2019 Hyundai Santa Fe warning light

5-118
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
When the BCW 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 RCCW system should operate
normally after about 10 minutes of
driving the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Check BCW (Blind-spot Collision
Warning) system
If there is a problem with the BCW
system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch
will turn off. The system will turn off
automatically. RCCW will not operate
also if the BCW system turns off due
to malfunction. We recommend that
you have your vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
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.

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 a
boot, abnormal tyre pressure, etc.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System (BCA) may apply
braking power, when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain
distance next to/behind your vehicle.
It gently applies braking power on
the tyre, which is located in the oppo-
site side of the possibly-colliding
point. The instrument cluster will
inform the driver of the system acti-
vation.
•The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
•Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
System (BCW). 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 whilst driving.
WARNING
•The driver should always use
extreme caution whilst oper-
ating the vehicle, whether or
not the warning light on the
outside rearview mirror illumi-
nates or there is a warning
alarm.
•Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning System warning
sounds.
•The warning of the Blind-Spot
Collision Warning System
may not sound whilst other
system's warning sounds.

Front camera
The front camera is a sensor detect-
ing the lane. If the sensor is covered
with snow, rain or foreign substance,
the system may temporarily be can-
celled and not work properly until the
cancellation due to the degradation
of the sensor's detection perform-
ance. Always keep the sensor clean.
* Refer to Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
System for cautions for the front
camera sensor.
Rear radar
The rear radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side/rear areas. Always keep the
rear bumper clean for proper opera-
tion of the system.
•The system may not work
properly when the bumper
has been damaged, or if the
rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
•The sensing range differs
somewhat according to the
width of the road. When the
road is narrow, the system
may detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
•The system may turn off due
to strong electromagnetic
waves.
•Always keep the sensors
clean.
•NEVER arbitrarily disassem-
ble the sensor component nor
apply any impact on the sen-
sor component.
•Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the system
may not operate correctly. In
this case, a warning message
may not be displayed. Have
the vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
•Do not apply foreign objects
such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor or apply paint to the
sensor area. Doing so may
adversely affect the perform-
ance of the sensor.
•NEVER install any acces-
sories or stickers on the front
windscreen, nor tint the front
windscreen.
•Pay extreme caution to keep
the camera sensor out of
water.
•NEVER locate any reflective
objects (i.e. white paper, mir-
ror) over the crash pad. Any
light reflection may cause a
malfunction of the system.
