decelerate moder-
ately.
- If your vehicle is traveling less than 70 km/h (45 mph) and a
pedestrian is detected within the
Collision Warning (2 nd
warning)
stage, your vehicle speed may
decelerate moderately. When
your vehicle drives faster than 70
km/h (45 mph) with a pedestrianin front, the AEB does not oper-
ate.
Emergency braking
(3rdwarning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime.
- If the detected vehicle in front isdriving slower than 80 km/h (50
mph) your vehicle speed may
decelerate sharply to avoid a col-
lision. If the detected vehicle in
front is driving faster than 80
km/h (50 mph), your vehicle
speed may decelerate moderate-
ly.

Driving your vehicle
- If your vehicle drives slower than70 km/h (45 mph) with a pedestri-
an in front, the driving speed may
abruptly decrease. When your
vehicle drives faster than 70 km/h
(45 mph) 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
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The AEB brake control is automat- ically canceled, when risk factors
disappear. 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
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The drivershould hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.

AEB front radar sensor
In order for the AEB system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
radar sensor cover is clean and free
of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt, snow,
or foreign substances on the lens
may adversely affect the sensing
performance of the radar.
Warning message and warninglight
Auto Emergency Braking disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor cover is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, the AEB
system operation may stop tem-
porarily. If this occurs, a warningmessage will appear on the LCD dis-
play.
Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor 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 vehicle.
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 theAEB system.
