Detecting sensor
The sensors are located inside the
rear bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for the proper operation of the sys-
tem.
Warning message
Blind Spot Detection disabled.
Radar blocked
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. - A trailer or carrier is installed. To
use the BSD system, remove the
trailer or carrier from your vehicle.
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.
Information

when vehicle speed is below 6 mph
(10 km/h) and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
Information
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
detecting range is approximately 1 - 65
ft (0.5 – 20 m). An approaching vehicle
will be detected if their vehicle speed is
within 2.5 - 22.5 mph (4 - 36 km/h).
Note that the detecting range may vary
under certain conditions. As always,

(Continued) - when the vehicle is not approach-ing your vehicle or
- when the other vehicle slows down.
• The system may not operate proper- ly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.
• If the sensing area near the rear bumper is blocked by either a wall
or barrier or by a parked vehicle,
the system sensing area may be
reduced. The system may not work prop-
erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has 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
OR when the road is wide, the
system may not 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 outer side
view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
- The outer side view mirror housingis damaged.
- The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
- The window is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
- The window is tinted.
NOTICE
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illumi-
nate 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. (Continued)
(Continued)
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 your surround-
ings while driving.
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 Blind
Spot Detection System (BSD)
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.WARNING

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 warning
light illuminates when the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off.
If the warning light remains ON when
the AEB is activated, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
The driver can select the initial warn- ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play.
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 dis-
tance between the vehicle ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
Even though, 'Early' is selected if the
front vehicle suddenly stops the ini-
tial warning activation time may not
seem fast.
- 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 pedes-
trian ahead before the initial warning
occurs. - Late :
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated later than normal. This set-
ting reduces the amount of distance
between the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead before the initial warning
occurs.
Select 'Late' when traffic is light and
when driving speed is slow.
Prerequisite for activation
The AEB system is on and ready
when AEB is selected on the LCD
display and when the following pre-
requisites are satisfied:
- The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is on.
- Driving speed exceeds approxi- mately 6mph (10km/h). (The AEB
is only activated within a certain
speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian or a vehicle in front, which may col-
lide with your vehicle. (The AEB
may not be activated or may sound
a warning alarm in accordance
with the driving situation or vehicle
condition.)

If the front bumper becomesdamaged 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. NEVER install any accessories
or stickers on the front wind-
shield, nor tint the front wind-
shield.
NEVER locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may cause a malfunc-
tion of the system.
Pay extreme caution to keep the camera out of water.
NEVER disassemble the camera assembly, nor apply any impact
on the camera assembly.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may offset
the system warning sounds.
Information
Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer when:
• The windshield glass is replaced.
• The sensor cover or sensor getsdamaged or replaced.
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 warning
message will appear on the LCD dis-
play. Remove any dirt, snow, or
debris and clean the radar sensor
cover before operating the AEB sys-
tem.
The AEB may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any substances are not detected
after turning ON the engine.

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 HYUNDAI dealer.
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.

(Continued)
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.
If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
The AEB system may activate
during braking and the vehi-
cle may stop suddenly shift-
ing loose objects toward the
passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured.
The AEB system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid a colli-
sion.
The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
