(if equipped)
Make this adjustment before you
start driving and whilst the day/night
lever is in the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of
the vehicles behind you during night
driving.

rearview clarity in the night position.
Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati-
cally controls the glare from the head-
lamp of the vehicle behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi-
tions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-
matically adjusts to control the head-
lamp glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat-
ically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the driver's view
behind the vehicle.
To operate the electric rearview
mirror:
•Press the ON/OFF button (1) to
turn the automatic dimming func-
tion off. The mirror indicator light
will turn off.
Press the ON/OFF button (1) to
turn the automatic dimming func-
tion on. The mirror indicator light
will illuminate.
•The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion whenever the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button is in
the ON position.

Rear parking assist system
(if equipped)
The Rear Parking Assist System
assists the driver during reverse move-
ment of the vehicle by chiming if any
object is sensed within approximately
120 cm 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 Rear Parking
Assist System
Operating condition
•This system will activate when
reversing with the ignition switch in
the ON position. However, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h, the
system may not detect objects.
•If the vehicle speed exceeds 10
km/h, the system will not warn you
even though objects are detected.
•When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognised first.OAD045110Sensor
•ALWAYS look around your
vehicle to make sure there are
no objects or obstacles,
before moving the vehicle in
any direction, to prevent a col-
lision.
•Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven
close to objects, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children.
•Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effec-
tiveness of the sensor.

Types of warning sound and indicator
•The indicator may differ from the
illustration depending on
objects or sensor status. If the
indicator blinks, we recommend
that you have your vehicle
checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
•If the audible warning does not
sound or if the buzzer sounds
intermittently when shifting into
R (Reverse) position, this may
indicate a malfunction with the
Parking Assist System. If this
occurs, we recommend that you
have your vehicle checked by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
Non-operational conditions of
Parking Assist System
The Rear Parking Assist System
may not operate normally when:
•Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
•The sensor is covered with dirt or
debris such as snow or ice, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of Rear
Parking Assist System malfunction
when:
•Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradients.
•Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
•Heavy rain or water spray is present.
•Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sensor.
•The sensor is covered with snow.
•Any non-factory equipment or acces-
sories have been installed, or if the
vehicle bumper height or sensor
installation has been modified.
NOTICE

Detecting range may decrease when:
•Outside air temperature is extreme-
ly hot or cold.
•Objects are smaller than 1 m and
narrower than 14 cm in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognised by the sensor:
•Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
•Objects, which tend to absorb sen-
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
Rear parking assist system
precautions
•The rear parking assist system
may not operate consistently in
some circumstances depending on
the speed of the vehicle and the
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 recognise
objects less than 40 cm from the
sensor, or it may sense an incor-
rect distance. Use caution.
•When the sensor is blocked with
snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the rear
parking assist system may be inop-
erative until the snow or ice melts,
or the debris is removed. Use a
soft cloth to wipe debris away from
the sensor.
•Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
•Do not spray the sensors or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
Yo u r n e w v e h i c l e w a r r a n t y d o e s
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a Rear
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.
