 CAUTION
Take the following precautions to 
maintain optimal performance of the 
detecting sensor:
•	Never disassemble the detecting 
sensor or sensor assembly, or apply 
any impact on it.
•	 If the detecting sensors have been 
replaced or repaired, we recommend 
that you have your vehicle inspected 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•	 Never install any accessories or 
stickers on the front windshield, or 
tint the front windshield.
•	 Pay extreme caution to keep the 
front view camera dry.
•	 Never place any reflective objects 
(i.e. white paper, mirror) over the 
dashboard. Any light reflection may 
prevent the system from functioning 
properly.
•	 Do not apply license plate frame or 
objects, such as a bumper sticker, 
film or a bumper guard, near the 
front radar cover.
•	 Always keep the front radar and 
cover clean and free of dirt and 
debris. 
Use only a soft cloth to wash the 
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized 
water directly on the sensor or 
sensor cover. •	
If unnecessary force has been 
applied to the radar or around the 
radar, Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist may not properly operate 
even though a warning message 
does not appear on the cluster. We 
recommend that the vehicle be 
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
•	 Use only genuine parts to repair or 
replace a damaged front radar cover. 
Do not apply paint to the front radar 
cover.

When the front windshield where the 
front view camera is located, front radar 
cover, bumper or sensor is covered with 
foreign material, such as snow or rain, it 
can reduce the detecting performance 
and temporarily limit or disable Forward 
Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs the ‘Forward Safety 
system(s)	disabled.	Camera	obscured’	or	
the ‘Forward Safety system(s) disabled. 
Radar	blocked’	warning	message,	
and the 
 and  warning lights will 
illuminate on the cluster.
The function will operate normally when 
when such snow, rain or foreign material 
is removed.
If the function does not operate normally 
after obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign 
material) is removed, we recommend 
that the function be inspected by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
 WARNING
•	 Even though the warning message or 
warning light does not appear on the 
cluster, Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist may not properly operate. 
•	 Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 
may not properly operate in an 
area (e.g. open terrain), where any 
substance are not detected after 
turning ON the engine.
Limitations of the function
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may 
not operate normally, or the function 
may operate unexpectedly under the 
following circumstances:
•	The detecting sensor or the 
surroundings are contaminated or 
damaged
•	 The temperature around the front 
view camera is high or low 
•	 The camera lens is contaminated due 
to tinted, filmed or coated windshield, 
damaged glass, or stuck of foreign 
material (sticker, bug, etc.) on the 
glass
•	 Moisture is not removed or frozen on 
the windshield
•	 Washer fluid is continuously sprayed, 
or the wiper is on
•	 Driving in heavy rain or snow, or thick 
fog 
•	 The field of view of the front view 
camera is obstructed by sun glare 
•	 Street light or light from an oncoming 
vehicle is reflected on the wet road 
surface, such as a puddle on the road
•	 An object is placed on the dashboard

 WARNING
•	Driving on a curve
OADAS014
OADAS016OADAS018
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 
may not detect other vehicles, 
pedestrians or cyclists in front of you 
on curved roads adversely affecting 
the performance of the sensors. This 
may result in no warning or braking 
assist when necessary. 
When driving on a curve, you must 
maintain a safe braking distance, 
and if necessary, steer the vehicle 
and depress the brake pedal to 
reduce your driving speed in order to 
maintain a safe distance.
OADAS015
OADAS017OADAS019
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 
may detect a vehicle, pedestrian or 
cyclist in the next lane or outside the 
lane when driving on a curved road. 
If this occurs, the system may 
unnecessarily warn the driver and 
control the brake. Always check the 
traffic conditions around the vehicle.

•	Driving on a slope
OADAS012
OADAS010OADAS011
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 
may not detect other vehicles, 
pedestrians or cyclists in front of 
you while driving uphill or downhill 
adversely affecting the performance 
of the sensors.
This may result in unnecessary 
warning or braking assist, or no 
warning or braking assist when 
necessary.
Also, vehicle speed may rapidly 
decrease when a vehicle, pedestrian 
or cyclist ahead is suddenly 
detected. 
Always have your eyes on the road 
while driving uphill or downhill and 
if necessary, steer your vehicle and 
depress the brake pedal to reduce 
your driving speed in order to 
maintain a safe distance. •	
Changing lanes
OADAS030[A] : Your vehicle, 
[B] : Lane changing vehicle
When a vehicle moves into your lane 
from an adjacent lane, it cannot 
be detected by the sensor until it 
is in the sensor's detection range. 
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 
may not immediately detect the 
vehicle when the vehicle changes 
lanes abruptly. In this case, you must 
maintain a safe braking distance, 
and if necessary, steer your vehicle 
and depress the brake pedal to 
reduce your driving speed in order to 
maintain a safe distance.
