The rear parking assist system assists
the driver during backward movement of
the vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within a distance of 47 in. (120
cm) behind the vehicle. This system is a
supplemental system and it is not intend-
ed to nor does it replace the need for
extreme care and attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the back sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without a rear parking
assist system.
Operation of the rear parking
assist system
D170101AEN
Operating condition
This system will activate when backing
up with the ignition switch ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed over
3 mph (5 km/h), the system may not be
activated correctly.
The sensing distance while the rear parking assist system is in operation is
approximately 47 in. (120 cm).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.
D170102AUN
Types of warning sound
When an object is 47 in. to 32 in. (120cm to 81 cm) from the rear bumper:
Buzzer beeps intermittently.
When an object is 31 in. to 16 in. (80 cm to 41 cm) from the rear bumper:
Buzzer beeps more frequently.
When an object is within 15 in. (40 cm) of the rear bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.

WARNING
The rear parking assist system is a

Non-operational conditions of
rear parking assist system
The rear parking assist system may
not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It willoperate normally when the moisture
has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked. (It will operate
normally when the material is removed
or the sensor is no longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, gradi-
ent).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes) are within
range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow. The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign mat-
ter such as snow or water. (The sens-
ing range will return to normal when
removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be rec-
ognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sen- sor frequency such as clothes, spongy
material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 40 in. (1 m) in height and narrower than 6 in.
(14 cm) in diameter.
D170300AEN
Rear parking assist system pre-
cautions
The rear parking assist system maynot sound sequentially depending on
the speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has been
modified or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor per-
formance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 15 in. (40 cm) from the sen-
sor, or it may sense an incorrect dis-
tance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water, the sensor
may be inoperative until the stains are
removed using a soft cloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sen- sor. Sensor damage could occur.

NOTICE
This system can only sense objects with-
in the range and location of the sensors;
It can not detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed. Also,
small or slim objects, such as poles or
objects located between sensors may not
be detected by the sensors.
Always visually check behind the vehi-
cle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with the
system regarding the systems capabili-
ties and limitations.
D170400AEN
Self-diagnosis
If you don’t hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds intermit-
tently when shifting the gear to the R
(Reverse) position, this may indicate a
malfunction in the rear parking assist sys-
tem. If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
D180000AUN
The hazard warning flasher should be
used whenever you find it necessary to
stop the car in a hazardous location.
When you must make such an emer-
gency stop, always pull off the road as far
as possible.
The hazard warning lights are turned on
by pushing in the hazard switch. This
causes all turn signal lights to blink. The
hazard warning lights will operate even
though the key is not in the ignition
switch.
To turn the hazard warning lights off,
push the switch a second time.
WARNING
Pay close attention when the vehi-
cle is driven close to objects on the
road, particularly pedestrians, and
especially children. Be aware that
some objects may not be detected
by the sensors, due to the object’s
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor. Always perform a visu-
al inspection to make sure the vehi-
cle is clear of all obstructions
before moving the vehicle in any
direction.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle or injuries to its occu-
pants due to a rear parking assist
system malfunction. Always drive
safely and cautiously.

Battery saver function
The purpose of this feature is to pre-vent the battery from being dis-
charged. The system automatically
turns off the exterior lights when the
driver removes the ignition key (smart
key : turns off the engine) and opens
the driver-side door. (in that order)
With this feature, the parking lights will be turned off automatically if the driver
parks on the side of road at night.
If necessary, to keep the lights on
when the ignition key is removed
(smart key : turns off the engine), per-
form the following:
1) Open the driver-side door.
2) Turn the parking lights OFF and ON again using the light switch on the
steering column.
Headlight escort function
(if equipped)
If you turn the ignition switch to the ACC
or OFF position with the headlights ON,
the headlights (and/or tail lights) remain
on for about 20 minutes. However, if the
driver’s door is opened and closed, the
headlights are turned off after 30 sec-
onds.
The headlights can be turned off by
pressing the lock button on the transmit-
ter (or smart key) twice or turning the
light switch to the OFF or Auto position.
However, if you turn the light switch to the
Auto position when it is dark outside, the
headlights will not be turned off.
Headlamp welcome function
(if equipped)
When the headlight switch is in the ON or
AUTO position and all doors (and trunk)
are closed and locked, if you press the
door unlock button on the transmitter (or
the smart key), the parking light will come
on for about 15 seconds. At this time, if
you press the door lock button on the
transmitter (or smart key) the parking
light will turn off immediately.
LIGHTING
CAUTION
If the driver gets out of the vehicle
through other doors (except dri-ver’s door), the battery saver func-tion does not operate and the head-light escort function does not turn off automatically. Therefore, it caus-es the battery to be discharged. Inthis case, make sure to turn off the lamp before getting out of the vehi-cle.
