Driving your vehicle
The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driv-
er of an approaching vehicle in the
driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
an indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range
varies relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travel-
ing much faster than the vehicles
around you, the warning will not
occur.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
The Lane Change Assist feature
will alert you when a vehicle is
approaching in an adjacent lane
at a high rate of speed. If the driv-
er activates the turn signal when
the system detects an oncoming
vehicle, the system sounds an
audible alert.
The time of alert varies according
to the speed difference between
you and the approaching vehicle.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert fea-
ture monitors approaching cross
traffic from the left and right side
of the vehicle when your vehicle is
in reverse. The feature will operate
when the vehicle is moving in
reverse below about 10 km/h (6
mph). If oncoming cross traffic is
detected a warning chime will
sound.The time of alert varies according
to the speed difference between
you and the approaching vehicle.

•Always be aware of road con-
ditions while driving and be
alert for unexpected situa-
tions even though the Blind
Spot Detection System is
operating.
•The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe driv-
ing. Always drive safely and
use caution when changing
lanes or backing up the vehi-
cle. The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) may not detect
every object alongside the
vehicle.

Operating conditions
To operate:
Cluster type A
Go to the 'User Settings →Driving
Assist →Rear Collision Warning and
select Rear Cross Traffic Alert' on the
LCD display.
Cluster type B
Go to the 'User Settings →Driving
Assist and select Rear Cross Traffic
Alert' on the LCD display.
The system will turn on and standby
to activate. The system will activate
when vehicle speed is below 10 km/h
(6.2 mph) and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
If the function is deselected from the
instrument cluster, the function will
deactivate.
For more information, refer to
"LCD Display Modes" in chapter 3.Information
• The last selected setting (ON or
OFF) of the RCTA is remained in
the system.
• The system will activate when vehi-
cle speed is below 10 km/h (6.2 mph)
and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
• The Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) detecting range is approxi-
mately 0.5 m ~ 20 m (1 ft ~ 65 ft) in
the direction of both lateral sides of
the vehicle.
An approaching vehicle will be
detected if their vehicle speed is
within 4 km/h ~36 km/h (2.5 ~ 22.5
mph).
Note that the detecting range may
vary under certain conditions. As
always, use caution and pay close
attention to your surroundings
when backing up your vehicle.

Driving your vehicle
• The system may not work prop-
erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
• The sensing range differs some-
what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane
Or when the road is wide, the
system may not detect other
vehicles in the next lane.
• The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
Detecting sensor
The sensors are located inside the
rear bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for proper operation of the system.
Warning message
Blind Spot Detection disabled.
Radar blocked.
This warning message may appear
when :
- One or both of the sensors on the
rear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the
BSD sensor does not detect
another vehicle for an extended
period of time.
- When there is inclement weather
such as heavy snow or rain.
- A trailer or carrier is installed. (To
use the BSD system, remove the
trailer or carrier from your vehicle.)

If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BSD switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
When the BSD cancelled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the BSD system should operate nor-
mally after about 10 minutes of driv-
ing the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally we recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Turn off the system by pressing the
BSD switch and deselecting Rear
Cross Traffic Alert from the User
Settings mode on the cluster when
using a trailer or carrier behind your
vehicle.
Check BSD system
If there is a problem with the BSD
system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch
will turn off. The system will turn off
automatically. We recommend that
you have your vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Limitations of the system
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
• When a trailer or carrier is
installed.
• The vehicle drives in inclement
weather such as heavy rain or
snow.
• The sensor is polluted with rain,
snow, mud, etc.
• The rear bumper where the sensor
is located is covered with a foreign
object such as a bumper sticker, a
bumper guard, a bike rack, etc.
• The rear bumper is damaged, or
the sensor is out of the original
default position.
• The vehicle height gets lower or
higher due to heavy loading in the
luggage compartment, abnormal
tire pressure, etc.
• When the temperature near the
rear bumper area is high or low.

AEB sensor
In order for the AEB system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor cover or sensor is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
sensor cover or sensor may adverse-
ly affect the sensing performance of
the sensor.• Do not apply license plate frame
or foreign objects such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect
the sensing performance of the
radar.
• Always keep the radar sensor
and cover clean and free of dirt
and debris.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressur-
ized water directly on the sensor
or sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the AEB system may
not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may
not be displayed. We recom-
mend that you have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
• If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, the AEB system
may not operate properly. We
recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by authorized
HYUNDAI.
• Use only genuine parts to repair
or replace a damaged sensor or
sensor cover. Do not apply paint
to the sensor cover.
