System Description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
system uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driver
of an approaching vehicle in the driver's
blind spot area.
1. Blind-Spot Area
OQX059143N
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
OQX059060N
Blind-Spot Collision Warning 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.
WARNING
• Always be aware of road conditions
while driving and be alert for
unexpected situations even though
Blind-Spot Collision Warning system
is operating.
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning system
is supplemental systems to assist
you. Do not entirely rely on the
systems. Always pay attention, while
driving, for your safety.
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning system
is not a substitute for proper and safe
driving. Always drive safely and use
caution when changing lanes.
Blind-Spot Collision Warning

WARNING
• The warning light on the outer side
view mirror will illuminate 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 Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system. Do not solely
rely on the system but check your
surroundings before changing lanes
or backing the vehicle up.
• The system may not alert the driver
in some situations due to system
limitations so always check your
surroundings while driving.
CAUTION
• 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 system at
high volume may prevent occupants
from hearing Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system warning sounds.
• If any other warning sound such as
seat belt warning chime is already
generated, Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system warning may not
sound.
Detecting Sensor
OQX069011L
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.
NOTICE
• The system may not work properly
when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper has
been replaced or repaired.
• The sensing range differs somewhat
according to the width of the road.
When the road is narrow, the system
may detect other vehicles in the next
lane.
• The system may turn off if interfered
by 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 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.

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.
If any of these conditions occur, the light
on the BCW switch and the system will
turn off automatically.
When 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
system should operate normally after
about 10 minutes of driving the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
