Hyundai Elantra: Safe Exit Warning (SEW) / Function malfunction and limitations

Function malfunction

When Safe Exit Warning is not working properly, the ‘Check Blind-Spot Safety system’ warning message will appear on the cluster, and the system will turn off automatically or the system will be limited. We recommend that the system be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Function 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 function disabled. Radar blocked’ warning message will appear on the cluster.

The function will operate normally when such foreign material or trailer, etc. is removed, and then the engine is restarted.

If the function does not operate normally after it is removed, we recommend that the system be 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 (e.g. open terrain) where any substance 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 a trailer, carrier, etc., or remove the trailer, carrier, etc. to use Safe Exit Warning.

Limitations of the function

Safe Exit Warning may not operate normally, or the function may operate unexpectedly under the following circumstances:

• Getting off the vehicle where trees or grass are overgrown
• Getting off the vehicle where the road is wet
• The approaching vehicle is very fast or very slow

WARNING

• Safe Exit Warning may not operate normally 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.
