WARNING
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
is a supplemental system. The
operation of the system can be
affected by several factors (including
environmental conditions). It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
check the rear view before and while
parking.
• Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle.
• Pay close attention when driving
near objects, pedestrians, and
especially children. Some objects
may not be detected by the
ultrasonic sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor.
Limitations of the system
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may not operate normally when:
- Mois

ture is frozen to the sensor
- Sensor is cov

ered with foreign
material, such as snow or water
(The system will operate normally
when such foreign material are
removed.)
- The w

eather is extremely hot or cold
- The sensor or sensor assembly is disassembled
- The surface o

f the sensor is pressed
hard or an impact is applied with a
hard object
- The surface o

f the sensor is
scratched with a sharp object
- The sensors or its surr

ounding
area is directly sprayed with high
pressure washer •

- Driving on unev

en road, gravel
roads or bushes
- Objects that gener
ates ultrasonic
waves are near the sensor
- Installing the license pla
te
differently from the original location
- The vehicle bumper heigh
t or
ultrasonic sensor installation has
been modified
• The following objects may not be
detected:
-Sharp or slim objects, such as ropes,
chains or small poles.
- Objects, which tend t
o absorb
sensor frequency, such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
- Objects smaller than 40 in. (100 cm) in length and narr

ower than 6 in. (14
cm) in diameter.
• Parking Distance Warning Indicators
may be displayed differently from
the actual detected location when
the obstacle is located between the
sensors.
• Parking Distance Warning indicator
may not occur sequentially depending
on vehicle speed or obstacle shape.
• If Reverse Parking Distance Warning
needs repair, we recommend that the
system be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensors:
• Always keep the rear view camera
and rear ultrasonic sensors clean.
• Do not use any cleanser containing
acid or alkaline detergents when
cleaning the rear view camera lens.
Use only a mild soap or neutral
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
water.
• Never disassemble or apply impact
on the rear view camera or the rear
ultrasonic sensors components.
• Do not apply unnecessary force on
the rear view camera or the rear
ultrasonic sensors. The system may
not operate properly if the rear
view camera or the rear ultrasonic
sensor(s) is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment. We recommend
that the vehicle be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not spray the rear view camera or
the rear ultrasonic sensors or their
surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. It may cause
the rear view camera or the rear
ultrasonic sensors to malfunction.
• The function may not work properly
if the bumper has been damaged,
replaced or repaired.
• Do not apply objects, such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper guard,
near the rear view camera or rear
ultrasonic sensors or apply paint to
the bumper. Doing so may adversely
affect the performance of the
function.
• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate normally if
interfered by strong electromagnetic
waves.
