(the warning light will illuminate on the outer side view mirror) AND
2. The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being detected).

- 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 BSD sensor does not detect

When the BSD cancelled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snowin the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
Once dirt or debris is removed, the
BSD system should operate normal-
ly after about 10 minutes of driving
the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.If there is a problem with the BSD
system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch
will turn off. The system will turn off
automatically. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert feature
monitors approaching cross traffic
from the left and right side of the
vehicle when your vehicle is moving
in reverse.

Operating conditions
To operate: Go to the User Settings Mode
(Driving Assist) and select RCTA
(Rear Cross Traffic Alert) on the LCD
display (For more information,
refer to "LCD Display" in chapter3.) . The system will turn on and
standby to activate. The system will
activate when vehicle speed is below
10 km/h (6 mph) with the shift lever in
R (Reverse). The Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) detecting range is approx-
imately 0.5 – 20 m (1 - 65 ft). An
approaching vehicle will be
detected if their vehicle speed iswithin 4 - 36 km/h (2.5 - 22.5 mph).
Note that the detecting range may
vary under certain conditions. As
always, use caution and pay close
attention to your surroundings
when backing your vehicle.
Warning type
If the vehicle detected by the sensors
approaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound, the warning
light on the outer side view 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
of the sensing area or if your vehicle
is moved away from the detected
vehicle.
 The system may not operate proper- ly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.
 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. 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.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
The BSD indicator on the outer side
view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
- The outer side view mirror housingis damaged.
- The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
- The window is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
- The window is tinted.
NOTICEi
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illumi-
nate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side bythe system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warninglight and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle. (Continued)
(Continued)
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with aBlind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA). Do not solely
rely on the system. 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.
The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) 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 BlindSpot Detection System (BSD)
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.

tem may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
- The vehicle drives on a curved roador through a tollgate.
- The sensor is polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc.
- The rear bumper where the sensor is located is covered with a foreign
object such as a bumper sticker, a
bumper guard, a bike stand, 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
trunk, abnormal tire pressure, etc.
- The vehicle drives in inclement weather such as heavy rain or
snow.
- There is a fixed object near the vehicle, such as a guardrail.
- A big vehicle is near such as a bus or truck. - A motorcycle or bicycle is near.
- A flat trailer is near.
- 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.
- While changing lanes.
- While going down or up a steep road where the height of the lane is
different.
- When the other vehicle approaches very close.
- When a trailer or carrier is installed.
- When the temperature of the rear bumper is high.
- When the sensors are blocked by the other vehicles, walls or parking-
lot pillars.
- When the detected vehicle also moves back, as your vehicle drives
back.
- If there are small objects in the detecting area such as a shopping
cart or a baby carriage.
- If there is a low height vehicle such as a sports car. - When other vehicles are close to
your vehicle.
- When the vehicle in the next lane moves two lanes away from you
OR when the vehicle two lanes

The Lane Keeping Assist System
helps detect the lane markers on the
road with a camera at the front wind-
shield, and assists the driver's steer-
ing to help keep the vehicle in the
lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.

Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and
steering the vehicle for safedriving practices.
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when thesteering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKAS helps prevent the driver
from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting
the driver's steering. However,
the system is just a conven-ience function and the steer-
ing wheel is not always con-
trolled. While driving, the driv-
er should pay attention to thesteering wheel.
The operation of the LKAS
can be cancelled or not work
properly according to road
condition and surroundings.
Always be cautious whendriving.
WARNING
Do not disassemble LKAS
camera temporarily for tinted
window or attaching anytypes of coatings and acces-
sories. If you disassemble a
camera and assemble it again,
take your vehicle to an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked for acalibration.
When you replace the wind-
shield glass, LKAS camera or
related parts of the steering,
take your vehicle to an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked for acalibration.
The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Always be cautious whenusing the system.

LKAS operation
To activate/deactivate the LKAS:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press the LKAS button
located on the instrument panel on
the lower left hand side of the driver.
The indicator in the cluster display
will initially illuminate white.
When the indicator(white) activated
in the previous ignition cycle, the
system turns on without any control.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-tion if the sunlight is reflected.
Do not place any accessories
near the rearview mirror.
You may not hear warning sound of LKAS because of the
excessive audio sound.(Continued)
(Continued)
If you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel, the LKAS will stop con-
trolling the steering wheelafter the hands off alarm.
After then, if you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel, the control will be acti-
vated again.
If the vehicle speed is high,
steering torque for assistancewill not be enough to keep
your vehicle within the lane. If
so, the vehicle may move out
of its lane.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, hands off
alarm may not work properly.
WARNING
(Continued)
When the lane markers are
hard to detect, please refer to"Limitation of the System".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKAS.
