Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system (if equipped)
[A] : Sensor
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system assists the driver
during reverse movement of the vehi-
cle by chiming if any object is sensedwithin the distance of 120 cm (50
inches) behind the vehicle. This system is a supplemental sys- tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, itcannot detect objects in other areaswhere sensors are not installed.
Operation of the ParkingDistance Warning (Reverse)
system
Operating condition
This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch
in the ON position. However, if vehi-
cle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph),
the system may not detect objects.
If vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), 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 recognized first.
ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, 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 effective-
ness of the sensor.

Warning type
If the vehicle detected by the sensors
approaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound, the warning
light on the outside rearview mirror
will blink and a message will appear
on the LCD display.Information
 The warning chime will turn off when:
- The detected vehicle moves out ofthe sensing area or
- when the vehicle is right behind your vehicle or
- when the vehicle is not approach- ing your vehicle or
- when the other vehicle slows down.
 The system may not operate properly due to other factors or circumstances.
Always pay attention to your sur-
roundings.
 If the sensing area near the rear bumper is blocked by either a wall
or barrier or by a parked vehicle,
the system sensing area may be
reduced.

When BCW is activated, the warning light on the outside
rearview mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detect-
ed at the rear side by the sys-tem.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warninglight and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA). Do not
solely rely on the system but
check your surrounding
before changing lanes or
backing the vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-ings while driving.
WARNING

5-60
Driving your vehicle
The system may not work prop-erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumperhas 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 Collision Warning
(BCW) system disabled.
Radar blocked
This warning message may appearwhen :
- One or both of the sensors on therear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the BCW sensor does not detect
another vehicle for an extended
period of time.
- When there is inclement weather such as heavy snow or rain.
NOTICE
The Blind-spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system and
Rear Cross-Traffic Collisionwarning (RCCW) are not a
substitute for proper and safe
driving practices. Always
drive safely and use caution
when changing lanes or back-
ing up your vehicle. The Blind-
spot Collision Warning (BCW)
system may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.

Driving your vehicle
When the sensors are blocked byother vehicles, walls or parking-lot
pillars.
The vehicle drives on a curved road or through a tollgate.
The vehicle is driven near areas containing metal substances such
as a construction zone, railroad,etc.
There is a fixed object near the vehicle, such as a guardrail, per-son, animal, etc.
While going down or up a steep road where the height of the lane is
different.
When driving through a narrow road with many trees or bushes.
When driving on wet surfaces.
When driving through a large area with few vehicles or structures
around, such as a desert, ruralarea, etc.
A big vehicle is near such as a bus or truck.
When other vehicles are close to your vehicle.
When the other vehicle approach- es very close. When the detected vehicle also
moves back, as your vehicle drives
back.
While changing lanes.
If the vehicle has started at the same time as the vehicle next to
you and has accelerated.
When the other vehicle passes at a very fast speed.
When the vehicle in the next lane moves two lanes away from you
OR when the vehicle two lanes
away moves to the next lane to
you.
The vehicle is turning left or right at a crossroads.
A motorcycle or bicycle is near.
A flat trailer is near.
If there are small objects in the detecting area such as a shopping
cart, a baby stroller or pedestrian.
If there is a low height vehicle such as a sports car.The BCW indicator on the outer
side view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
The outside rearview mirror hous-ing is damaged.
The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
The window is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
The window is tinted.

Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The radar sensor or camera isblocked with a foreign object or
debris
The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.) The driver's field of view is not well
illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)
The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights properly turned ON.
The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surfacesuch as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is obstruct- ed by sun glare
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-ed
The vehicle in front is driving errati- cally
The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle is driven near areas containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
The vehicle drives inside a building, such as a basement parking lot The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
The vehicle in front is moving verti- cally to the driving direction
The vehicle in front is stopped ver- tically
The vehicle in front is driving towards your vehicle or reversing
You are on roundabouts and the vehicle in front circles

5-74
Driving your vehicle
- Detecting the vehicle in front of you
If the vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the cab,
or when the vehicle in front of you
has higher ground clearance, addi-tional special attention is required.
The FCA system may not be able to
detect the cargo extending from the
vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance
from the rearmost object, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the camera recognition system,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright
The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-tion system
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural roadat night)
It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians or a large crowd
There is an item similar to a per- son's body structure
The pedestrian is small The pedestrian has impaired
mobility
The sensor recognition is limited
The radar sensor or camera is blocked with a foreign object or
debris
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surfacesuch as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-ed
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
