km/h (10 mph) when driving forward,
Surround View Monitor system will
turn off.
• An indicator on the screen appears when:
- The trunk is opened
- The driver/passenger’s door is opened
- The side view mirror is folded
• When you set up ‘Surround View
Monitor Auto On’ on the user setting
menu, you can choose the Surround
View Monitor system to turn on
automatically in case of the parking alarm sounds.
• If the system is not operating
normally, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
• Surround View Monitor system is
a parking assist system. Because
the images of the four cameras on
the front, rear, left, and right are
synthesized, the SVM view and
parking guidelines may differ from
the actual vehicle location. So, check
all directions for safety.
• Always keep the rear view camera
lens clean. If the lens is covered with
foreign material, it may adversely
affect camera performance and
Surround View Monitor may not
operate normally. However, do not
use chemical solvents such as strong
detergents containing high alkaline
or volatile organic solvents (gasoline,
acetone etc.). This may damage the
camera lens.

Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist (PCA) is a supplemental system
that can warn the driver or apply braking
force to reduce the possibility of collision
with pedestrians when the vehicle is
reversing.
WARNING
• Always look around your vehicle to make sure there are no objects or
pedestrian before moving the vehicle
in any direction to prevent a collision.
• Do not solely rely on Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist system.
The system might not assist the
driver leading to pedestrian injury or
vehicle damage.
• Be aware that some objects may not be visible on the screen or be
detected by the rear ultrasonic
sensors, due to the objects’ distance,
size or material, all of which can limit
the effectiveness of the sensors.
