Parking Distance Warning Malfunction and Limitations

Parking Distance Warning Malfunction and Limitations

After starting the vehicle, a beep sounds when the gear is shifted to R (Reverse) to indicate Parking Distance Warning is operating properly.

However, if one or more of the following occurs, first check whether the ultrasonic sensor is damaged or blocked with foreign material. If it still does not work properly, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

  • The audible warning does not sound.

  • The buzzer sounds intermittently.

  • The "Check Driver Assistance system." warning message appears on the instrument cluster.

If this occurs the "Driver Assistance system limited. Ultrasonic sensor blocked." warning message appears on the instrument cluster. Parking Distance Warning operates properly when snow, rain or foreign material is removed. If Parking Distance Warning does not operate properly after obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign material) is removed (including trailer, carrier, etc., from the rear bumper), have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Limitations of Parking Distance Warning

  • Parking Distance Warning may not operate properly when:

    • Frozen snow or rainwater on ultrasonic wave sensor surface (normal functioning resumes once thawed)

    • Snow, rainwater, or other foreign matter on ultrasonic wave sensor surface (normal functioning resumes once removed)

    • Heat waves or extreme cold

    • Dismantling of an ultrasonic wave sensor or an adjacent part

    • Forceful pressing down or impact on ultrasonic wave sensor surface

    • Scratches on ultrasonic wave sensor surface

    • High-pressure water spray (car washes) on ultrasonic wave sensor surface

    • Nearby presence of an ultrasonic wave source, e.g. horn of another vehicle, engine sound of a motorcycle, air brake of a large vehicle

  • Parking Distance Warning may malfunction when:

    • Heavy rainfall or spray of water

    • Snow over ultrasonic wave sensors

    • Influence of another vehicle’s Parking Distance Warning system

    • Trickling of water on ultrasonic wave sensor surface

    • Operation on uneven/rough roads, gravel roads, hills, or greens

    • Nearby presence of an ultrasonic wave source

    • Positioning of license plate in a non-standard location

    • Bumper height changes and other conditions rendering ultrasonic wave sensor installation different from that at the time of factory release

    • Presence of accessories around ultrasonic wave sensors

  • The following objects may not be detected:

    • Sharp objects or thin objects (ropes)

    • Narrow objects such as the corners of a square pillar

    • Small objects measuring under 5 in. (14 cm) in diameter or under 39 in. (100 cm) in length

    • Objects that absorb ultrasonic waves, such as cotton, sponges, and snow

    • People, animals, or objects very close to ultrasonic wave sensors

  • Even with Parking Distance Warning, stay attentive while driving and check your front and rear yourself.

  • Surrounding environments and various other conditions can prevent warnings from given.

  • No indemnity is given for accidents or loss occurring from Parking Distance Warning failures.

  • Pay full attention when controlling the vehicle to avoid objects or pedestrians on the road, especially children.

  • As the range and targets of ultrasonic wave sensor operation are limited, warnings may not be given at times.

  • Depending on the speeds of vehicles or the shapes of people, animals, or objects, Parking Distance Warning may not give warnings for all detected targets.

  • If Parking Distance Warning does not function normally, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
