sensors status. If the indicator
blinks, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
• If the audible warning does not sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently when shifting into R
(Reverse) position, this may indicate
a malfunction with the Parking
Distance Warning (Reverse) system.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized retailer of
Genesis Branded products as soon
as possible.
Non-operational conditions ofParking Distance Warning(Reverse) system
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may not operate

occur:
Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
Sensor is covered with foreign mat-
ter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may experience a
malfunction when the following
occurs:
Driving on uneven road surfacessuch as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.

Types of warning soundIndicator
When an object is 24 to 47 in
(60 to 120 cm) from the rear
bumper, the warning sound
beeps intermittently.
When an object is 12 to 24 in
(30 to 60 cm) from the rear

Detecting range may decrease when:
Outside air temperature is extreme-ly hot or cold.
Undetectable objects smaller than 40 inches (1 m) and narrower than
6 inches (14 cm) in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
Sharp or slim objects such asropes, chains or small poles.
Objects, which tend to absorb sen- sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
Parking Distance Warning(Reverse) system precautions
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may not operate
consistently in some circum-
stances depending on the speed of
the vehicle and the shapes of the
objects detected.
The Parking Distance Warning (Reverse) system may malfunction
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified
or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 15 in. (40 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is blocked with snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the sys-
tem may be inoperative 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.
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system. Always drive
safely and cautiously.

Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) System
(if equipped)
[A] : Rear Sensor, [B] : Front Sensor
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 39 inch-
es (100 cm) in front and 47 inches
(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 ParkingDistance Warning (Reverse/Forward) System
OIK047042N
OIK047043L
ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are no
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.

Operating condition
This system will activate when theParking Distance Warning system
button is pressed with the engine
running.
Sensing distance when backing up is approximately 47 in (120 cm)
when you are driving less than
6 mph (10 km/h).
Sensing distance when moving for- ward is approximately 39 in (100
cm) when you are driving less than
6 mph (10 km/h).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
If you move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position with the engine
running and the Parking Distance
Warning system off, the system will
operate automatically. But it will
turn off automatically, when the
vehicle speed exceeds 12 mph (20
km/h). The system will not automat-
ically operate again even if vehicle
speed returns to 6 mph (10 km/h).
