Always maintain a safety distance from the vehicle ahead, and adjust your vehicle speed depending on the road conditions.

Always prepare for unexpected situations and depress the brake pedal to decelerate when necessary. The smart regeneration system cannot react to pedestrians, vehicles making a sudden stop, and vehicles coming from the opposite lane.

If the vehicle ahead frequently changes the lane, keep your eyes forward to be prepared for hazardous situations. In this case, the smart regeneration system may respond late and may inappropriately response to vehicle movements from the side lanes.

The driver must depress the brake pedal when stopping the vehicle.

Depress the brake pedal to decelerate in the following conditions when:

• The front part of the vehicle is lifted up because of the cargo loaded on the rear part of the vehicle.

• You are operating the steering wheel.

• You are not driving in the center of the lane.

• You are driving on a that is too narrow or too curved.

The smart regeneration system may be temporarily turn off when exposed to strong electromagnetic waves.

Make sure that no physical impact is applied to the sensor or its surroundings. If the sensor is dislocated due to the shock, the system may not work properly and the instrument cluster may not display any warnings. If the sensor is exposed to physical impacts, we recommend that you visit an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for inspection.

The sensors and its surroundings, the sensor covers, and the vehicle grille should always be kept clean.

Do not attach any accessories such as molding or stickers on the sensor and its detection range, or change the vehicle grille. It may affect sensor performance.

Always use genuine parts for the sensor cover, and do not paint it.

Use soft fabric to prevent damage to the sensor cover when washing the car.

Do not spray the sensor or the surrounding with high pressure water.

The front sensors may suddenly recognize the foregoing vehicle when the smart regeneration system reacts slowly, or the vehicle is going through the end of a slope or curve. In this case, the regenerative braking intensity is increased and the vehicle may slow down.

The front sensors may be unable to recognize the vehicle ahead in the following situations even if it is on the same lane.

• Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles

• Vehicles offset to one side

• Slow-moving vehicles or sudden decelerating vehicles

• Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads

When the vehicle in front of the foregoing vehicle is at a stop and the foregoing vehicle changes the lane, the front sensors may be unable to recognize the stopped vehicle.

The front sensors may be unable to recognize the foregoing vehicle if you are coasting on a curve. The regenerative braking intensity may automatically be lowered, which may accelerate the vehicle.

On a curved road, the front sensors may recognize the vehicles on the other lane as the foregoing vehicle of the same lane. It may increase the regenerative braking intensity and the vehicle may decelerate. Check the surroundings and depress the accelerator to prevent unnecessary reduce of speed.

If the front sensors suddenly recognize the vehicle ahead, regenerative braking intensity may rise and the vehicle may decelerate.

When the vehicle is coasting through the end of a slope or where the gradient is changing, the front sensors may be unable to recognize, or may suddenly recognize the vehicle ahead. It may adjust the regenerative braking intensity and change the vehicle speed.

When driving up or down the slope, check for the surroundings and depress the brake pedal to decelerate.

If a vehicle [B] on the next lane is moving into the front of your vehicle [A], the front sensors can only recognize the vehicle when it is completely inside the detection range.

The front sensors may recognize the vehicles late that intervene suddenly.
