NOTICE
• The HAC does not operate when
the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
• The HAC activates even though the ESC is off but it does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned.
Good braking practices
After being parked, check to be
sure the parking brake is not
engaged and that the parking
brake indicator light is out before
driving away. Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your
vehicle will not stop as quickly if the
brakes are wet. Wet brakes may
cause the vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the
vehicle under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
Don't coast down hills with the vehicle out of gear. This is extreme-
ly hazardous. Keep the vehicle in
gear at all times, use the brakes to
slow down, then shift to a lower
gear so that engine braking will
help you maintain a safe speed.
Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Resting your foot on the brake
pedal while driving can be danger-
ous because it can result in the
brakes overheating and losing their
effectiveness. It also increases the
wear of the brake components.
WARNING
Whenever you leave or parkyour vehicle, always set the
parking brake as far as possi-
ble and fully engage the vehi-
cle's transaxle into the P (Park)
position. If the parking brake is
not fully engaged, the vehicle
may move inadvertently and
injure yourself and others.
All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the vehicle which can injure
occupants or pedestrians.

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. When the warning
light remains ON with the AEB acti-
vated, have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The driver can set the alarm speed
to Early, Normal, or Late by placing
the ignition switch to the ON position
and by selecting 'User Settings',
'Driving Assist', 'FCW (Forward
Collision Warning)', and 'Early /
Normal / Late'
When the 'Early' speed is selected,the warning alarm promptly
sounds upon getting the AEB sig-
nal. When it is too fast, select the
'Normal' speed.
The 'Late' speed should be select- ed only in uncrowded traffic at a
lower driving speed. Even though, you may feel that the
fast alarming speed is still slow,
when the vehicle in front abruptly
stops.

Sensor to detect the distance
from the vehicle in front
(front radar)
This sensor is designed to help
maintain a certain distance from the
vehicle in front. However, a smudged
sensor lens with foreign substances,
such as snow and rain, adversely
affects the sensing performance. It
may even temporarily cancel the
AEB. Always keep the sensor lens
clean.
Warning message and warninglight
When the sensor cover or the sensor
lens is obscured by foreign sub-
stances, such as snow or rain, the
AEB operation may temporarily stop.
In this case, a warning message will
appear to notify the driver. This is not
a malfunction with the AEB. To oper-
ate the AEB again, remove the for-
eign substances.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as a license plate bracket or
bumper sticker near the sensor
area. Do not replace the bumper
by yourself. Doing so may
adversely affect the sensing per-
formance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper area clean.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Also, do not spray highly
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the system may not
operate correctly even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only the genuine HYUNDAI sensor cover. Do not apply paint
on the sensor cover.

System malfunction
When the AEB is not working prop-
erly, the AEB warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
( ) will illuminate. In this occurs,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The AEB warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.
ODM046661L
WARNING
The AEB is only a supplemen-tal system for the driver's con-
venience. The driver still
maintains responsibility to
control the vehicle. Do not
solely depend on the AEB
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to lower the driving
speed.
The AEB may unnecessarily produce warning messages
and warning alarms. Due to
sensor limitations, the AEB
may not produce warning
messages or the warning
alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction with the AEB, the braking con-
trol does not operate upon
detecting a collision risk even
with other braking systems
normally operating.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The AEB operates only for thevehicle / pedestrian in front,
while driving forward. It does
not operate for any animals or
vehicles in the opposite direc-
tion.
The AEB can not recognize the side-profile of vehicles,
such as in the case of cross-
traffic at an intersection, or a
vehicle pulling out of a drive-
way.

Driving your vehicle
Limitation of the system
The AEB monitors driving conditions
through the radar and the camera
sensor. For any vehicle activity
occurring outside the sensor's range
and field of view, the AEB may not be
able to react. The driver should exer-
cise caution in the following situa-
tions, as the AEB operation may be
limited:
Recognizing vehicles
- The radar or the camera isobscured by foreign substances.
- In heavy rain or snow
- There is electromagnetic interfer- ence.
- The object in front deflects the radar beam due to extreme angles
or an extremely irregular surface.
- The vehicle in front has a narrow body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The sysem cannot identify objects in front due to driving into the at
dusk/dawn, bright reflections, or
darkness. - The camera cannot fit the full out-
line of a vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front has cargo extending beyond the back of the
vehicle or has a high ground clear-
ance.
- The vehicle in front does not turn ON the rear lights, does not have
rear lights, has asymmetric rear
lights, or has rear lights out of
angle.
- Outside brightness changes sud- dently, such as entering/exiting a
tunnel.
- Vehicle driving is erratic.
- The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited. - Driving on a curve
The AEB performance decreases
while driving on a curve. The AEB
may not recognize vehicles in front
that are in the same lane. It may
unnecessarily produce the warning
message and the warning alarm for
vehicles in a different lane, or it may
not produce the warning message
and the warning alarm at all.
While driving on a curve, exercise
caution, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal.

1.Cruise indicator
2.Cruise set indicator
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 25 mph (40
km/h).
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
ODM052024
WARNING
If the cruise control is left on,(CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster is illumi-
nated), the cruise control can
be switched on accidentally.
Keep the cruise control sys-
tem off (CRUISE indicator
light OFF) when the cruise
control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when driving on open
highways in good weather.
Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control sys-
tem.
Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise con-
trol system, which may
increase the vehicle speed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use the Cruise Controlwhen it may be unsafe to keep
the vehicle at a constant
speed:
- When driving in heavy trafficor when traffic conditions
make it difficult to drive at a
constant speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, or snow-covered roads
- When driving on hilly or windy roads
- When driving in windy areas
- When driving with limited view (possibly due to bad
weather such as fog, snow,
rain and sandstorm)
Do not use the Cruise Control when towing a trailer.
