The Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB) system is designed to
help detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian (if
equipped) in the roadway through
radar signals and camera recogni-
tion 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
placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting:
Cluster type A
'User Settings →Driving Assist →
Forward Collision Warning →
Autonomous Emergency Braking'
Cluster type B
'User Settings →Driving Assist →
Autonomous Emergency Braking'
The AEB deactivates, when the
driver cancels the system setting.
AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) (IF EQUIPPED)
Take the following precautions
when using the Autonomous
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 driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors 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

Driving your vehicle
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 acti-
vated, we recommend you to have
the system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• The driver can select the initial
warning activation time on the LCD
display.
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 distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs.Even though, 'Early' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial 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 distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs.
- Late:
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.
Select 'Late' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow.

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 (Electronic Stability
Control) is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 10 km/h (6
mph). (The AEB is only activated
within a certain speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian or
a vehicle in front, which may collide
with your vehicle. (The AEB may
not be activated or may sound a
warning alarm in accordance with
the driving situation or vehicle con-
dition.)
AEB warning message and
system control
The AEB produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance, or pedestrian detection. Also,
it controls the brakes in accordance
with the collision risk levels.•Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate
/deactivate the AEB system.
•The AEB automatically acti-
vates when the ignition switch
is in the ON position. The driv-
er can deactivate the AEB by
canceling the system setting
on the LCD display.
•If you cancel the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control)
when the AEB system is
turned on the AEB automati-
cally deactivates and the AEB
warning light illuminates.
When the ESC is cancelled
the AEB cannot be activated
on the LCD display.

Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver's depressing the brake pedal.
• The AEB provides additional brak-
ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatical-
ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
• The AEB brake control is automat-
ically cancelled, when risk factors
disappear.The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there
is a warning message or alarm
from the AEB system.CAUTION
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
The AEB system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle ahead, and the
driver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement
weather and road conditions
may affect the operation of the
AEB system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
