WARNING
• The driver is responsible for accurate
steering.
• Do not unnecessarily operate the
steering wheel, when Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist is in
operation.
• Always pay extreme caution while
driving. The Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not operate or
unnecessarily operate in accordance
with your driving situations.
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist 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

While Driving
6-72
Rear corner radar
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
Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist.
CAUTION
• Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist
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, Blind-
Spot Collision Avoidance Assist may
detect other vehicles in the next
lane. On the other hand, when the
road is wide, Blind-Spot Collision
Avoidance Assist may not detect
vehicles on both lanes and may not
warn.
• Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance
Assist 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,
Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance
Assist 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.
• NEVER install any accessories or
stickers on the front windshield, nor
tint the front windshield.
• Pay extreme caution to keep the
front view camera out of water.
• NEVER locate any reflective objects
(for example, white paper, mirror)
over the crash pad. Any light
reflection may cause a malfunction
of Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance
Assist.

Warning message

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)
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.
-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.
-A trailer or carrier or another object is
installed around the rear view radars.
If any of these conditions occur, Blind-
Spot Collision Avoidance Assist will turn
off automatically.
When Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist 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
sensors are located. Remove any dirt,
snow, or foreign material that could
interfere with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed, Blind-
Spot Collision Avoidance Assist should
operate normally after about 10 minutes
of driving the vehicle.
If Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist
still does not operate normally have
your vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Turn off, Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance
Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Assist (if equipped) when a trailer or
carrier is installed.
