Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system (if equipped)
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system assists the driver
during reverse movement of the vehi-
cle by chiming if any object is sensed
within approximately 120 cm (50 in)
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)System
Operating condition
This system will activate when
backing up with the ignition switch
in the ON position. However, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5
km/h), the system may not detect
objects. If the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h), the system will not warn
you even though objects are detect-
ed.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognised first.

Sensors
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
Types of warning soundIndicator
When an object is approximately
60 to 120 cm (24 to 47 in) from
the rear bumper, the warning
sound beeps intermittently.
When an object is approximately
30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) from
the rear bumper, the warning
sound beeps more frequently.
When an object is within approx-
imately 30 cm (12 in) from the
rear bumper, the warning sound
beeps continuously.

Convenient features of your vehicle
The following objects may not be
recognised 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 recognise objects less than 40 cm (15 in)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution. When the sensor is blocked with
snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may be inopera-
tive 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.
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system
(if equipped)
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system assists the
driver during movement of the vehicle
by chiming if any object is sensed with-
in approximately 100 cm (40 in) in front
and 120 cm (47 in) behind the vehicle.
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.

Operating condition
This system will activate when the
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system button
is pressed with the vehicle on. The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system button
turns on automatically and acti-
vates the Parking Distance
Warning (Reverse/Forward) sys-
tem when you shift to the R
(Reverse) position. However, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10
km/h), the system will not warn you
even though objects are detected,
and if the vehicle speed exceeds
12 mph (20 km/h), the system will
turn off automatically. To turn on
the system, press the Parking
Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) system button.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognised first.

ALWAYS look around your
vehicle to make sure there are
not any 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 pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the

Non-operational conditions ofParking Distance Warning(Reverse/Forward) system
Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse/Forward) 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 Parking
Distance Warning (Reverse/
Forward) system malfunction when:
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.
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 accessories have been installed, or
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified.

The indicator may differ from the illustration as objects or sensors status. If the indicator blinks, we recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
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/Forward)
system. If this occurs, we recommend that you have your vehicle
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer as soon as possible.
