Description: The Blind Spot Detection (BSD) or Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) is a system that measures the speed of and distance from the following vehicles by using two magnetic wave radar sensors attached in the rear bumper. The BSD/BCW detects vehicle within the blind spot zone and gives off an alarm (visual and audible). The two magnetic radar sensors provide these functions for BSD/BCW:
- Senses other vehicles in the BSD/BCW zone and turns on the BSD/BCW warning lamp for the driver. The warning lamp starts blinking, along with an audible sound, when the driver turns on the turn signal lamp to enter the lane where another vehicle is driving.

BSD/BCW RADAR VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ANGLE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
1.
Ensure the vehicle is on a flat even surface.
2.
Follow the shop manual to remove the rear bumper.
3.
Use the digital inclinometer to measure the vertical angle from each radar sensor and confirm if it is within specification.
If the vertical angle from both radar sensors are within specification then proceed to the next step to measure the horizontal angle.
4.
Find the center point of the front of the vehicle as illustrated in the picture.
Use the center point of the front Hyundai
emblem.
Place masking tape underneath the yellow vertical plumb to prevent scratching the paint when removing the tool from the vehicle body.
NOTICE
Masking Tape
String Center of
Emblem
This procedure is best performed in an indoor environment for ease of viewing the laser light.
NOTICE
If the vertical angle(s) is not within specification, then address it first before continuing with measuring the horizontal angles.
