Smart Regeneration System
Operating Condition
When the regenerative braking level is
displayed as AUTO and the vehicle speed
is above 6 mph (10 km/h), the system
automatically controls the regenerative
braking level under the following
conditions:
• The road gradient changes
• Distance from the vehicle ahead reduces or increases • Speed of the vehicle ahead reduces or
increases
CAUTION • When the forward safety warning light is ON, the smart regeneration system
does not work properly. Depress the
brake pedal for deceleration.
• The function that adjusts the regenerative braking intensity
depending on the road gradient is only
effective when the regenerative
braking level is 0. Braking intensity
does not significantly change
depending on the road gradient if the
regenerative braking level is 1 or above.

(2) Front corner radar
Front sensors recognize the distance
from the vehicle ahead to control the
regenerative braking intensity. If the
sensor is covered with snow, rain, or other
foreign substances, the performance of
the sensors may deteriorate, and the
smart regeneration system may turn off.
Always keep the sensors clean.
System Check Message
B6003101
When the front radar is covered or
blocked, the smart regeneration system
may be temporarily disabled. The 'Check

If the smart regeneration system does not
operate normally after the sensor has
been uncovered or unblocked, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Smart Regeneration System
Precautions
• Always monitor the distance to vehicles ahead on the road. The smart
regeneration system is not a substitute
for safe driving practices, but a
supplemental function only.
• Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead and adjust your
vehicle speed to the road conditions.
The smart regeneration system may not
recognize unexpected and sudden
situations or complex driving
situations.
General precautions
• Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead and adjust your
vehicle speed depending on the road
conditions.
• Always prepare for unexpected situations and depress the brake pedal
to decelerate when necessary. The
smart regeneration system cannot
react to pedestrians, vehicles making a
sudden stop and vehicles coming from
the opposite lane.
• If the vehicle ahead frequently changes the lane, keep your eyes forward to be
prepared for hazardous situations. In
this case, the smart regeneration
system may respond late and may
inappropriately respond to vehicle
movements from the side lanes.
• The driver must depress the brake pedal when stopping the vehicle.
• Depress the brake pedal to decelerate in the following conditions when: - The front part of the vehicle is lifted
up because of the cargo loaded on
the rear part of the vehicle.
- You are operating the steering wheel.
- You are not driving in the center of the lane.
- You are driving on a narrow or curved road.
• The smart regeneration system may be temporarily turn off when exposed to
strong electromagnetic waves.
• If the vehicle starts coasting near the speed camera and engages the brake
with the smart regeneration system,
the vehicle may not be able to keep the
speed limit. Always comply with the
road and traffic law.
Sensor precautions
• Never disassemble the radar or radar assembly, and never apply any impact
on it.
• If there is impact on or near the radar, the sensors may be damaged or not be
properly aligned near the radar, even
though a warning message does not
appear on the instrument cluster, the
Smart Regeneration System may not
operate properly. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• If the radars have been replaced or repaired, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only genuine parts to repair the bumper where the radar is located.
• Do not install a license plate frame or other objects such as bumper sticker,
film, bumper guard, or bumper wrap
near the radar.
• The Smart Regeneration System may not work properly if the bumper has
been replaced, or the surroundings of
the radar has been damaged or
painted.
