driving conditions, while driving.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning
[A] : Structure
Driving where there is a vehicle or
structure near
The system may not operate proper-
ly when driving where there is a vehi-
cle or structure near.
In certain instances, the system may
not detect the vehicle approaching
from behind and the warning may not
operate properly.
Always pay attention to your sur-
rounding while driving. When the vehicle is in a complex
parking environment
The system may not operate prop-
erly when the vehicle is in a com-
plex parking environment.
In certain instances, the system
may not be able to exactly deter-
mine the risk of collision for the
vehicles which are parking or
pulling out near your vehicle (e.g. a
vehicle escaping beside your vehi-
cle, a vehicle parking or pulling out
in the rear area, a vehicle
approaching your vehicle making a
turn, etc.).
If this occurs, the warning may not
operate properly.

Lane Keeping Assist system helps
detect lane markers on the road with
a camera at the front windshield,
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, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, to try to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.

Lane Keeping Assist system is
not a substitute for safe driving
practices, but a convenience
function only. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always be
aware of the surrounding and
steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using Lane Keeping
Assist system:
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKA helps to prevent the driver
from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting the
driver's steering. However, the
driver should not solely rely on
the system but always pay
attention on the steering wheel
to stay in the lane.
WARNING
The operation of LKA can be
canceled or not work properly
according to road condition
and surroundings. Always be
cautious when driving.
Do not disassemble LKA cam-
era temporarily to tint the win-
dow or attach any types of
coatings and accessories. If
you disassemble the camera
and assemble it again, take
your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked for calibra-
tion.
When you replace the wind-
shield glass, LKA camera or
related parts of the steering
wheel, take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked
for calibration.

LKA Operation
To activate/deactivate LKA:
With the POWER button in the ON
position, press the Lane Safety but-
ton located on the instrument panel
on the left hand side of the steering
wheel. The indicator in the cluster
display will initially illuminate white.
This indicates LKA is in the READY
but NOT ENABLED state.
If you press the Lane Safety button
again, the indicator on the switch and
cluster display will go off.
Always have your hands on
the steering wheel while the
LKA system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep hands
on steering wheel" warning
message appears, the system
will turn off automatically.
After then, if you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel, the control will be acti-
vated again.
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
speed when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be able to be
controlled by the system. The
driver must always follow the
speed limit when using the
system.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.
The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of
the system".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA.
You may not hear a warning
sound of LKA because of
excessive audio sound.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
Lane Keeping Assist system
warning may not sound.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-
tion if the sunlight is reflected.

If your vehicle departs from the
projected lane in front of you, the
LKA operates as follows:
1. A visual warning appears on the
cluster LCD display. Either the left
lane marker or the right lane
marker in the cluster LCD display
will blink depending on which
direction the vehicle is veering.
Also, a warning sound will be
heard.2. LKA system will control the vehi-
cle's steering to prevent the vehi-
cle from crossing the lane maker
in below conditions.
- Vehicle speed is over 40 mph
(64 km/h)
- The system detects lane mark-
ers
- When driving, the vehicle is
located between both lanes nor-
mally.
- The steering wheel is not turned
suddenly.
When lanes are detected and all the
conditions to activate LKA system
are satisfied, a LKA system indicator
light ( ) will change from white to
green. This indicates that LKA sys-
tem is in the ENABLED state and the
steering wheel will be able to be con-
trolled.Warning Light and Message
Keep hands on steering wheel
If the driver takes their hands off the
steering wheel for several seconds
while the LKA is activated, the sys-
tem will warn the driver.
Information
If the steering wheel is held very light-
ly the message may still appear
because LKA system may not recog-
nize that the driver has their hands on
the wheel.

