Information
If the steering wheel is held very lightly
the message may still appear because LKA
system may not recognize that the driver
has their hands on the wheel.
WARNING
The warning message may appear
late according to road conditions.
Therefore, always have your hands on
the steering wheel while driving.
OOSH069085L
Driver’s hands not detected.
LKA system is disabled temporarily
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after the
message “Keep hands on steering
wheel”, the system will not control the
steering wheel and warn the driver
only when the driver crosses the lane
markers.
However, if the driver has their hands on
the steering wheel again, the system will
start controlling the steering wheel.
WARNING
• LKA system is a supplemental system
only. It is the responsibility of the
driver to safely steer the vehicle and
to maintain it in its lane.
• Turn off LKA system and drive
without using the system in the
following situations:
-In bad weather
-In bad road conditions
-When the steering wheel needs
to be controlled by the driver
frequently
Information
Even though the steering is assisted by the
system, the driver can still steer to control
the steering wheel.
The steering wheel may feel heavier when
the steering wheel is assisted by the system
than when it is not.

vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. LKA system will not be in the ENABLED
state and the steering wheel will not be
assisted when:
•
The turn signal is turned on before
changing a lane. If you change
lanes without the turn signal on, the
steering wheel might be controlled.

Limitations of the System
LKA system may operate prematurely
even if the vehicle does not depart from
the intended lane, OR, LKA system may
not assist your steering or warn you if the

the following circumstances:
When the lane and road conditions are
poor
• It is difficult to distinguish the lane
marking from the road surface or the
lane marking is faded or not clearly
marked.
• It is difficult to distinguish the color of
the lane marker from the road.

System Description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
Blind-Spot Collision Warning system
uses rear corner radar sensors to monitor
and warn the driver of an approaching
vehicle in the driver’s blind spot area.
(1) Blind-spot vehicle warning
OIK057138
BCW system detects and warns vehicles
in blind-spot.
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is traveling
much faster than the vehicles around
you, the warning will not occur.
(2) Fast approach vehicle warning
OIK057139L
BCW system will alert you when a vehicle
is detected approaching in an adjacent
lane at a high rate of speed. If the driver
activates the turn signal when the system
detects an oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist
ODN8H059322
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
system detects the front lane through the
front view camera installed on the upper
front windshield and detects the side/
rear areas through rear corner radars.
BLIND-SPOT COLLISION WARNING (BCW) / BLIND-SPOT
COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (BCA)

While Driving
6-66
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
system may activate the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) in accordance
with a colliding possibility with an
approaching vehicle while changing
lanes. It is to lower the colliding risk or
help mitigate the colliding damage.
WARNING
• Always be aware of road conditions
while driving and be alert for
unexpected situations even though
the Blind-Spot Collision Warning
system and Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist system are
operating.
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning system
and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist system are supplemental
systems to assist you. Always pay
attention, while driving, for your
safety. Do not entirely rely on the
systems or an accident may occur.
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning system
and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist system are not substitutes
for proper and safe driving. Always
drive safely and use caution when
changing lanes or backing up the
vehicle.
Blind-Spot Collision Warning system
and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist system may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.

assist’ is selected. Then, if a vehicle
approaches the driver’s blind spot
area a warning sounds or braking
power is applied.
-BCW turns on and gets ready to
be activated when ‘Warning only’
is selected. Then, if a vehicle
approaches the driver’s blind spot
area a warning sounds. Braking
assist will not be applied in this
setting.

is activated normally. If this setting
feels sensitive change the option to
‘Late’.
The warning activation time may
feel late if a vehicle at the side or
rear abruptly accelerates.
-Late:

WARNING
• The warning light on the side view
mirror will illuminate whenever a
vehicle is detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not focus only
on the warning light and neglect to
see the surrounding of the vehicle.
• Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist system.
Do not solely rely on the system
but check your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
• The system may not alert the driver
in some conditions so always check
your surroundings while driving.
CAUTION
• The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not the
warning light on the side view mirror
illuminates or there is a warning
alarm.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may offset the Blind-
Spot Collision Warning system
warning sounds.
• The warning of Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
sound while other system’s warning
sounds.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
system may apply braking power, when
an approaching vehicle is detected
within a certain distance next to or
behind your vehicle.
It gently applies braking power on the
tire, which is located in the opposite
side of the possibly-colliding point. The
instrument cluster will inform the driver
of the system activation.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
system is automatically deactivated
when:
-The vehicle drives a certain distance
away
-The vehicle direction is changed
against the possible-colliding point
-The steering wheel is abruptly moved
-The brake pedal is depressed
-After a certain period of time
The driver should drive the vehicle in the
middle of the vehicle lanes to keep the
system in the ready status.
When the vehicle drives too close to one
side of the vehicle lanes, the system may
not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not properly
control your vehicle in accordance with
driving situations. Thus, always pay close
attention to road situations.

WARNING
• The driver is responsible for accurate
steering.
• Do not unnecessarily operate the
steering wheel, when Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist system is
in operation.
• Always pay extreme caution while
driving. The Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may not
operate or unnecessarily operate
in accordance with your driving
situations.
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist system is not a substitute
for safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver to
always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
Detecting Sensors
(Front view camera and Rear
corner radar)
„„Front view camera

ODN8069031L
Front view camera
The front view camera is a sensor
detecting the lane. If the sensors are
covered with snow, rain or foreign
substance, the system may temporarily
be cancelled and not work properly
until the system is cancelled due to the
degradation of the sensor’s detection
performance. Always keep the sensor
clean.
