2022 HYUNDAI KONA EV brake sensor

Safety system
3-62
OOSEV030023L
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 “under-ride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.
OTL035068
Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air bag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
Information
With rollover sensor
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.
OOSEV030024L
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.

Smart Recuperation System will
be temporarily cancelled when:
• Cancelled manually
Pulling and holding the right side
paddle shifter for more than 1 second.
The Smart Recuperation System turns
off temporarily and AUTO for the
regenerative braking level disappears
from the cluster.
• Cancelled automatically
- The vehicle is shifted to N (Neutral), R (Reverse) or P (Park).
- Cruise Control system (including Smart Cruise Control system) is in
activation.
- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or ABS is operating.
WARNING
When the Smart Recuperation System
is cancelled automatically, adjust the
vehicle speed directly by depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal according to
the road condition ahead and driving
condition.
To resume Smart Recuperation
System
To re-activate the Smart Recuperation
System while driving, pull and hold the

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Distance
recognition sensor (Front radar)
In order for the Smart Recuperation
System to operate properly, always make
sure the radar sensor cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt, snow,

On curves
OTM058117
When coasting on the curve, the system
may not detect the vehicle in your lane
and the regenerative braking level will
reduce automatically, making you feel
that the vehicle is accelerating.
Also, if the system suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front, the regenerative
braking level will increase automatically,
making you feel that the vehicle is
decelerating.
The driver must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving speed
in order to maintain a safe distance.
OTM058073
Your vehicle speed can be reduced due
to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Apply the accelerator pedal and select
the appropriate speed. Check to be sure
that the road conditions permit safe
operation of the Smart Recuperation
System. On inclines
OOS057073
When coasting on an uphill or downhill,
the system may not detect the vehicle in
your lane and the regenerative braking
level will reduce automatically, making
you feel that the vehicle is accelerating.
Also, if the system suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front, the regenerative
braking level will increase automatically,
making you feel that the vehicle is
decelerating.
The driver must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving speed
in order to maintain a safe distance. Lane changing
OTM058074
• A vehicle which moves into your lane
from an adjacent lane cannot be

Vehicle recognition
OTM058128
Some vehicles in your lane cannot be
recognized by the sensor: - Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden- decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles (When the vehicle ahead drives away, the system may not
detect a stopped vehicle.)
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads
A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized
correctly by the sensor if any of following
occurs: - When the vehicle is pointing upwards due to overloading in the luggage
compartment.
- While the steering wheel is operating.
- When driving to one side of the lane.
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves.
- Apply the brake or accelerator pedal if necessary.
WARNING
When using the Smart Recuperation
System take the following precautions: • If an emergency stop is necessary,
you must apply the brakes.
• Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed. If
the vehicle to vehicle distance is too close during a high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
• Always maintain sufficient braking
distance and decelerate your vehicle
by applying the brakes if necessary.
• The Smart Recuperation System
cannot recognize a stopped vehicle,
pedestrians or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
• Vehicles moving in front of you with
a frequent lane changes may cause
a delay in the system's reaction or
may cause the system to react to a
vehicle actually in an adjacent lane.
Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring.
• The Smart Recuperation System
may not recognize complex driving
situations so always pay attention to
driving conditions and control your
vehicle speed.
NOTICE
The Smart Recuperation System may
not operate temporarily due to: • Electrical interference
• Modifying the suspension
• Differences of tire abrasion or tire
pressure
• Installing different type of tires
