Just before impact, drivers often brake 
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the 
front portion of the vehicle causing it 
to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher 
ground clearance. Air bags may not 
inflate in this “underride” situation 
because deceleration forces that are 
detected by sensors may be significantly 
reduced by such “underride” collisions.
OTM030041
Front air bags may not inflate in 
rollover accidents because front air bag 
deployment would not provide additional 
occupant protection.
However, the side and curtain air bags 
and front center air bag may inflate in a 
rollover situation, when it is detected by 
the rollover sensor.
OTM030019
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle 
collides with objects such as utility poles 
or trees, where the point of impact is 
concentrated and the collision energy is 
absorbed by the vehicle structure.

Daytime Running Light (DRL)
The Da
ytime Running Lights (DRL) can 
make it easier for others to see the front 
of your vehicle during the day, especially 
after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will turn the dedicated 
lamp OFF when :
•	 The headlamps are ON.
•	 The parking brake is applied.
•	 The vehicle is turned off.
OTM050098
AUTO headlamp position
The position lamp and headlamp will 
be turned ON or OFF automatically 
depending on the amount of daylight as 
measured by the ambient light sensor (1) 
at the upper end of the windshield glass.
Even with the AUTO headlamp feature 
in operation, it is recommended to 
manually turn ON the headlamps when 
driving at night or in a fog, driving in the 
rain, or when you enter dark areas, such 
as tunnels and parking facilities.
NOTICE
•	Do not cover or spill anything on the 
sensor (1) located at the upper end of 
the windshield glass.
•	 Do not clean the sensor using 
a window cleaner, the cleanser 
may leave a light film which could 
interfere with sensor operation.
•	 If your vehicle has window tint or 
other types of metallic coating on 
the front windshield, the AUTO 
headlamp system may not work 
properly.

IDLE sTOp AnD gO (Isg) (IF EQUIppED)
Idle Stop and Go helps reduce fuel 
consumption by automatically shutting 
down the engine, when the vehicle is 
at a standstill (i.e. red stop light, stop 
sign, and traffic jam) subject to certain 
prerequisite conditions being satisfied as 
listed below.
The engine is automatically started upon 
satisfying the starting conditions.
ISG system is always active, when the 
engine is running.
 Information
When the engine is automatically started 
by ISG system, warning lights (i.e. ABS, 
ESC, ESC OFF, EPS, and parking brake 
warning light) may illuminate for a few 
seconds due to low battery voltage.
However, it does not indicate a 
malfunction with ISG system.
ISG system operation
Prerequisite for activation
ISG system operates in the following 
situations.
•	The driver's seatbelt is fastened
•	 The driver's door and hood are closed
•	 The brake vacuum pressure is 
adequate
•	 The battery sensor is activated and 
the battery is sufficiently charged
•	 Outside temperature is not too low or 
too high
•	 The vehicle is driven over a constant 
speed and stops
•	 The climate control system satisfies 
the conditions
•	 The vehicle is sufficiently warmed up
•	 ISG related parts are working properly
•	 The incline is gradual
•	 The steering wheel is turned less than 
180 degrees and then the vehicle 
stops
 Information
If the ISG light (white) is turned on on the 
instrument cluster and does not meet the 
ISG system operating conditions, the ISG 
system is not activated.
When the ISG light (yellow) is on while the 
ISG system meets operating conditions, we 
recommend that the system be inspected 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

 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.

When you are driving forward out of 
a parking space, if the system judges 
that there is a collision risk with an 
approaching vehicle in the blind spot, 
the system will help avoid a collision by 
applying the brake.

Avoidance Assist will be referred as Blind-
Spot Safety system.
