WARNING

Take the following precautions when using Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist:

• Always exercise extreme caution while driving. The driver is responsible for braking and

safe driving.

• Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions while driving, whether or not there

is a warning.

• Always look around your vehicle to make sure there are no pedestrians or objects

before moving the vehicle.

• The performance of Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may vary under certain

conditions. If vehicle speed is above 2 mph (4 km/h)), Reverse Parking Collision-

Avoidance Assist will provide collision avoidance assist only when pedestrians are

detected. Always look around and pay attention when driving your vehicle.

• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may operate differently under certain

conditions. If the vehicle moves forward and backward repeatedly, Reverse Parking

Collision-Avoidance Assist may fail to assist braking or to warn the driver. Always pay

attention when driving your vehicle.

• Some objects may not be detected by the rear ultrasonic sensors due to the objects

distance, size or material, all of which can limit the effectiveness of the sensor.

• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly or may operate

unnecessarily depending on the road conditions and the surroundings.

• Do not solely rely on Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist. Doing so may lead to vehicle

damage or injuries.

CAUTION

• Noise may be heard when sudden braking occurs to avoid a collision.

• If any other warning sound such as the seat belt warning chime is already generated,

Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist warning may not sound.

• Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not work properly if the bumper has been

damaged, replaced or repaired.

• Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly if interfered by strong

electromagnetic waves.

• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent passengers from hearing

Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist warning sounds.

• Turn off Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist when towing a trailer. If towing and moving

in reverse, Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist will activate as it detects the trailer.

• The brake control may not operate properly depending on the status of ESC (Electronic

Stability Control).

There will only be a warning when:

- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light is on

- ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is engaged in a different function

CAUTION

Take the following precautions to maintain optimal performance of the detecting sensors:

• Always keep the wide-rear view cameras and ultrasonic sensors clean.

• Do not use any cleanser containing acid or alkaline detergents when cleaning the

camera lens. Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent, and rinse thoroughly with water.

• Do not spray the wide-rear view cameras or the rear ultrasonic sensors or their

surrounding area directly with a high pressure washer. It may cause the wide angle

cameras or the ultrasonic sensors to malfunction.

• Do not apply objects, such as a bumper sticker or a bumper guard, near the wide angle

cameras or ultrasonic sensors or apply paint to the bumper. Doing so may adversely

affect the performance of Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist.

• Never disassemble or apply impact on the wide angle cameras or the ultrasonic

sensors components.

• Do not apply unnecessary force on the wide-rear view cameras or the ultrasonic

sensors. Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly if the

wide angle cameras or the ultrasonic sensor(s) is forcibly moved out of proper

alignment. Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
