WARNING
OAD058031N

5-68
Driving your vehicle
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
HYUNDAI dealer.
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 the rear 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 switch and the sys-
tem 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 your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
