We recommend that you take your
vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system checked.
i
Do not apply license plate
frame or foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may
adversely affect the sensing
performance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor
and lens cover clean and free
of dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash
the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover. (Continued)
CAUTION
(Continued)
Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the Smart
Cruise Control system may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. Have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around
the radar sensor, Smart
Cruise Control system may
not operate properly. We rec-
ommend you to have the vehi-
cle inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI
parts to repair or replace a
damaged sensor or sensor
cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.

Driving your vehicle
A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointingupwards due to overloading in the
luggage compartment
- While the steering wheel is operat- ing
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Apply the brake or accelerator pedal
if necessary. Your vehicle may accelerate when
a vehicle ahead of you disappears.
When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution. When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the system
may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed
in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.

tiously to cope with unexpected
situations such as a collisionwhen the system sets an object
as a target, not vehicles.
