Driving on a curve
OADAS003OADAS002
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles
or pedestrians 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.

CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensor:
Never disassemble the detecting
sensor or sensor assembly, or apply
any impact on it.
If the detecting sensors have been
replaced or repaired, have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Never install any accessories or
stickers on the front windshield, or
tint the front windshield.
Pay extreme caution to keep the
front view camera dry.
Never place any reflective objects
(i.e. white paper, mirror) over the
dashboard. Any light reflection
may prevent the function from
functioning properly.
Do not apply license plate frame or
objects, such as a bumper sticker,
film or a bumper guard, near the
front radar cover.
Always keep the front radar and
cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
If unnecessary force has been
applied to the radar or around the
radar, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate
even though a warning message
does not appear on the cluster.
Have the vehicle be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine parts to repair or
replace a damaged front radar cover.
