Driving Your Vehicle
Sensor precautions
• If there is impact on or near the radar,
the radar may be damaged or not be
properly aligned near the radar, even
though a warning message does not
appear on the instrument cluster, the
system may not operate properly. We
recommend that your vehicle be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Always keep the sensor and the
surrounding clean.
• Do not install a license plate frame or
other objects such as bumper sticker,
film, bumper guard, or bumper wrap
near the radar.
• Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to
repair the bumper where the radar is
located.
• Smart recuperation system may not
work properly if the bumper has been
replaced, or the surroundings of the
radar has been damaged or painted.
• Do not spray the front radar or the
surrounding area directly with high
pressure water.

Vehicle detection precautions
Detecting vehicle ahead
• The smart recuperation system may not
detect the vehicle ahead or may
suddenly detect the vehicle ahead,
such as when the smart regeneration
system responds slowly, or when
driving uphill, or when driving through a
curve. The regenerative braking
intensity may increase and decelerate
your vehicle.
• Some vehicles in your lane may not be
detected by the sensor:
- 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

front sensors may be unable to
recognize the stopped vehicle.
