The battery sensor deactiva- tion
[A] : Battery sensor
The battery sensor is deactivated,
when the battery is disconnected
from the negative pole for mainte-
nance purpose.
In this case, the ISG system is limit-
edly operated due to the battery sen-
sor deactivation. Thus, the driver
needs to take the following proce-
dures to reactivate the battery sen-
sor after disconnecting the battery.
Prerequisites to reactivate thebattery sensor
Keep the engine in the OFF status
for 4 hours, and attempt to restart the
engine 3 to 4 times for the battery-
sensor reactivation.
Pay extreme caution not to connect
any accessories (i.e. navigation and
black box) to the vehicle with the
engine in the OFF status. If not, the
battery sensor may not be reactivat-ed.
Information
The ISG system may not operate in
the following situations.
- There is a malfunction with the IGS system.
- The battery is weak.
- The brake vacuum pressure is low.
In those cases, we recommend that
you have the ISG system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Use only the genuine HYUNDAI
ISG battery for replacement. If
not, the ISG system may not nor-
mally operate.
Do not recharge the ISG battery with a general battery charger. If
not, it may damage or explode
the ISG battery.
Do not remove the battery cap. If not, the battery electrolyte,
which is harmful to the human
body, may leak out.

ment cluster, the drive mode will be in
COMFORT mode and may not
change to SPORT mode. The mode changes, as below,
whenever the DRIVE MODE buttonis pressed.
When COMFORT mode is selected,

The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the dual clutch transmission may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated, to improve fuel efficiency.

[A] : Blind spot area
[B] : Closing at high speed
The Blind-spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system 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 indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors.(1) BCW : Blind spot area
The BCW 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) BCW : Closing at high speed
The BCW-Closing at high speed
feature will alert you when a vehi-cle is approaching in an adjacent
lane at a high rate of speed. If the
driver activates the turn signalwhen the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert. Distance
from the approaching vehicle can
be seen differently according to
the relative speed. (3) RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning)
The RCCW feature monitors
approaching cross traffic from the
left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse below
about 10 km/h (6 mph). If oncom-
ing cross traffic is detected a
warning chime will sound. Distance from the approaching
vehicle can be seen differently
according to the relative speed.
