Driving your vehicle
When the ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic
transmission or dual clutch trans-
mission may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the ECO mode is
activated to improve fuel efficiency.Limitation of the ECO mode oper-
ation:
If the following conditions occur
whilst the ECO mode is operating,
the system operation is limited even
though there is no change in the
ECO indicator.
When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
When using the automatic trans-
mission or dual clutch transmission
Sports mode:
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is
deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds: The system will be limited,
judging that the driver wants to
speed up.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting the
steering wheel, engine
and transmission system.
When the SPORT mode is select-
ed by pressing the DRIVE MODE
button, the SPORT indicator (yel-
low colour) will illuminate.
Restarting the engine in SPORT
mode resets the DRIVE mode to
COMFORT mode. Thus, when
necessary, reselect the SPORT
mode.
When the SPORT mode is activat-
ed:
- The RPM (revolutions per min-
utes) level is maintained over a
certain length of time, even after
releasing the accelerator.
- Up-shifting timing is delayed,
whilst accelerating.
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.

- It will operate if the vehicle speed
is greater than approximately 8
km/h and less than or equal to 65
km/h on a forward vehicle.
(Depending on the condition of
the vehicle ahead and the sur-
rounding environment the possi-
ble maximum operating speed
may be reduced.)Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver's depressing the brake pedal.
The FCA provides additional brak-
ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses 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 cancelled, when risk factors
disappear.The driver should always use
extreme caution whilst operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
there is a warning message or
alarm from the FCA system.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

System malfunction
Check FCA
(Forward Collision Avoidance Asst.)
When the FCA is not working prop-
erly, the FCA warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
( ) will illuminate. In this case, we
recommend that you have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
The FCA warning message may
appear along with the illumination
of the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light.

The FCA is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver's con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on the FCA
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed.
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
activate unintentionally. This
initial warning message
appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front camera recognition sys-
tem may not detect the vehi-
cle ahead. The FCA system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.
Even if there is any problem
with the brake control func-
tion of the FCA system, the
vehicle's basic braking per-
formance will operate normal-
ly. However, the brake control
function for avoiding a colli-
sion will not activate.
If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
The FCA system may activate
during braking and the vehi-
cle may stop suddenly shift-
ing loose objects toward the
passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured.
The FCA system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid a colli-
sion.WARNING

5-90
When the FCA suddenly recognis-
es the vehicle in front whilst pass-
ing over a slope, you may experi-
ence sharp deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward
whilst driving upward or downward
on a slope, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the FCA system may
not immediately detect the vehicle,
especially if the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the FCA sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

- Driving on a slope
The performance of the FCA
decreases whilst driving upward or
downward on a slope, not recog-
nising the vehicle in front in the
same lane. It may unnecessarily
produce the warning message and
the warning alarm, or it may not
produce the warning message and
the warning alarm at all.
When the FCA suddenly recognis-
es the vehicle in front whilst pass-
ing over a slope, you may experi-

Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem with a camera at the front wind-
screen, helps detect lane markers
on the road, and assists the driver's
steering to help keep the vehicle
between lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, whilst applying a counter-steer-
ing torque, trying 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, but a conven-
ience function. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always be
aware of the surroundings 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 unintentionally
moving out of the lane by
assisting the driver's steering.
However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always pay attention to
the steering wheel to stay in
the lane.
WARNING
The operation of the LKA sys-
tem can be cancelled or not
work properly according to
road conditions and sur-
roundings. Always be cau-
tious when driving.
Do not disassemble the LKA
system camera temporarily to
tint the window or attach any
type 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, LKA system
camera 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.
