Auto Defogging System (Only
for Automatic Climate Control
System, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibility of
fogging up the inside of the windshield by
automatically sensing the moisture of
inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is on.
Information
The auto defogging system may not oper-
ate normally, when the outside tempera-
ture is below 50 °F (-10 °C).When the Auto Defogging
System operates, the indica-
tor will illuminate.
If higher level of moisture are sensed in
the vehicle, the Auto Defogging System
will operate in the following order:
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 3 : Blo wing air toward the wind-
shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
If the air conditioning is off or recirculated
air position is manually selected while
Auto Defogging System is ON, the Auto
Defogging System Indicator will blink 3
times to signal that the manual operation
has been canceled.
To cancel or reset the
Auto Defogging System
Press the front windshield defroster but-
ton for 3 seconds when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. When the
Auto Defogging System is canceled,
ADS OFF symbol will blink 3 times and
the ADS OFF will be displayed on the cli-
mate control information screen.
When the Auto Defogging System is
reset, ADS OFF symbol will blink 6 times
without a signal.
Information
• When the air conditioning is turned on by Auto defogging system, if you try to
turn off the air conditioning, the indica-
tor will blink 3 times and the air condi-
tioning will not be turned off.
• For efficiency, do not select recirculated air position while Auto defogging system
is operating.
• When Auto defogging mode is selected, fan speed, temperature and intake mode
which is adjusted manually are canceled
for better defogging result.
Do not remove the sensor cover locat-
ed on the upper end of the driver side
windshield glass.
Damage to system parts could occur

The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD)
uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to
monitor and warn the driver of an
approaching vehicle in the driver's blind
spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of the
vehicle and provides information to the
driver with an audible alert and an indi-
cator on the outer side view mirrors.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed. Note that if
your vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist) The Lane Change Assist feature will
alert you when a vehicle is approach-
ing in an adjacent lane at a high rate
of speed. If the driver activates the
turn signal when the system detects
an oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) The Rear Cross Traffic Alert feature
monitors approaching cross traffic
from the left and right side of the vehi-
cle when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse below
about 6 mph (10 km/h). If oncoming
cross traffic is detected a warning
chime will sound.

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 vehi-
cle 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 system will
turn off automatically. When the BSD cancelled warning mes-
sage 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 inter-
fere with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed, the
BSD system should operate normally
after about 10 minutes of driving the
vehicle.
If the system still does not operate nor-
mally have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If there is a problem with the BSD sys-
tem, a warning message will appear and
the light on the switch will turn off. The
system will turn off automatically. Have
your vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
