Convenient features of your vehicle
Like all assistance systems,
BVM system has limitations.
Over-reliance on the system
may result in a collision.
Always look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are no
objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any
direction to prevent a colli-
sion.
Objects are closer than they
appear. Failure to visually
confirm that is safe to change
the lane before doing so may
result in crash and serious
injury or death.
Always keep the camera lens
clean. The camera may not
work normally if the lens is
covered with foreign material.

Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system (if equipped)
[A] : Sensor
The optional Reverse Parking
Distance Warning system assists the
driver during reverse movement of
the vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within approximately 50 in
(120 cm) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, it
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
Operation of the ReverseParking Distance Warning system
Operating condition
This system will activate when
backing up with the ignition switch
in the ON position. However, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5
km/h), the system may not detect
objects.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), the system will not
warn you even though objects are
detected.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.

Keep your drinks sealed whiledriving to prevent spilling your
drink. If liquid spills, it may get
into the vehicle's electrical/elec-
tronic system and damage elec-
trical/electronic parts.
When cleaning spilled liquids do not use hot air to blow out or dry
the cup holder. This may dam-
age the interior.
Sunvisor
To use the sunvisor, pull it down-
ward.
To use the sunvisor to block the sun
from the side window, pull it down-
ward, release it from the bracket (1)
and swing it to the side towards the
window (2).
To use the vanity mirror, pull down
the sunvisor and slide the mirror
cover (3).
Adjust the sunvisor forward or back-
ward (4) as needed. Use the ticket

NOTICE
Keep cans or bottles out of
direct sun light and do not put
them in a hot vehicle. It may
explode.
WARNING
Do not place uncovered or
unsecured cups, bottles,
cans, etc., in the cup holder
containing hot liquid while the
vehicle is in motion. Injuries
may result in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.
Only use soft cups in the cup
holders. Hard objects can

Depressing both accelerator andbrake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel-
eration. Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal is
released.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On
a slippery surface, an abrupt
change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose
traction and may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an acci-
dent.
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator. To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
ALWAYS wear your seatbelt.
In a collision, an unbelted
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belt-
ed occupant.
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 rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control
of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
Loss of control MAY occur if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
WARNING In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
HYUNDAI recommends you
follow all posted speed limits.

The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) 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
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.
System Setting and Activation
System setting
The driver can activate the FCA by placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting:
‘User Settings → Driver Assistance
→ Forward Safety’
- If you select "Active Assist", the FCA system activates. The FCA
produces warning messages
and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. Also, it controls the brakes in
accordance with the collision risk
levels.

Take the following precautions
when using the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) system:
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. The Forward Collision-
Avoidance system may not
always stop the vehicle com-
pletely and is only intended to
help mitigate a collision that
is imminent.

- If you select "Warning Only", theFCA system activates and pro-
duces only warning alarms in
accordance with the collision risk
levels. You should control the
brake directly because the FCA
system do not control the brake.
- If you select "Off", the FCA sys- tem deactivates,
The warning light illu-
minates on the LCD
display, when you can-
cel the FCA system.
The driver can monitor the FCA
ON/OFF status on the LCD dis-
play. Also, the warning light illumi-
nates when the ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) is turned off. If
the warning light remains ON
when the FCA is activated, have
the system checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer. The driver can select the initial
warning activation time on the LCD
display.
Go to the 'User Settings → Driver
Assistance →Warning Timing →
Normal/Later'. The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Normal :
When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated sensitively. If
you feel the warning activates too
early, set the Forward Collision
Warning to 'Later'.
Even though, 'Normal' is selected if
the front vehicle suddenly stops
the initial warning activation time
may not seem fast.
