• When the vehicle is in a complex
parking environment
OHY059018
Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system may
detect vehicles which are parking
or pulling out near your vehicle (for
example: a vehicle leaving beside
your vehicle, a vehicle parking or
pulling out in the rear area, a vehicle
approaching your vehicle making a
turn, etc.). If this occurs, the system
may unnecessarily warn the driver
and control the brake.
Always check your surroundings
while backing up. •
When the vehicle is parked
diagonally
OHY059019[A] : Vehicle
Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system
may be limited when backing up
diagonally, and may not detect the
vehicle approaching from the left or
right. If this occurs, the system may
not warn the driver or control the
brakes when necessary.
Always check your surroundings
while backing up.
• When the vehicle is on or near a
slope
OCN7060102
Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system
may be limited when the vehicle is
on a uphill or downhill slope, or near
it, and may not detect the vehicle
approaching from the left or right. If
this occurs, the system may not warn
the driver or control the brakes when
necessary.
Always check your surroundings
while backing up.

• Pulling into the parking space where
there is a structure
OHY059022[A] : Structure, [B] :Wall
Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system
may detect vehicles passing by
in front of you when parking in
reverse into a parking space with a
wall or structure in the rear or side
area. If this occurs, the system may
unnecessarily warn the driver and
control the brake.
Always check your surroundings
while backing up. •
When the vehicle is parked rearward
OHY059020
Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system may
detect vehicles passing by behind
you when parking in reverse into
a parking space. If this occurs, the
system may unnecessarily warn the
driver and control the brake.
Always check your surroundings
while backing up.
WARNING
• When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, we recommend that
Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system is
turned off due to safety reasons.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system may
not operate normally if interfered by
strong electromagnetic waves.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system may
not operate for 15 seconds after the
vehicle is started, or the rear corner
radars are initialized.

audible warning will sound.
• When more than two objects are
detected at the same time, the closest
one will be warned with an audible
warning.
• The shape of the indicator in the
illustration may differ from the actual
vehicle.
Function malfunction and
precautions
Function malfunction
After starting the engine, a beep will
sound when the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse) to indicate the system is
operating normally.
However, if one or more of the following
occurs, first check whether the ultrasonic
sensor is damaged or whether the
system is in a non operating condition.
If it still does not work properly,
we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• The audible warning does not sound.
• The buzzer sounds intermittently.

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 •
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may malfunction when:
- Hea
vy rain or water spray is present
- Wa

ter flows on the surface of the
sensor
- Aff

- The sensor is cov

- Driving on unev

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.

Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist can warn the driver or can
assist with braking to help reduce the
possibility of collision with a pedestrian
or an object when backing up.
WARNING
• ALWAYS look around your vehicle to
make sure there are no pedestrians
or objects before moving the vehicle.
• Do not solely rely on the system.
Doing so may lead to vehicle damage
or injuries.
• Some objects may not be detected
by the rear ultrasonic sensors due
to the objects distance, size or
material, all of which can limit the
effectiveness of the sensor.

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.
