Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) System (if equipped)
[A] : Sensor
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system assists the driver
when backing up the vehicle by
chiming if any object is sensed with-
in approximately 50 in (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)system
Operating condition
This system will activate when
backing up with the POWER button
in the ON position. However, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph
(5km/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
detected.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
OOSEV048400N
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.

Convenient features of your vehicle
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
bumper, the warning sound beeps more frequently.
When an object is within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear
bumper, the warning sound beeps continuously.
The indicator may differ from the illustration as objects or sensors sta-
tus. If the indicator blinks, have your vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the audible warning does not sound or if the buzzer sounds intermit- tently when shifting into R (Reverse) position, this may indicate a mal-
function with the Parking Distance Warning (Reverse) system. If this
occurs, have your vehicle checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.

Conditions Where the ParkingDistance Warning (Reverse)system May Not Operate
The Parking Distance Warning
(Reverse) system may not operate
normally when any of the following
occur:
The sensor is covered with dirt or
debris such as snow or ice, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
The Rear 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.
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 acces- sories have been installed, or if the
vehicle bumper height or sensor
installation has been modified.

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 12 in. (30 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 rear
parking assist system may be inop-
erative 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.
Extreme caution should always
be taken to avoid accidents or
vehicle injuries. Do not solely
rely on the Parking Distance
Warning (Reverse) system.
Always drive safely and cau-
tiously, especially when back-
ing up in reverse.

Air intake control
The air intake control button is used
to select either Fresh mode (outside
air) or Recirculation mode (cabin air).
Recirculation mode
When Recirculationmode is selected, air
from the passenger
compartment will be
recirculated through the
system and heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
Fresh mode
When Fresh mode is selected, air enters the
vehicle from outside and
is heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
Information
Operating the system primarily in
Fresh mode is recommended. Use
Recirculation mode temporarily only
when needed.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the
A/C ON can cause fogging of the wind-
shield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C
ON in Recirculation mode may result in
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the
cabin and may promote formation of
musty vent odor due to stagnant air.
i
OOSEV048315
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
Recirculation mode for a pro-
longed period of time may
cause drowsiness to the
occupants in the cabin. This
may lead to loss of vehicle
control which may lead to an
accident.
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
Recirculation mode with the
A/C OFF may allow humidity
to increase inside the cabin.
This may cause condensation
to accumulate on the wind-
shield and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in your vehicle or
remain parked in your vehicle
with the windows up and
either the heater or the air
conditioning ON for pro-
longed periods of time. Doing
so may increase the levels of
carbon dioxide in the cabin
which may lead to serious
injury or death.

Outside Windshield Moisture
Note that if you operate the air
conditioner to cool your vehicle
with the mode set to or
when the outside relative
humidity is high, moisture may
collect on the outer surface of
the windshield glass causing
the windshield to fog up on the
outside and limit your visibility.
If this occurs, use the wind-
shield wipers to clear the glass.
In addition, change the mode
selection knob or button on the
climate control system to the mode to redirect cooling air
away from the windshield.
