My parking/backup sensors are not working. We're pretty sure they used to work, but we haven't had the car very long. We asked at the dealer when we stopped to pick up our plates, and they said it didn't look like we had any sensors (not visible), but we learned later that they are integrated into the bumper for 2021. Is there any trim package on the 2021 Santa Fe that does not have the parking/backup sensors? I'm guessing not. Thanks.

I have a '21 Limited and the little black camera is on the underside of the hatch just to the left of the hatch release switch, above the rear license plate. SE should have it too. Seems unlikely that your model's camera is any different than mine.
I have the backup monitor/camera, with the parking distance guides, but I don't have any warning signal, when I get close to objects while backing up. Both my wife and I think we had it initially, remembering it going off while backing out of the garage, but it no longer works. We also had 3 views for the rear view/backup camera - normal, wide angle, and straight down. Now we only have normal and straight down. Wondering if anyone knows for sure that the backup warning is standard on the SE trim. Couldn't find it as an option, and only found the forward/reverse warning as standard on the Limited trim. Thanks.
The backup warning is a function of the ultrasonic sensors that are built into the bumper. It's only on the limited and calligraphy trim levels. The integrated sensors in the rear bumper are small circles. There are 4 on the back bumper of my Santa Fe.

Not really, I have the 2021 Hybrid SEL Premium and it has the rear camera and sensors. The SEL does not have the camera in the front, but it does have the sensors warning if I'm getting too close, and warns me when the car in front of me is moving forward.
One other thing I noticed is that the Parking Brake will automatically engage when moving it into PARK, but ONLY if I'm on an incline or decline, or slightly tilted left or right [like a slanted street or parking garage]. Otherwise, normal conditions I will have to apply it myself.

I think any model with the reverse camera should have the lines and warning signals. What you highlighted is the line for Front and Rear. There is a separate line for just the Rear. I have the 2021 Hybrid SEL Premium and I have the reverse camera, the guide lines and the warning signals. I made sure by testing the signals in the garage.
