Detecting Sensor
The rear radars are located inside
the rear bumper for detecting the
side and rear areas. Always keep the
rear bumper clean for proper opera-
tion of the system.
The system may not work prop-erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
The system may turn off if inter- fered by electromagnetic waves.
Always keep the sensors clean.
NEVER disassemble the sensor component or apply any impact
on the sensor component.
Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor 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 an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded
products. Do not apply foreign objects
such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor or apply paint to the sen-
sor area. Doing so may adverse-
ly affect the performance of the
sensor.
Warning message
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system disabled. Radar
blocked
This warning message may appear
when:
- 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 sensor does not detect another
vehicle for an extended period of
time.
- When there is inclement weather such as heavy snow or rain.
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW/BCA switch and the
system will turn off automatically.

When the BCW canceled 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 system should operate normally
after about 10 minutes of driving the
vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.

Sensor to Detect Distance to
the Vehicle Ahead
The Smart Cruise Control uses a
sensor to detect distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the sensor clean.

ered with dirt, snow, or debris, the
Smart Cruise Control system opera-
tion may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will
appear on the cluster LCD display.Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor lens cover
before operating the Smart Cruise
Control system.
The Smart Cruise Control system
may not properly activate, if the radar
