The All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
delivers engine torque to both the
front and rear wheels for extra trac-
tion.
AWD is useful when maximum trac-
tion is required on slippery, muddy,
wet, or snow-covered roads.Occasional off-road use such as
established unpaved roads and trails
are OK. It is always important that
the driver carefully reduces the
speed to a level that does not exceed
the safe operating speed for those
conditions.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging
off-road conditions.
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
The risk of a rollover is great-
ly increased if you lose con-
trol of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.

The drive mode may be selected
according to the driver's preference
or road condition.
The system resets to be in the COM-
FORT mode, when the engine is
restarted.
Information
If there is a problem with the instru-
ment cluster, the drive mode will be in
COMFORT mode and may not
change to SPORT mode. The mode changes, as below,
whenever the DRIVE MODE button
is pressed.
When COMFORT mode is selected,
it is not displayed on the instrument
cluster.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting the
steering effort, and the
engine and transmission control
logic for enhanced driver perform-
ance.
When SPORT mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the SPORT indicator (yellow color)
will illuminate.
Whenever the engine is restarted,
the Drive Mode will revert back to
COMFORT mode. If SPORT mode
is desired, re-select SPORT mode
from the DRIVE MODE button.
When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to
remain raised over a certain
length of time even after releas-
ing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accel-
erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.

Driving your vehicle
- Early:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning is
activated earlier than normal. This
setting maximizes the amount of
distance between the vehicle
ahead before the initial warning
occurs.
Even though, 'Early' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops the
initial warning activation time may
not seem fast.
If you feel the warning activates too
early, set the Forward Collision
Warning to "Normal".
Prerequisite for activation
The FCA system is on and ready
when FCA is selected on the LCD
display and when the following pre-
requisites are satisfied:
- The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) on.
- Driving speed exceeds approxi-
mately 6 mph (10 km/h). (The FCA
is only activated within a certain
speed range.)
- The system detects a vehicle in
front, which may collide with your
vehicle. (The FCA may not be acti-
vated or may sound a warning
alarm in accordance with the driv-
ing situation or vehicle condition.)
Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate/
deactivate the FCA system.
The FCA automatically acti-
vates upon placing the igni-
tion switch to the ON position.
The driver can deactivate the
FCA by canceling the system
setting 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 canceled the
FCA cannot be activated on
the LCD display. The FCA
warning light will illuminate
which is normal.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
Brake operation
The braking system enters into the
ready status to react promptly to
urgent situations.
The FCA provides additional brak-
ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver depress-
es 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 canceled, when risk factors
disappear.
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from the FCA system.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) sys-
tem warning may not sound.
CAUTION
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
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
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 oper-
ation of the FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem detects lane markers on the
road using a forward facing front
camera located on the top center of
the windshield. The LKA system
assists the driver's steering to help
keep the vehicle between the lane
markers.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a counter-steer-
ing torque, to try to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving out of its lane.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. 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.
WARNING
The operation of the LKA sys-
tem can be canceled 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,
take your vehicle to an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked for
calibration.
When you replace the wind-
shield glass, LKA system
camera or related parts of the
steering wheel, take your
vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked for calibra-
tion.

5-88
Driving your vehicle
Always have your hands on
the steering wheel while the
LKA system is activated. Also,
when Active LKA is selected
from the User Settings mode
and if you continue to drive
with your hands off the steer-
ing wheel after the "Keep
hands on steering wheel"
warning message appears,
the system will stop control-
ling the steering wheel.
However, if the driver has their
hands on the steering wheel
again, the system will start
controlling the steering
wheel.
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
speed when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be able to 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. When you tow a trail-
er, make sure that you turn off
the LKA system.
When you tow a trailer, make
sure that you turn off the LKA
system.
The system detects lane lines
and controls the steering
wheel by a camera, therefore,
if the lane lines 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.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Lane Keeping Assist
(LKA) system warning may
not 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.
