The BSD (Blind spot detection) sys-
tem uses a radar sensor to alert the
driver while driving.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides information to
the driver.
1 BSD (Blind spot detection)
When a vehicle approaches you and
is detected in your blind spot area,
the system will warn you. The warn-
ing range depends on your vehicle
speed. However, if your vehicle is
about 6 mph (10 km/h) faster than the
other vehicle, the system will not
warn you.
2 LCA (Lane change assist)
When a vehicle approaches you at
high speed, the system will warn you.
3 RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves rearward
and the sensor detects an approach-
ing vehicle on either the left or right
side, the system will warn you.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
While driving, keep your eyes on the road and be aware of
your surroundings even
though the BSD (Blind spot
detection) system is operat-
ing.
The BSD (Blind spot detec- tion) system is a convenient
feature designed to assist the
driver. However, do not rely
solely on the system to alert
you when vehicles are
approaching. Always pay
proper attention to your sur-
roundings and use caution
when changing lanes.

2nd stage
The second stage alarm will activate
when:
1.The first stage alert is on
2.The turn signal is on to change a
lane. When the second stage alert is acti-
vated, a warning light will blink on the
outside rearview mirror housing and
a warning alarm will sound.
If you move the turn signal switch
back to its original position, the sec-
ond stage alert will be deactivated.

Warning message
If the detecting sensor performance
is low or overheated by foreign sub-
stances on the rear bumper, the
message will appear to notify the
driver. Also, a warning message may
appear when there is heavy rain or in
a large area with nothing to detect. If
this occurs, inspect the rear bumper
for any debris or dirt which may
affect the operation of the BSD sen-
sor. If the system does not activate
normally after removing the sub-
stances on the rear bumper, consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.If there is a problem with BSD, a warn-
ing message will appear to notify the
driver. If this occurs, have a vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Rear cross traffic alert
When your vehicle moves backwards
from a parking position, the sensor
detects approaching vehicles to the
left or right side direction and gives
information to the driver.

Operating conditions - RCTA
When the ignition is ON, if you
press the BSD switch, the switch
indicator illuminates and the system
turns on.
The system operates when the vehicle speed is below 6.2 mph (10
km/h) when the gear shift lever is in
reverse (R).
The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) detecting range is 0.5 - 20m (1.6 -
65.6 ft) based on the side direction.
If an approaching vehicle is within
the sensing range and is traveling
at a speed of 2.5 - 22 mph (4 - 36
km/h), the system will detect the
vehicle. However, the system sens-
ing range may vary based on the
surrounding conditions. Always
use good judgment and pay atten-
tion to your surroundings while
driving even while using the BSD
system.
Warning type
If the vehicle detected by sensorsapproaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound and the warn-
ing light will blink on the outside
rearview mirror.
If the detected vehicle is out of the sensing range from behind your
vehicle, moves in the opposite
direction away from your vehicle or
moves slowly, the warning is can-
celled.
The system may not operate prop- erly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings. ❈
If the left or right side bumper of
your vehicle is blocked by a barrier
or another vehicle, the system
sensing ability may be limited.
WARNING
The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror housing
will illuminate 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
surroundings of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the vehicle is equipped with a
BSD (Blind spot detection)
system. Do not solely rely on
the system but check for your-
self before changing lanes.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check the surround-
ings while driving.

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure indicator will come on.
Have the flat tire repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible or replace the flat tire
with the spare tire. The spare tire (if equipped) does not
come with a tire pressure monitoring
sensor. When the low pressure tire or
the flat tire is replaced with the spare
tire, the Low Tire Pressure Telltale
will remain on. Also, the TPMS
Malfunction Indicator will illuminate
after blinking for one minute if the
vehicle is driven at speed above 15.5
mph (25 km/h) for approximately 20
minutes.
Once the original tire equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring sensor is
reinflated to the recommended pres-
sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the Low Tire Pressure Telltale and
TPMS Malfunction Indicator will go
off within a few minutes.
If the indicators do not extinguish
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem (except for
the spare tire). You must use TPMS
specific wheels. It is recommended
that you always have your tires serv-
iced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.You may not be able to identify a tire
with low pressure by simply looking
at it. Always use a good quality tire
pressure gauge to measure. Please
note that a tire that is hot (from being
driven) will have a higher pressure
measurement than a tire that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
CAUTION
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved byHYUNDAI to repair and/or inflatea low pressure tire. Tire sealantnot approved by HYUNDAI maydamage the tire pressure sen-sor.

NOTICE
If any of the below happens, we rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
1.The low tire pressure telltale/
TPMS malfunction indicator does
not illuminate for 3 seconds when
Engine Start/Stop button is turned
to the ON or engine is running.
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator remains illuminated after blinking
for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low tire pressure position telltale remains illuminated.

Low tire pressure position tell-
tale and tire pressure telltale
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and warning massage dis-
played on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tires is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The low tire
pressure position telltale light will
indicate which tire is significantly
under-inflated by illuminating the cor-
responding position light. If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver’s side cen-
ter pillar outer panel. If you cannot
reach a service station or if the tire
cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tire with a
spare tire.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 15.5 mph
(25 km/h) after replacing the low
pressure tire with the spare tire, the
below will happen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel.

Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the low tire pressure position
telltale will not be displayed even
though the vehicle has an under-
inflated tire.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the
low tire pressure telltale mayilluminate if the tire pressurewas adjusted to the recom-mended tire inflation pressurein warm weather. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunction-ing because the decreased tem-perature leads to a lowering oftire pressure.
When you drive your vehiclefrom a warm area to a cold areaor from a cold area to a warmarea, or the outside temperatureis higher or lower, you shouldcheck the tire inflation pressureand adjust the tires to the rec-ommended tire inflation pres-sure.
WARNING- Low pressure
damage
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tires can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.

Allow the tire to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tire is cold before inflating to
the recommended pressure.CAUTION
The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may blink for approximate-ly 1 minute and then remaincontinuously illuminated if thevehicle is moving around elec-tric power supply cables orradios transmitter such as atpolice stations, governmentand public offices, broadcast-ing stations, military installa-tions, airports, or transmittingtowers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of theTire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).
The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may blink for approximate-ly 1 minute and then remaincontinuously illuminated ifsnow chains are used or someseparate electronic devicessuch as notebook computer,mobile charger, remote starteror navigation etc., are used inthe vehicle.
This can interfere with normaloperation of the Tire PressureMonitoring System (TPMS).
CAUTION
NEVER use a puncture-repair-ing agent to repair and/or inflatea low pressure tire. The tiresealant can damage the tirepressure sensor. If used, youwill have to replace the tire pres-sure sensor.
