Introduction
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 1,000 km you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
Whilst driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
Don't tow a trailer during the first
2,000 km of operation.

The system may not work prop-
erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some-
what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane
OR when the road is wide, the
system may not detect other
vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
Detecting sensor
The sensors are located inside the
rear bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for proper operation of the system.
Warning message
BCW (Blind-Spot Collision Warning)
system disabled. Radar blocked
This warning message may appear
when :
- One or both of the sensors on the
rear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the
BCW sensor does not detect
another vehicle for an extended
period of time.
- When there is inclement weather
such as heavy snow or rain.
- A trailer or carrier is installed. To
use the BCW system, remove the
trailer or carrier from your vehicle.
NOTICE
(Continued)
The Blind-spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system and
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
warning (RCCW) are not a sub-
stitute for proper and safe driv-
ing practices. Always drive
safely and use caution when
changing lanes or reversing
your vehicle. The Blind-spot
Collision Warning (BCW) sys-
tem may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.

Driving your vehicle
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
When the BCW cancelled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the BCW system should operate nor-
mally after about 10 minutes of driv-
ing the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Turn off the system by pressing the
BCW switch and deselecting Rear
Cross Traffic Collision Warning
(RCCW) from the User Settings mode
on the cluster, when using a trailer or
carrier behind your vehicle.
Check BCW (Blind-spot Collision
Warning) system
If there is a problem with the BCW
system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch
will turn off. The system will turn off
automatically. We recommend that
you have your vehicle inspected by
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Non-operating condition
The BCW indicator on the outer
side view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
The outside rearview mirror hous-
ing is damaged.
The mirror is covered with dirt,
snow, or debris.
The window is covered with dirt,
snow, or debris.
The window is tinted.

Limitations of the system
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
The vehicle drives on a bend or
through a tollgate.
The vehicle is turning left or right at
a crossroads.
The sensor is polluted with rain,
snow, mud, etc.
The rear bumper where the sensor
is located is covered with a foreign
object such as a bumper sticker, a
bumper guard, a bike rack, etc.
The rear bumper is damaged, or
the sensor is out of the original
default position.
The vehicle height gets lower or
higher due to heavy loading in the
luggage compartment, abnormal
tyre pressure, etc.
The vehicle drives in inclement
weather such as heavy rain or

vehicle, such as a guardrail, per-
son, animal, etc.

with few vehicles or structures
around, such as a desert, rural
area, etc.

Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a pedes-
trian on the roadway through radar
signals and camera recognition to
warn the driver that a collision is immi-
nent, and if necessary, apply emer-
gency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
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
There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor
The radar/camera sensor recogni-
tion is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
The driver's field of view is not well
illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)
The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights turned ON
The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
Light coming from a street light or
an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle on the road
The field of view in front is
obstructed by sun glare The windscreen glass is fogged
up; a clear view of the road is
obstructed
The vehicle in front is driving errat-
ically
The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
The vehicle drives inside a build-
ing, such as a basement parking
lot
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations whilst
driving
The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
The vehicle in front is moving verti-
cally to the driving direction
The vehicle in front is stopped ver-
tically
The vehicle in front is driving
towards your vehicle or reversing
You are on roundabouts and the
vehicle in front circles

Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem helps detect lane markers on the
road with a camera at the front wind-
screen, 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 warn-
ing, whilst applying a slight counter-
steering torque, to try to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
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 sur-
rounding and steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA) system:
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKA system helps to prevent
the driver from moving out of
the lane 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.
(Continued)
WARNING
When you are towing a trailer,
make sure to turn off the LKA
system.
