WARNING

[Even if there is a problem with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate normally.

[ During emergency braking, braking
control by Forward Collsion-
Avoidance Assist will automatically
cancel when the driver excessively
depresses the accelerator pedal or
sharply steers the vehicle.
CAUTION

[Depending on the condition of the
vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist in
front and the surroundings, the
speed range to operate Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may
reduce. Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may only warn the driver, or it
may not operate.

[ Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operating speed range may
reduce due to the conditions of
the vehicle or pedestrian in front
or surroundings. Depending on the
speed, the system may only warn
the driver, or the system may not
operate.
Information
In a situation where collision is imminent,
braking may be assisted by Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist when braking
is insufficient by the driver.

OADAS003OADAS002
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not detect other vehicles
or pedestrians in front of you 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 curve, 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.

CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensor:

[Never disassemble the detecting
sensor or sensor assembly, or apply
any impact on it.

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

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

[ Pay extreme caution to keep the
front view camera dry.

[ Never place any reflective objects
(for example, white paper, mirror)
over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may prevent Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist from
functioning properly.

[ Do not apply license plate frame or
objects, such as a bumper sticker,
film or a bumper guard, near the
front radar cover.

[ Always keep the front radar and
cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
[
If unnecessary force has been
applied to the radar or around the
radar, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not properly operate even
though a warning message does not
appear on the cluster. The vehicle is
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

[ Use only genuine parts to repair or
replace a damaged front radar cover.
Do not apply paint to the front radar
cover.

WARNING

[For your safety, change the Settings
after parking the vehicle at a safe
location.

[ With ‘Active assist’ or ‘Warning Only’
selected, when ESC is turned off by
pressing and holding the ESC OFF
button, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist will turn off automatically.
In this case, Forward Collsion-
Avoidance Assist cannot be set
from the Settings menu and the

warning light will illuminate on the
cluster which is normal. If ESC is
turned on by pressing the ESC OFF
button, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist will maintain the last setting.

[ Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
does not operate in all situations or
cannot avoid all collisions.

[ The driver is fully responsible for
controlling the vehicle. Do not
solely depend on Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist. Rather, maintain
a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce driving speed or to stop
the vehicle.

[ Never deliberately operate Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist on people,
animal, objects, etc. It may cause
serious injury or death.

[ Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate if the driver
depresses the brake pedal to avoid
collision.
[
Depending on the road and driving
conditions, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may warn the driver
late or may not warn the driver.

[ During Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operation, the vehicle may
stop suddenly injuring passengers
and shifting loose objects. Always
have the seat belt on and keep loose
objects secured.

[ If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or audible
warning is generated, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
message may not be displayed
and audible warning may not be
generated.

[ You may not hear the warning sound
of Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist if the surrounding is noisy.

[ Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may turn off or may not
operate properly or may operate
unnecessarily depending on the road
conditions and the surroundings.

[Even if there is a problem with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking
performance will operate properly.

[ Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
will operate under certain conditions
by judging the risk level based on
the condition of the oncoming
vehicle, driving direction, speed and
surroundings.
