Detecting Sensor
The rear corner radars are located
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side and rear areas. Always keep
the rear bumper clean for proper
operation of the system. The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surroundings of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
system. Do not solely rely on
the system but check your
surroundings before chang-
ing lanes or backing the vehi-
cle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some situations due
to system limitations so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.
WARNING
Always pay attention to road
and traffic conditions while
driving, whether or not the
warning light on the outside
rearview mirror illuminates or
there is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
system warning sounds.
The warning of Blind-Spot
Collision Warning system may
not sound while other sys-
tem's warning sounds.

Driving your vehicle
The system may not work prop-
erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some-
what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off if inter-
fered by strong electromagnetic
waves.
Always keep the sensors clean.
NEVER disassemble the sensor
component or apply any impact
on the sensor component.
Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the system may not
operate correctly. In this case, a
warning message may not be
displayed. We recommend that
the vehicle be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not apply foreign objects
such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor or apply paint to the sen-
sor area. Doing so may adverse-
ly affect the performance of the
sensor.
