Front air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occupants
are moved backward by the force of the
impact. In this case, inflated air bags
would not provide any additional benefit.
OQX039042L
Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air bag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags may
inflate depending on the severity of
impact.
OQX039040L
In an angled collision, the force of impact
may direct the occupants in a direction
where the air bags would not be able to
provide any additional benefit, and thus
the sensors may not deploy any air bags.
OQXI039034
Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it
to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this “underride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.

• Detecting the vehicle in front of you
If 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, additional
special attention is required. FCA
system may not be able to detect the
cargo extending from the vehicle. In
these instances, you must maintain
a safe braking distance from the
rearmost object, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
WARNING
• 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.
• FCA system is designed to help
detect and monitor the vehicle ahead
in the roadway through camera
recognition. It is not designed to
detect bicycles, motorcycles, or
smaller wheeled objects such as
luggage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
• Never try to test the operation of FCA
system. Doing so may cause severe
injury or death.
• Have your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer when
the windshield glass or camera is
replaced.
Information
In some instances, FCA system
may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.

• Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle,
especially if the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you 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.
OQX059034L
When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, FCA system
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 necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

Detecting pedestrians (if equipped)
The sensor may be limited when:
• The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition system, for
example, if the pedestrian is leaning
over or is not fully walking upright
• The pedestrian is moving very quickly
or appears abruptly in the camera
detection area
• The pedestrian is wearing clothing
that easily blends into the
background, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recognition
system
• The outside lighting is too bright (e.g.
when driving in bright sunlight or
in sun glare) or too dark (e.g. when
driving on a dark rural road at night)
• It is difficult to detect and distinguish
the pedestrian from other objects in
the surroundings, for example, when
there is a group of pedestrians or a
large crowd
• There is an item similar to a person's
body structure
• The pedestrian is small
• The pedestrian has impaired mobility
• The sensor recognition is limited
• The radar sensor or camera is blocked
with a foreign object or debris
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain
or snow obscures the field of view of
the radar sensor or camera
• When light coming from a street light
or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a puddle in
the road
• The field of view in front is obstructed
by sun glare
• The windshield glass is fogged up; a
clear view of the road is obstructed
• The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while

WARNING
• Do not use Forward Collision-
avoidance Assist (FCA) system when
towing a vehicle. Application of
the FCA system while towing may
adversely affect the safety of your
vehicle or the towing 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.

Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or damage
the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or adversely
affect vehicle handling. This could lead
to sudden tire failure that may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified
on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more fuel and is less efficient
than driving at a slower, more moderate
speed. Maintain a moderate speed in
order to conserve fuel when driving on
the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine coolant
level and the engine oil before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
Your multi-purpose passenger vehicle is
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
SUV's have higher ground clearance
and a narrower track to make them
capable of performing in a wide variety
of off-road applications. The specific
design characteristics give them a higher
center of gravity than ordinary vehicles
making them more likely to roll over if
you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles
have a significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles. Due to this
risk, driver and passengers are strongly
recommended to buckle their seat belts.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
There are steps that a driver can make
to reduce the risk of a rollover. If at all
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers, do not load your vehicle
with heavy cargo on the roof, and never
modify your vehicle in any way.
WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. To prevent rollovers or loss of
control:
• Take corners at slower speeds than
you would with a passenger vehicle.
• Avoid sharp turns and abrupt
maneuvers.
• Do not modify your vehicle in any
way that you would raise the center
of gravity.
• Keep tires properly inflated.
• Do not carry heavy cargo on the roof.

When driving with the compact spare tire
mounted to your vehicle:
• Check the tire pressure after installing
the compact spare tire. The compact
spare tire should be inflated to 60 psi
(420 kPa).
• Do not take this vehicle through
an automatic car wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use the compact spare tire on
any other vehicle because this tire
has been designed especially for your
vehicle.
• The compact spare tire’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tire. Inspect
your compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on
the same wheel.
• Do not use more than one compact
spare tire at a time.
NOTICE
When the original tire and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the lug nut torque must be set correctly.
The correct lug nut tightening torque is
79~94 lbf·ft (11~13 kgf·m).
CAUTION
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tire and your vehicle:
• Drive slowly enough for the road
conditions to avoid all hazards, such
as a potholes or debris.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 1
inch (25 mm).
• Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly.
• Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.
