When Safe Exit Warning is not working properly, the 'Check driver assistance system.' warning message will appear on the cluster display for several seconds, and the master (X) warning light will illuminate on the cluster display. If the master warning light illuminates, we recommend that the vehicle be inspected by a HYUNDAI authorized repairer.

When the outside rearview mirror warning light is not working properly, the 'Check side view mirror warning light' (or 'Check outside mirror warning icon') warning message will appear on the instrument cluster for several seconds, and the master (X) warning light will illuminate on the cluster display. If the master warning light illuminates, we recommend that the vehicle be inspected by a HYUNDAI authorized repairer.

When the rear bumper around the rear corner 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 Safe Exit Warning.

If this occurs, the 'Driver Assistance system limited. Radar blocked.' warning message will appear on the cluster display.

Safe Exit Warning will operate properly when such foreign material or trailer, etc., is removed, and then the engine is restarted.

If Safe Exit Warning does not operate properly after it is removed, we recommend that the vehicle be inspected by a HYUNDAI authorized repairer.

  • Even though the warning message does not appear on the cluster display, Safe Exit Warning may not properly operate.

  • Safe Exit Warning may not properly operate in an area (for example, open terrain) where any objects are not detected right after the engine is turned on, or when the detecting sensor is blocked with foreign material right after the engine is turned on.

Turn off Safe Exit Warning to install or remove a trailer, carrier, or another attachment. Turn on Safe Exit Warning when finished.

Limitations of Safe Exit Warning

Safe Exit Warning may not operate properly, or it may operate unexpectedly under the following circumstances:

  • Getting out of the vehicle where trees or grass are overgrown

  • Getting out of the vehicle where the road is wet

  • The approaching vehicle is very fast or very slow

  • Safe Exit Warning may not operate properly if interfered by strong electromagnetic waves.

  • Safe Exit Warning may not operate for 3 seconds after the vehicle is started, or rear corner radars are initialized.

  • If the vehicle is turned off and restarted while the camera is blocked or malfunctioned, the condition is maintained. Therefore, Safe Exit Warning may not operate properly.

For more details on the limitations of the rear corner radars, refer to "Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction and limitations" section in this chapter.
