Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
Trailer Stability Assist system helps
stabilize the vehicle and trailer when
the trailer sways or oscillates. There
are various reasons making the vehi-
cle sway and oscillate.
Factors of swaying are such as:
- High speed
- Strong crosswinds
- Improper overloading
- Sudden controlling of steering
wheel
- Uneven road
Trailer Stability Assist system contin-
uously analyzes the vehicle and trail-
er instability. When the Trailer
Stability Assist system detects some
sway, the brakes are applied auto-
matically to stabilize the vehicle on
the front wheel. However, if it is not
enough to stabilize, the brakes are
applied on all wheels automatically
and engine power is properly
reduced. When the vehicle is stable
from swaying, trailer stability assist
system does not operate.
Good Braking Practices
Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed. Your vehicle will not stop
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet
brakes may cause the vehicle to pull
to one side.To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns
to normal, taking care to keep the
vehicle under control at all times. If
the braking action does not return to
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to
do so and call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
constant pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear,
and possibly even brake failure.
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-
ward. Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Shift
the gear to P (Park), then apply
the parking brake, and place the
ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.
Vehicles parked with the park-
ing brake not applied or not
fully engaged may roll inadver-
tently and may cause injury to
the driver and others. ALWAYS
apply the parking brake before
exiting the vehicle.

Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The system may not operate for 15
seconds after the engine is started
or the camera is initialized
The radar sensor or camera is cov-
ered with a foreign object or debris
The camera lens is contaminated
due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor
The radar/camera sensor recogni-
tion is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.) The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
The camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights properly turned ON
or their rear lights are located
unusually
The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
Light coming from a street light or
an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle in the road
The field of view in front is obstruct-
ed by sun glare
The windshield glass is fogged up;
a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The vehicle in front is driving errati-
cally The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes
The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
The vehicle drives inside a building,
such as a basement parking lot
The camera does not recognize
the entire vehicle in front
The camera is damaged
The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel
The shadow is on the road by a
median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll-
gate.
The rear part of the vehicle in front
is not normally visible (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.)
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving

Warning message
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system disabled.
Radar blocked
This warning message may appear
When:
- One or both of the sensors on the
rear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the
sensor does not detect another
vehicle for an extended period of
time.
- When there is inclement weather
such as heavy snow or rain.If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW/BCA switch and the
system will turn off automatically.
When the BCW canceled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the system should operate normally
after about 10 minutes of driving the
vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Turn off the BCW, BCA and RCCW
system when a trailer or carrier is
installed.
- Press the BCW/BCA switch (the
indicator on the switch will turn off)
