Hyundai Elantra: Driver Attention Warning (DAW) System / System Malfunction

Check Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system

When the warning message appears, the system is not working properly. In this case, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

• The Driver Attention Warning system is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function only. It is the responsibility of the driver to always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. Pay attention to the road conditions at all times.
• The driver who feels fatigued should take a break, even though there is no break suggestion by the Driver Attention Warning system.

Information

The system may suggest a break according to the driver's driving pattern or habits even if the driver doesn't feel fatigue.

NOTICE

The Driver Attention Warning system utilizes the camera sensor on the front windshield for its operation. To keep the camera sensor in the best condition, you should observe the followings:

• NEVER install any accessories or stickers on the front windshield, or tint the front windshield.
• NEVER place any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror) over the crash pad. Any light reflection may prevent the system from functioning properly.
• Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor dry.
• Never disassemble the camera assembly, or apply any impact on the camera assembly. If the sensor is forcibly moved out of proper alignment, the system may not operate correctly. Take your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and have the system checked for calibration.

CAUTION

The Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system may not provide alerts in the following situations:

• The lane detection performance is limited. (For more details, refer to "Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system" in this chapter.)
• The vehicle is erratically driven or is abruptly turned for obstacle avoidance (e.g. construction area, other vehicles, fallen objects, bumpy road).
• Forward drivability of the vehicle is severely undermined (possibly due to wide variation in tire pressures, uneven tire wear-out, toe-in/toe-out alignment).
• The vehicle drives on a curvy road.
• The vehicle drives on a bumpy road.
• The vehicle drives through a windy area.
• The vehicle is controlled by the following driving assist systems:
  - Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) System
  - Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) System
  - Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
  - Smart Cruise Control (SCC) System

CAUTION

Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent occupants from hearing the Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system warning sounds.
