Detecting radar
The radars are located inside of the
rear bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for the system to work properly.
Warning message
This warning message may appearwhen :
- One or both of the sensors on therear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object
- Driving in rural areas where the BSD sensor does not detect
another vehicle for an extended
period of time
- When there is inclement weather such as heavy snow or rain
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BSD switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically. When the BSD cancelled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the BSD system should operate nor-
mally after about 10 minutes of driv-
ing the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

approaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound, the warning
light on the outside rearview mirror
will blink and a message will appear
on the LCD display.
Information
• If the detected vehicle is out of thesensing range of your vehicle, move
the vehicle away from the detected
object slowly; the warning will be
canceled.
• The system may not operate proper- ly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surrounding.

vehicles, the system sensing ability
may be reduced.
i
The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate 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 surround-
ings while driving.

Driving your vehicleThe 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. If the warning light
remains ON when the AEB is acti-
vated, have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the Driver LCD display.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include the follow-
ing:
FAST - When this condition is
selected, the initial
Forward Collision Warning
is activated earlier than
normal. This setting maxi-
mizes the amount of dis-
tance 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 warn-
ing occurs.
SLOW - 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.

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
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
AEB system operation may stop
temporarily. If this occurs, a warning
message will appear on the LCD dis-
play. Remove any dirt, snow, or
debris and clean the radar sensor
lens cover before operating the AEB
system.
OLF054032N
OLF056453NThe 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 braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.

Do not apply foreign objectssuch 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
HYUNDAI dealer. 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 HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to repair or replace a dam-
aged sensor or sensor cover. Do
not apply paint to the sensor
cover.
System malfunction
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 HYUNDAI dealer.
The AEB warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.
