SONATA Hybrid

Standard on all trims.

Blind Spot Detection (BSD) assists the driver by warning of other cars in the blind spot region. It senses the rear side territory of the vehicle when it is traveling over 20 mph. There are limitations to the function, range, detection and clarity of the system. It will not detect all vehicles or objects in the blind spot. Its operation depends on the size, distance, angle and relative speed difference between your car and other cars. BSD may not operate if sensors are obscured in any way. Do not rely exclusively on BSD. BSD is a supplemental system and the driver must still be attentive and exercise caution when driving. It is important to always signal, look over your shoulder and through your mirrors before changing lanes. It is the driver's responsibility to be aware of the surroundings and ensure it is clear before changing lanes or directions. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

The Rear Cross-traffic Alert system is designed to notify drivers of approaching cross-traffic behind the vehicle. When a vehicle is detected, it provides an audible warning and visual display warning. Rear Cross-traffic Alert is a supplemental system and the driver must still exercise extreme caution when backing up. Drivers must always turn and view oncoming traffic before backing up. Rear Cross-traffic Alert is active when the vehicle is in Reverse and backing at a speed less than 6 mph. It may not detect all vehicles, depending on the size, angle, distance and speed of the other vehicle. In addition, Rear Cross-traffic Alert does not detect stationary objects or slow moving objects near the car, including pedestrians (including children), shopping carts, bicycles or baby strollers. The sensor will not function if it is blocked by foreign material, bicycle racks, luggage carriers, bumper stickers, mud or snow. Please see owners' manual for additional information.

Standard on Limited trim.

Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection detects pedestrians, but not in all conditions. The system initiates full braking at speeds between 5-28 mph when a pedestrian is standing, or from 5-43 mph when a pedestrian is moving. AEB is a driver assistance system and not a substitute for safe driving. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations. Listed below are the conditions referenced in the Owner’s Manual where the system may not detect a pedestrian:

• The pedestrian is not fully captured by the camera sensor, or the pedestrian does not walk in the upright position
• The pedestrian moves very fast
• The pedestrian abruptly appears in front
• The pedestrian wears clothes in the color similar to the background
• The outside is too bright or too dark
• The vehicle drives at night or in the darkness
• There is an item similar to a person’s body structure
• The pedestrian is small
• The pedestrian has impaired mobility
• It is difficult to distinguish the pedestrian from the surroundings
• The sensor recognition is limited
• There is a group of pedestrians

Standard on Limited trim. 

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) will not work under all circumstances. It functions when it is able to detect painted lane markings. It cannot function if the lane markings cannot be seen clearly, if the lines are faded, or during dusk without headlights on, with snow, rain, sleet, dust, leaves or standing water on road, sudden changes in brightness such as shadows, tunnel exits/entrances, low sunlight angle causing reflections, multiple lane markings or criss-crossed lines, tar crack sealer and cracked or broken road surfaces. It also may not function on very rough roads, when walls, curbs or concrete barriers are close by, or if following another car too closely. Since it "sees" the lane markings using a camera in the upper windshield area, it is imperative this area be clear and free of blockage such as stickers, dirt, snow, tinting material, markings and labels. Avoid putting objects on the dashboard that may reflect light or images onto the system camera area. Lane Keeping Assist is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but is a supplemental assist only. The driver is responsible for always maintaining command and control of the vehicle and must keep hands on the wheel at all times. Drivers must read their Owner's Manual thoroughly before using Lane Keeping Assist.
