Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction and limitations
B0314EU01
When Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is not working properly, the "Check Forward Safety system" warning message may appear, and the
and
warning lights may illuminate on the instrument cluster. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
B0314EU02
When the front view camera or front radar is covered or blocked, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may be temporarily limited or disabled.
The "Forward Safety system disabled. Camera obscured" and "Forward Safety system disabled. Radar blocked" warning messages may appear, and the
and
warning lights may illuminate on the instrument cluster.
The function operates normally when such foreign material is removed, and the engine is restarted.
If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate normally after the sensor has been uncovered or unblocked, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

OCN7073203
OADAS017SD
OADAS019SD

OADAS011SD
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not detect other vehicles, powered two-wheelers, pedestrians or cyclists 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 needed.
Also, vehicle speed may rapidly decrease when a vehicle, powered two-wheeler, pedestrian or cyclist ahead is suddenly detected. Always maintain a safe distance from the others on the road. Adjust your vehicle speed or steer your vehicle depending on the road conditions.
-

- Lane changing vehicle
When a vehicle moves into your lane from an adjacent lane, it cannot be detected by the sensor until it is within the sensor's detection range. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not immediately detect the vehicle when the vehicle changes lanes suddenly.
Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead. Adjust your vehicle speed or steer your vehicle depending on the road conditions.
OADAS031SD
- Your vehicle
- Lane changing vehicle
- Same lane vehicle
When a vehicle in front of you departs the lane, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not immediately detect another vehicle in your lane of travel.
Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead. Adjust your vehicle speed or steer your vehicle depending on the road conditions.

-
When you are towing a trailer or another vehicle, turn off Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
-
