System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW)
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
System (BCW) uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
1) Blind-Spot Area
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travelling
much faster than the vehicles around
you, the warning will not occur.2) Closing at high speed
The Lane Change Assist feature will
alert you when a vehicle is approach-
ing in an adjacent lane at a high rate
of speed. If the driver activates the
turn signal when the system detects
an oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.

ready to be activated when
'Warning only' is selected. Then,
if a vehicle approaches the dri-
ver's blind spot area a warning
sounds.
- The system is deactivated and
the indicator on the BCW button
is extinguished when 'Off' is
selected.
• If you press BCW button whilst
'Warning only' is selected the indi-
cator on the button extinguishes
and the system deactivates.• If you press BCW button whilst the
system is cancelled the indicator
on the button illuminates and the
system activates. In this case, the
system returns to the state before
the engine turned off.
When the system is initially turned
on and when the engine is turned
off then on again whilst the system
is in activation, the warning light
will illuminate for 3 seconds on the
outside rearview mirror.
• If the engine is turned off then on
again, the system maintains the

Spot Collision Warning includes
the following:
- Normal:
When this condition is selected,
the initial Blind-Spot Collision
Warning is activated normally. If
this setting feels too sensitive
change the option to 'later'.
The warning activation time may
feel late if the side/rear vehicle
abruptly accelerates.
- Later:
Select this warning activation
time when the traffic is light and
you are driving in a low speed.
However, if you change the warn-
ing activation time, the warning
activation time of vehicle's other
system may also change. Check
the warning activation time before
changing it.• The driver can select the warning
volume of Blind-Spot Collision

AND.
2. The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being
detected).
When this alert is activated, the warning light on the outside rearview mir-
ror and the head up display (if equipped) will also blink. And a warning

Detecting Sensor
Rear radar
The rear radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side/rear areas. Always keep the
rear bumper clean for proper opera-
tion of the system.
Driving your vehicle
•The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate 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
System (BCW). 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 whilst driving.
WARNING
•The driver should always use
extreme caution whilst oper-
ating the vehicle, whether or
not the warning light on the
outside rearview mirror illumi-
nates or there is a warning
alarm.
•Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning System warning
sounds.
•The warning of the Blind-Spot
Collision Warning System
may not sound whilst other
system's warning sounds.

• 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.

•The system may not work
properly when the bumper
has been damaged, or if the
rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
•The sensing range differs
somewhat according to the
width of the road. When the
road is narrow, the system
may detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
•The system may turn off due
to strong electromagnetic
waves.
•Always keep the sensors
clean.
•NEVER arbitrarily disassem-
ble the sensor component nor
apply any impact on the sen-
sor component.
•Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the system
may not operate correctly. In
this case, a warning message
may not be displayed. Have
the vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
•Do not apply foreign objects
such as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor or apply paint to the
sensor area. Doing so may
adversely affect the perform-
ance of the sensor.

If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
Turn off the BCW and RCCW system
(if equipped) when a trailer or carrier
is installed.
- Press the BCW button (the indica-
tor on the button extinguish)
- Deactivate the RCCW system by
deselecting
"User Settings →Driver assistance
→Blind-spot safety →RCCW
(Rear Cross-Traffic Collision

If you use BCW system, remove a
trailer or carrier.
When the BCW cancelled 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,
the BCW should operate normally
after about 10 minutes of driving the
vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Check BCW (Blind-spot Collision
Warning) system
If there is a problem with the BCW
system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch
will turn off. The system will turn off
automatically. We recommend that
you have your vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
