Speed camera voice warning

12646 Views 41 Replies 18 Participants Last post by  Taser8
I have thoroughly read both the Tucson 2022 Manual and the Infosystem Manual. I would like to turn off the "Speed Camera Voice Warning". Can not find the setting to do this. Even the dealer has not been able to help! They tried different setting, but none worked. Any and all HELP would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want that on. It lowers the volume of my radio when the voice speaks; very annoying.

I have Tucson Hybrid Limited and, as far as I am aware of, this car does not have "Speed Camera" options. If it was a typo or text prediction inserted "Speed camera' but you meant "speed limit" warning, then it can be found in "Setup" - "Vehicle" - "Driver Assistance" - "Speed Limit Warning" settings as well as "Speed Limit" volume settings (where you can turn it off, if you want to).
I am also wondering if by saying "speed camera" warning, you may be referring to warnings of speed cameras from either Google Maps or Waze or some other app on your phone?
If so, that would be managed from the phone itself.
However, if your car, in fact, does have "speed camera" warnings - what trim your car is?

GeneKey, many thanks for your response. It is really nice when we all work together to make our Hyundai Tucson experience better. I did mean Camera Alert. This is when there is a Speed Camera at an intersection, and I (or any driver) gets a warning that you are approaching a "Speed Camera". I would like to turn it off, it interrupts radio, or just a nice quiet ride. I am driving a 2022 Tucson Limited purchased three weeks ago in the Chicago, Illinois suburbs. The vehicle has the Type 2 Infoscreen. I have read both the Tucson Manual and the Infosystem Manual. Can not find any answer. I reviewed the screen and the Steering Wheel Mode. When I go to Settings on the Infoscreen, →Navigation Settings →Alerts→Camera Alert Distance, one can only select "Camera Alert Distance Depending on Speed Limit" or one can set distances for the Alert when on Local Roads and Freeways. The vehicle, as far as I researched, does not allow the driver to turn this Voice Alert OFF.
I'm a bit baffled. I don't have this on my Limited. I never heard a voice alert of a speed camera. Maybe I'm missing something here.....

I am puzzled. Out of curiosity, may I ask for a little bit more information? When you stated that "I (or any driver) gets a warning that you are approaching a "Speed Camera"" - does it mean that you just hear chime or it is voice warning telling you exactly those words "approaching a "Speed Camera"? The only kind of related and/or similar feature I am aware of ( and wrote about it in one of my posts) is that car front facing camera can recognize clearly visible speed limit signs and will change corresponding speed limit icon accordingly in digital cluster as well as on navigation system map. I have not used Tucson navigation system yet ( get used to and only use Google Maps via Android Auto) but would think that if driver uses navigation system for directions, then, quite possible, when car front camera reads upcoming speed limit change, it would warn driver. Maybe this is what you are referring to? This is just a "wild" guess, because, as I said, I didn't use Tucson navigation system. However, even in this scenario, I would think that if there is a voice based warning - it still would say something like "approaching speed limit change" but not "speed camera" ( especially, considering that speed camera can be placed and removed at any time of day).

Thank you. I use nav and never heard an audible warning of speed limit change or speed camera.

I may have made a error. I really don't remember what type of Camera Alert it is telling the driver about. It could be a Speed Camera, or a Red Light Camera. It is a warning that a camera is ahead. As is noted above the only acknowledgement of this camera is under Navigation Settings →Alerts→Camera Alert Distance, where you it either gives the voice warning dependent upon speed limits or the driver sets for local roads and freeway. The screen does not show a "Off" selection. This in on the InfoSystem Type 2 screen. Again 2022 Tucson Limited. Car purchased in the U.S. Hope this helps... When you turn off the control that shows the Speed Limit Sign, that has nothing to do with this Camera Warning. I tried that, but I still got the Camera Voice Warning and Chimes both right before entering the intersection and right after passing through the intersection.

Keep in mind, I only get this voice warning at intersections with cameras. I DO NOT have to be doing navigation at the time. I don't use navigation that often since I am mainly in my home area which I know almost everywhere I have to go. Make sure your screens are the same look as I mentioned. Maybe your screens are different. I only have two camera intersections near me, thus I don't get this very often.

Any chance that actual warning may be saying something like: "Check your camera surroundings"? and cameras 360 view appears on the infotainment screen? If that is the case - then it could be linked to "Surround View Monitor", which automatically activated when "Parking Distance Warning Auto On" is active ( and that one is automatically activated when traveling at low speeds). Otherwise, I am giving up and will except that you have a really LIMITED edition Tucson:)

No, the next time I am in the car and go through that intersection I will try to remember the exact words. However when I go to the settings screen I previously mentioned on the right side of the screen is a image of the type of camera used on an overhead traffic light. This warning is about THAT camera not about any of my car's cameras.
I have thoroughly read both the Tucson 2022 Manual and the Infosystem Manual. I would like to turn off the "Speed Camera Voice Warning". Can not find the setting to do this. Even the dealer has not been able to help! They tried different setting, but none worked. Any and all HELP would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want that on. It lowers the volume of my radio when the voice speaks; very annoying.
I also get this warning when I approach an intersection that has a red light camera. I find it helpful in areas I’m not familiar with. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a way to turn it off.

Could this actually be a warning coming from your iPhone's maps app through your infotainment system (assuming you're using CarPlay)?
Could you try turning your phone off to check if you still you get these warnings ?

Ok, I made a quick search on the internet, and it seems this is coming from Hyundai's inboard navigation app.
I found this on the Hyundai Palisade forum as a fix (see screen shot and link to Palisade forum below) :

I haven't received my Tucson yet so I cannot try it myself. Hope that is somewhat helpful to you..

I also "dig in" a little bit more. Again, I am emphasizing that I have Hybrid and that, may be why I could not find this feature. Here is what I have found. In the car infotainment manual that came with my car, it clearly mentions "Camera Alert Distance" feature ( see image )
Font Book Paper Publication Writing


However, when I just searched for word "Alerts" in infotainment center menu, it came up with the following (see image)
Computer Peripheral Input device Personal computer Laptop


But when I touched "Camera Alert Distance" - it just took me to the screen as in the image below and that was it.
Which makes me think that either I have a different software version of the navigation system ( and I have the latest one - as of Nov 30, 2021) or this feature is included in ICE cars but not Hybrids ( wondering, if PHEV has it or not).

Now I wish my car had such feature.

KN2, you are right. That is when I get the warning. I can not find anywhere that this can be turned off.
I also get the Speed Camera Warning. It is definitely giving me a warning that there is a speed camera ahead. I get it even when I do not have Nav up or an active route.

I got the same thing I'm not even using navigation but I get red light camera ahead now I get a new thing uneven road ahead and slippery road ahead it's getting very annoying over and over again

You can deactivate the icy road warning. This is mentioned on page 4-36 in the Owner's Manual. Many of the warnings can be turned off. You do have to study the complete manual to know how to activate and deactivate many of the car's settings. I realize that is annoying. I would have liked to have gotten in the car on day one and know how to just "drive". Unfortunately they are not making these cars like that!

Yeah I'm not talking about the icy road alert I already deactivated that months ago. Reread what I wrote.
