Windshield washers
In the OFF (O) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and
wiper operation will continue until you
release the lever. If the washer does
not work, you may need to add wash-
er fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.If equipped with the Headlamp
Washer, washer fluid will be sprayed
on the headlamp at the same time you
operate the windshield washer when:
1. The Engine Start/Stop button is in
the ON position.
2. The light switch is in the headlamp
position.
ODH043079
When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warm
the windshield using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
shield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an acci-
dent and serious injury or death.
WARNING
•To prevent possible damage
to the washer pump, do not
operate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.
•To prevent possible damage
to the wipers or windshield,
do not operate the wipers
when the windshield is dry.
•To prevent damage to the
wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.
•To prevent possible damage
to the wipers and washer sys-
tem, use anti-freezing washer
fluids in the winter season or
cold weather.

the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 100 cm
(39 inches) in front and 120 cm (47
inches) behind the vehicle.This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, it
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
Operation of the Parking Assist
System
•ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
•Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.

distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.

Smart Parking Assist System
(SPAS) (if equipped)The Smart Parking Assist System
helps drivers park their vehicle by
using sensors to measure parking
spaces, control the steering wheel to
semi-automatically park the vehicle
and provide instruction on the LCD
display to help through parking.
Additionally, the system provides
assistance when leaving (parallel
exit) a parking space.
The volume for the Smart Parking
Assist System can be adjusted from
the User Settings Mode on the LCD
display. For more details, refer to
"LCD Display" in this chapter. Do not push, scratch or strike
the sensor with any hard
objects that could damage the
surface of the sensor. Sensor
damage could occur.
CAUTION
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.

✽NOTICE
• The vehicle will not stop for pedes-
trians or objects that may be in its
path, so the driver must monitor
the maneuver.
• Use the system only in parking lots
and places used for parking.
• The system does not work if there is
no car parked in front of the park-
ing space you are planning to park
or if it is a diagonal parking space.
• After parking your vehicle using
the system, the vehicle may not be
parked at the exact spot you have
wished. For example, the space
between your vehicle and wall
may not be the distance you have
desired.
• Deactivate the system and park
your vehicle manually, when the sit-
uation requires parking manually.
• The Parking Assist System's front
and rear warning sound activates

System should only be consid-
ered as a supplementary func-
tion. The driver must check the

can be affected by many fac-
tors and conditions of the sur-
roundings, so the responsibili-
ty rests always with the driver.
•The system may not operate
normally if the vehicle needs
wheel alignment adjustment.
We recommend that you have
the vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•If you use a different tire or
wheel size rather than the size
recommended by the HYUNDAI
dealer, the system may not
work properly. Always use the
same size tire and wheel.
•If you use additional frame on
the license plate, SPAS may
generate abnormal warning
sound.
