Detecting Sensors
ODN8069031LODN8069031L
The rear corner radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting the
side and rear areas. Always keep the rear
bumper clean for proper operation of the
system.
CAUTION
• The system may not work properly
when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper has
been replaced or repaired.
• The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
• Always keep the sensors clean.
• NEVER arbitrarily disassemble the
sensor component nor apply any
impact on the sensor component.
• Be careful not to apply unnecessary
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 sensor area. Doing so may
adversely affect the performance of
the sensor.

Exterior Care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
High-pressure washing
• When using high-pressure washers, make sure to maintain sufficient
distance from the vehicle. Insufficient
clearance or excessive pressure can
lead to component damage or water
penetration.
• Do not spray the camera, sensors or its surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock applied
from high pressure water may cause
the device to not operate normally.
• Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be damaged
if they come into contact with high
pressure water.
• Do not use any high-pressure nozzles, which induce either one-direct water
stream or water swirling.
Protecting your vehicle’s finish
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from
rus
t and deterioration, wash it thoroughly
and frequently at least once a month
with lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to the
removal of any accumulation of salt, dirt,
mud, and other foreign materials. Make
sure the drain holes in the lower edges
of the doors and rocker panels are kept
clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, should be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle
thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.
WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see
if they have been affected by water
before getting on the road. If braking
performance is impaired, dry the
brakes by applying them lightly while
maintaining a slow forward speed.
NOTICE
• Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents or hot water, and do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight
or when the body of the vehicle is
warm.
• Be careful when washing the side
windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressure water,
water may leak through the windows
and wet the interior.
• To prevent damage to the plastic
parts, do not clean with chemical
solvents or strong detergents.
