Warning and System Control
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system
First stage alert
If a vehicle is detected within the
boundary of the system, a warning
light will illuminate on the outer side
view mirror and the head up display.
If the detected vehicle is no longer
within the blind spot area, the warn-
ing will turn off according to the driv-
ing conditions of the vehicle.
[A] : Warning sound
Second stage alert
A warning chime to alert the driver
will activate when:
1. A vehicle has been detected in the
blind spot area by the radar sys-
tem (the warning light will illumi-
nate on the outer side view mirror
and/or the head up display (i.e, in
the first stage alert)) AND
2. The turn signal is applied (same
side as where the vehicle is being
detected).
When this alert is activated, the

If the detected vehicle is no longer
within the blind spot area, the warn-
ing will turn off according to the driv-
ing conditions of the vehicle.
• The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illumi-
nate 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 outer
side view illuminates or there
is a warning alarm.
• Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system warning
sounds.
• If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system warning may
not sound.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist system may apply braking
power, when an approaching vehicle
is detected within a certain distance
next to or behind your vehicle.
In this situation, the system gently
apply braking power on the tire,
which is located in the opposite side
of the possible-colliding point. The
instrument cluster will inform the
driver of the system activation.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
system is automatically deactivated
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
conditions.

Detecting Sensor
(Camera and Radar)
Front camera
The front camera function as a sen-
sor detecting the lane. If the sensor is
covered with snow, rain or foreign
substance, the system may tem-
porarily be canceled and not work
properly. Always keep the sensor
clean.
Refer to Lane Keeping Assist
System for cautions for the front
camera sensor.
Rear radar
The rear radars are located inside
the rear bumper for detecting the
side and rear areas. Always keep the
rear bumper clean for proper opera-
tion of the system.• 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 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. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
• 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.
• NEVER install any accessories
or stickers on the front wind-
shield, or tint the front wind-
shield.
• Pay extreme caution to keep the
camera sensor dry.
• NEVER place any reflective
objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)
over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may prevent the sys-
tem from functioning properly.
