Lane changing
A vehicle which moves into your
lane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.
The sensor may not detect imme- diately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.
If a vehicle which moves into your lane is slower than your vehicle,
your speed may decrease to main-
tain the distance to the vehicleahead. If a vehicle which moves into your
lane is faster than your vehicle,
your vehicle will accelerate to theselected speed.
Your vehicle may accelerate whena vehicle ahead of you disappears.
When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution.

Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles ahead in your lane
cannot be recognized by the sensor
as follows:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-cles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden- decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing
upwards due to overloading in the
trunk
- While making turns by steering
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal accord-ing to the road condition ahead and
driving condition. When vehicles are at a standstill
and the vehicle in front of you
changes to the next lane, be care-
ful when your vehicle starts to
move because it may not recognize
the stopped vehicle in front of you.

The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert
the driver.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides and indication
to the driver. ➀
BSD(Blind spot detection)
Warning range is dependent on your
vehicle speed. However, if your vehi-cle speed is speedy about 10km/h
than other vehicle, the warning is not
operated. ➁ LCA(Lane change assist)
When the vehicle is approaching to
your vehicle at high speed, the warn-
ing is operated. ➂ RCTA(Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves backward, the sensor detects the approaching
vehicles to the left or right side direc-
tion and warning is operated.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)
OVI053129L
WARNING
Always check the road condi- tion while driving for unex-
pected situations even thoughthe Blind Spot DetectionSystem (BSD) is operating.
The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) is a system
made for convenience. Do not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention to drive
safely.
The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe lane
changing procedures. Always
drive safely and use caution
when changing lanes. TheBlind Spot Detection System
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.

The second stage alarm will activate when:
1. The first stage alert is on
2. The turn signal is on to change a
lane When the second stage alert is acti-
vated, a warning light will blink on the
outside rearview mirror, the head up
display and an alarm will sound.
If you move the turn signal switch to
the original position, the second
stage alert will be deactivated.
- The second stage alarm may be
deactivated.
To activate the alarm: Go to the User Settings Mode
Sound and select "BSD" on the
LCD display.
To deactivate the alarm: Go to the User Settings Mode
Sound and deselect "BSD" on the
LCD display.
Detecting sensor
The sensors are located inside of the
rear bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for the system to work properly.

RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves backwards
from a parking position, the sensor
detects approaching vehicles to the
left or right side direction and gives
information to the driver.Operating conditions
Select RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic
Alert) in "User Settings" under
"Driving Assist" on the instrument
cluster. The system will turn on and
standby to activate.
Select RCTA again, to turn the sys- tem off.
If the vehicle is turned off and on again, the RCTA system will return
to the state right before the vehicle
was turned off. Always turn the
RCTA system off when not in use.
The system is operated when the vehicle speed is below 10km/h with
the shift lever in R (Reverse). The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic
Alert) detecting range is0.5m~20m based on side direc-
tion. If the approaching vehiclespeed is 4 km/h~36 km/h in sens-
ing range, it is detected. However,
the system sensing range is differ-
ent base on conditions. Always payattention to surrounding.

Non-operating condition
Driver's Attention
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations for the system may
not assist the driver and may not
work properly.
- Curved roads, tollgates, etc.
- The surrounding of the sensor is
polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc
- The rear bumper near the sensor is covered or hidden with a foreign
matter such as a sticker, bumperguard, bicycle stand etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged or the sensor is out of place.
- The height of the vehicle is altered such as when the trunk is loaded
with heavy objects, or there is lowtire pressure etc.
- Bad weather such as heavy rain or snow.
- A fixed object is near such as a guardrail, tunnel, human and ani-mal etc.
CAUTION
The system may not work prop-
erly if the bumper has beenreplaced or if repair work has been done near the sensor.
The detection area differs according to the roads width.If the road is narrow the sys-tem may detect other vehicles in the next lane.
in addition, if the road is very wide the system may notdetect other vehicles.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
(Continued)
The Blind Spot DetectionSystem (BSD) and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) are not a
substitute for proper and safe
driving. Always drive safely
and use caution when chang-
ing lanes or backing the vehi-
cles up. The Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) may
not detect every object along-
side the vehicle.

- Metal substances are near thevehicles such as in a construction area.
- A big vehicle is near such as a bus or truck.
- A motorcycle or bicycle is near.

- When the sensors are covered by the vehicle, wall or a pillar of park- ing lot. - When your vehicle is backing up, if
the detected vehicle approaches
your vehicle or also backs up.
- Small objects like shopping carts and baby carriages.
- If there is a vehicle with decreased ride height (lowered).

If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehicle’splacard or tire inflation pressure label
located on the driver’s side center pil-
lar outer panel. If you cannot reach a
service station or if the tire cannot
hold the newly added air, replace the
low pressure tire with a spare tire.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replaceing the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the below willhappen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-ously illuminated because theTPMS sensor is not mounted onthe spare wheel.
✽✽ NOTICE
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure sensor.
WARNING - Low
pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased brakingdistances.
Continued driving on low pres- sure tires can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the low tire pressure telltale mayilluminate if the tire pressurewas adjusted to the recom-mended tire inflation pressure in warm weather. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunc-tioning because the decreasedtemperature leads to a lower- ing of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle from a warm area to a coldarea or from a cold area to awarm area, or the outside tem- perature is higher or lower,you should check the tireinflation pressure and adjust the tires to the recommendedtire inflation pressure.
The tire pressure may vary depending on various factorsincluding the temperature con- ditions of parking area, drivingconditions and ambient tem-perature, altitude above sea level.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The low tire pressure position telltale warning may illuminatewhen the tire pressure issame or higher than nearby tires. This is normal since thetire pressure changes alongwith the Internal temperature of each tire.
The tire pressure displayed on the instrument panel may bedifferent from the tire pres-sure measured by a tire pres- sure gauge.
