Limitations of the System
Forward Collision avoidance assist
system is designed to monitor the
vehicle ahead or a pedestrian or cyclist
in the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent, and if
necessary, apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sensor
or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist
ahead. In these cases, FCA system may
not operate normally. The driver must
pay careful attention in the following
situations where FCA operation may be
limited.
While Driving

6-54
• The pedestrian or cyclist is not fully
detected by the camera recognition
system, for example, if the pedestrian
is leaning over or is not fully walking
upright
• The pedestrian or cyclist is moving
very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
• The pedestrian or cyclist is wearing
clothing that easily blends into the
background, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recognition
system
• The outside lighting is too bright (e.g.
when driving in bright sunlight or
in sun glare) or too dark (e.g. when
driving on a dark rural road at night)
• It is difficult to detect and distinguish
the pedestrian or cyclist from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians, cyclists or a large crowd
• There is an item similar to a person’s
body structure
• The pedestrian or cyclist is small
• The pedestrian has impaired mobility
• The sensor recognition is limited •
The radar sensor or camera is blocked
with a foreign object or debris
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain
or snow obscures the field of view of
the radar sensor or camera
• When light coming from a street light
or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a puddle in
the road
• The field of view in front is obstructed
by sun glare
• The windshield glass is fogged up; a
clear view of the road is obstructed
• The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
• The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a speed
bump
• You are on a roundabout
• The pedestrian or cyclist suddenly
interrupts in front of the vehicle
• The cyclist in front is riding intersected
with the driving direction
• There is any other electromagnetic
interference
• The construction area, rail or other
metal object is near the cyclist
• The bicycle material is not reflected
well on the radar

Lane Keeping Assist system detect lane
markers on the road with a camera at
the front windshield, and assists the
driver’s steering to help keep the vehicle
between lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the driver
with a visual and audible warning, while
applying a counter-steering torque,
trying to help prevent the vehicle from
moving out of its lane.
WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist system is not a
substitute for safe driving practices, but
a convenience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to always be
aware of the surroundings and steer the
vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Lane Keeping Assist system:
• Do not turn the steering wheel
suddenly when the steering wheel is
being assisted by the system.
• LKA system helps to prevent the
driver from moving out of the lane
(or road) unintentionally by assisting
the driver’s steering. However, the
driver should not solely rely on the
system but always pay attention on
the steering wheel to stay in the lane.
• The operation of LKA system can
be cancelled or not work properly
according to road condition and
surroundings. Always be cautious
when driving.
• Do not disassemble LKA system
camera temporarily to tint the
window or attach any types of
coatings and accessories. If you
disassemble the camera and
assemble it again, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system checked
for calibration.

• When you replace the windshield
glass, LKA system camera or related
parts of the steering wheel, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the system
checked for calibration.
• The system detects lane markers
and controls the steering wheel
by a camera, therefore, if the lane
markers are hard to detect, the
system may not work properly.
Please refer to “Limitations of the
S y s t e m ”.
• Do not remove or damage the related
parts of LKA system.
• You may not hear a warning sound
of LKA system if the audio volume is
high.
• Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. This may
prevent LKA system from functioning
properly. •
Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while LKA system is
activated. If you continue to drive
with your hands off the steering
wheel after the “Keep hands on
steering wheel” warning message
appears, the system will stop
controlling the steering wheel.
• The steering wheel is not
continuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher rate
when leaving a lane the vehicle may
not be controlled by the system. The
driver must always follow the speed
limit when using the system.
• If you attach objects to the steering
wheel, the system may not assist
steering or the hands off alarm may
not work properly.
