Limitations of High Beam Assist
High Beam Assist may not work properly
in the following situations: •
Light from a vehicle is not detected
because of lamp damage, or because
it is hidden from sight, etc.
• Headlamp of a vehicle is covered with
dust, snow or water.
• A vehicle’s headlamps are off but the
fog lamps are on and etc.
• There is a lamp that has a similar
shape as a vehicle’s lamp.
• Headlamps have been damaged or
not repaired properly.
• Headlamps are not aimed properly.
• Driving on a narrow curved road,
rough road, uphill or downhill.
• Vehicle in front is partially visible on a
crossroad or curved road.
• There is a traffic light, reflecting sign,
flashing sign or mirror ahead.
• There is a temporary reflector or flash
ahead (construction area).
• The road conditions are bad such as
being wet, iced or covered with snow.
• A vehicle suddenly appears from a
curve.
• The vehicle is tilted from a flat tire or
is being towed.
• Light from a vehicle is not detected
because of exhaust fume, smoke, fog,
snow, etc.
NOTICE
For more details on the limitations
of the front view camera, refer to
“Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA)” section in chapter 7.
WARNING
• At times, High Beam Assist may
not work properly. The system is
for your convenience only. It is the
responsibility of the driver for safe
driving practices and always check
the road conditions for your safety.
• When High Beam Assist does
not operate normally, change the headlamp position manually
between high beam and low beam.

Information
• If you install an aftermarket HID
headlamp, your vehicle’s audio and
electronic devices may malfunction.
• Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner,
and air freshener from contacting the
interior parts because they may cause
damage or discoloration.

Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards than
driving in the daylight. Here are some
important tips to remember: • Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare
from other drivers’ headlamps.
• Keep your headlamps clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the
headlamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your eyes
to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or on
slick pavement: • Slow down and allow extra following
distance. A heavy rainfall makes
it harder to see and increases the
distance needed to stop your vehicle.
• Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if equipped)
• Replace your windshield wiper blades
when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
• Be sure your tires have enough tread.
If your tires do not have enough tread,
making a quick stop on wet pavement
can cause a skid and possibly lead to
an accident. See “Tire replacement”
in chapter 9.
• Turn on your headlamps to make it
easier for others to see you.
• Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
• If you believe your brakes may be wet,
apply them lightly while driving until
normal braking operation returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the water.
The best advice is SLOW DOWN when
the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as
the depth of tire tread decreases, refer
to “Tire replacement” in chapter 9.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled
OTM070093N
When the front windshield where the
front view camera is located, front radar
cover, bumper or sensor is covered with
foreign material, such as snow or rain, it
can reduce the detecting performance
and temporarily limit or disable Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs the ‘Forward Safety system
disabled. Camera obscured’ warning message, and the
and warning
lights will illuminate on the cluster.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will
operate normally when snow, rain or
foreign material is removed.
If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate normally after
obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign
material) is removed, we recommend
that the function be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
warning
• even though the warning message or
warning light does not appear on the
cluster, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not properly operate in an
area (e.g. open terrain), where any
substance are not detected after
turning ON the vehicle. Limitations of Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist

Maintenance
9-6
While operating your vehicle: •
Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any increased
steering effort or looseness in the
steering wheel, or change in its
straight-ahead position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns
slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling on smooth, level road.
• When stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your reduction gear
occurs, check the reduction gear fluid
level.
• Check the reduction gear p (park) function.
• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after use is normal).
At least monthly: • Check coolant level in the coolant
reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
• Check the inflation pressures of all
tires including the spare for tires that
are worn, show uneven wear, or are damaged.
• Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
• Do not add regular green coolant. •
At least twice a year:
(i.e., every Spring and Autumn)
• Check radiator, heater and air
conditioning hoses for leaks or damage.
• Check windshield washer spray and
wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with a clean cloth dampened with
washer fluid.
• Check headlamp alignment.
• Check the seat belts for wear and function.
At least once a year: • Clean body and door drain holes.
• Lubricate door hinges and hood hinges.
• Lubricate door and hood locks and
latches.
• Lubricate door rubber weather strips.
• Check the air conditioning system.
• Inspect and lubricate reduction gear
linkage and controls.
• Clean the battery and terminals.
• Check the brake fluid level.
