System Malfunction

Check smart recuperation system
OOSEV040521L
The message will appear when the
system is not functioning normally. The
system will be canceled and the word
'AUTO' on the cluster display will
disappear and instead display
regenerative braking level. Check for
foreign substances on the front radar.
Remove any dirt, snow, or foreign
material that could interfere with the
radar sensors. If the system still does not
operate normally, take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked.

Limitations of the System

The Smart Recuperation System may not
operate properly in certain situations
when the driving condition is beyond the
performance of the front radar sensor.
Driver's attention is required in such
cases when the system does not react
properly or operate unintentionally.
On curves
OTM058117
When coasting on the curve, the system
may not detect the vehicle in your lane
and the regenerative braking level will
reduce automatically, making you feel
that the vehicle is accelerating.
Also, if the system suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front, the regenerative
braking level will increase automatically,
making you feel that the vehicle is
decelerating.
The driver must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving speed
in order to maintain a safe distance.
