Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The camera is blocked with a for-
eign object or debris
The camera lens is contaminated
due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass

be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)

vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.) The camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or

backlight that obscures the field of
view)

a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle in the road

ing, such as a basement parking
lot
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The camera is damaged.

such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel. The shadow is on the road by a
median strip, trees, etc.

Information
• The warning chime will turn off
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 system may not operate proper-
ly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surrounding.
• If the sensing area near the rear
bumper is blocked by either a wall
or barrier or by a parked vehicle,
the system sensing area may be
reduced. The system may not work prop-
erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some-
what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
NOTICE
i
With the system activated, the
warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illumi-
nate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system and Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning
(RCCW) system. Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.
WARNING The Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system and
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning (RCCW) system are
not a substitute for proper
and safe driving practices.
Always drive safely and use
caution when changing lanes
or backing up your vehicle.
The Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system and
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning (RCCW) system may
not detect every object along-
side the vehicle.

Detecting Sensor
The sensors are located inside the
rear bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for proper operation of the system.
Warning message
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.If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the Blind-Spot Safety button
and the system will turn off automat-
ically.
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,
BCW system should operate normal-
ly after about 10 minutes of driving
the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

tem, a warning message will appear
and the light on the switch will turn
off. The system will turn off automati-
cally. Have your vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
When a trailer or carrier is
installed.
The vehicle drives in inclement
weather such as heavy rain or
snow.
The sensor is polluted with rain,
snow, mud, etc.
The rear bumper where the sensor
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 the
luggage compartment, abnormal
tire pressure, etc.
When the temperature near the
rear bumper area is high or low. When the sensors are blocked by
other vehicles, walls or parking-lot
pillars.
The vehicle drives on a curved
road or through a tollgate.
The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances such
as a construction zone, railroad,
etc.
There is a fixed object near the
vehicle, such as a guardrail, per-
son, animal, etc.
While going down or up a steep
road where the height of the lane is
different.
When driving through a narrow
road with many trees or bushes.
When driving on wet surfaces.
When driving through a large area
with few vehicles or structures
around, such as a desert, rural
area, etc.
A big vehicle is near such as a bus
or truck.
When other vehicles are close to
your vehicle.
When the other vehicle approach-
es very close.

Driving on a steep grade, over a hill,
or when driving on a curved road.
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
The surrounding of the inside rear
view mirror temperature is high
due to direct sunlight, etc.
When front visibility is poor
The windshield or the camera lens
is blocked with dirt or debris.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a
clear view of the road is obstructed.
Placing objects on the dashboard,
etc.
The sensor cannot detect the lane
because of fog, heavy rain or snow.LKA Function Change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning from the LCD dis-
play. Go to the 'User Settings →
Driver Assistance →Lane Safety →
Lane Departure Warning/LKA/Active
LKA.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW mode alerts the driver with a
visual warning and a warning alarm
when the system detects the vehicle
departing the lane. The steering
wheel will not be controlled.
LKA
LKA mode guides the driver to help
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It
rarely controls the steering wheel,
when the vehicle drives well inside
the lanes. However, it starts to con-
trol the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate out of the
lanes.
Active LKA
Active LKA mode provides more fre-
quent steering wheel control in com-
parison with the Standard LKA
mode. Active LKA can reduce the dri-
ver’s fatigue to assist the steering for
maintaining the vehicle in the middle
of the lane.

Sensor to Detect Distance to
the Vehicle Ahead
Smart Cruise Control uses a sensor
to detect distance to the vehicle
ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the sensor clean.
Warning message
Smart Cruise Control disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris,
Smart Cruise Control system opera-
tion may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display. Remove
any dirt, snow, or debris and clean
the radar sensor lens cover before
operating Smart Cruise Control sys-
tem. Smart Cruise Control system
may not properly activate, if the radar
is totally contaminated, or if any sub-
stance is not detected after the vehi-
cle is in the ready ( ) mode. (e.g.
in an open terrain).
- Driving on rainy, icy, or
snow-covered roads
- Driving on a steep downhill
or uphill
- Driving in windy areas
- Driving in parking lots
- Driving near crash barriers
- Driving on a sharp curve
- Driving with limited view
(possibly due to bad weath-
er, such as fog, snow, rain or
sandstorm)
- The vehicle's sensing ability
decreases due to vehicle
modification, resulting in a
level difference of the vehi-
cle's front and rear
Unexpected situations may
lead to possible accidents.
Pay attention continuously to
road conditions and driving
even when the smart cruise
control system is being oper-
ated.
