Detecting Sensor
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.
The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side bythe system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warninglight and neglect to see the
surroundings of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
system. Do not solely rely on
the system but check your
surroundings before chang-
ing lanes or backing the vehi-
cle up.
The system may not alert the driver in some situations dueto system limitations so
always check your surround-ings while driving.
WARNING
Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions while
driving, whether or not thewarning light on the outside
rearview mirror illuminates orthere is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
Blind-Spot Collision Warningsystem warning sounds.
The warning of Blind-Spot
Collision Warning system maynot sound while other sys-tem's warning sounds.

Information
The system may suggest a break
according to the driver's driving pat-
tern or habits even if the driver does-
n't feel fatigue. Driver Attention Warning system
utilizes the front view camera sen-
sor on the front windshield for its
operation. To keep the front viewcamera sensor in the best condi-
tion, you should observe the fol-
lowings:
Never install any accessories or
stickers on the front windshield,
or tint the front windshield.
NEVER place any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may cause a malfunc-
tion of Driver Attention Warningsystem.
Pay extreme caution to keep the front view camera sensor dry.
NEVER disassemble the front view camera assembly, nor
apply any impact on the front
view camera assembly.

If the sensor is forcibly moved
out of proper alignment, the sys-
tem may not operate correctly.
We recommend that you take
your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked for calibration.
