Limitations of the System
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations may not work prop-
erly when :
It is difficult to distinguish the lanemarker from road when the lane
marker is covered with dust.
It is difficult to distinguish the color of the lane marker from road.
There is something looks like a lane marker.
The lane marker is indistinct or damaged.
The number of lanes increases/ decreases or the lane lines are
crossing (Driving through a toll
plaza/toll gate, merged/divided
lane).
There are more than two lane markers.
The lane marker is very thick or thin.
The lane marker is not visible due to snow, rain, stain, a puddle or
other factors. A shadow is on the lane marker
because of a median strip,
guardrail, noise barriers and oth-
ers.
When the lane markers are compli- cated or a structure substitutes for
the lines such as a construction
area.
There are crosswalk signs or other symbols on the road.
The lane marker in a tunnel is cov- ered with dirt or oil.
The brightness of outside changes suddenly when entering or exiting
a tunnel.
The headlamps are not on at night or in a tunnel, or light level is low.
There is a boundary structure in the roadway.
The light of street, sun, oncoming vehicle and so on reflects from the
water on the road.
When light shines brightly in the reverse direction you drive.
The lane suddenly disappears such as at the intersection. The distance from the vehicle
ahead is very short or the vehicle
ahead drives hiding the lane line.
You drive on a steep grade or a sharp curve.
The vehicle vibrates heavily.
The temperature near inside mirror is very high due to direct sun light.
The lens or windshield is covered by strange materials.
The sensor cannot detect the lane because of fog, heavy rain or snow.
The windshield is fogged by humid air in the vehicle.

Resetting the system
The last break time is set to 00:00and the driver's attention level is
set to 5 (very attentive) when the
driver resets the Driver Attention
Alert system.
The Driver Attention Alert system resets in the following situations.
- The engine is turned OFF.
- The driver unfastens the seat beltand then opens the driver’s door.
- Stop lasting more than 10 min- utes.
The Driver attention Alert system
operates again, when the driver
restarts driving.
System standby
The Driver Attention Alert system
enters the ready status and displays
the 'Standby' screen in the following
situations.
- The camera sensor keeps failing to detect the lanes.
- Driving speed remains under 40 mph (60 km/h) or over 110 mph
(180 km/h).
System malfunction
When the "Check Driver Attention
Alert" warning message appears, the
system is not working properly. In
this case, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.5

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

The Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system is designed to help
detect and monitor the vehicle ahead
or help detect a pedestrian in the
roadway through radar signals and
camera recognition to warn the driv-
er that a collision is imminent, and if
necessary, apply emergency brak-
ing.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position and by selecting 'User
Settings', 'Driving Assist', and 'AEB
(Automatic Braking System)'. The
AEB deactivates, when the driver
cancels the system setting.

Take the following precautions
when using the Automatic
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 driver. The
sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors 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

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.

The AEB is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on the AEB
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed.
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, the AEB system may
activate prematurely. This ini-
tial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a
warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle or pedestri-
an ahead. The AEB system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.(Continued)
(Continued)
If there is a malfunction with
the AEB system, the automat-
ic emergency braking is not
applied even though the brak-
ing system is operating nor-
mally.
The AEB system operates
only to help detect vehicles or
pedestrians in front of the
vehicle.
The AEB system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
The AEB system is not
designed to detect other
objects on the road such as
animals.
The AEB system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
The AEB system cannot
detect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a dead
end street.)
(Continued)
(Continued)In these cases, you must
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.WARNING

Limitations of the system
The Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system is designed to help
monitor the vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian 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.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the AEB sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
AEB operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
- The radar sensor or camera isblocked with a foreign object or
debris
- Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
- There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
- There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
- The vehicle in front is too small to be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
- The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
- The driver's field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view) - The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights properly turned ON
- The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
- The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically
