Reverse Parking Distance Warning
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
will operate when the gear is in R
(Reverse).
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
detects a person, animal or object in
the rear when the vehicle’s rearward
speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• When the vehicle’s rearward speed is
below 6 mph (10 km/h), both the front
and rear ultrasonic sensors will detect
objects. However, the front ultrasonic
sensors can detect a person, animal or
object when it is within 24 in. (60 cm)
from the sensors.

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.
System malfunction and
precautions
System 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 blocked with
foreign material. 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.
• The ‘Parking sensor error or blockage’
warning message appears on the
cluster.

WARNING
• Forward/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 front and rear views before
and while parking.
• Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle due to the malfunction of
Forward/Reverse Parking Distance
Warning.
• 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
• Forward/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 has been
subjected to a hard impact
- The surface o

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

ounding
area is directly sprayed with high
pressure washer •
Forward/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
ected by another vehicle’s
sensors
- The sensor is cov
ered with snow
- 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
- Attaching equipmen
ts or
accessories around the ultrasonic
sensors
• 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.
- Pedes

trians, animals or objects
that are very close to the ultrasonic
sensors
• 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 Forward/Reverse Parking Distance
Warning needs repair, we recommend
that the system be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Rear Active Assist
• If the system detects a risk of collision
with a pedestrian or an object, the
system will warn the driver with an
audible warning and warning message
on the cluster. When Rear View
Monitor is operating, a warning will
appear on the infotainment system
screen.
• If the system detects an imminent
collision with a pedestrian or an
object behind the vehicle, the system
will assist you with braking. The driver
needs to pay attention as the brake
assist will end within 2 seconds. The
driver must immediately depress
the brake pedal and check vehicle
surroundings.
• Brake control will end when:
- The gear is shifted t

o P (Park) or D
(Drive).
- The driver depr

esses the brake
pedal with sufficient power
- Braking assis

t has last for
approximately 2 seconds
• The warning will turn off when:
- The driver shifts the gear t

o P (Park),
N (Neutral), or D (Drive)
• The brake control may not operate
properly depending on the status of
ESC (Electronic Stability Control).
There will only be a warning when:
- The ESC (Electronic S

tability
Control) warning light is on
- ESC (Electronic S

tability Control) is
engaged in a different function

The rear view camera is used as a
detecting sensor to detect pedestrians. If
the camera lens is covered with foreign
material, such as snow or rain, it may
adversely affect camera performance
and Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate normally. Always
keep the camera lens clean.
OTM070079
The rear ultrasonic sensors are located
inside the rear bumper to detect objects
in the rear area. If the sensors are
covered with foreign material, such as
snow or rain, it may adversely affect
sensor performance and Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
operate normally. Always keep the rear
bumper clean.
