Hyundai Elantra. Warning message

Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) system is turned off. Radar is blocked.

This warning message may appear when:

- One or both sensors on the rear bumper are blocked by mud, snow, or foreign material.
- Driving in rural areas where the sensor does not detect another vehicle for a long period of time.
- In severe weather, such as heavy snow or rain.

When any of these conditions occur, the BCW switch indicator and the system will turn off automatically.

When the BCW cancellation warning message is displayed in the cluster, check that there is no mud or snow on the rear bumper at the sensor locations. Remove any mud, snow, or foreign material that may interfere with the radar sensors.

After removing any mud or debris, the system should operate normally after approximately 10 minutes of driving.

If the system still does not operate normally, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
