Driving your vehicle
The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump.
The vehicle in front is moving verti-
cally to the driving direction.
The vehicle in front is stopped ver-
tically.
The vehicle in front is driving
towards your vehicle or reversing.
You are on a roundabout and the
vehicle in front circles.
Driving on a curve
The performance of the FCA sys-
tem may be limited when driving
on a curved road.
On curved roads, the other vehicle
on the same lane is not recognized
and the FCA system's perform-
ance may be degraded. This may
result in unnecessary alarm or
braking or no alarm or braking
when necessary.
Also, in certain instances the front
radar sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle
traveling on a curved road.In these cases, the driver must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe
distance.

(Continued)
Never try to test the operation
of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.
If the front bumper, front
glass, radar or camera have
been replaced or repaired, we
recommend that you have
your vehicle inspected by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not use the Forward
Collision avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system whilst towing
may adversely affect the safe-
ty of your vehicle or the tow-
ing 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 FCA system is designed
to help detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian or cyclist (if
equipped) 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.

Do not disassemble the front
view 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 an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked for calibra-
tion.
When you replace the wind-
screen glass, front view cam-
era or related parts of the
steering wheel, we recom-
mend that you take your vehi-
cle to an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system
checked for calibration.
The system helps detect 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 LFA system.
You may not hear a warning
sound of LFA system if the
audio volume is high.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. This may prevent the LFA
system from functioning
properly.
Always have your hands on
the steering wheel whilst the
LFA system is activated. If you
continue to drive with your
hands off the steering wheel
after the "Keep hands on
steering wheel" warning mes-
sage appears, the system will
turn off automatically.
(Continued)(Continued)
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
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.
When you tow a trailer, make
sure that you turn off the LFA
system.

(Continued)
Always be aware of the select-
ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance. The driver
should not solely rely on the
system but always pay atten-
tion to driving conditions and
control your vehicle speed.
The Smart Cruise Control
System may not recognize
complex driving situations so
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
The Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem may recognize a pedestri-
an, bicycle, motorcycle, etc. as
a vehicle. Always, look ahead
cautiously to prevent unex-
pected and sudden situations
from occurring.
(Continued)(Continued)
Turn off the Smart Cruise
Control system when the
vehicle is being towed.
The Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem may operate limitedly
when towing a trailer or vehi-
cle so always drive cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.

Information
The ESC system (if equipped) must be
turned OFF before rocking the vehi-
cle.
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tyre damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more dis-
tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other drivers' head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head-
lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra follow-
ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if
equipped)
Replace your windscreen wiper
blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windscreen.
Be sure your tyres have enough
tread. If your tyres do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See "Tyre Tread" in chapter 7.
Turn on your headlamps to make it
easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud-
dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.

The severe weather conditions of
winter quickly wear out tyres and
cause other problems. To minimise
winter driving problems, you should
take the following suggestions:
Information
Information for Snow Tyres and Tyre
Chains in the national language
(Bulgarian, Hungarian, Icelandic,
Polish) is provided in the Appendix.
Snow or icy conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake
applications, and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine
braking to the fullest extent. Sudden
brake applications on snowy or icy
roads may cause the vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tyres
or to install tyre chains on your tyres.Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to
carry include tyre chains, tow straps
or chains, a flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables,
a window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
Snow tyres
If you mount snow tyres on your vehi-
cle, make sure to use radial tyres of
the same size and load range as the
original tyres. Mount snow tyres on
all four wheels to balance your vehi-
cle’s handling in all weather condi-
tions. The traction provided by snow
tyres on dry roads may not be as
high as your vehicle's original equip-
ment tyres. Check with the tyre deal-
er for maximum speed recommenda-
tions.
Information
Do not install studded tyres without
first checking local and municipal regu-
lations for possible restrictions against
their use.

Snow tyres should be equiva-
lent in size and type to the vehi-
cle's standard tyres. Otherwise,
the safety and handling of your
vehicle may be adversely affect-
ed.

Do not let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. When
there is the risk that your parking
brake may freeze, temporarily apply
it with the shift lever in P (Park). Also,
block the rear wheels in advance, so
the vehicle may not roll. Then,
release the parking brake.Do not let ice and snow accumu-
late underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in such conditions during the
severe winter, you should check
underneath the vehicle on a regular
basis, so ensure that the front
wheels and the steering components
is unblocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather condi-
tions, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment, whilst driv-
ing. Some of the items you may want
to carry include tyre chains, tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emer-
gency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves,
ground cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.Do not place objects or materials
in the engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the
engine compartment may cause an
engine failure or combustion,
because they may block the engine
cooling. Such damage will not be
covered by the manufacturer's war-
ranty.
