If you press the BCW/BCA switchwhile 'Active assistance' or
'Warning Only' is selected the indi-
cator on the button will turn off and
the system will deactivate.
If you press the BCW/BCA switch while the system is canceled the
indicator on the button illuminates

state before the vehicle was turned
off.
When the system is initially turned
on and when the vehicle is turnedoff then on again while the system
is in activation, the warning light
will illuminate for 3 seconds on the
outer side view mirror. If the vehicle is turned off then on
again, the system maintains the
previous state.
The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the User
Settings in the "Vehicle settings

boundary of the system, a warninglight will illuminate on the outer side
view mirror.
Once the detected vehicle is no
longer within the blind spot area, the
warning will turn off according to the
driving conditions of the vehicle.

A warning chime to alert the driver will activate when:
1. A vehicle has been detected in the blind spot area by the radar systemAND.
2. The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being detect- ed).
When this alert is activated, the warning light on the outer side view mirror
will also blink. And a warning chime will sound.
If you turn off the turn signal indicator, the second stage alert will be deacti-
vated.

Blind-Spot Collision-AvoidanceAssist (BCA) system
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system may apply brak-
ing power, when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain
distance next to or behind your vehi-
cle.
It gently applies braking power on
the tire, which is located in the oppo-
site side of the possibly-colliding
point. The instrument cluster will
inform the driver of the system acti-
vation.
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illumi-
nate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side bythe system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warninglight and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCA) system. Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-ings while driving.
WARNING
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or notthe warning light on the outer
side view mirror illuminates orthere is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offsetthe Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system warningsounds.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system warn-
ing may not sound.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) system is automatically deacti-
vated when:
- The vehicle drives a certain dis-tance away
- The vehicle direction is changed against the possible-colliding point
- The steering wheel is abruptly moved
- The brake pedal is depressed
- After a certain period of time
The driver should drive the vehicle in
the middle of the vehicle lanes to
keep the system in the ready status.
When the vehicle drives too close to
one side of the vehicle lanes, the
system may not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not prop-
erly control your vehicle in accor-
dance with driving situations. Thus,
always pay close attention to road
situations.Detecting Sensor
(Front View Camera and RearCorner Radar)
The driver is responsible for accurate steering.
Do not unnecessarily operate
the steering wheel, when the
Blind-Spot Collision-AvoidanceAssist System is in operation.
Always pay extreme caution
while driving. The Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist
system may not operate or
unnecessarily operate in
accordance with your drivingsituations.
The Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist system is
not a substitute for safe driv-
ing practices, but a conven-
ience function only. It is theresponsibility of the driver to
always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. Pay attention to the roadconditions at all times.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
Front view camera
The front camera is a sensor detect-
ing the lane. If the sensor is covered
with snow, rain or foreign substance,
the system may temporarily be can-
celed. The system is canceled due to
the degradation of the sensor's
detection performance. Always keepthe sensor clean.
* Refer to Lane Keeping Assist(LKA) System for cautions for the
front camera sensor.
Rear corner radar
The rear radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side and rear areas. Always keep
the rear bumper clean for proper
operation of the system.
The system may not work
properly when the bumper
has been damaged, or if the
rear bumper has beenreplaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs
somewhat according to the
width of the road. When the
road is narrow, the system
may detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
The system may turn off due
to strong electromagnetic
waves.
Always keep the sensors
clean.
NEVER arbitrarily disassem-
ble the sensor component nor
apply any impact on the sen-sor component.
Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the system
may not operate correctly. In
this case, a warning message
may not be displayed. Have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not apply foreign objects
such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor or apply paint to the
sensor area. Doing so may
adversely affect the perform-
ance of the sensor.
NEVER install any acces-
sories or stickers on the front
windshield, nor tint the frontwindshield.
Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out of
water.
NEVER locate any reflective
objects (i.e. white paper, mir-
ror) over the crash pad. Any
light reflection may cause amalfunction of the system.

Warning message
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system disabled.
Radar blocked
This warning message may appear when :
- One or both of the sensors on therear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the sensor does not detect another
vehicle for an extended period of
time.
- When there is inclement weather such as heavy snow or rain. If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW/BCA switch and the
system will turn off automatically.
When the BCW canceled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snowin the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the system should operate normally
after about 10 minutes of driving the
vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Turn off the BCW, BCA and RCCW
system when a trailer or carrier is
installed.
- Press the BCW/BCA switch (the indicator on the switch will turn off)
- Deactivate the RCCW system by deselecting

Driving your vehicle
Check Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system
If there is a problem with the BCW
system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch
will turn off. The system will turn off
automatically. BCA will not operate
also if the BCW system turns off due
to malfunction. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Check Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist (BCA) system
If there is a problem with the BCA
system, a warning message will
appear. The system will turn off auto-
matically. BCW will still operate even
if the BCA system turns off due to
malfunction. Have y our vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer to use BCA system.
Limitations of the System
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
When a trailer or carrier is installed.
The vehicle driven in inclement weather such as heavy rain or
snow.
The sensor is polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc.
The rear bumper where the sensor is located is covered with a foreign
object such as a bumper sticker, a
bumper guard, a bike rack, etc.
The rear bumper is damaged, or the sensor is out of the original
default position.
The vehicle height gets lower or higher due to heavy loading in a
trunk, abnormal tire pressure, etc.
When the temperature of the rear bumper is high.
When the sensors are blocked by other vehicles, walls or parking-lot
pillars.
