Function malfunction and limitations
Function malfunction
When Reverse Parking Collision- Avoidance Assist or other related function are not working properly, the ‘Check Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist system’ warning message will appear on the cluster, and the system will turn off automatically. We recommend that the function be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Function disabled
The rear view camera is used as a detecting sensor to detect pedestrians. If the camera lens is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, it may adversely affect camera performance and Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate normally. Always keep the camera lens clean.
The rear ultrasonic sensors are located inside the rear bumper to detect objects in the rear area. If the sensors are covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, it may adversely affect sensor performance and Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate normally. Always keep the rear bumper clean.
The ‘Rear camera error or blockage’ or ‘Parking sensor error or blockage’ warning message will appear on the cluster if the following situations occur:
-- The rear view camera is covered with
foreign material, such as snow or rain,
etc.
-- There is inclement weather, such as
heavy snow, heavy rain, etc.
If this occurs, Reverse Parking Collision- Avoidance Assist may turn off or may not operate properly. Check whether the rear view camera and rear ultrasonic sensors are clean.
Limitations of the function
