SMART RECUPERATION SYSTEM  
The Smart Recuperation System controls  
the regenerative braking automatically  
according to the road gradient and  
driving condition of the vehicle in front.  
The system minimises the unnecessary  
operation of the brake and acceleration  
pedal, improving the electric energy  
efficiency and assisting the driver.  
To activate smart recuperation  
system  
Smart recuperation system  
setting  
Pull and hold the right side paddle shifter  
for over 1 second to turn on and off the  
automatic change of the regenerative  
braking.  
ONE1041017  
When Smart Recuperation System  
is On in the infotainment system,  
‘AUTO’ for the regenerative braking  
level is displayed on the cluster. The  
regenerative braking level is controlled  
automatically when vehicle speed is  
above 10 km/h and one of the condition  
below is met.  
- The road gradient changes  
- Distance from the vehicle ahead reduces  
or increases  
- Speed of the vehicle ahead reduces or  
increases

WARNING  
When vehicle speed is under 10 km/h,  
the Smart Recuperation System is  
cancelled. The driver must adjust  
the vehicle speed by depressing the  
accelerator or brake pedal according to  
the road condition ahead and driving  
condition.  
Smart Recuperation System relies  
on front view camera in the vehicle.  
Foreign substances on the front view  
camera may cause the malfunction of  
Smart Recuperation System. Be sure to  
maintain clear view for the front view  
camera.  
The Smart Recuperation System will not  
operate when the Forward Collision-  
Avoidance Assist (FCA) system warning  
light on the cluster. The driver must  
adjust the vehicle speed by depressing  
the accelerator or brake pedal  
according to the road condition ahead  
and driving condition.

How to operate  
Smart recuperation system will  
be temporarily cancelled when:  
śꢀ Cancelled manually  
Pulling and holding the right side  
paddle shifter for more than 1 second.  
The Smart Recuperation System turns  
off temporarily and “AUTO” will be  
replaced with regenerative braking  
level indicator.  
śꢀ Cancelled automatically  
- The vehicle is shifted to N (Neutral),  
R (Reverse) or P (Park).  
ONE1041017  
- Cruise Control system (including  
Smart Cruise Control system) is in  
activation.  
- The ESC (Electronic Stability  
Control) or ABS is operating.  
Pulling the paddle-shift (  
) for 1 or  
more seconds, the smart recuperation  
system will operate. The indicator of the  
regenerative braking will be changed to  
'AUTO' from the level indicator.

CAUTION  
śꢀ Do not apply licence plate frame or  
foreign objects such as a bumper  
sticker or a bumper guard near the  
radar sensor. Doing so may adversely  
affect the sensing performance of  
the radar.  
śꢀ Always keep the radar sensor and  
lens cover clean and free of dirt and  
debris.  
śꢀ Use only a soft cloth to wash the  
vehicle. Do not spray pressurised  
water directly on the sensor or  
sensor cover.

For detail location of sensor, refer to the picture

In order for the Smart Recuperation  
System to operate properly, always make  
sure the radar sensor cover is clean and  
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt, snow,  
or foreign substances on the lens may  
adversely affect the sensing performance  
of the sensor. In this case, the system  
operation may stop temporarily and not  
operate normally.

the Smart Recuperation System  
may not operate correctly. In this  
case, a warning message may not  
be displayed. We recommend that  
the vehicle be inspected by an  
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.  
śꢀ If the front bumper becomes  
damaged in the area around the  
radar sensor, the Smart Recuperation  
System may not operate properly.  
We recommend that the vehicle be  
inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI  
dealer.  
śꢀ Use only genuine parts or the  
equivalent specified for your vehicle  
to repair or replace a damaged  
sensor or sensor cover. Do not apply  
paint to the sensor cover.

On curves  
System malfunction  
OTM058117  
OOSEV040521L  
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 recognises  
the vehicle in front, the regenerative  
braking level will increase automatically,  
making you feel that the vehicle is  
decelerating.  
Check smart recuperation system  
The message will appear when the  
system is not functioning normally. The  
system will be cancelled and the word  
'AUTO' on the cluster 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, we  
recommend that you take your vehicle to  
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer and have  
the system checked.  
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.  
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.  
OTM058073  
Your vehicle speed can be reduced due  
to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.  
Apply the accelerator pedal and select  
the appropriate speed. Check to be sure  
that the road conditions permit safe  
operation of the Smart Recuperation  
System.

On inclines  
Lane changing  
ONE1071209  
OTM058074  
When coasting on an uphill or downhill,  
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 recognises  
the vehicle in front, the regenerative  
braking level will increase automatically,  
making you feel that the vehicle is  
decelerating.  
śꢀ A vehicle which moves into your lane  
from an adjacent lane cannot be  
recognised by the sensor until it is in  
the sensor's detection range.  
śꢀ The radar may not detect immediately  
when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.  
Always pay attention to the traffic,  
road and driving conditions.  
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.

Vehicle recognition  
WARNING  
When using the Smart Recuperation  
System take the following precautions:  
śꢀ If an emergency stop is necessary,  
you must apply the brakes.  
śꢀ Keep a safe distance according to  
road conditions and vehicle speed. If  
the vehicle to vehicle distance is too  
close during a high-speed driving, a  
serious collision may result.  
śꢀ Always maintain sufficient braking  
distance and decelerate your vehicle  
by applying the brakes if necessary.  
śꢀ The Smart Recuperation System  
cannot recognise a stopped vehicle,  
pedestrians or an oncoming vehicle.  
Always look ahead cautiously to  
prevent unexpected and sudden  
situations from occurring.  
śꢀ Vehicles moving in front of you with  
a frequent lane changes may cause  
a delay in the system's reaction or  
may cause the system to react to a  
vehicle actually in an adjacent lane.  
Always drive cautiously to prevent  
unexpected and sudden situations  
from occurring.  
śꢀ The Smart Recuperation System  
may not recognise complex driving  
situations so always pay attention to  
driving conditions and control your  
vehicle speed.  
OJX1070181R  
Some vehicles in your lane cannot be  
recognised by the sensor:  
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or  
bicycles  
- Vehicles offset to one side  
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-  
decelerating vehicles  
- Stopped vehicles (When the vehicle  
ahead drives away, the system may not  
detect a stopped vehicle.)  
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as  
trailers with no loads  
A vehicle ahead cannot be recognised  
correctly by the sensor if any of following  
occurs:  
- When the vehicle is pointing upwards  
due to overloading in the luggage  
compartment.  
- Whilst the steering wheel is operating.  
- When driving to one side of the lane.  
NOTICE  
The Smart Recuperation System may  
not operate temporarily due to:  
- When driving on narrow lanes or on  
curves.  
śꢀ Electrical interference  
śꢀ Modifying the suspension  
- Apply the brake or accelerator pedal if  
necessary.  
śꢀ Differences of tyre abrasion or tyre  
pressure  
śꢀ Installing different type of tyres
