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.

Blind spot area
Closing at high speed
Always be aware of road condi-
tions while driving and be alert for
unexpected situations even
though the Blind Spot Detection
System is operating.
The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) is not a substitute for prop-
er and safe driving. Always drive
safely and use caution when
changing lanes or backing up the
vehicle. The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) may not detect
every object alongside the vehi-
cle.

Detecting sensor
The sensors are located inside the rear
bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean for
the proper operation of the system.

Second stage alert
A warning chime to alert the driver will activate when:
1. A vehicle has been detected in the blind spot area by the radar system (the
warning light will illuminate on the outer side view mirror) AND
2. The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being detected).
When this alert is activated, the warning light on the side view mirror will also blink.
If you turn off the turn signal indicator, the warning chime will be deactivated.OAD055031

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.

Driving your vehicle
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 necessary, apply emergency braking.System Setting and Activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by plac-
ing 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 deselects the system setting.The warning light illuminates
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 activated, have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. The driver can select the initial warning
activation time in the User Settings in the
LCD display. The options for the initial
Forward Collision Warning include the
following:
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 ahead before the ini-
tial warning occurs.

Take the following precautions
when using the Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB):
This system is only a supplemen-
tal 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 conditions or
while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden sit-
uations from occurring. AEB
does not stop the vehicle com-
pletely and is not a collision
avoidance system.

Driving your vehicle
AEB Front Radar Sensor
In order for the AEB system to operate
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
When the sensor 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 display. Remove any dirt,
snow, or debris and clean the radar sen-
sor cover before operating the AEB sys-
tem.
The AEB may not properly operate in an
area (e.g. open terrain), where any sub-
stances are not detected after turning
ON the engine. Do not apply foreign objects such
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 pressurized
water directly on the sensor or sen-
sor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnecessary force on the radar sensor or sensor
cover. If the sensor is forcibly
moved out of proper alignment, the
AEB system may not operate cor-
rectly. In this case, a warning mes-
sage may not be displayed. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the front bumper becomes dam- aged 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 damaged sensor
or sensor cover. Do not apply paint
to the sensor cover.
