When Driver Attention Warning is not working properly, the 'Check driver assistance system' warning message will appear on the cluster for several seconds, and the master (X) warning light and the inattentive driving (W) warning light will appear on the instrument cluster. If this occurs, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

2C_DriverAssistanceLimitedCamera

When the front windshield where the front view camera is located is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Driver Attention Warning. If this occurs, the 'Driver assistance system limited. Camera blocked' warning message, the master (X) warning light, and the inattentive driving (W) warning light will appear on the instrument cluster. Driver Attention Warning will operate properly when snow, rain or foreign material is removed. If Driver Attention Warning does not operate properly after it is removed, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

  • Driver Attention Warning may not properly operate in an area (for example, open terrain) where any objects are not detected right after turning ON the vehicle.

  • If the vehicle is turned off and restarted while the camera is blocked or malfunctioned, the condition is maintained. Therefore, Driver Attention Warning may not operate properly.

Limitations of Driver Attention Warning

Driver Attention Warning may not work properly in the following situations:

  • The vehicle is driven violently

  • The vehicle intentionally crosses over lanes frequently

  • The vehicle is controlled by Driver Assistance system, such as Lane Keeping Assist
