Parking Assist System
(if equipped)
The Parking Assist System assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within the distance of 100 cm
(39 inches) in front and 120 cm (47
inches) 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 Parking Assist
System
•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.

• Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
• Sensor is covered with foreign mat-
ter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked.
There is a possibility of 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
accessories have been installed, or
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
• Outside air temperature is
extremely hot or cold.
• Undetectable objects smaller than
1 m and narrower than 14 cm in
diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
• Sharp or slim objects such as

✽NOTICE
Sensor may not recognize objects
less than 30 cm from the sensor, or it
may sense an incorrect distance.
Smart Parking Assist System
(SPAS) (if equipped)The Smart Parking Assist System
helps drivers park their vehicle by
using sensors to measure parking
spaces, control the steering wheel to
semi-automatically park the vehicle
and provide instruction on the LCD
display to help through parking.
Additionally, the system provides
assistance when leaving (parallel
exit) a parking space.
The volume for the Smart Parking
Assist System can be adjusted from
the User Settings Mode on the LCD
display. For more details, refer to
"LCD Display" in this chapter. Do not push, scratch or strike
the sensor with any hard
objects that could damage the
surface of the sensor. Sensor
damage could occur.
CAUTION
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.

✽NOTICE
• The vehicle will not stop for pedes-
trians or objects that may be in its
path, so the driver must monitor
the maneuver.
• Use the system only in parking lots
and places used for parking.
• The system does not work if there is
no car parked in front of the park-
ing space you are planning to park
or if it is a diagonal parking space.
• After parking your vehicle using
the system, the vehicle may not be
parked at the exact spot you have
wished. For example, the space
between your vehicle and wall
may not be the distance you have
desired.
• Deactivate the system and park
your vehicle manually, when the sit-
uation requires parking manually.
• The Parking Assist System's front
and rear warning sound activates
when the Smart Parking Assist
System is activated.
(Continued)(Continued)
• After searching for a parking
space is completed, the Smart
Parking Assist System will be can-
celed if the Parking Assist System
is cancelled by pressing the button
to the OFF position.
•The Smart Parking Assist
System should only be consid-
ered as a supplementary func-
tion. The driver must check the
front and rear view for objects.
The operational function of the
Smart Parking Assist System
can be affected by many fac-
tors and conditions of the sur-
roundings, so the responsibili-
ty rests always with the driver.
•The system may not operate
normally if the vehicle needs
wheel alignment adjustment.
We recommend that you have
the vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•If you use a different tire or
wheel size rather than the size
recommended by the HYUNDAI
dealer, the system may not
work properly. Always use the
same size tire and wheel.
•If you use additional frame on
the license plate, SPAS may
generate abnormal warning
sound.
