„„Type A„„Type B
OTM070124NOTM070124L
When the rear bumper around the rear-
side radar or sensor is covered with
foreign material, such as snow or rain,
or installing a trailer or carrier, it can
reduce the detecting performance and
temporarily limit or disable Rear Cross-
Traffic Safety system.
If this occurs, the ‘Rear Cross-Traffic
Safety system disabled. Radar blocked’ (or ‘Rear cross-traffic safety functions disabled. Radar blocked’) warning message will appear on the cluster.
Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system will
operate normally when such foreign
material or trailer, etc. is removed.
If Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system does
not operate normally after it is removed,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may unnecessarily warn the driver
or assist with braking even if there are
no pedestrians or objects under the
following circumstances:
• Any non-factory equipment or
accessory is installed
• Your vehicle is unstable due to an
accident or other causes
• Bumper height or rear ultrasonic
sensor installation has been modified
• Your vehicle height is low or high
due to heavy loads, abnormal tire
pressure, etc.
• Rear view camera or the rear
ultrasonic sensor(s) is stained with
foreign material, such as snow, dirt,
etc.
• The pattern on the road is mistaken
for a pedestrian
• There is shadow or light reflecting on
the ground
• Pedestrians or objects are around the
path of the vehicle
• Objects generating excessive
noise, such as vehicle horns, loud
motorcycle engines or truck air
brakes, are near your vehicle
• Your vehicle is backing towards a
narrow passage or parking space
• Your vehicle is backing towards an
uneven road surface, such as an
unpaved road, gravel, bump, gradient,
etc.
• A trailer or carrier is installed on the
rear of your vehicle
• An ultrasonic sensor with similar
frequency is near your vehicle WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist:
• Always pay extreme caution while
driving. The driver is responsible for
controlling the brake for safe driving.
• Always pay attention to road and
traffic conditions while driving,
whether or not there is a warning.
• Always look around your vehicle to
make sure there are no pedestrians
or objects before moving the vehicle.
• The performance of Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist may
vary under certain conditions. If
vehicle speed is above 2 mph (4
km/h), Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist will provide
collision avoidance assist only when
pedestrians are detected. Always
look around and pay attention when
backing up your vehicle.
• Some objects may not be detected
by the rear ultrasonic sensors due
to the objects distance, size or
material, all of which can limit the
effectiveness of the sensor.
• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate properly
or may operate unnecessarily
depending on the road conditions
and the surroundings.
• Do not solely rely on Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist. Doing
so may lead to vehicle damage or
injuries.

Driver assistance system7-148
CAUTION
• Noise may be heard when sudden
braking occurs to avoid a collision.
• If any other warning sound such
as the seat belt warning chime is
already generated, Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
may not sound.
• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not work properly if the
bumper has been damaged, replaced
or repaired.
• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate normally if
interfered by strong electromagnetic
waves.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may prevent passengers
from hearing Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
sounds.
• Turn off Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist when towing a
trailer. If towing and moving in
reverse, Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist will activate as it
detects the trailer.
CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensors:
• Always keep the rear view camera
and rear ultrasonic sensors clean.
• Do not use any cleanser containing
acid or alkaline detergents when
cleaning the rear view camera lens.
Use only a mild soap or neutral
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
water.
• Do not spray the rear view camera or
the rear ultrasonic sensors or their
surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. It may cause
the rear view camera or the rear
ultrasonic sensors to malfunction.
• Do not apply objects, such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper guard,
near the rear view camera or rear
ultrasonic sensors or apply paint to
the bumper. Doing so may adversely
affect the performance of Reverse
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist.
• Never disassemble or strike the rear
view camera or the rear ultrasonic
sensors components.
• Do not strike or pry the rear view
camera or the rear ultrasonic
sensors. Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not operate
properly if the rear view camera
or the rear ultrasonic sensor(s)
is forcibly moved out of proper
alignment. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist can detect a pedestrian or an object
when:
• A pedestrian is standing behind the
vehicle
• A large obstacle, such as a vehicle,
is parked in the rear center of your
vehicle

When driving with the compact spare tire
mounted to your vehicle:
• Check the tire pressure after installing
the compact spare tire. The compact
spare tire should be inflated to 420
kPa (60 psi).
• Do not take this vehicle through
an automatic car wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use the compact spare tire on
any other vehicle because this tire
has been designed especially for your
vehicle.
• The compact spare tire’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tire. Inspect
your compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on
the same wheel.
• Do not use more than one compact
spare tire at a time.
• Do not tow a trailer while the compact
spare tire is installed. Information
When the original tire and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
wheel bolt torque must be set correctly.
The correct wheel bolt tightening torque is
79~94 lbf.ft (11~13 kgf.m).
NOTICE
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tire and your vehicle:
• Drive slowly enough for the road
conditions to avoid all hazards, such
as a potholes or debris.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 25
mm (1 inch).
• Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly.
• Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.

the following conditions apply. If any of the following conditions apply, you must follow
the Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions.
• Repeated driving short distance of less than 5 miles (8 km) in normal temperature or
less than 10 miles (16 km) in freezing temperature
• Extensive engine idling or low speed driving for long distances
• Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, graveled or salt-spread roads
• Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold weather
• Driving in heavy dust conditions
• Driving in heavy traffic area
• Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain road repeatedly

• Frequently driving under high speed or rapid acceleration/deceleration
• Frequently driving in stop-and-go condition
• Engine oil usage which is not recommended (Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Lower
grade spec, etc.)
If your vehicle is operated under the above conditions, you should inspect, replace
or refill more frequently than the following Normal Maintenance Schedule. After the
periods or distance shown in the chart, continue to follow the prescribed maintenance
intervals.
Information
• As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should
be checked on regular basis.
• The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of
the recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification
is not used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under
severe operating conditions.
