Collision Warning (2

nd

warning)

This warning message appears on the
LCD display and the head up display
(if equipped) with a warning chime.
Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.

- If a vehicle is detected,  your vehi-

cle speed may decelerate moder-
ately.

Emergency braking 
(3

rd

warning)

This warning message appears on
the LCD display and the head up dis-
play (if equipped) with a warning
chime.

Additionally, some vehicle system
intervention occurs by the engine
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.

- If the detected vehicle in front is

driving slower than 80 km/h (50
mph) your vehicle speed may
decelerate sharply to avoid a col-
lision. If the detected vehicle in
front is driving faster than 80
km/h (50 mph), your vehicle
speed may decelerate moderate-
ly.

- If your vehicle drives slower than

70 km/h (45 mph) with a pedestri-
an in front, the driving speed may
abruptly decrease. When your
vehicle drives faster than 70 km/h
(45 mph) with a pedestrian in
front, the AEB does not operate.

Brake operation

• In an urgent situation, the braking

system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.

• The AEB provides additional brak-

ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.

• The braking control is automatical-

ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator,
or when the driver abruptly oper-
ates the steering wheel.

• The AEB brake control is automat-

ically canceled, when risk factors
disappear.

AEB front radar sensor

In order for the AEB system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
radar sensor cover is clean and free
of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt, snow,
or foreign substances on the lens
may adversely affect the sensing
performance of the radar.

Warning message and warning
light

Auto Emergency Braking disabled.
Radar blocked

When the sensor cover is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, the AEB
system operation may stop tem-
porarily. If this occurs, a warning
message will appear on the LCD dis-
play.

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 AEB system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
or pedestrian 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 the
AEB system.

WARNING

OHI056062

OHI056220L

The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not there
is a warning message or alarm
from the AEB system.

CAUTION

5-65

05

Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor cover before
operating the AEB system.
The AEB may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any substances are not detected
after turning ON the engine.

• Do not apply foreign objects

such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may adversely
affect the sensing performance
of the radar.

• Always keep the radar sensor

and cover clean and free of dirt
and debris.

• Use only a soft cloth to wash the

vehicle. Do not spray pressur-
ized water directly on the sensor
or sensor cover.

• Be careful not to apply unneces-

sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the AEB system may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded prod-
ucts.

• If the front bumper becomes

damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, the AEB system
may not operate properly. We rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized retail-
er of Genesis Branded products.

• Use only Genesis/Hyundai Part

to repair or replace a damaged
sensor or sensor cover. Do not
apply paint to the sensor cover.

System malfunction

Check AEB system

• When the AEB is not working prop-

erly, the AEB warning light (

)

will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
(

) will illuminate. In this case, we

recommend you to have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized retailer
of Genesis Branded products.

• The AEB warning message may

appear along with the illumination
of the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) warning light.

NOTICE

OHI046143L

5-66

Driving your vehicle

(Continued)
• The AEB system operates

only to detect vehicles or
pedestrians in front of the
vehicle.
The AEB system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
The AEB system is not
designed to detect other
objects on the road such as
animals.
The AEB system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
The AEB system cannot
detect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a dead
end street.)
In these cases, you must
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance,

and if necessary,

depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.

• The AEB is only a supplemen-

tal system for the driver's con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on the AEB
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed.

• In certain instances and

under certain driving condi-
tions, the AEB system may
activate prematurely. This ini-
tial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a
warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle or pedestri-
an ahead. The AEB system
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.

• If there is a malfunction with the

AEB system, the autonomous
emergency braking is not
applied even though the brak-
ing system is operating normal-
ly.

Limitations of the system

The Autonomous Emergency Braking
(AEB) system is designed to monitor
the vehicle ahead or a pedestrian in
the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent, and
if necessary, apply emergency brak-
ing.
In certain situations, the radar sensor
or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the AEB sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
AEB operation may be limited.

Detecting vehicles

The sensor may be limited when:
- The radar sensor or camera is

blocked with a foreign object or
debris

- Inclement weather such as heavy

rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera

- There is interference by electro-

magnetic waves

- There is severe irregular reflection

from the radar sensor

- The vehicle in front is too small to

be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)

- The vehicle in front is an oversize

vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)

- The driver's field of view is not well

illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)

- The vehicle in front does not have

their rear lights properly turned ON

- The outside brightness changes

suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel

- The vehicle in front is driving errat-

ically

- Driving on a curve
The performance of the AEB system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
In certain instances on a curved
road, the AEB system may activate
prematurely.
Also, in certain instances the front
radar sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle
traveling on a curved road.
In these cases, the driver must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.

OHI056200

5-68

Driving your vehicle

The AEB system may recognize a
vehicle in the next lane when driving
on a curved road.
In this case, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, while driving. If
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
Also, when necessary depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the sys-
tem from unnecessarily decelerating
your vehicle.

- Driving on a slope
The performance of the AEB
decreases while driving upward or
downward on a slope, not recogniz-
ing the vehicle in front in the same
lane. It may unnecessarily produce
the warning message and the warn-
ing alarm, or it may not produce the
warning message and the warning
alarm at all.
When the AEB suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front while passing
over a slope, you may experience
sharp deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain distance.

OHI056202

OHI056201

- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the AEB system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.

When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the AEB sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

- Detecting the vehicle in front of you
If the vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the cab,
or when the vehicle in front of you
has higher ground clearance, addi-
tional special attention is required.
The AEB system may not be able to
detect the cargo extending from the
vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance
from the rearmost object, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.

Detecting pedestrians 
(if equipped)

The sensor may be limited when:
- The pedestrian is not fully detected

by the camera recognition system,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright

- The pedestrian is moving very

quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
The pedestrian is wearing clothing
that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system

- The outside lighting is too bright

(e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night)

- It is difficult to detect and distin-

guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians or a large crowd

Information 

In some instances, the AEB system
may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.

• Do not use the Autonomous

Emergency Braking system
when towing a vehicle.
Application of the AEB sys-
tem while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle

• Use extreme caution when the

vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.

• The AEB system is designed

to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles,

or smaller

wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.

• Never try to test the operation

of the AEB system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.
