  • The approaching vehicle is within approximately 82 ft. (25 m) of the left and right sides of your vehicle
  • The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left and right is above 3 mph (5 km/h)

Information
If the operating conditions are satisfied, there will be a warning whenever the vehicle approaches from the left or right side even though your vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h).

Emergency Braking

• To warn the driver of an approaching vehicle from the rear left/right side of your vehicle, the warning light on the outside rearview mirror will blink and a warning message will appear on the cluster. At the same time, an audible warning will sound and the steering wheel will vibrate. A warning will also appear on the infotainment system screen.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist will operate when all the following conditions are satisfied:
  • The gear is shifted to R (Reverse)
  • Vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h)
  • The approaching vehicle is within approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m) from the left and right side of your vehicle
  • The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left and right is above 3 mph (5 km/h)
• Emergency braking will be assisted to help prevent collision with approaching vehicles from the left and right.

WARNING
Take the following precautions when using Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist:

• For your safety, change the Settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.
• If any other system’s warning message is displayed or an audible warning is generated, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist’s warning message may not be displayed and an audible warning may not be generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound of Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist if the surrounding is noisy.
•  Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate if the driver applies the brake pedal to avoid a collision.
•  During Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist operation, the vehicle may stop suddenly injuring passengers and shifting loose objects. Always have the seat belt on and keep loose objects secured.
• Even if there is a problem with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking performance will operate normally.
• When Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist is operating, braking control by the function will automatically cancel when the driver excessively depresses the accelerator pedal.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate in all situations or cannot avoid all collisions.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may warn the driver late or may not warn the driver depending on the road and driving conditions.
• The driver has the responsibility to control the vehicle. Do not solely depend on Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. Rather, maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce driving speed or to stop the vehicle.
• Never deliberately operate Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist on people, animals, objects, etc. It may cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION
The brake control may not operate properly depending on the status of the ESC (Electronic Stability Control).

There will only be a warning when:

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

Information
If Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist assists you with braking, the driver needs to depress the brake pedal and check the vehicle’s surroundings.

• Brake control will end when the driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power.
• After shifting the gear to R (Reverse), braking control will operate once for left and right vehicle approach.

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist Malfunction and Limitations

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction

When Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist is not working properly, the ‘Check Rear Cross-Traffic Safety cluster for several seconds, and the master ( ) warning light will illuminate on the cluster. If the master warning light illuminates, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

When the outside rearview mirror warning light is not working properly, the ‘Check side view mirror warning the cluster for several seconds, and the master ( ) warning light will illuminate on the cluster. If the master warning light illuminates, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled

When the rear bumper around the rear-side radar or sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, or installing a trailer or carrier, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. If this occurs, the ‘Rear Cross-Traffic warning message will appear on the cluster. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist will operate normally when such foreign material or trailer, etc. is removed. If Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate normally after it is removed, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

• Even though the warning message does not appear on the cluster, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly in an area (for example open terrain), where any substance is not detected after turning ON the vehicle.

CAUTION
Turn off Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist to install a trailer, carrier, etc., or remove the trailer, carrier, etc. to use Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist.

Limitations of Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate normally, or the function may operate unexpectedly under the following circumstances:
