windshield for about 10 minutes, or
until the snow and/or ice is removed
before using the windshield wipers to
ensure proper operation.
If you do not remove the snow and/or
ice before using the wiper and washer,
it may damage the wiper and washer
system.

Rear parking assist system
(if equipped)
The Rear Parking Assist System
assists the driver during reverse move-
ment of the vehicle by chiming if any
object is sensed within approximately
120 cm (50 in) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, it
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.
Operation of the Rear Parking
Assist System
Operating condition
• This system will activate when
backing up with the ignition switch
in the ON position. However, if the
vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3
mph), the system may not detect
objects.
• If the vehicle speed exceeds 10
km/h (6 mph), the system will not
warn you even though objects are
detected.
• When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
OAD045110Sensor
•ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are not
any objects or obstacles before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion to prevent a collision.
•Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close
to objects, particularly pedestri-
ans, and especially children.
•Be aware that some objects
may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor.

Types of warning sound and indicator
• The indicator may differ from the
illustration as objects or sensors
status. If the indicator blinks, we
recommend that you have your
vehicle checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If the audible warning does not
sound or if the buzzer sounds
intermittently when shifting into R
(Reverse) position, this may indi-
cate a malfunction with the
Parking Assist System. If this
occurs, we recommend that you
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
Non-operational conditions of
Parking Assist System
The Rear Parking Assist System
may not operate normally when:
• Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
• The sensor is covered with dirt or
debris such as snow or ice, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of the Rear
Parking Assist System malfunction
when:
• Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
• Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
• Heavy rain or water spray is present.
• Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones are present near the sensor.
• The sensor is covered with snow.
• Any non-factory equipment or acces-
sories have been installed, or if the
vehicle bumper height or sensor
installation has been modified.
NOTICE
Types of warning soundIndicator
When an object is approximately
60 to 120 cm (24 to 47 in) from
the rear bumper, the warning
sound beeps intermittently.
When an object is approximately
30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) from
the rear bumper, the warning
sound beeps more frequently.
When an object is within approx-
imately 30 cm (12 in) from the
rear bumper, the warning sound
beeps continuously.

Detecting range may decrease when:
• Outside air temperature is extreme-
ly hot or cold.
• Undetectable objects smaller than
1 m (40 inches) and narrower than
14 cm (6 inches) in diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
• Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
• Objects, which tend to absorb sen-
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
Rear parking assist system pre-
cautions
• The rear parking assist system
may not operate consistently in
some circumstances depending on
the speed of the vehicle and the
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 performance.
• The sensor may not recognize
objects less than 40 cm (15 in)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
• When the sensor is blocked with
snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the rear
parking assist system may be inop-
erative until the snow or ice melts,
or the debris is removed. Use a
soft cloth to wipe debris away from
the sensor.
• Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.• Do not spray the sensors or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a Rear
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.
