WARNING
• Never rely solely on the rear camera
display when backing-up.
• Always look around your vehicle to
make sure there are no objects or
obstacles before moving the vehicle
in any direction to prevent a collision.
• Always pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to objects,
particularly pedestrians, and
especially children.
NOTICE
• Do not spray the camera or its
surrounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from
high pressure water may cause the
device to not operate normally.
• Do not use any cleanser containing
acid or alkaline detergents when
cleaning the lens. Use only a mild
soap or neutral detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with water.
• Always keep the rear view camera
lens clean. If the lens is covered with
foreign material, it may adversely
affect camera performance and
Rear View Monitor may not operate
normally. However, do not use
chemical solvents such as strong
detergents containing high alkaline
or volatile organic solvents (gasoline,
acetone etc.). This may damage the
camera lens.

SURROUND VIEW MONITOR (SVM) (IF EQUIPPED)
ODN8059265ODN8059265
Surround View Monitor system can assist
in parking by allowing the driver to see
around the vehicle.
Operating Conditions
• The engine is running.
• The Parking/View button (1) is pressed
(indicator ON).
• The gear status is on D (Drive), N
(Neutral), R (Reverse). (On P (Park), it
doesn’t work.)
• Vehicle speed is under 10 mph (15
km/h).
Deactivations
• The Parking/View button (1) is pressed
again (indicator OFF).
• Vehicle speed is over 10 mph (15
km/h).
System operation
• When vehicle speed is over 10 mph
(15 km/h), the system will turn off. The
system will not automatically turn on
again, even though vehicle speed gets
below 10 mph (15 km/h). Press the
button (1, indicator ON) again, to turn
on the system.
• When the vehicle is backing up,
the system will turn ON regardless
of vehicle speed or button status.
However, if vehicle speed is over 10
mph (15 km/h) when driving forward,
Surround View Monitor system will
turn off.
• An indicator on the screen appears
when:
-The trunk is opened
-The driver/passenger’s door is
opened
-The side view mirror is folded
• When you set up ‘Surround View
Monitor Auto On’ on the user setting
menu, you can choose Surround
View Monitor system to turn on
automatically in case of the parking
alarm sounds.
• If the system is not operating
normally, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
• Surround View Monitor system is
a parking assist system. Because
the images of the four cameras on
the front, rear, left, and right are
synthesized, the SVM view and
parking guidelines may differ from
the actual vehicle location. So, check
all directions for safety.
• Always keep the camera lens clean.
If the lens is covered with foreign
material, it may adversely affect
camera performance and Surround
View Monitor may not operate
normally. However, do not use
chemical solvents such as strong
detergents containing high alkaline
or volatile organic solvents (gasoline,
acetone etc.). This may damage the
camera lens.

ODN8A059056ODN8A059056[A] : Rear Sensor
Reverse Parking Distance Warning assists
the driver during reverse movement of
the vehicle by chiming if an object is
sensed within the distance of 48 in (120
cm) behind the vehicle.
This function is a supplemental function
that senses objects within the range and
location of the sensors, it cannot detect
objects in other areas where sensors are
not installed.
WARNING
• Always look around your vehicle to
make sure there are not any objects
or obstacles before moving the
vehicle in any direction to prevent a
collision.
• Always pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to objects,
particularly pedestrians, and
especially children.
• Be aware that some objects may
not be visible on the screen or be
detected by the sensors, due to the
objects distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effectiveness
of the sensor.
Operation of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning
Operating condition
• This function will activate when
backing up with the ignition switch in
the ON position. However, if vehicle
speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h), the
function may not detect objects.
• If vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h), the function will not
warn you even though objects are
detected. When more than two objects are sensed at the same time,
the closest one will be recognized
first.

frequency such as clothes, spongy
material or snow.
• Undetectable objects smaller than 40
in (100 cm) and narrower than 6 in (14
cm) in diameter.

Reverse Parking Distance
Warning Precautions
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may not sound consistently
depending on the speed and shapes
of the objects detected.
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may malfunction if the vehicle
bumper height or sensor installation
has been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
• The sensor may not recognize objects
less than 12 in (30 cm) from the
sensor, or it may sense an incorrect
distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is frozen or stained
with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor
may be inoperative until the stains are
removed using a soft cloth.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.
• Do not spray the sensors or its
surrounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from
high pressure water may cause the
