LCD display. Go to the 'User Settings
→Driver Assistance →Lane Safety'.
The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA if a function is not
selected.
Lane Keeping Assist
This mode guides the driver to help
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It
rarely controls the steering wheel,
when the vehicle drives well inside
the lanes. However, it starts to con-
trol the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate out of the
lane.
Lane Departure Warning
Lane Departure Warning alerts the
driver with a visual warning and a
warning alarm when the system
detects the vehicle departing the
lane. The steering wheel will not be
controlled.

System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning system
uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driv-
er when it detects an approaching
vehicle in the driver's blind spot area.
1) Blind-Spot Area
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is traveling
much faster than the vehicles around
you, the warning will not occur.2) Closing at high speed
BCW system will alert you when it
detects a vehicle is approaching in
an adjacent lane at a high rate of
speed. If the driver activates the turn
signal when the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.

tem by placing the ignition switch
to the ON position and by select-
ing 'User Settings →Driver

approaches the driver's blind spot
area a warning sounds.
- The system is deactivated and
the indicator on the BCW button
turns off when 'Off' is selected. If you press the BCW button while
'Warning Only' is selected, the indi-
cator on the button turns off and
the system deactivates.
If you press the BCW button while
the system is cancelled, the indica-

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.
CAUTION
OAEE059012
■Rear radar

5-76
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
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.
