The warning message may
appear late according to road
conditions. Therefore, always
have your hands on the steer-
ing wheel while driving.
If you hold the steering wheel
lightly, the system would gen-
erate hands off warning
because LKAS can treat the
situation as you do not grab
the wheel.
WARNING

5-66
The Driver Attention Alert system
utilizes the camera sensor on the
front windshield for its operation.
To keep the camera sensor in the
best condition, you should
observe the followings:
Do not disassemble cameratemporarily for tinted window or
attaching any types of coatings
and accessories. If you disas-
semble a camera and assemble
it again, take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked for a
calibration.
Do not locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may cause a mal-func-
tion of the Driver Attention Alert
(DAA) system.
Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out of water.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not arbitrarily disassemble
the camera assembly, nor apply
any impact on the camera
assembly.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may offset
the Driver Attention Alert sys-
tem warning sounds.
NOTICE
Driving your vehicle
The Driver Attention Alert
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It
is the responsibility of the
driver to always drive cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
It may suggest a break
according to the driver's driv-
ing pattern or habits even if
the driver doesn't feel
fatigued.
The driver, who feels fatigued,
should take a break, even
though there is no break sug-
gestion by the Driver
Attention Alert 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. If the warning light
remains ON when the AEB is acti-
vated, have the system checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the Driver LCD display.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include the follow-
ing:
FAST - When this condition is
selected, the initial
Forward Collision Warning
is activated earlier than
normal. This setting maxi-
mizes the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs. 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 warn-
ing occurs.
SLOW - 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.

AEB front radar sensor
In order for the AEB system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
radar sensor lens cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
lens may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the radar.
Warning message and warninglight
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
AEB system operation may stop
temporarily. If this occurs, a warning
message will appear on the LCD dis-
play. Remove any dirt, snow, or
debris and clean the radar sensor
lens cover before operating the AEB
system.

OLF057032N
OLF057599NThe 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
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

5-74
Do not apply foreign objectssuch as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may adversely
affect the sensing performance
of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor and lens cover clean and free of
dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressur-
ized water directly on the sensor
or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the AEB system may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, the AEB system
may not operate properly. Have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to repair or replace a dam-
aged sensor or sensor cover. Do
not apply paint to 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 case,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
The AEB warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.

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
- 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 road
at 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 crowdInformation
In some instances, the AEB system
may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any inter- ference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired
operation.

Do not use the Automatic
Emergency Braking system
when towing a vehicle.
Application of the AEB system
while towing may adversely
affect the safety of your vehi-
cle 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 AEB system is designed
to help 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 AEB system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.

Cruise Control operation
1. CRUISE indicator
2. SET indicator
The Cruise Control system allows
you to drive at speeds above 20 mph
(30 km/h) without depressing the
accelerator pedal.
Information
• During normal cruise control opera-tion, when the SET switch is activat-
ed or reactivated after applying the
brakes, the cruise control will ener-
gize after approximately 3 seconds.
This delay is normal.
• Before activating the cruise control function, the system will check to
verify that the brake switch is oper-
ating normally. Depress the brake
pedal at least once after turning ON
the ignition or starting the engine.

ally. Keep the Cruise Control
system off ("CRUISE" indica-
tor light OFF) when the Cruise
Control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the Cruise Control sys-
tem only when traveling on
open highways in good
weather.
Do not use the Cruise Control
when it may be unsafe to keep
the vehicle at a constant
speed:
- When driving in heavy traffic
or when traffic conditions
make it difficult to drive at a
constant speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, or snow-covered roads
(Continued)
(Continued)- When driving on hilly orwindy 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 cruise control
when towing a trailer.
