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
(39.4 in.) in front and 120 cm (47 in.)
behind the vehicle.This system is a supplemental sys-
tem and it is not intended to nor does
it replace the need for extreme care
and attention of the driver.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever moving pay as much
attention to what is in front and
behind of you as you would in a vehi-
cle without a parking assist system.

WARNING
The parking assist system
should only be considered as a
supplementary function. The
driver must check the front and
rear view. The operational func-
tion of the parking assist system
can be affected by many factors
and conditions of the surround-
ings, so the responsibility rests
always with the driver.

Operation of the parking
assist system
Operating condition
• This system activates when the
parking assist system button is
pressed with the ignition switch ON.
• The indicator of the parking assist
system button turns on automati-
cally and activates the parking
assist system when you shift the
gear to the R (Reverse) position or
press the SPAS button. It will turn
off automatically when you drive
above 40 km/h (24.8 mph). (If
equipped with SPAS)• If the vehicle speed is above
10km/h (6.2 mph), the parking
assist system will not operate.
• The sensing distance while back-
ing up is approximately 120 cm (47
in.) when you are driving less than
10 km/h (6.2 mph).
• The side sensors are activated
when you shift the gear to the R
(Reverse) position.
• The sensing distance while moving
forward is approximately 100 cm
(39.4 in.) when you are driving less
than 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
• When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
✽NOTICE
It may not operate if it’s distance from
the object is already less than approx-
imately 25 cm when the system is ON.

CAUTION
• This system can only sense
objects within 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 sen-
sors may not be detected by
the sensors.
Always visually check behind
the vehicle when backing up.
• Be sure to inform any drivers
of the vehicle that may be
unfamiliar with the system
regarding the systems capa-
bilities and limitations.

Non-operational conditions of
parking assist system
Parking assist system may not
operate normally when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It
will operate normally when mois-
ture melts.)
2. Sensor is covered with foreign
matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. Sensor is stained with foreign mat-
ter such as snow or water.
(Sensing range will return to nor-
mal when removed.)
4.The parking assist button is off.
There is a possibility of parking
assist system malfunction when:
1. Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
2. Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.
3. Heavy rain or water spray.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile
phones present near the sensor.
5. Sensor is covered with snow.
Detecting range may decrease
when:
1. Outside air temperature is
extremely hot or cold.
2. Undetectable objects smaller than
1 m and narrower than 14 cm in
diameter.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects, which tend to absorb sen-
sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.

✽NOTICE
1. The warning may not sound
sequentially depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
2. The parking assist system may
malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has
been modified. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects
less than 30 cm from the sensor,
or it may sense an incorrect dis-
tance. Use with caution.
4. When the sensor is frozen or
stained with snow or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a
soft cloth.
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the
sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.
✽NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within 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,
or objects located between sensors
may not be detected. Always visual-
ly check in front and behind the
vehicle when driving. Be sure to
inform any drivers in the vehicle
that may be unfamiliar with the sys-
tem regarding the systems capabili-
ties and limitations.
Self-diagnosis
When you shift the gear to the R
(Reverse) position and if one or more
of the below occurs you may have a
malfunction in the rear parking assist
system.
• You don't hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently.
If this occurs, we recommend that
the system be checked by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
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 objects distance, size or mate-
rial, all of which can limit the effec-
tiveness of the sensor. Always
perform a visual inspection to
make sure the vehicle is clear of
all obstructions before moving
the vehicle in any direction.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a park-
ing assist system. Always drive
safely and cautiously.

Features of your vehicle
The Smart Parking Assist System
helps drivers park their vehicle by
using sensors to measure parallel
parking spaces, control the steering
wheel to semi-automatically park the
car and provide instruction on the
LCD display to help through parking.
✽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.
• 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.

WARNING
• The Smart Parking Assist
System should only be con-
sidered as a supplementary
function. 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 factors and condi-
tions of the surroundings, so
the responsibility rests always
with the driver.
• The system may not operate
normally if the vehicle needs
wheel alignment adjustment.
We recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by an author-
ized 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.

conditions for unexpected
results may occur and cause a
serious accident.
1. Parking on inclines
The driver must apply the accel-
erator and brake pedal when
parking on inclines. If the driver
is unfamiliar with applying the
accelerator and brake pedal, a
car accident may occur.

2. Parking in snow
Snow may interfere with sensor
operation or the system may
cancel if the road is slippery
while parking. Also, if the driver
is unfamiliar with applying the
accelerator and brake pedal, a
car accident may occur.
(Continued)(Continued)
3. Parking in narrow space
The system may not search for
