Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian on the roadway through
radar signals and camera recogni-
tion to warn the driver that a collision
is imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The radar sensor or camera isblocked with a foreign object or
debris
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle drives through a con- struction area, on an unpaved
road, or above metal materials,
such as a railway
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The camera’s field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
The camera does not recognize the entire vehicle in front.
The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
The vehicle in front does not have rear lights or the rear lights are not
turned ON or the rear lights are
located unusually.
The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel The vehicle drives inside a build-
ing, such as a basement parkinglot
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
You are on a roundabout and the vehicle in front circles
The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
The camera is damaged.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle isgoing through a tunnel.
Light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-dle in the road
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
The shadow is on the road by a median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll- gate.

The windshield glass is fogged up;a clear view of the road is obstruct- ed
The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited
The rear part of the vehicle in front is not normally visible (for example,
the vehicle is spinning or the vehi-
cle is overturned)
There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically
The vehicle in front is moving verti- cally to the driving direction
The vehicle in front is stopped ver- tically
The vehicle in front is driving towards your vehicle or reversing - Driving on a curve
The performance of the FCA system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
This may cause the alarm or braking
to activate or not activate improperly.
Also, in certain instances the front
radar sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle
traveling on a curved road.
In these cases, the driver must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance. The FCA system may recognize a
vehicle in the next lane when driving
on a curved road.
In this case, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, while driving. If
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
Also, when necessary depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the sys-
tem from unnecessarily decelerating
your vehicle.
Check the road conditions for safe
operation of the FCA system.

Driving your vehicle
- Driving on a slope
The performance of the FCA decreas-
es while driving upward or downward
on a slope, not recognizing the vehi-
cle in front in the same lane. It may
unnecessarily produce the warning
message and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarm at all.
When the FCA suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front while passing
over a slope, you may experience
sharp deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain distance.- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the FCA sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

- Detecting the vehicle in front of you
If the vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the cab,
or when the vehicle in front of you
has higher ground clearance, addi-tional special attention is required.
The FCA system may not be able to
detect the cargo extending from the
vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance
from the rearmost object, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the camera recognition system,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright
The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-tion system
If the bicycle material is not reflect- ed well on the radar
When the pedestrian or cyclist suddenly interrupts in front of the
vehicle
When there is any other electro- magnetic interference
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural roadat night) It is difficult to detect and distin-
guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians or a large crowd
There is an item similar to a per- son's body structure
The pedestrian is small
The pedestrian has impaired mobility
The sensor recognition is limited
The radar sensor or camera is blocked with a foreign object or
debris
The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle isgoing through a tunnel
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera

Do not use the Forward
Collision Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
The FCA system is designed to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
Never try to test the operation
of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury ordeath.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem helps detect lane markers on the
road with a front view camera at the
front windshield, and assists the dri-
ver's steering to help keep the vehi-
cle between lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-ing, while applying a counter-steer-
ing torque, to try to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving out of its lane.

OAD058023 The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It isthe responsibility of the driver
to always be aware of the sur-
rounding and steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane KeepingAssist (LKA) system:
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when thesteering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKA system helps to prevent
the driver from moving out of
the lane unintentionally byassisting the driver's steering.
However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention on the
steering wheel to stay in the
lane.
WARNING
The operation of the LKA sys- tem can be canceled or not
work properly according to
road condition and surround-
ings. Always be cautiouswhen driving.
Do not disassemble the LKA
system camera temporarily to
tint the window or attach anytypes of coatings and acces-
sories. If you disassemble the
camera and assemble it again,
take your vehicle to an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked forcalibration.
When you replace the wind-
shield glass, LKA system
camera or related parts of the
steering wheel, take your
vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked for calibra-tion.

LKA System Operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA sys- tem:
With the ignition switch in the ON position, press the LKA system
switch located on the instrumentpanel on the left hand side of the
steering wheel. The indicator in the
cluster display will initially illuminate
white. This indicates the LKA system
is in the READY but NOT ENABLED
state.
If you press the LKA button again,
the indicator on the switch and clus-
ter display will go off.
Always have your hands on the steering wheel while the LKA
system is activated. Also, when
Active LKA is selected from the
User Settings mode and if you
continue to drive with yourhands off the steering wheel
after the "Keep hands on steer-
ing wheel" warning message
appears, the system will stop
controlling the steering wheel.
However, if the driver has theirhands on the steering wheel
again, the system will start con-
trolling the steering wheel.
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
speed when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be able to be
controlled by the system. The
driver must always follow thespeed limit when using thesystem.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly. When you tow a trail-
er, make sure that you turn offthe LKA system.
The system helps detect lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of the system".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
You may not hear a warning sound of LKA system because
of excessive audio sound.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) system warning maynot sound.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-tion if the sunlight is reflected.

Note that the vehicle
speed must be at least
approximately 64 km/h(40 mph) to ENABLE the
LKA system. The indicator in the
cluster display will illuminate green. The color of indicator will change depending on the condition of LKAsystem.
- White : Sensor does not detect
lane markers or vehiclespeed is under 64 km/h (40mph).
- Green : Sensor detects lane mark- ers and the system is able
to control vehicle steering.
Information
If the indicator (white) is activated
from the previous ignition cycle, the
system will turn ON without any addi-
tional control. If you press the LKA
switch again, the indicator on the clus-
ter goes off.LKA system activation

OAD058127N The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system is a system to help pre-
vent the driver from leaving the
lane. However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always check the road con-ditions when driving.
