• When the vehicle is in a complex
parking environment
ORG3070071
Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system may
detect vehicles which are parking
or pulling out near your vehicle (for
example: a vehicle leaving beside
your vehicle, a vehicle parking or
pulling out in the rear area, a vehicle
approaching your vehicle making a
turn, etc.). If this occurs, the system
may unnecessarily warn the driver
and control the brake.
Always check your surroundings
while backing up.
• When the vehicle is parked
diagonally

FORWARD/REVERSE PARKING DISTANCE WARNING (PDW)
Forward/Reverse Parking Distance
Warning will warn the driver if an
obstacle is detected when the vehicle
is moving forward or backward at low
speeds.
WARNING
• Forward/Reverse Parking Distance
Warning is a supplemental system.
The operation of the system can be
affected by several factors (including
environmental conditions). It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
check the front and rear views before
and while parking.
• Pay close attention when driving
near objects, pedestrians, and
especially children.
Some objects may not be detected
by the ultrasonic sensors, due to the
objects distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effectiveness
of the sensor.
• Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or damage
to the vehicle or injuries to its
occupants.

material, such as snow or water
(The system will operate normally
when such foreign material are
removed.)
• Forward/Reverse Parking Distance
Warning may malfunction when:
-Driving on uneven road, gravel
roads or bushes

waves such as vehicle horns, loud
motorcycle engine sound or truck
air brakes are near the sensor
-Heavy rain or water spray is
present
-Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sensor

-Affected by another vehicle’s
sensors
-Water flows on the surface of the
sensor
-Installing the license plate
differently from the original
location
• Detecting range may decrease when:
-Sensor is covered with foreign
material, such as snow or water
(The system will operate normally
when such foreign material are
removed.)
-The weather is extremely hot or
cold
• The following objects may not be
detected:
-Sharp or slim objects, such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
-Objects, which tend to absorb
sensor frequency, such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
-Objects smaller than 40 in. (100
cm) in length and narrower than
6 in. (14 cm) in diameter.

System Operation
Operating conditions
ORG3070081
• When the Parking Safety ()
button is pressed while the engine
running, the button indicator light will
illuminate and will operate when the
vehicle moves forward or backward.
• When the button is off (button
indicator light off), if you shift the
gear to R (Reverse), the system will
automatically turn on.
• Forward/Reverse Parking Distance
Warning system may not operate
properly at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h). If vehicle speed is above
6 mph (10 km/h), the system will not
warn the driver, and if vehicle speed is
above 12 mph (20 km/h), the system
will turn off (button indicator light off).
à If equipped with Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist or Remote
Smart Parking Assist, Forward/
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system will turn off (button indicator
light off) when vehicle speed is above
18 mph (30 km/h).
Although you drive below 12 mph
(20 km/h) again, the system will
not turn on. If necessary, press the
Parking Safety (
) button.
• When an obstacle is detected, it
is displayed on the cluster and
infotainment system screen.
• When more than two objects are
detected at the same time, the closest
one will be warned with an audible
warning.

• The corresponding indicator will illuminate whenever each ultrasonic senor detects
a object in its sensing range.
• Only the front sensors warn the driver when moving forward. The rear and front-
side sensors warn the driver when moving backward. However, the object must be
within 24 in. (60 cm) from the front-side sensors to operate.
• If an object is within 12 in. (30 cm) from the ultrasonic sensors, the sensors may not
detect the object, or a sensor out of the detecting range may warn the driver.
• Distance warning may not occur sequentially depending on vehicle speed or
obstacle shape.
• Indicators and warning sounds may differ from the illustration when obstacles are
located in the center of the sensor, obstacles are located in close proximity to the
vehicle, or in various circumstances.
• The shape of the indicator in the illustration may differ from the actual vehicle.

System Malfunction and
Precautions
System malfunction
Forward/Reverse Parking Distance
Warning has a self-diagnosis function
that can determine whether the
ultrasonic sensor is working properly.
After starting the engine, a beep will
sound when the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse) to indicate the system is
operating normally.
However, if one or more of the following
occurs, first check whether the ultrasonic
senior is damaged or whether the system
is in a non-operating condition. If it still
does not work properly, have the system
inspected by an authorized retailer of
Genesis products.
• The audible warning does not sound.
• The buzzer sounds intermittently.
• The ‘Parking sensor error or blockage’
warning message appears on the
cluster.
ORG3070077L
System precautions
• Forward/Reverse Parking Distance
Warning may malfunction if the
vehicle bumper height or ultrasonic
sensor installation has been modified
or damaged. Any non-factory installed
equipment or accessories may also
interfere with the sensor performance.
• When the ultrasonic sensor is frozen
or stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be not operate until
the stains are removed using a soft
cloth.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the
ultrasonic sensor. Sensor damage
could occur.
• Do not spray the ultrasonic sensors
or its surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer.

Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may warn the driver or may
assist with braking to help reduce the
possibility of collision with a pedestrian
or an object when backing up.
WARNING
• ALWAYS look around your vehicle to
make sure there are no pedestrians
or objects before moving the vehicle.
• Do not solely rely on the system.
Doing so may lead to vehicle damage
or injuries.
• 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.
