When the rear bumper around the rear
corner radar or sensor is covered with
foreign material, such as snow or rain,

reduce the detecting performance and
temporarily limit or disable Blind-Spot

If the function does not operate normally
after it is removed, we recommend
that the function be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
