System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW)
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
System (BCW) uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
1) Blind-Spot Area
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travelling
much faster than the vehicles around
you, the warning will not occur.2) Closing at high speed
The Lane Change Assist feature will
alert you when a vehicle is approach-
ing in an adjacent lane at a high rate
of speed. If the driver activates the
turn signal when the system detects
an oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA)
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System (BCA) detects the
front lane through the camera
installed on the upper front wind-
screen and detects the side/rear
areas through radar sensors.
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System may activate the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in
accordance with a colliding possibili-
ty with an approaching vehicle whilst
changing lanes. It is to lower the col-
liding risk or mitigate the colliding
damage.

braking power, when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain
distance next to/behind your vehicle.
It gently applies braking power on
the tyre, 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 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
surrounding of the vehicle.

vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
System (BCW). 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 whilst driving.
WARNING
•The driver should always use
extreme caution whilst oper-
ating the vehicle, whether or
not the warning light on the
outside rearview mirror illumi-
nates or there is a warning
alarm.

Front 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-
celled and not work properly until the
cancellation due to the degradation
of the sensor's detection perform-
ance. Always keep the sensor clean.
* Refer to Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
System for cautions for the front
camera sensor.
Rear radar
The rear radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side/rear areas. Always keep the
rear bumper clean for proper opera-
tion of the system.
•The system may not work
properly when the bumper
has been damaged, or if the
rear bumper has been
replaced 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 a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
•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
windscreen, nor tint the front
windscreen.
•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 a
malfunction of the system.
