Components and Components Location

- Component Location

1. Body control unit (BCM)
2. Parking distance warning sensor


Description and Operation

- Description

• PDW consists of 8 sensors (front : 4 units, rear : 4 units) that are used to detect obstacles and transmit the result in three separate warning levels, the first, second and third to IBU via LIN communication.

• IBU decides the alarm level by the transmitted communication message from the slave sensors, then operates the buzzer or transmits the data for display.

System Operation Specification

Initial mode

1.System initializing time

– PDW-R : 500ms after IGN1+ initial R Gear

2.PDW recognizes LID and sets the sensor ID up during initialization.

3.PDW activates each sensor and then executes the diagnosis after finishing initialization of BCM.

4.PDW starting buzzer is normally worked, when sensor does not send an error message and after finishing error diagnosis.

5.If any failure is received from the any sensors, PDW starting buzzer does not work but the failure alarm is operated for a moment.If you have display option, warning sign is also shown on it.

   

Buzzer for sensor failure is operated once, but display is shown continuously until it is repaired completely.

6.IBU memorizes the completed initializing status of sensor.

Normal mode

1.PDW-F : Lin communication starts and keeps the routine after IGN1 ON+D gear + below 10 km/h. PDW-R : Lin communication starts and keeps the routine after IGN1 ON+R gear

2.After initializing, the routine starts at once without PDW starting warning sound.

3.Alarms of obstacle consists of 3 level 1,2,3 step and 1,2 alarm sounds intermittently and 3 alarm sounds continuously. 1 level alarm doesn't exist in the front ultrasonic sensor.

4.In display, the data of each sensor is sent from IBU to display, for example cluster. CAN communication is used for transmission and maximum gateway time is 50ms.

5.The efficient vehicle speed of PDW operation is under 10Km/h.

6.Operation doesn't start or stops at gear N, P.

Hyundai Accent (HC) (2017 - 2022) Service Manual: Changing Tires

WARNING A vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack causing serious injury or death to you or those nearby. Take the following safety precautions: Never place any portion of your body under a vehicle that is supported by a jack. Your Hyundai Accent must be supported only at the correct jacking points and must never be relied on as a “stand.” NEVER attempt to change a tire in the lane of traffic.

Hyundai Accent (HC) (2017 - 2022) Service Manual: Tire Replacement

On the Hyundai Accent, a tire that wears evenly will eventually reveal the built-in tread wear indicators. These indicators appear as a solid, continuous band across the tread and confirm there is less than 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) of usable tread remaining. Replace the tire when this happens to help maintain safe braking performance, stable steering control, and reliable wet-weather traction.
