The warning will stop when:
- The detected vehicle moves out of
the sensing area or
- When the vehicle is right behind
your vehicle or
- When the vehicle is not approach-
ing your vehicle or
- When the other vehicle slows
down.
- The vehicle's approaching speed is
decreased.(Continued)
The warning of Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning sys-
tem may not sound while other
system's warning sounds.
When the operating condition
of Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system is satisfied
the warning will occur when a
vehicle approaches the
side/rear of your stopped (0
km/h vehicle speed) vehicle.
The system's warning may
not operate properly if the
left/right of your vehicle's rear
bumper is blocked by a vehi-
cle or obstacle.
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 pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the system's warning sounds.
(Continued)
CAUTION
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system warning may
not sound.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system. Do not sole-
ly rely on the system but
check your surrounding when
backing the vehicle up.
The driver is responsible for
accurate brake control.

Driving your vehicle
Detecting Sensor
The rear radars are located inside
the rear bumper for detecting the
side and rear. Always keep the rear
bumper clean for proper operation 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 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 dis-
played. We recommend that you
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.
NOTICE(Continued)
Always pay extreme caution
while driving. Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning sys-
tem may not operate properly
or unnecessarily operate
depending on traffic and driv-
ing conditions.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices, but a convenience func-
tion only. It is the responsibil-
ity of the driver to always
drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring. Pay
attention to the road condi-
tions at all times.

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.
- When a trailer or carrier is
installed.If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
Information
Turn off BCW and RCCW system (if
equipped) when a trailer or carrier is
installed.
- Press the BCW button (the indica-
tor on the button will turn off)
- Deactivate RCCW system by dese-
lecting
'User settings →Driver assistance
→Parking safety →Rear cross-
traffic safety'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 RCCW 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.

Check Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system
If there is a problem with BCW sys-
tem, a warning message will appear
and the light on the button will turn
off. The system will turn off automat-
ically. RCCW will not operate also if
BCW system turns off due to mal-
function. We recommend that you

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Limitations of the system
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations because the system
may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances:
When a trailer or carrier is
installed.
The vehicle drives in inclement
weather such as heavy rain or
snow.
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 rack, 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
tailgate, abnormal tire pressure,
etc.
When the temperature of the rear
bumper is high.
When the sensors are blocked by
other vehicles, walls or parking-lot
pillars. The vehicle is driven on a curved
road.
The road pavement (or the periph-
eral ground) abnormally contains
metallic components (i.e. possibly

the parking space where there is a
structure at the back or side of your
vehicle.
In certain instances, when backing
into the parking space, the system
may falsely detect the vehicle mov-
ing in front of your vehicle. In this
case, the warning may operate.

Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud and sand, take the
below suggestions:
Drive cautiously and keep a longer
braking distance.
Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
When your vehicle is stuck in snow,
mud, or sand, use second gear.
Accelerate slowly to avoid unnec-
essary wheel spin.
Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or
other non-slip materials under the
wheels to provide additional trac-
tion while the vehicle becomes
stuck in ice, snow, or mud.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right and
left to clear the area around your
front wheels. Then, shift back and
forth between R (Reverse) and a for-
ward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and
do not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait
until the wheels stop spinning before
shifting gears. Release the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting, and press
lightly on the accelerator pedal while
the transmission is in gear. Slowly
spinning the wheels in forward and
reverse directions causes a rocking
motion that may free the vehicle.

If the vehicle is stuck and
excessive wheel spin occurs,
the temperature in the tires can
increase very quickly. If the tires
become damaged, a tire blow
out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous -
you and others may be injured.
Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are anywhere
near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle,
the vehicle can overheat quickly,
possibly causing an engine
compartment fire or other dam-
age. Try to avoid spinning the
wheels as much as possible to
prevent overheating of either the
tires or the engine. DO NOT
allow the vehicle to spin the
wheels above 35 mph (56 km/h).
WARNING
Downshifting with an dual
clutch transmission while driv-
ing on slippery surfaces can
cause an accident. The sudden
change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be care-
ful when downshifting on slip-
pery surfaces.
