effectively, such as an unloaded
trailer or an automobile with a
loading platform covered by a soft
top, vehicles with a hard plastic
tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
 


y Vehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
refl ecting radio waves.




y Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle
ahead casting off water, snow, or
sand from its tires and onto your
windshield.
 


y The luggage compartment is loaded
with heavy objects or the rear
passenger seats are occupied.
 


y Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
 


y During inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
 


y When driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio waves.
 


y Under the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions.
 


y The beginning and end of a curve.



y Roads with continuous curves.



y Narrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.
 


y The vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.
 


y The vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.
 


y Roads with repeated up and down
slopes
 


y Driving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.

initialization must be performed so that the
system operates normally.
 


y A tire pressure is adjusted.



y Tire rotation is performed.



y A tire or wheel is replaced.



y The battery is replaced or completely
drained.
 


y The tire pressure monitoring system
warning light is illuminated.
Initialization method
1. Park the car in a safe place and fi rmly
apply the parking brake.
2. Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire
pressure of all four (4) tires to the

without adjusting the tire pressure,
the system cannot detect the normal
tire pressure and it may not illuminate
the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light even if a tire pressure is
low, or it may illuminate the light even
if the pressures are normal.
Adjust the tire pressure on all four
tires and initialize the system when
the warning light is turned on. If the
warning light turns on for a reason
other than a fl at tire, the tire pressure
of all four tires may have decreased
naturally.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed while
the vehicle is being driven.
