Brake operation •
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status for
prompt reaction against the driver’s
depressing the brake pedal.
• FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking
performance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatically
deactivated, when the driver sharply
depresses the accelerator pedal, or
when the driver abruptly operates the
steering wheel.
• FCA brake control is automatically
canceled, when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
• The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there is a
warning message or alarm from FCA
system.
• After the brake control is activated,
the driver must immediately depress
the brake pedal and check the
surroundings. The brake activation
by the system lasts for about 2
seconds.
• If any other warning sound such as
seat belt warning chime is already
generated, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system warning
may not sound.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may prevent occupants
from hearing the system warning sounds.
WARNING
The braking control cannot completely
stop the vehicle nor avoid all
collisions. The driver should hold the
responsibility to safely drive and control
the vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system logic operates within
certain parameters, such as the
distance from the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist (if equipped) ahead, the speed
of the vehicle ahead, and the driver’s
vehicle speed. Certain conditions
such as inclement weather and road
conditions may affect the operation of
FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive dangerously to
activate the system.
Information

Lane Keeping Assist system detect lane
markers on the road with a camera at
the front windshield, 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 warning, while
applying a counter-steering torque,
trying to help prevent the vehicle from
moving out of its lane.
WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist 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 surroundings and steer the
vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Lane Keeping Assist system: • Do not turn the steering wheel
suddenly when the steering wheel is
being assisted by the system.
• LKA system helps to prevent the
driver from moving out of the lane
(or road) 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.
• The operation of LKA system can
be cancelled or not work properly
according to road condition and
surroundings. Always be cautious when driving.
• Do not disassemble LKA system
camera temporarily to tint the
window or attach any types of
coatings and accessories. If you
disassemble the camera and
assemble it again, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system checked
for calibration.
• When you replace the windshield
glass, LKA system camera or related
parts of the steering wheel, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the system
checked for calibration.
• The system detects lane markers
and controls the steering wheel
by a camera, therefore, if the lane
markers are hard to detect, the
system may not work properly.
Please refer to “Limitations of the
S y s t e m ”.
• Do not remove or damage the related
parts of LKA system.
• You may not hear a warning sound
of LKA system if the audio volume is high.

•
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. This may
prevent LKA system from functioning
properly.
• Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while LKA system is
activated. If you continue to drive
with your hands off the steering
wheel after the “Keep hands on
steering wheel” warning message
appears, the system will stop
controlling the steering wheel.
• The steering wheel is not
continuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher rate
when leaving a lane the vehicle may
not be controlled by the system. The
driver must always follow the speed
limit when using the system.
• If you attach objects to the steering
wheel, the system may not assist
steering or the hands off alarm may
not work properly.
