Check the Driver Attention Warning (DAW) System

Hyundai Ioniq. System Malfunction

If a warning message appears, the system is not operating properly. In this case, have the vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

  • The Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system does not replace safe driving practices; it is only a convenience feature. It is the driver's responsibility to always drive carefully to prevent unexpected and sudden situations. Always pay attention to road conditions.
  • The system may suggest a break depending on the driver's driving style or habits, even if the driver does not feel tired.
  • A driver who feels tired should take a break, even if the DAW system does not suggest one.

NOTICE

The Driver Attention Warning system uses a camera sensor mounted on the upper part of the windshield to operate. To keep the camera sensor in the best condition, observe the following:

  • NEVER install any accessories or stickers on the windshield, or tint the windshield.
  • NEVER place any reflective objects (such as white paper or a mirror) on the instrument panel. Any light reflection may cause the Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system to malfunction.
  • Be extremely careful to keep the camera sensor from getting wet.
  • NEVER disassemble the camera assembly or strike the camera assembly.

CAUTION

The Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system may not operate correctly with limited warning in the following situations:

  • Lane detection performance is limited. (For more details, refer to the "Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) System" section in this chapter.)
  • The vehicle moves abruptly or turns sharply to avoid an obstacle (e.g., construction site, other vehicles, fallen objects, bumpy road).
  • Front steering performance of the vehicle is severely impaired (possibly due to large tire pressure differences, uneven tire wear, or wheel alignment).
  • The vehicle is driving on a winding road.
  • The vehicle is driving on a bumpy road.
  • The vehicle is driving in a windy area.
  • The vehicle is being controlled by the following assist systems:
    - Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
    - Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
    - Smart Cruise Control (SCC)

CAUTION

Playing the car audio system at high volume may distract the driver's attention. The DAW warning sound may not be heard.
