Hyundai Sonata: Automatic emergency braking (AEB) / System malfunction

• When the AEB is not working properly, the AEB warning light () will illuminate and the warning message will appear for a few seconds. After the message disappears, the master warning light () will illuminate. In this case, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• The AEB warning message may appear along with the illumination of the ESC warning light.

WARNING

• The AEB is only a supplemental system for the driver’s convenience. The driver should hold the responsibility to control the vehicle operation. Do not solely depend on the AEB system. Rather, maintain a safe braking distance, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce the driving speed.
• In certain instances and under certain driving conditions, the AEB system may activate prematurely. This initial warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning chime. Also, in certain instances the front radar sensor or camera recognition system may not detect the vehicle or pedestrian ahead. The AEB system may not activate and the warning message will not be displayed.
• If there is a malfunction with the AEB system, the automatic emergency braking is not applied even though the braking system is operating normally.
• The AEB system operates only to help detect vehicles or pedestrians in front of the vehicle. The AEB system does not operate when the vehicle is in reverse. The AEB system is not designed to detect other objects on the road such as animals. The AEB system does not detect cross traffic vehicles that are approaching. The AEB system cannot detect the driver approaching the side view of a parked vehicle (for example on a dead end street.)
  In these cases, you must maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce the driving speed in order to maintain a safe distance.
