Operating conditions
To operate:
1. Go to the 'User Settings →Driver
Assistance →Parking Safety →
Rear Cross-Traffic Safety' on the
LCD display. The system will turn
on and standby to operate.
2. The system will operate when
vehicle speed is below 7 mph (10
km/h) and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
* The system will not operate when
the vehicle speed exceeds 7 mph
(10 km/h). The system will activate
again when the speed is below 7
mph (10 km/h).
The system's detecting range is
approximately 1 ft ~ 65 ft (0.5 m ~ 20
m). An approaching vehicle will be
detected if their vehicle speed is
within 5 ~ 22.5 mph (8 km/h ~ 36
km/h).
Note that the detecting range and
operating speed may vary under cer-
tain conditions. As always, use cau-
tion and pay close attention to your
surroundings when backing up your
vehicle.
Warning message and system
control
If the vehicle detected by the sensors
approaches from the rear left/right
side of your vehicle, the warning
chime will sound, the warning light
on the outside rearview mirror will
blink and a message will appear on
the LCD display. If the rear view mon-
itor system is in activation, a mes-
sage will also appear on the audio or

Driving your vehicle
The warning will stop when:
- The detected vehicle moves out of
the sensing area or
- When the vehicle is right behind
your vehicle or
- When the vehicle is not approach-
ing your vehicle or
- When the other vehicle slows
down.
- The vehicle's approaching speed is
decreased.(Continued)
The warning of Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning sys-
tem may not sound while
other system's warning
sounds.
When the operating condition
of Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system is satisfied
the warning will occur when a
vehicle approaches the
side/rear of your stopped (0
km/h vehicle speed) vehicle.
The system's warning may
not operate properly if the
left/right of your vehicle's rear
bumper is blocked by a vehi-
cle or obstacle.
Always pay attention to road
and traffic conditions while
driving, whether or not the
warning light on the outside
rearview mirror illuminates or
there is a warning alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may pre-
vent occupants from hearing
the system's warning sounds.
(Continued)
CAUTION
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system warning may
not sound.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system. Do not sole-
ly rely on the system but
check your surrounding when
backing the vehicle up.
The driver is responsible for
accurate brake control.

Detecting Sensor
The rear radars are located inside
the rear bumper for detecting the
side and rear. Always keep the rear
bumper clean for proper operation 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 system may turn off if inter-
fered by strong 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 dis-
played. We recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
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.
NOTICE(Continued)
Always pay extreme caution
while driving. Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning sys-
tem may not operate properly
or unnecessarily operate
depending on traffic and driv-
ing conditions.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices, but a convenience func-
tion only. It is the responsibil-
ity of the driver to always
drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring. Pay
attention to the road condi-
tions at all times.

Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system disabled.
Radar blocked
This warning message may appear
when:
- One or both of the sensors on the
rear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the
sensor does not detect another
vehicle for an extended period of
time.
- When there is inclement weather
such as heavy snow or rain.
- When a trailer or carrier is
installed.If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
Information
Turn off BCW and RCCW system (if
equipped) when a trailer or carrier is
installed.
- Press the BCW button (the indica-
tor on the button will turn off)
'User Settings →Driver Assistance
→ Blind-Spot Safety'
- Deactivate RCCW system by dese-
lecting
'User Settings →Driver Assistance
→Parking Safety →Rear Cross-
Traffic Safety'When the BCW canceled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
RCCW system should operate nor-
mally after about 10 minutes of driv-
ing the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally, we recommend that the
vehicle be inspected by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.

ically. RCCW will not operate also if
BCW system turns off due to mal-
function. We recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

The driver must be cautious in the
below situations because the system
may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances:
When a trailer or carrier is
installed.

is located is covered with a foreign
object such as a bumper sticker, a
bumper guard, a bike rack, etc.
The rear bumper is damaged, or
the sensor is out of the original
default position.
The vehicle height gets lower or
higher due to heavy loading in a
tailgate, abnormal tire pressure,
etc.
When the temperature of the rear
bumper is high.
When the sensors are blocked by
other vehicles, walls or parking-lot
pillars. The vehicle is driven on a curved
road.
