feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle
and/or abnormal steering responses
(EPS- Electronic Power Steering).
This is only the effect of brake and
EPS control and indicates nothing
unusual.
The VSM does not operate when:

NOTICE
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 13 mph (22
km/h) on curves.
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 6 mph (10
km/h) when a vehicle is braking on
a split-mu surface. A split-mu sur-
face is made of two surfaces which
have different friction forces.

The system detects lane markers
and controls the steering wheel by
a front view camera, therefore, if
the lane markers are hard to
detect, the system may not work
properly. Always be cautious when
using the system.
When the lane markers are hard to
detect, please refer to “DRIVER’S
ATTENTION”.
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of the front view cam-
era system.
Do not place objects on the crash
pad that reflect light such as mir-
rors, white paper, etc. it may cause
malfunction of LKA if sunlight is
reflected.
You may not hear warning sound of
LKA because of the excessive
audio sound.
If other beeps such as the seat belt
warning sound are in operation
and override LKA alarming, LKA
beeps may not occur. At high vehicle speeds, the steer-
ing torque needed for assistance
may not be sufficient to keep your
vehicle within the lane. If so, the
vehicle may move out of its lane.
Always obey the speed limit when
using LKA.
If you attach objects to the steering
wheel, the system may not assist
steering.
If you attach objects to the steering
wheel, hands off alarm may not
work properly.LKA operation
To activate/deactivate LKA :
With the ENGINE START/STOP but-
ton in the ON position, press the
Lane Safety button located on the
instrument panel on the lower left
hand side of the driver.
The indicator ( )in the cluster dis-
play will initially illuminate white.
When the indicator(white) was acti-
vated in the previous ignition cycle,
the system turns on without any con-
trol. If you press the Lane Safety but-
ton again, the indicator on the cluster
display will go off.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist may apply braking power,
when an approaching vehicle is
detected within a certain distance
next to/behind your vehicle.It gently applies braking power on the
tire, which is located in the opposite
side of the possibly-colliding point.
The instrument cluster will inform the
driver of the system activation.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
is automatically deactivated when:
- When the vehicle is deviated over
a certain distance from its driving
lane.
- The vehicle direction is changed
against the possible-colliding point
- The steering wheel is abruptly
moved
- The brake pedal is depressed
- After a certain period of time
The driver should drive the vehicle in
the middle of the vehicle lanes to
keep the system in the ready status.
When the vehicle drives too close to
one side of the vehicle lanes, the
system may not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not prop-
erly control your vehicle in accordance
with driving situations. Thus, always
pay close attention to road situations.

Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist is in opera-
tion.
Always exercise extreme cau-
tion while driving. Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not operate or unneces-
sarily operate in accordance
with your driving situations.
Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices, but a convenience func-
tion only. It is the responsibil-
ity of the driver to always
drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring. Pay

The brake control may not operate
properly according to the status of
the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control). The same warning mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument
cluster for this case also.
- When the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light is on.
- When the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is engaged in a different
function.
When the operation condition of
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning is satisfied, the warning
will occur every time a vehicle
approaches the side or rear of your
stopped (0 mph (0 km/h) vehicle
speed) vehicle.
The driver should always exercise
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not the
warning light on the outside
rearview mirror illuminates or there
is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may prevent you from
hearing the system's warning
sounds.CAUTION

not sound while other sys-
tem's warning sounds.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning may not sound.
WARNING
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning and Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist. Do not solely rely on
the system but check your
surrounding when backing
the vehicle up.
The driver is responsible for
accurate brake control.
Always exercise extreme cau-
tion while driving. Rear Cross-
