The following objects may not be
recognized 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 40 in. (1 m) and narrower than 6
in. (14 cm) in diameter.Rear parking assist system
precautions
The rear parking assist systemmay not sound sequentially
depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 15 in. (40 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or cov- ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until the
items are removed and the sen-
sors are cleaned using a soft cloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors; it can not detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be detected
by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the systems
capabilities and limitations.

Self-diagnosis (if equipped)
When you shift the gear to the R
(Reverse) position and if one or more
of the below occurs you may have a
malfunction in the rear parking assist
system.
You don't hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants due to a rear
parking assist system malfunc-
tion. Always drive safely and
cautiously.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to
objects on the road, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children. Be aware that some
objects may not be detected by
the sensors, due to the object’s
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor. Always per-
form a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving
the vehicle in any direction.

Auto defogging system
(if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probabil-
ity of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing
the moisture of inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on.
This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the mois-
ture of inside the wind-
shield and operates. If more moisture is in the vehicle, the
automated steps operate as follows:
If auto defogging does not defog the
window at step 1, outside air position,
step 2, blowing air toward the wind-
shield occurs.
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Blowing air toward the wind-
shield
Step 3 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
Step 4 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 5 : Maximizing the air conditioning
The auto defogging system is auto-
matically activated when the condi-
tions are met. However, if you would
like to cancel the auto defogging sys-
tem, press the front defroster button
4 times within 2 seconds while press-
ing the AUTO button. The indicator of
the front defroster button will blink 3
times to notify you that the system is
cancelled. To use the auto defogging
system again, follow the procedures
mentioned above.
If the battery has been disconnected
or discharged, it resets to the auto
defogging status.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When the air conditioning is turned
on and the outside air position is
selected by the auto defogging sys-
tem, if you try to turn off the air con-
ditioning and select the recirculated
air position, the indicator will blink
3 times and the air conditioning will
not be turned off and recirculated
air position will not be selected.

The BSD (Blind spot detection) sys-
tem uses a radar sensor to alert the
driver while driving.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides information to
the driver.
1 BSD (Blind spot detection)
When a vehicle approaches you and
is detected in your blind spot area,
the system will warn you. The warn-
ing range depends on your vehicle
speed. However, if your vehicle is
about 6 mph (10 km/h) faster than the
other vehicle, the system will not
warn you.
2 LCA (Lane change assist)
When a vehicle approaches you at
high speed, the system will warn you.
3 RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves rearward
and the sensor detects an approach-
ing vehicle on either the left or right
side, the system will warn you.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
While driving, keep your eyes on the road and be aware of
your surroundings even
though the BSD (Blind spot
detection) system is operat-
ing.
The BSD (Blind spot detec- tion) system is a convenient
feature designed to assist the
driver. However, do not rely
solely on the system to alert
you when vehicles are
approaching. Always pay
proper attention to your sur-
roundings and use caution
when changing lanes.

appear when there is heavy rain or in
a large area with nothing to detect. If
this occurs, inspect the rear bumper
for any debris or dirt which may
affect the operation of the BSD sen-
sor. If the system does not activate
normally after removing the sub-
stances on the rear bumper, consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.If there is a problem with BSD, a warn-
ing message will appear to notify the
driver. If this occurs, have a vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Operating conditions - RCTA
When the ignition is ON, if you
press the BSD switch, the switch
indicator illuminates and the system
turns on.
The system operates when the vehicle speed is below 6.2 mph (10
km/h) when the gear shift lever is in
reverse (R).
The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) detecting range is 0.5 - 20m (1.6 -
65.6 ft) based on the side direction.
If an approaching vehicle is within
the sensing range and is traveling
at a speed of 2.5 - 22 mph (4 - 36
km/h), the system will detect the
vehicle. However, the system sens-
ing range may vary based on the
surrounding conditions. Always
use good judgment and pay atten-
tion to your surroundings while
driving even while using the BSD
system.
Warning type
If the vehicle detected by sensorsapproaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound and the warn-
ing light will blink on the outside
rearview mirror.
If the detected vehicle is out of the sensing range from behind your
vehicle, moves in the opposite
direction away from your vehicle or
moves slowly, the warning is can-
celled.
The system may not operate prop- erly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings. ❈
If the left or right side bumper of
your vehicle is blocked by a barrier
or another vehicle, the system
sensing ability may be limited.
WARNING
The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror housing
will illuminate whenever a
vehicle is detected at the rear
side by the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surroundings of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the vehicle is equipped with a
BSD (Blind spot detection)
system. Do not solely rely on
the system but check for your-
self before changing lanes.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check the surround-
ings while driving.