Radius of a curve is too small.
The vehicle is driven on a steep
incline.
The steering wheel is turned sud-
denly.
Limitations of the System
LKA system may operate premature-
ly even if the vehicle does not depart
from the intended lane, OR, LKA
system may not warn you if the vehi-
cle leaves the intended lane under
the following circumstances:
When the lane and road condi-
tions are poor
It is difficult to distinguish the lane
marker from the road because the
lane marker is covered with dust or
sand.
It is difficult to distinguish the color
of the lane marker from the road.
There are markings on the road
surface that look like a lane marker
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera.
The lane marker is indistinct or
damaged. The lane marker is merged or
divided. (e.g. tollgate)
The lane number increases or
decreases or the lane marker are
crossing complicatedly.
There are more than two lane
markers on the road in front of you.
The lane marker is very thick or
thin.
The lane marker ahead is not visi-
ble due to rain, snow, water on the
road, damaged or stained road
surface, or other factors.
The shadow is on the lane marker
by a median strip, trees, guardrail,
noise barriers, etc.
The lane markers are complicated
or a structure substitutes for the
lines such as a construction area.
There are crosswalk signs or other
symbols on the road.
The lane marker in a tunnel is
stained with oil, etc.
The lane suddenly disappears
such as at the intersection.When external condition is inter-
vened
The brightness outside changes
suddenly such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel, or when passing
under a bridge.
The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
There is a boundary structure in
the roadway such as a concrete
barrier, guardrail and reflector post
that is inadvertently being detected
by the 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.
There is not enough distance
between you and the vehicle in
front to be able to detect the lane
marker or the vehicle ahead is driv-
ing on the lane marker.

Driving on a steep grade, over a hill,
or when driving on a curved road.
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
The surrounding of the inside rear
view mirror temperature is high
due to direct sunlight, etc.
When front visibility is poor
The windshield or the camera lens
is blocked with dirt or debris.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a
clear view of the road is obstructed.
Placing objects on the dashboard,
etc.
The sensor cannot detect the lane
because of fog, heavy rain or snow.LKA Function Change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning from the LCD dis-
play. Go to the 'User Settings →
Driver Assistance →Lane Safety →
Lane Departure Warning/LKA/Active
LKA.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW mode alerts the driver with a
visual warning and a warning alarm
when the system detects the vehicle
departing the lane. The steering
wheel will not be controlled.
LKA
LKA mode guides the driver to help
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It
rarely controls the steering wheel,
when the vehicle drives well inside
the lanes. However, it starts to con-
trol the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate out of the
lanes.
Active LKA
Active LKA mode provides more fre-
quent steering wheel control in com-
parison with the Standard LKA
mode. Active LKA can reduce the dri-
ver’s fatigue to assist the steering for
maintaining the vehicle in the middle
of the lane.

Driver Attention Warning system
utilizes the camera sensor on the
front windshield for its operation.
To keep the camera sensor in the
best condition, you should
observe the followings:
Do not disassemble the camera
temporarily to tint the window or
to attach any types of coatings
and accessories. If you disas-
semble a camera and assemble
it again, take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked for cal-
ibration.
NEVER locate any reflective
objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may cause a malfunc-
tion of Driver Attention Alert
(DAW) system.
Pay extreme caution to keep the
camera sensor out of water.
NEVER arbitrarily disassemble
the camera assembly, nor apply
any impact on the camera
assembly.
NOTICE
Driver Attention Warning sys-
tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices, but a con-
venience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. Pay attention to the road
conditions at all times.
The system may suggest a
break according to the dri-
ver's driving pattern or habits
even if the driver doesn't feel
fatigue.
The driver, who feels fatigued,
should take a break, even
though there is no break sug-
gestion by Driver Attention
Warning system.
WARNING
Driver Attention Warning sys-
tem may not properly operate
with limited alerting in the fol-
lowing situations:
The lane detection perform-
ance is limited. (For more infor-
mation, refer to "Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA)" in this chapter.)
The vehicle is driven erratical-
ly or is abruptly turned for
obstacle avoidance (e.g. con-
struction area, other vehicles,
fallen objects, bumpy road).
Forward drivability of the vehi-
cle is severely undermined
(possibly due to wide variation
in tire pressures, uneven tire
wear-out, toe-in/toe-out align-
ment).
The vehicle drives on a curvy
road.
The vehicle drives on a bumpy
road.
