Hyundai Santa Cruz: Safe Exit Warning (SEW) / Safe Exit Warning Malfunction and Limitations

Safe Exit Warning malfunction

When Safe Exit Warning is not working properly, the ‘Check Blind-Spot Safety system’ warning message appears on the cluster for several seconds, and the master () warning light illuminates on the cluster. If this occurs, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

When the side view mirror warning light is not working properly, the ‘Check side view mirror warning light’ warning message appears on the cluster for several seconds, and the master () warning light illuminates on the cluster. If this occurs, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Safe Exit Warning disabled

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 ‘Blind-Spot Safety system disabled. Radar blocked’ warning message appears on the cluster.

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, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

• Even though the warning message does not appear on the cluster, 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.

CAUTION

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