2017 Sonata User Manual
Can anyone provide a link to the 2017 Hyundai Sonata Owners Manual in PDF format on the web? I've located the 2016 version and also a Getting Started Guide but no full manual for my 2017 Sonata SE. I would find it infinitely more practical to search the manual as a reference guide on a computer than to thumb through the 600+ page printed document I keep in the spare-tire well. Thanks, Joe Hi Joe, I recommend registering your car with Hyundai; creating an account to receive alerts or at least see current software updates and campaigns; and downloading all available manuals for you car.in PDF. Answering my own question here: I did register my car with Hyundai (thank you for prodding me, DDW) and attempted to download a PDF owner's manual on the 'My Hyundai' webpage. However, the response to clicking on 'Manuals and Tips Manuals' was 'Sorry, this information is currently unavailable.'
So I sent Hyundai USA Customer Care an email with this info and they were kind enough to ship me a USB flash drive with a PDF of the manual! It took a little while but in the end, I'm a happy camper and can search the manual for things much easier now.
I queried Customer Care about sharing this manual with others and they replied: 'The owner's manual you have received is for personal use only. We recommend that any other owner contact us directly for their own personal copy.' Again, this is for the 2017 Sonata SE. As always, YMMV.
Blind Spot Detection assists the driver by warning of other cars in the blind spot region. It senses the rear side territory of the vehicle when it is traveling over 20 mph. Lane Change Assist provides an audible and visual alert if the turn signal is activated and another vehicle in the blind spot is sensed.
The turn signals must be activated for the Lane Change Assist to function. There are limitations to the function, range, detection and clarity of the system. It will not detect all vehicles or objects in the blind spot. Its operation depends on the size, distance, angle and relative speed difference between your car and other cars. Blind Spot Detection and Lane Change Assist may not operate if sensors are obscured in any way.
Do not rely exclusively on Blind Spot Detection. Blind Spot Detection is a supplemental system and the driver must still be attentive and exercise caution when driving with it. It is important to always signal, look over your shoulder and through your mirrors before changing lanes. It is the driver's responsibility to be aware of the surroundings and ensure it is clear before changing lanes or directions.
Blind Spot Detection is only meant to assist the driver in these responsibilities. The Rear Cross-traffic Alert system is designed to help notify drivers of approaching cross-traffic behind the vehicle. When a vehicle is detected, it provides an audible warning and visual display warning.
Rear Cross-traffic Alert is a supplemental system and the driver must still exercise extreme caution when backing up. Drivers must always turn and view oncoming traffic before backing up. Rear Cross-traffic Alert is active when the vehicle is in reverse and backing at a speed less than 6 mph. It may not detect all vehicles, depending on the size, angle, distance and speed of the other vehicle.

In addition, Rear Cross-traffic Alert does not detect stationary objects or slow moving objects near the car, including pedestrians (including children), shopping carts, bicycles or baby strollers. The sensor will not function if it is blocked by foreign material, bicycle racks, luggage carriers, bumper stickers, mud or snow. Please see Owner's Manual for additional information. The Lane Departure Warning with Lane Change Assist is designed to help notify the driver if the vehicle is leaving the lane of travel by audible warning and flashing a display signal.
