VSM operation
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which ma
y activate ESC, you
may hear sounds from the brakes, or feel
a corresponding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means your
VSM is active.
Information
VSM does not operate when:

[ Driving through banked corners might
result in a ESC system shut down,
due to system self-diagnostics and an
assumption of a sensor failure. In the
next ignition cycle, the ESC system is
available again.

[ Driving in reverse.

[ The ESC OFF indicator light is on.

[ The EPS (Electric power steering)
warning light (
) is on or blinks.
VSM OFF condition
To cancel VSM operation, press the ESC
OFF butt

on. ESC OFF () indicator light
will illuminate.
To turn on VSM, press the ESC OFF
button again. The ESC OFF indicator light
will go out.
WARNING
If the ESC () indicator light or EPS
() warning light stays illuminated
or blinks, your vehicle may have a
malfunction with the VSM system.
When the warning light illuminates
have the vehicle be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
Driving with wheels and tires with
different sizes may cause the VSM
system to malfunction. Before replacing
tires, make sure all four tires and wheels
are the same size. Never drive the
vehicle with different sized tires and
wheels installed.

N Power Shift
OOSN061029L
When the driver depresses the
accelerator pedal fully (100%) in N mode
for faster acceleration, it controls by (up-
) shifting with minimal energy loss.
N Power Shift can be deactivated by
pressing 'Activate' on the screen. When
N Power Shift is deactivated, vehicle
shifting is similar to normal shifting.
However, it is activated when the engine
is restarted.
N Road Sense
N Road Sense is the function that
suggests the driver to use the N mode
when a double curved sign is sensed.
Detecting sensor
OOSN051017N[1] : Front view camera
The front view camera is used as a
detecting sensor to detect a double
curved sign.
Refer to the picture above for the
detailed location of the detecting sensor.
CAUTION
For more details on the precautions
of the front view camera, refer to
“Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA)” section in chapter 7.

Driver Assistance System7-2
OTM070237
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is
designed to help detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in
the roadway. It will warn the driver that
a collision is imminent with a warning
message, and an audible warning. It may
apply emergency braking as needed.
Detecting sensor
OOSN051017N[1] : Front view camera
Refer to the picture above for the
detailed location of the detecting sensor.
CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensor:

[ Never disassemble the detecting
sensor or sensor assembly, or cause
any damage to it.

[ If the detecting sensor has been
replaced or repaired, have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

[ Never install any accessories or
stickers on the front windshield, or
tint the front windshield.

OTM070093N
When the front windshield where the
front view camera is located or the
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.

message, and the
and warning
lights will illuminate on the cluster.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will
operate properly when such snow, rain or
foreign material is removed.
If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate properly after
obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign
material) is removed, have the vehicle
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
(for example, open terrain), where
any objects are not detected after
turning ON the engine.
Limitations of Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may
not operate properly, or it may operate
unexpectedly under the following
circumstances:

[The detecting sensor or the
surroundings are contaminated or
damaged

[ The temperature around the front
view camera is high or low due to
surrounding environment

[ The camera lens is contaminated due
to tinted, filmed or coated windshield,
damaged glass, or sticky foreign
material (sticker, bug, etc.) on the
glass

[ Moisture is not removed or frozen on
the windshield

[ Washer fluid is continuously sprayed,
or the wiper is on

[ Driving in heavy rain or snow, or thick
fog

[ The field of view of the front view
camera is obstructed by sun glare

[ Street light or light from an oncoming
traffic is reflected on the wet road
surface, such as a puddle on the road

[ An object is placed on the dashboard

[ Your vehicle is being towed

[ The surrounding is very bright

[ The surrounding is very dark, such as
in a tunnel, etc.

[ The brightness changes suddenly, for
example when entering or exiting a
tunnel

[ The brightness outside is low, and the
headlamps are not on or are not bright

Driver Assistance System7-10

[ There is a group of pedestrians or a
large crowd in front

[ The pedestrian is wearing clothing
that easily blends into the
background, making it difficult to
detect

[ The pedestrian is difficult to
distinguish from the similarly shaped
structure in the surroundings

[ You are driving by a pedestrian,
traffic sign, structure, etc., near the
intersection

[ Driving in a parking lot

[ Driving through a tollgate,
construction area, unpaved road,
partial paved road, uneven road,
speed bumps, etc.

[ Driving on an incline road, curved
road, etc.

[ Driving through a roadside with trees
or streetlights

[ The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving

[ Your vehicle height is low or high
due to heavy loads, abnormal tire
pressure, etc.

[ Driving through a narrow road where
trees or grass or overgrown

[ There is interference by
electromagnetic waves such as
driving in an area with strong radio
waves or electrical noise WARNING

[Driving on a curved road
OADAS003OADAS002
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles or
pedestrians in front of you when
driving on curved roads adversely
affecting the performance of the
sensors. This may result in no
warning or braking assist when
necessary.
When driving on a curved road,
you must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary, steer the
vehicle and depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.

7-11
OADAS006OADAS005
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may detect a vehicle or pedestrian
in the next lane or outside the lane
when driving on a curved road.
If this occurs, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may unnecessarily
warn the driver and control the
brake. Always check the traffic
conditions around the vehicle.
[
Driving on an inclined roadOADAS009
OADAS007
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles or
pedestrians in front of you while
driving uphill or downhill adversely
affecting the performance of the
sensors.
This may result in unnecessary
warning or braking assist, or no
warning or braking assist when
necessary.
Also, vehicle speed may rapidly
decrease when a vehicle or
pedestrian ahead is suddenly
detected.
Always have your eyes on the road
while driving uphill or downhill and
if necessary, steer the vehicle and
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

[ Changing lanes
OADAS032[A] : Your vehicle,
[B] : Lane changing vehicle
When a vehicle moves into your lane
from an adjacent lane, it cannot
be detected by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not immediately detect the
vehicle when the vehicle changes
lanes abruptly. In this case, you must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, steer the vehicle
and depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
OADAS033[A] : Your vehicle,
[B] : Lane changing vehicle,
[C] : Same lane vehicle
When a vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
immediately detect the vehicle that
is now in front of you.
In this case, you must maintain a safe
braking distance, and if necessary,
steer the vehicle and depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe
distance.
