If the risk of collision is detected while RCCW is generated, brake is controlled. The
instrument cluster will inform the driver of the brake control. If the rear view monitor
system is in activation, a message will also appear on the infotainment system screen.
After the brake control, the driver must immediately depress the brake pedal and
check the surroundings. - The brake activation by the system lasts for about 2 seconds. The driver must pay attention as the brake is disengaged after 2 seconds.

- The brake control by the system is cancelled if the driver depresses the brake pedal
with sufficient power.

- Brake control is activated once for each right/left approach after shifting the shift
button to R (Reverse).
The brake control may not operate properly according to the status of the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control). The same warning message is displayed on the
instrument cluster for this case also.
- When the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light is on.

- When the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is engaged in a different function.

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.
