Battery Sensor Deactivation
ODN8A069204ODN8A069204
[A] : Battery sensor
The battery sensor is deactivated, when
the battery is disconnected from the
negative pole for maintenance purpose.
In this case, the ISG system is limitedly
operated due to the battery sensor
deactivation. Thus, the driver needs
to take the following procedures to
reactivate the battery sensor after
disconnecting the battery.
Prerequisites to reactivate the
battery sensor
Switch "ON" and "OFF" the ignition one
time. Park the vehicle for a minimum of 4
hours with the hood and all doors closed.
Pay extreme caution not to connect any
accessories (i.e. navigation and black
box) to the vehicle with the engine in the
OFF status. If not, the battery sensor may
not be reactivated.
Information
The ISG system may not operate in the
following situations. - There is a malfunction with the ISG
system.
- The battery is weak.
- The brake vacuum pressure is low.
If this occurs, have the ISG system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
• Use only a genuine HYUNDAI
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery
for replacement. If not, the ISG
system may not operate normally.
• Do not recharge the Absorbent Glass
Mat (AGM) battery with a general
battery charger. It may damage or
explode the Absorbent Glass Mat
(AGM) battery.
• Do not remove the battery cap. The
battery electrolyte, which is harmful
to the human body, may leak out.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
system is designed to detect the
vehicle, a pedestrian or cyclist ahead (if
equipped) in the roadway through front
radar signals and front view camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if necessary,
apply emergency braking.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system:
• This system is only a supplemental
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.
• Drive at posted speed limits and
accordance to road conditions.
• Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. FCA does not always
stop the vehicle completely.
System Setting and Activation
System setting
OTMA058186OTMA058186
• Setting Forward Safety function
The driver can activate FCA by placing
the ignition switch to the ON position
and by selecting:
‘User Settings → Driver Assistance →
Forward Safety’ - If you select ‘Active Assist’, FCA system activates. FCA produces
warning messages and warning
alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. Braking assist
will be applied in accordance with
the collision risk.
- If you select ‘Warning Only’, FCA system activates and produces only
warning alarms in accordance with
the collision risk levels. Braking
assist will not be applied in this
setting.
- If you select ‘Off’, FCA system deactivates. If you turn the ESC off
stage 2, FCA deactivates and the
warning light comes on.

While Driving6-42
Prerequisite for activation
FCA gets ready to be activated, when
‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’ under
Forward Safety is selected in the cluster
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied.
- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10 km/h ).
(FCA is only activated within a certain
speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian, cyclist or a vehicle in front, which may
collide with your vehicle. However,
FCA may not be activated or may only
sound a warning alarm depending on
the driving or vehicle conditions.
FCA may not operate properly according
to the frontal situation, condition of the
vehicle, the direction of pedestrian or
cyclist or speed. If you select "Warning
Only", only warnings occur.
WARNING
To avoid driver distractions, do not
attempt to set or cancel FCA while
driving the vehicle. Always completely
stop the vehicle at a safe place before
setting or canceling the system.
FCA automatically activates upon
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position. The driver can deactivate FCA
by canceling the system setting on the
cluster LCD display or infotainment
system display (if equipped).
FCA automatically deactivates upon
canceling ESC (Electronic Stability
Control). When ESC is canceled, FCA
cannot be activated in the LCD display
or infotainment system display (if
equipped). In this situation, the FCA
warning light will illuminate which is
normal.
FCA Warning Message and Brake
Control
FCA produces warning messages,
warning alarms, and emergency braking
based on the level of risk of a frontal
collision, such as when a vehicle ahead
suddenly brakes, or the system detects
that a collision with a pedestrian or
cyclist is imminent.
Collision warning (First warning)
ODN8H069201LODN8H069201L
This warning message appears on the
LCD display with a warning chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decelerate
the vehicle.

LKA Operation
ODN8069059ODN8069059
To activate/deactivate LKA system:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press LKA system button
located on the instrument panel on the
left hand side of the steering wheel.
The
indicator in the cluster
display will initially illuminate white. This
indicates LKA system is in the READY but
NOT ENABLED state.
Note that the vehicle speed
must be at least approximately
40 mph (64 km/h) to ENABLE
LKA system. The indicator in the
cluster display will illuminate
green.
- White: Sensor does not detect lane markers or vehicle speed is under 40
mph (64 km/h).
- Green: Sensor detects lane markers and the system is able to control
vehicle steering.
Information
If the indicator (white) is activated from
the previous ignition cycle, the system will
turn ON without any additional control.
If you press the LKA button again, the
indicator on the cluster goes off.
LKA System Function Change
The driver can change LKA to
Lane Departure Warning or Lane
Keeping Assist from the LCD display
or infotainment system display(if
equipped). Go to the ‘User Settings →
Driver Assistance → Lane Safety → Lane
Keeping Assist/Lane Departure Warning/
Off'. The system is automatically set to
Lane Keeping Assist if a function is not
changed.
Lane Keeping Assist
The LKA mode guides the driver to help
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It
rarely controls the steering wheel, when
the vehicle drives well inside the lanes.
However, it starts to control the steering
wheel, when the vehicle is about to
deviate out of the lanes.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
warning and a warning alarm when the
system detects the vehicle departing
the lane. The steering wheel will not be
controlled.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
system may activate the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) in accordance
with a colliding possibility with an
approaching vehicle while changing
lanes. It is to lower the colliding risk or
help mitigate the colliding damage.
WARNING

while driving and be alert for
unexpected situations even though
the Blind-Spot Collision Warning
system and Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist system are
operating.
