Detecting Sensor
The rear corner radars are located
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side and rear areas. Always keep
the rear bumper clean for proper
operation of the system. 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
surroundings of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
system. Do not solely rely on
the system but check your
surroundings before chang-
ing lanes or backing the vehi-
cle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some situations due
to system limitations so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.
WARNING
Always pay attention to road
and traffic conditions while
driving, whether or not the
warning light on the outside
rearview mirror illuminates or
there is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
system warning sounds.
The warning of Blind-Spot
Collision Warning system may
not sound while other sys-
tem's warning sounds.

Driving your vehicle
The system may not work prop-
erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has 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 if inter-
fered by strong 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. We recommend that
the vehicle be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
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

This warning message may appear
when:
- One or both of the sensors on the
rear bumper is blocked by dirt or

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, we recommend that the
vehicle be inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

Driver Attention Warning sys-
tem may not provide alerts in
the following situations:
The system may not work
around 15 seconds after start-
ing the vehicle or the initial-
ization or rebooting of the
front view camera.
The lane detection perform-
ance is limited. (For more
information, refer to "Lane
Keeping Assist (LKA)" in this
chapter.)
The vehicle is erratically driv-
en or is abruptly turned for
obstacle avoidance (e.g. con-
struction area, other vehicles,
fallen objects, bumpy road).
(Continued)
CAUTION(Continued)
Forward drivability of the
vehicle is severely under-
mined (possibly due to wide
variation in tire pressures,
uneven tire wear-out, toe-
in/toe-out alignment).
The vehicle is driven on a
curvy road.
The vehicle is driven through
a windy area.
The vehicle is driven on a
bumpy road.
The vehicle is controlled by
the following driving assist
systems:
- Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist system
- Lane Keeping Assist system
- Smart Cruise Control system
- Lane Following Assist sys-
tem
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may prevent
occupants from hearing Driver
Attention Warning system warn-
ing sounds.

- When driving near crash
barriers
- When driving on a sharp
curve
- When driving with limited
view (possibly due to bad
weather, such as fog, snow,
rain or sandstorm)
- When the vehicle sensing
ability decreases due to
vehicle modification result-
ing level difference of the
vehicle's front and rear
- Smart Cruise Control is sup-
plemental systems to assist
you. Do not entirely rely on
the systems. Always pay
attention, while driving, for
your safety.
- When using the Cruise
Control mode, you must
manually adjust the distance
to other vehicles by depress-
ing the brake pedal. The sys-
tem does not automatically
adjust the distance to vehi-
cles in front of you.
Take the following precautions :
Always set the vehicle speed
under the speed limit on the
road that you are driving.
If Smart Cruise Control is left
on, (cruise ( ) indi-
cator light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated) Smart
Cruise Control can be activat-
ed unintentionally. Keep
Smart Cruise Control system
off (cruise ( ) indi-
cator light OFF) when the
Smart Cruise Control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently
setting a speed.
Use Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem only when traveling on
open highways in good
weather.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Smart Cruise Control is not a
collision avoidance or warn-
ing device.
Smart Cruise Control is
designed to only detect vehi-
cles as it cannot detect motor-
cycles, bicycles, or pedestri-
ans.
Do not use Smart Cruise
Control when it may not be
safe to keep the vehicle at a
constant speed:
- When driving in heavy traffic
or when traffic conditions
make it difficult to drive at a
constant speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, or
snow-covered roads
- When driving on a steep
downhill or uphill
- When driving in windy areas
- When driving in parking lots

Some vehicles in your lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor:
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden-
decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile
such as trailers with no loadsA vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing
upwards due to overloading in the
luggage compartment

ing
- When driving to one side of the
lane

Smart Cruise Control is basical-
ly designed to set vehicles as a
target. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to cope with unexpected
situations such as a collision
when the system sets an object
as a target, not vehicles.
