Driving your vehicle
ESC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going. ESC applies braking pressure
to any one of the vehicle's brakes
and intervenes in the electric vehicle
control system to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Always
adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the POWER button is in the
ON position, the ESC and the ESC
OFF indicator lights illuminate for
approximately three seconds. After
both lights go off, the ESC is
enabled.
When operating
When the ESC is in opera-
tion, the ESC indicator light
blinks:
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ESC is
active.
cle may not respond to the acceler-
ator as it does under routine condi-
tions.
when the ESC activates, the Cruise
Control automatically disengages.
The Cruise Control can be reen-
gaged when the road conditions
allow. See "Cruise Control System"
later in this chapter. (if equipped)
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. The ESC system will
not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns,
abrupt manoeuvres, and
hydroplaning on wet surfaces
can result in severe accidents.

Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system. It
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tyres can suddenly become uneven.
VSM operation
VSM ON condition
The VSM operates when:
The Electronic Stability Control(ESC) is on.
Vehicle speed is approximately above 9 mph (15 km/h) on curve
roads.
Vehicle speed is approximately above 12 mph (20 km/h) when the
vehicle is braking on rough roads.
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may activate the
ESC, you may hear sounds from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sen-
sation in the brake pedal. This is nor-
mal and it means your VSM is active.
Information
The VSM does not operate when:
• Driving on a banked road such as agradient or incline.
• Driving in reverse.
• The ESC OFF indicator light is on.
• The EPS (Electric power steering)
warning light ( ) is on or blinks.
i
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The VSM is not a substi-
tute for safe driving practices.
Never drive too fast for the
road conditions. The VSM sys-
tem will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe
accidents.

Prerequisite for activation
The FCA gets ready to be activated,
when the FCA is selected on the
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied.
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) is activated.
- Vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10 km/h). (The FCA is only activated
within a certain speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian or a vehicle in front, which may collide
with your vehicle. (The FCA may
not be activated or may sound a
warning alarm in accordance with
the driving situation or vehicle con-
dition.)
FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA 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. The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Early,
Normal or Late initial warning time.
Collision Warning (1stwarning)
- Yellow
This initial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate
/deactivate the FCA system.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
The FCA automatically acti-
vates when the POWER but-
ton is in the ON position. The
driver can deactivate the FCA
by canceling the system set-
ting on the LCD display.
If you cancel the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control)
when the FCA system is
turned on the FCA automati-
cally deactivates and the FCA
warning light illuminates.
When the ESC is cancelled
the FCA cannot be activated
on the LCD display.

Collision Warning (2ndwarning)
- Red
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs to help
decelerate the vehicle.
- Your vehicle speed may deceler-ate moderately.
- The FCA system limitedly con- trols the brakes to preemptively
mitigate impact in a collision.
Emergency braking (3rdwarning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs to help deceler-
ate the vehicle.
- The FCA system limitedly con-trols the brakes to preemptively
mitigate impact in a collision. The
brake control is maximised just
before a collision.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver's depressing the brake pedal.
The FCA provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The FCA brake control is automat- ically cancelled, when risk factors
disappear.
OAEE058244EOAE058030E
The driver should always use
extreme caution whilst operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from the FCA system.
CAUTION

Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem help detect lane markers on the
road with a camera at the front wind-
screen, and assists the driver's
steering to help keep the vehicle
between lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audiouble
warning, whilst applying a slight
counter-steering torque, trying to
prevent the vehicle from moving out
of its lane.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always be aware of the sur-
rounding and steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA) system:
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKA system helps to prevent
the driver from moving out of
the lane unintentionally by
assisting the driver's steering.
However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always pay attention on
the steering wheel to stay in
the lane.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
The operation of the LKA sys-
tem can be cancelled or not
work properly according to
road condition and surround-
ings. Always be cautious
when driving.
Do not disassemble the LKA
system camera temporarily to
tint the window or attach any
types of coatings and acces-
sories. If you disassemble the
camera and assemble it again,
we recommend that you take
your vehicle to a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer and have
the system checked for cali-
bration.
When you replace the wind-
screen glass, LKA system
camera or related parts of the
steering wheel, we recom-
mend that you take your vehi-
cle to a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer and have the system
checked for calibration.(Continued)

LKA operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA sys-
tem:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press the LKA system but-
ton located on the instrument panel
on the right hand side of the steering
wheel.
■Type A

(Continued)
The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the system".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
You may not hear a warning
sound of LKA system
because of excessive audio
sound.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-
tion if the sunlight is reflected.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Always have your hands on
the steering wheel whilst the
LKA system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep hands
on steering wheel" warning
message appears, the system
will stop controlling the steer-
ing wheel.
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system. The driver
must always follow the speed
limit when using the system.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.
Whilst other beeps such as
the seat belt warning sound
are in operation and override
the LKA alarming system,
LKA beeps may not occur

Driving your vehicle
The indicator in the cluster display
will initially illuminate white. This indi-
cates the LKA system is in the
READY but NOT ENABLED state. The colour of indicator
will change depending on
the condition of LKA sys-
tem.
- White : Sensor does not detect
lane markers or vehicle
speed is under 37 mph (60
km/h).
- Green : Sensor detects lane mark- ers and the system is able
to control vehicle steering.
LKA activation
To see the LKA screen on the LCDdisplay in the cluster, select
ASSIST mode ( ). For more
information, refer to "LCD Display
Modes" in chapter 3.
When both lane markers are detected and all the conditions to
activate the LKA system are satis-
fied, a green steering wheel indica-
tor will illuminate and the LKA sys-
tem indicator light will change from
white to green. This indicates that
the LKA system is in the
ENABLED state and the steering
wheel will be able to be controlled.
OAE058247R
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
system is a system to prevent
the driver from leaving the lane.
However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always check the road condi-
tions when driving.
WARNING

If vehicle speed is over 37 mph (60km/h) and the system detects lane
markers, the colour changes from
gray to white.
If the system detects the left lane marker, the left lane marker colour
will change from gray to white.
If the system detects the right lane marker, the right lane marker
colour will change from gray to
white.
Both lane markers must be detect- ed for the system to fully activate. If your vehicle speed exceeds 37
mph (60 km/h) and the LKA sys-
tem button is ON, the system is
enabled. If your vehicle departs
from the projected lane in front of
you, the LKA system operates as
follows:
A visual warning appears on the
cluster LCD display. Either the left
lane marker or the right lane marker
in the cluster LCD display will blink
depending on which direction the
vehicle is veering.
If the steering wheel appears, the
system will control the vehicle’s
steering to prevent the vehicle from
crossing the lane marker.Keep hands on steering wheel
If the driver takes their hands off the
steering wheel for several seconds
whilst the LKA system is activated,
the system will warn the driver.
Information
If the steering wheel is held very light-
ly the message may still appear
because the LKA system may not
recognise that the driver has their
hands on the wheel.
