## ⚖️ SUN FILM LEGALITY – What You MUST Know (Updated 2026)

### The 2026 Legal Reality

The Supreme Court, in its orders dated 27th April 2012 and 3rd August 2012, held that affixation of solar films on safety glasses is illegal, being a violation of Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 (CMVRs) . The Court explicitly ruled that: **'No black film or any other material can be affixed on the wind screen or side glasses of the vehicle'** .

However, there is a critical exception: **'The manufacturer of the vehicle may manufacture the vehicle with tinted glasses'** which have Visual Light Transmission (VLT) of 70% (windscreen) and 40% (side glasses) .

### Legal Requirements (Rule 100(2) of CMVR, 1989)

| Window | Minimum VLT Required |
|:---|:---|
| **Front & Rear Windscreen** | **70%** |
| **Side Windows** | **50%** |

### Your Legal Sun Protection Options

| Solution | Legality | Use Case | Recommendation |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Factory Hyundai Glass** | ✅ 100% Legal | Driving | As equipped – DO NOT remove |
| **Magnetic/Clip-on Sun Shades** | ✅ 100% Legal (Parked Only) | Parked UV protection | **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** – remove while driving |
| **Aftermarket Tinted Films** | ❌ Illegal | Not permitted | **NOT RECOMMENDED** – Challan risk + ADAS interference |

**Penalties for Violation**: Traffic police can issue challans and remove illegal tint on the spot. Fines can be up to ₹2, 000 . In the event of an accident, having illegal tint can complicate insurance claims.

## ⚠️⚠️⚠️ CRITICAL: IONIQ 6 ADAS SENSOR SUITE

The IONIQ 6 is equipped with an extensive Level 2 ADAS suite called **Hyundai SmartSense**, which relies on a network of sensors around the vehicle . **These sensors must remain unobstructed** for your safety systems to function correctly.

### Sensor Locations to Protect

| Sensor Type | Location | Function | Protection Rule |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Front Camera** | Behind the windscreen | Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition | **🚫 NO FILM ON WINDSHIELD** |
| **Front Radar** | Behind the front grille | Smart Cruise Control, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist | **✂️ Precision cutout required; non-metallic film only** |
| **Side/Rear Radars** | Front & rear bumper corners | Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist | **✂️ Precision cutouts required** |
| **Surround View Cameras** | Front grille, side mirrors, rear | Surround View Monitor (SVM) – 360° view | **🚫 NO PPF ON LENSES** |
| **Ultrasonic Sensors** | Front & rear bumpers | Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 | **✂️ Precision cutouts required** |
| **Rear View Camera** | Tailgate handle area | Reversing guidance | **🚫 NO PPF ON LENS** |

### ⚠️ CRITICAL INSTALLATION RULES

1. **DO NOT TINT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD**: The camera behind the windscreen powers Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Traffic Sign Recognition .

2. **PRECISION CUTOUT FOR FRONT RADAR**: The radar sensor is located behind the front grille . When applying PPF to the front bumper, the installer must make a precision cutout for the radar sensor. Use non-metallic film only to avoid signal interference.

3. **NO PPF ON CAMERA LENSES**: The Surround View Monitor uses 4 cameras (front grille, side mirrors, rear) . All lenses must remain unobstructed.

4. **PRECISION CUTOUTS FOR PARKING SENSORS**: Front and rear ultrasonic sensors require precise cutouts in any PPF applied to bumpers .

5. **PRECISION CUTOUTS FOR CORNER RADARS**: Side/rear radars are located in the bumper corners for Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist .

**If Your IONIQ 6 Has Been in an Accident**: Sensors may become misaligned. Take your vehicle to an authorised Hyundai dealer to verify sensor alignment. A misaligned sensor can result in ADAS systems not operating to specification.
