Avoidance Assist judges that there is a
collision risk with an approaching vehicle
in the blind spot, it can help avoid a
collision by applying the brake.
Detecting sensor
OOSN051017N
OOSN071004N[1] : Front view camera,
[2] : Rear corner radar
Refer to the picture above for the
detailed location of the detecting
sensors.
CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensor:

[Never disassemble the rear corner
radar or radar assembly, or cause any
damage to it.

[ If the rear corner radar or near
the radar has been damaged or
impacted in any way even though
the warning message does not
appear on the cluster, Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
operate properly. We recommend
that the vehicle be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

[ If the rear corner radars have been
replaced or repaired, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

[ Use only genuine parts to repair the
rear bumper where the rear corner
radar is located.

[ Do not apply license plate frame or
objects, such as a bumper sticker,
film or a bumper guard near the rear
corner radar.

[ Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not work properly if the
bumper has been replaced, or the
surroundings of the rear corner radar
have been damaged or paint has
been applied.

[ If a trailer, carrier, etc., is installed,
it may adversely affect the
performance of the rear corner radar
or Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate.
Information
For more details on the precautions of
the front view camera, refer to “Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)” section
in chapter 7.

WARNING

[ Reverse Parking Distance Warning
is a supplemental function. The
operation of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning 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 due to driver error.

[ 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 Reverse Parking
Distance Warning

[Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may not operate properly when:
- Moisture is frozen to the sensor
- Sensor is covered with substance, such as snow or water (Reverse
Parking Distance Warning will
operate properly when such foreign
substance is removed.)

- The weather is extremely hot or cold
- The sensor or sensor assembly is disassembled
- The surface of the sensor is pressed hard or hit with a hard object
- The surface of the sensor is scratched with a sharp object
- The sensors or its surrounding area is directly sprayed with high

- The sensor is covered with snow or ice
- Driving on uneven road, gravel roads or bushes
- Objects that generates ultrasonic waves are near the sensor
- License plate is installed in a different spot from the original
location
- The vehicle bumper height or ultrasonic sensor installation has

spongy material or snow.
- Objects smaller than 40 in. (100 cm) in length and narrower than 6 in. (14
cm) in diameter.
- Pedestrians, 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 Reverse Parking Distance Warning
needs repair, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
