Detecting Sensor
The rear radars are located inside
the rear bumper for detecting the
side and rear. Always keep the rear
bumper clean for proper operation ofthe system. The system may not work prop-
erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumperhas been replaced or repaired.
The system may turn off if inter- fered by strong 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 unneces- sary 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 dis-
played. We recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

mally after about 10 minutes of driv-
ing the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally, we recommend that the
vehicle be inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
