Driving your vehicle
Information
• The last selected setting (ON orOFF) of the RCTA is remained in
the system.
• The system will activate when vehi- cle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
• The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) detecting range is approxi-
mately 1 ft ~ 65 ft (0.5 m ~ 20 m) in
the direction of both lateral sides of
the vehicle.
An approaching vehicle will be
detected if their vehicle speed is
within 2.5 ~ 22.5 mph (4 km/h ~ 36
km/h).
Note that the detecting range may
vary under certain conditions. As
always, use caution and pay close
attention to your surroundings
when backing up your vehicle.
Warning type
If the vehicle detected by the sensors
approaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound, the warning
light on the outer side view mirror will
blink and a message will appear on
the LCD display.
Information
• The warning chime will turn offwhen:
- The detected vehicle moves out ofthe sensing area or
- when the vehicle is right behind your vehicle or
- 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.
NOTICE
With the system activated, 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.
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.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
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.

Driving your vehicle
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 appear
when :
- 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 anoth-
er vehicle 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 sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
When the BSD canceled 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.

Check BSD system
If there is a problem with the BSD
system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch will
turn off. The system will turn off auto-
matically. Have your vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er.

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 Engine Start/Stop button
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 →
AEB (Auton. Emergency Braking)'
The AEB deactivates, when the driv-
er deselects the system setting.

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
■ Type A■ Type B
OAE056095L/OAE056022L

5-44
Driving your vehicleThe 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 (Traction & Stability control
disabled).
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 display.
Go to the 'User Settings →
Driving
Assist →FCW (Fwd. 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 dis-
tance 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 normal. This
setting reduces the amount of dis-
tance 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 StabilityControl) is on.
- Driving speed exceeds approxi- mately 6 mph (10 km/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.)
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 Engine Start/
Stop button is in the ON posi-
tion. The driver can deactivate
the AEB by canceling the sys-
tem setting on the LCD dis-
play.
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. The AEB
warning light will illuminate
which is normal.
