RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
Operating conditions
To operate:
Go to the User Settings Mode
(Driving Assist) and select RCTA
(Rear Cross Traffic Alert) on the LCD
display (For more details, refer to
"LCD Display" in chapter 3.) . The
system will turn on and standby to
activate. The system will activate
when vehicle speed is below 6 mph
(10 km/h) with the shift lever in R
(Reverse). The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic
Alert) detecting range is about 1
feet (0.5 m) ~ 65 feet (20 m). A
vehicle will be detected if the vehi-
cle speed is 2.5 mph (4 km/h) ~ 22
mph (36 km/h) within the detecting
range. However, the detecting
range may change under different
conditions. Always pay attention
to the surroundings.

Warning type
If the vehicle detected by the radars
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.
• If your vehicle’s left or right side bumper is blinded by barrier or
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.
(Continued)
(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 the vehicles up. The Blind
Spot Detection System (BSD)
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.

The system may not work prop-erly if the bumper has been
replaced or if repair work has
been done near the radar.
The detection area differs according to the roads width. If
the road is narrow the system
may detect other vehicles in the
next lane. In addition, if the road
is very wide the system may not
detect other vehicles.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
Outside rearview mirror may not
alert the driver when:
- The outside rearview mirror hous-ing is damaged or covered with
debris.
- The window is covered with debris.
- The windows are severely tinted.
DRIVER'S ATTENTION
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations for the system
may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
- Curved roads, tollgates, etc.
- The surrounding of the radar is polluted with rain, snow, mud,
etc
- The rear bumper near the radar is covered or hidden with a for-
eign matter such as a sticker,
bumper guard, bicycle stand etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged or the radar is out of place.
- The height of the vehicle is altered such as when the trunk is
loaded with heavy objects, or
there is low tire pressure etc.
- Bad weather such as heavy rain or snow.
- A fixed object is near such as a guardrail, tunnel, human and ani-
mal etc.

The Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system is designed to detect
and monitor the vehicle ahead or
detect a pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if neces-
sary, apply emergency braking.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position and by selecting 'User
Settings', 'Driving Assist', and 'AEB
(Automatic Braking System)'. The
AEB deactivates, when the driver
cancels the system setting.

Take the following precautions
when using the Automatic
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 driver. The
sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
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.
WARNING

5-82
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.

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 is activated.
- To enable the system to detectpedestrians ahead, the vehicle
driving speed must be between 5 -
40 mph (8 - 65 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 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.
Also, it controls the brakes in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels.The AEB automatically acti-
vates upon placing the igni-
tion switch to the ON position.
The driver can deactivate the
AEB by canceling the system
setting on the LCD display.
The AEB automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the
ESC. When the ESC is can-
celed, the AEB cannot be acti-
vated on the LCD display.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
Forward Warning (1stwarning)
This initial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a warning
chime.
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 FAST,
NORMAL, or SLOW initial warning
time.
Collision Warning (2ndwarning)
This warning message appears onthe LCD display with a warning
chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
- If the detected vehicle in front isdriving slower than 50 mph (80
km/h), your vehicle speed may
decelerate sharply to avoid a col-
lision. If the detected vehicle in
front is driving faster than 50 mph
(80 km/h), your vehicle speed
may decelerate moderately. - If your vehicle is traveling less
than 40 mph (65 km/h) and a
pedestrian is detected within the
Collision Warning (2
ndwarning)
stage, your vehicle speed may
decelerate sharply to avoid a col-
lision.
