When Intelligent Front-Lighting System does not work properly, the "Check Driver Assistance system." warning message may appear for a few seconds on the instrument cluster. After the message disappears, the AFS and X warning lights illuminate on the instrument cluster. We recommend that the system be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

When the front view camera is covered or blocked, the Intelligent Front-Lighting System may temporarily not work properly. The "Driver Assistance system limited. Camera obscured." warning message may appear on the instrument cluster.

The system operates normally when such foreign material is removed.

  • Intelligent Front-Lighting System may not operate properly even if there is no warning message or warning light on the instrument cluster.

  • Intelligent Front-Lighting System may not operate properly in open areas where no objects are detected (for example, empty parking lot) or when the detecting sensors are blocked right after turning on the engine.
