Check the Driver Attention Warning (DAW) System

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.
