CAUTION:
1. The rear parking assist warning may not sound sequentially de- pending on the speed and shapesof the objects detected.
2. The rear parking assist system
may malfunction if the vehiclebumper height or sensor installa- tion has been modified or dam- aged. Any non-factory installedequipment or accessories may also interfere with the sensor per- formance.
3. The sensor may not recognise objects less than 15 in. (40 cm)from the sensor, or it may sensean incorrect distance. Use cau- tion.
4. When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water,the sensor may be inoperative until the stains are removed using asoft cloth.
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor. Sensor damage couldoccur.
!
4. Objects generating excessive noise
(vehicle horns, loud motorcycle en- gines, or truck air brakes) are within range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the sen-sor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow. 8. Trailer towing The detecting range may decrease when: 1. The sensor is stained with foreign matter such as snow or water. (The sensing range will return to normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be recognised by the sensor: 1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the
sensor frequency such as clothes,spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1
m (40 in.) and narrower than 14 cm (6in.) in diameter. CAUTION:
This system can only sense objects within the range and location of the sensors; It can not detect objects inother areas where sensors are not installed. Also, small or slim ob- jects, such as poles or objects lo-cated between sensors may not be detected by the sensors. Always visually check behind thevehicle when backing up. Be sure to inform any drivers of the vehicle that may be unfamiliar withthe system regarding the systems capabilities and limitations. Your new vehicle warranty does notcover any accidents or damage to the vehicle or its occupants due to a rear parking assist system malfunc-tion. Always drive safely and cau- tiously.!

o Don't coast down hills with the carout of gear. This is extremely haz- ardous. Keep the car in gear at all times, use the brakes to slow down, then shift to a lower gear so thatengine braking will help you main- tain a safe speed.
o Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Rest- ing your foot on the brake pedalwhile driving can be dangerous be- cause it can result in the brakesoverheating and losing their effec- tiveness. It also increases the wear of the brake components.
o If a tyre goes flat while you are driving, apply the brakes gently andkeep the car pointed straight aheadwhile you slow down. When you are moving slowly enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off the road andstop in a safe place.
o If your car is equipped with an auto-
matic transaxle, don't let your carcreep forward. To avoid creeping forward, keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when the car is stopped.
!WARNING:
Pay close attention when the vehicle is driven close to objects on the road, particularly pedestrians, and especially children. Be aware thatsome objects may not be detected by the sensors, due to the object’s dis- tance, size or material, all of whichcan limit the effectiveness of the sensor. Always perform a visual inspection to make sure the vehicleis clear of all obstructions before moving the vehicle in any direction. NOTE: If you don’t hear an audible warning sound or if the buzzer sounds inter- mittently when shifting the gear to“R” position, this may indicate a malfunction in the rear parking as- sist system. If this occurs, have yourvehicle checked by an authorised Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.

GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES
C130A01A-DAT
WARNING:
Nothing should be carried on top of the shelf panel behind the rear seat.If there were an accident or a sud- den stop, such objects could move forward and cause damage to thevehicle or injure the occupants.
o After being parked, check to be sure the hand brake is not engaged and that the hand brake indicator light is out before driving away.
o Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wetwhen the car is washed. Wet brakescan be dangerous! Your car will not stop as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may cause the car topull to one side. To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly until the braking action returns to normal,taking care to keep the car under control at all times. If the braking action does not return to normal,stop as soon as it is safe to do so and call your Hyundai dealer for assistance.
