BCA Malfunction and Limitations

BCA malfunction

When BCA or a related component malfunctions, a warning message and the Master X warning light appears on the instrument cluster. Also, when the side view mirror is not working properly, a warning message and the Master X warning light appears on the instrument cluster. When the detecting sensors are obscured, the system may be temporarily limited or disabled. The system operates properly when foreign material is removed from the sensors. If the system does not operate properly after it is removed, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

For more information, refer to Driver Assistance System Warnings and Indicators.

Turn off BCA when a trailer, carrier, or another attachment is installed. Remove the trailer, carrier, or another attachment to use BCA.
