System Description
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
ODN8H059323
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
system uses rear radar to monitor the
approaching cross traffic from the left
and right side of the vehicle when your
vehicle is in reverse.
The warning distance varies relative to
the approaching vehicle speed.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-
Avoidance Assist
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist system monitors approaching
cross traffic from the left and right side
of the vehicle when your vehicle is
approaching.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist system may activate the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) in accordance
with a colliding possibility with an
approaching vehicle. It is to lower the
colliding risk or mitigate the colliding
damage.

WARNING
• Always be aware of road conditions
while driving and be alert for
unexpected situations even though
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
system and Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
are operating.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
system and Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
are supplemental systems to assist
you. Do not entirely rely on the
systems. Always pay attention, while
driving, for your safety.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
system and Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
are not substitutes for proper and
safe driving. Always drive safely and
use caution when backing up the
vehicle.
System Setting and Activation
System setting
• The driver can activate the systems
by placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting “User
Settings
→ Driver Assistance → Parking
Sa

fety → Rear Cross-Traffic Safety”.
R

CCW and RCCA turn on and get
ready to be activated when ‘Rear
Cross-Traffic safety’ is selected.
• When the engine is turned off then on
again, the systems are always ready to
be activated.
• When the system is initially turned
on and when the engine is turned off
then on again, the warning light will
illuminate for 3 seconds on the side
view mirror.
The driver can select the initial warning
activation time in the User Settings in
the LCD display or infotainment system
display
by selecting ‘User Settings →
Driv

er Assistance → Warning Timing’.

6-130
The options for the initial Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning includes the
following:
- N
ormal:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning is activated normally. If this
setting feels sensitive, change the
option to ‘Later’.
The warning activation time may feel
late if the a vehicle at the side or rear
abruptly accelerates.
- La

ter:
Select this warning activation time
when the traffic is light and you are
driving at a low speed.
Information
If you change the warning timing, the
warning time of other systems may
change. Always be aware before changing
the warning timing.
The driver can select the warning volume
of Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
by
selecting ‘User Settings → Driver
Assis

tance → Warning Volume → High/
Medium/Low’.
Information
If you change the warning volume, the
warning volume of other systems may
change. Always be aware before changing
the warning volume.
Operating conditions
To operate:
Go
to the “User Settings → Driver
Assis

tance → Parking Safety → Rear Cross-
Traffic Safety” on the LCD display or
infotainment system display. The system
will turn on and standby to activate.
The system will activate when vehicle
speed is below 7 mph (10 km/h) and with
the shift button in R (Reverse).


The s
ystem will not activate when
the vehicle speed exceeds 7 mph (10
km/h). The system will activate again
when the speed is below 5 mph (8
km/h).
The system’s detecting range is
approximately 1 ~ 65 ft (0.5 ~ 20 m). An
approaching vehicle will be detected if
their vehicle speed is within 5 ~ 22.5 mph

- The de
tected vehicle moves out of the sensing area or
- when the v

ehicle is right behind your vehicle or
- when the v

ehicle is not approaching your vehicle or
- when the o

ther vehicle slows down.
- The v

ehicle’s approaching speed is decreased.

If the risk of collision is detected while RCCW is generated, brake is controlled. The
instrument cluster will inform the driver of the brake control. If the rear view monitor
system is in activation, a message will also appear on the infotainment system screen.
After the brake control, the driver must immediately depress the brake pedal and
check the surroundings.
- The br
ake activation by the system lasts for about 2 seconds.
The driver must pay attention as the brake is disengaged after 2 seconds.
- The br

ake control by the system is cancelled if the driver depresses the brake pedal
with sufficient power.
- Br

ake control is activated once for each right/left approach after shifting the shift
button to R (Reverse).
The brake control may not operate properly according to the status of the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control). The same warning message is displayed on the
instrument cluster for this case also.
- When the ESC (Electr

onic Stability Control) warning light is on.
- When the ESC (Electr

onic Stability Control) is engaged in a different function.

CAUTION
• When the operation condition of
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
system is satisfied, the warning
will occur every time a vehicle
approaches the side or rear of your
stopped (0 mph (0 km/h) vehicle
speed) vehicle.
• The system’s warning or brake may
not operate properly if the left or
right of your vehicle’s rear bumper is
blocked by a vehicle or obstacle.
• The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not the
warning light on the side view mirror
illuminates or there is a warning
alarm.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may offset the system’s
warning sounds.
• The warning of Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning System may not
sound while other system’s warning
sounds.
• If any other warning sound such as
seat belt warning chime is already
generated, Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning system warning
may not sound.
WARNING
• Drive safely even though the vehicle
is equipped with Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning system and Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist system. Do not solely rely
on the system but check your
surrounding when backing the
vehicle up.
• The driver is responsible for accurate
brake control.
• Always pay extreme caution while
driving. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning system and Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
system may not operate properly or
unnecessarily operate in accordance
with your driving situations.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-
Avoidance Assist system is not a
substitute for safe driving practices,
but a convenience function only. It
is the responsibility of the driver to
always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.

Detecting Sensors
ODN8069031L
The rear corner radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting the
side and rear areas. Always keep the rear
bumper clean for proper operation of the
system.
CAUTION
• The system may not work properly
when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper has
been replaced or repaired.
• The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
• Always keep the sensors clean.
• NEVER arbitrarily disassemble the
sensor component nor apply any
impact on the sensor component.
• Be careful not to apply unnecessary
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 displayed. 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 sensor area. Doing so may
adversely affect the performance of
the sensor.
Warning message
OIK057092L
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.

If any of these conditions occur, the
system will turn off automatically.
When 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, the
system should operate normally 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.
