Forward/Side/Reverse Parking Distance Warning Malfunction and Limitations

Forward/Side/Reverse Parking Distance Warning malfunction

After starting the vehicle, a beep sounds when the vehicle 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 sensors are damaged or blocked with foreign material. If they still does not work properly, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorised 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), we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

When the Parking Distance Warning is operating, if the function is not working normally or the ultrasonic sensor is blocked, the master warning light () appears in the direction of the corresponding sensor. You can check the warning in the Utility view on the cluster.

Limitations of Parking Distance Warning

    • There is excessive moisture or frost on the sensor

    • Sensor is covered with foreign substance, such as snow or water (Parking Distance Warning operates properly when such substance is removed.)

    • The weather is extremely hot or cold

    • The sensor or sensor assembly is disassembled

    • The surface of the sensor is pressed hard or hit with a hard object

    • The surface of the sensor is scratched with a sharp object

    • The sensors or their surrounding area is directly sprayed with high pressure washer

  • Parking Distance Warning may malfunction when:

    • Heavy rain or water spray is present

    • Water flows on the surface of the sensor

    • Affected by another vehicle’s sensors

    • The sensor is covered with snow or ice

    • Driving on uneven road, gravel roads or bushes

    • Objects that generate ultrasonic waves are near the sensor

    • Licence plate is installed in a different spot from the original location

    • The vehicle bumper height or ultrasonic sensor installation has been modified

    • Attaching equipment or accessories next to the ultrasonic sensors

  • The following objects may not be detected:

    • Sharp or slim objects, such as ropes, chains or small poles.

    • Narrow objects, such as corners of a square column

    • Objects, which tend to absorb sensor frequency, such as clothes, spongy material or snow.

    • Objects smaller than 100 cm in length and narrower than 14 cm in diameter.

    • Pedestrians, animals or objects that are very close to the ultrasonic sensors

    • An object in the Side space between the front corner ultrasonic sensor and the rear corner ultrasonic sensor or an object approaching the Side space

  • Parking Distance Warning is a supplemental function. The operation of Parking Distance Warning can be affected by several factors (including environmental conditions). It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the front and rear views before and whilst parking.

  • Your new vehicle warranty does not cover any accidents or damage to the vehicle due to the malfunction of Parking Distance Warning.

  • Pay close attention when driving near objects, pedestrians, and especially children. Some objects may not be detected by the ultrasonic sensors, due to the objects distance, size or material, all of which can limit the effectiveness of the sensor.

  • Parking Distance Warning does not warn you in the order of detection. It varies depending on the speed of the vehicle or the shape of a person, animal, or object.

  • If the Parking Distance Warning does not operate properly, we recommend that your vehicle be inspected by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
