Safety features of your vehicle
Problems may arise if the sensorinstallation angles are changed
due to the deformation of the front
bumper, body or C pillars or front
door where side collision sensors
are installed. Have the vehicle
checked and repaired by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Your vehicle has been designed to absorb impact and deploy the air
bag(s) in certain collisions.
Installing bumper guards or side
steppers or replacing a bumper
with non-genuine parts may
adversely affect your vehicle’s col-
lision and air bag deployment per-
formance.Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on
the intensity, speed or angles of
impact of the front collision.
WARNING - Air bag
sensors
Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors are
installed.
This may cause unexpected
air bag deployment, which
could result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered
in any way, the air bags may
deploy when they should not
or they may not deploy when
they should, causing severe
injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to per-
form maintenance on or
around the air bag sensors.
Have the vehicle checked and
repaired by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

seat belts in the rear seat.Adding equipment to or modi-
fying your air bag-equipped
vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by chang-
ing your vehicle's frame, bumper sys-
tem, front end or side sheet metal or
ride height, this may affect the oper-
ation of your vehicle's air bag sys-
tem.
Air bag warning label
Air bag warning labels, some required
by the U.S. National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), are
attached to alert the driver and pas-
sengers of potential risks of the air
bag system.

If you desire to deactivate the rear
parking assist system, press the
rear parking assist OFF button
again. (The indicator on the button
will illuminate.) To turn the system
on, press the button again. (The
indicator on the button will go off.)
This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch
ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 6mph (10km/h), the system
may not be activated correctly.
The sensing distance while the rear parking assist system is in
operation is approximately 47 in.
(120 cm).
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est objects will be recognized first. Types of warning sound
When an object is 47 in. to 24 in.
(120 cm to 61 cm) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps intermit-
tently.
When an object is 23 in. to 12 in. (60 cm to 31 cm) from the rear
bumper: Buzzer beeps more fre-
quently.
When an object is within 11.8 in. (30 cm) of the rear bumper:
Buzzer sounds continuously.Non-operational conditions of
rear parking assist system
The rear parking assist system may
not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2. The 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. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes)
are within range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the
sensor.
7. Trailer towing.

The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is covered with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be rec-
ognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 40 in. (1 m) and narrower than 6
in. (14 cm) in diameter.Rear parking assist system pre-
cautions
The rear parking assist system may not sound sequentially
depending on the speed and
shapes of the objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 15 in. (40 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or cov- ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until
any debris is removed and the sen-
sors are cleaned. Use only a soft
cloth to clean the sensors.
Do not push, scratch or strike 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,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors 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
capabilities and limitations.

Sensor to detect the distance
from the vehicle in front
(front radar)
This sensor is designe to help main-
tain a certain distance from the vehi-
cle in front. However, a smudged
sensor lens with foreign substances,
such as snow and rain, adversely
affects the sensing performance. It
may even temporarily cancel the
AEB. Always keep the sensor lens
clean.
Warning message and warninglight
When the sensor cover or the sensor
lens is obscured by foreign sub-
stances, such as snow or rain, the
AEB operation may temporarily stop.
In this case, a warning message will
appear to notify the driver. This is not
a malfunction with the AEB. To oper-
ate the AEB again, remove the for-
eign substances.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as a license plate bracket or
bumper sticker near the sensor
area. Do not replace the bumper
by yourself. Doing so may
adversely affect the sensing per-
formance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper area clean.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Also, do not spray highly
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the system may not
operate correctly even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only the genuine HYUNDAI sensor cover. Do not apply paint
on the sensor cover.

The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driv-
er of an approaching vehicle in the
driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
an indicator on the outside side view
mirrors. (1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range
varies relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travel-
ing much faster than the vehicles
around you, the warning will not
occur.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist) The Lane Change Assist feature
will alert you when a vehicle is
approaching in an adjacent lane
at a high rate of speed. If the driv-
er activates the turn signal when
the system detects an oncoming
vehicle, the system sounds an
audible alert.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) The Rear Cross Traffic Alert fea-
ture monitors approaching cross
traffic from the left and right side
of the vehicle when your vehicle is
moving in reverse. The feature will
operate when the vehicle is mov-
ing in reverse below about 6 mph
(10 km/h). If oncoming cross traf-
fic is detected, a warning chime
will sound.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Always check the road condi-tion while driving for unex-
pected situations even
though the Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) is

The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) is a supplemen-
tal system to assist you. Do
not entirely rely on the sys-
tem. Always pay attention,
while driving, for your safety.
The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe driv-
ing. Always drive safely and
use caution when changing
lanes or backing the vehicle
up. The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) may not detect
every object alongside the
