2019 Hyundai Tucson trailer

As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correct-
ly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (high-
er ground clearance, track, etc.) give
this vehicle a higher centre of gravity
than other types of vehicles. In other
words they are not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as con-
ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeu-
vres. Again, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.Be sure to read the
"Reducing the risk of a rollover"
driving guidelines, in section 5 of
this manual. By following a few simple precautions
for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you
may add to the performance, econo-
my and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Whilst driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation.

Driving your vehicle
• Automatic transaxle/Dual clutch transmission vehicle
1. Start the engine.
2. Fasten the driver's seat belt.
3. Close the driver's door, engine bonnet and tailgate.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal whilst the shift lever is in R
(Rear), D (Drive) or Sports mode.
Make sure the Parking Brake
Warning light goes off.
Information
• For your safety, you can engage the EPB even though the Engine Stop/
Start button is in the OFF position,
but you cannot release it.
• For your safety, depress the brake pedal and release the parking brake
manually with the EPB switch when
you drive downhill or when backing
up the vehicle.
Information - Manual trans-mission
A vehicle towing a trailer on a hill or
on an incline may slightly roll back-
wards when starting the vehicle. To
prevent the situation follow the below
instructions.
1. Depress the clutch pedal and select a gear.
2. Keep pulling up the EPB switch.
3. Depress the accelerator pedal and slowly release the clutch pedal.
4. If the vehicle starts off with enough driving power release the EPB
switch.
Do not follow the above procedure
when driving on a flat level ground.
The vehicle may suddenly move for-
ward. • If the parking brake warning
light is still on even though the
EPB has been released, we rec-
ommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
• Do not drive your vehicle with the EPB applied. It may cause
excessive brake pad and brake
rotor wear.NOTICEi

Limitations of the system
The Forward Collision avoidance
assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a pedes-
trian in the roadway through radar sig-
nals and camera recognition 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 FCA sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
• The radar sensor or camera isblocked with a foreign object or
debris
• The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windscreen, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
• 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 radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited
• The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle 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 camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
• The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear
lights are located unusually.
• The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
• When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
• The field of view in front is obstruct- ed by sun glare or head light of
oncoming vehicle.
• The windscreen glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
• The vehicle in front is driving errati- cally
• The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.

Driving your vehicle- A trailer or carrier is installed. Touse the BCW system, remove the
trailer or carrier from your vehicle.
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
When the BCW cancelled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the BCW system should operate nor-
mally after about 10 minutes of driv-
ing the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Information
Turn off the system by pressing the
BCW switch and deselecting Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision warning
(RCCW) from the User Settings mode
on the cluster, when using a trailer or
carrier behind your vehicle.
Check BCW (Blind-spot Collision
Warning) system
If there is a problem with the BCW
system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch
will turn off. The system will turn off
automatically. We recommend that
you have your vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Limitations of the system
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
• When a trailer or carrier is installed.
• The vehicle drives in inclement weather such as heavy rain or
snow.
• The sensor is polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc.
• The rear bumper where the sensor is located is covered with a foreign
object such as a bumper sticker, a
bumper guard, a bike rack, etc.
• The rear bumper is damaged, or the sensor is out of the original
default position.
• The vehicle height gets lower or higher due to heavy loading in the
luggage compartment, abnormal
tyre pressure, etc.
• When the temperature near the rear bumper area is high or low.

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
at the lower right hand side of the
driver.
The indicator in the cluster display
will initially illuminate white. This indi-
cates the LKA system is in the
READY but NOT ENABLED state.
(Continued)
•The system detects lane
markers (or road edge) and
controls the steering wheel by
a camera, therefore, if the lane
markers (or road edge) 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 control the steering
wheel.
•The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane (or
road edge) the vehicle may
not be controlled by the sys-
tem. 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.
•When you tow a trailer, make
sure that you turn off the LKA
system.
