Inside rearview mirror
Day/night rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror to center on
the view through the rear window. Make
this adjustment before you start driving.Make this adjustment before you start
driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of vehi-
cles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearviewclarity in the night position. Electric chromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and through a
chemical reaction, automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.

Retain the original transmitter for future
programming procedures (i.e., new vehi-
cle purchase). It is also suggested that
upon the sale of the vehicle, the pro-
grammed HomeLink buttons be erased
for security purposes (follow step 1 in the
“Programming” portion of this text).
Programming
Your vehicle may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the ACC position
for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink. It is also recommended that a
new battery be replaced in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink for quicker train-
ing and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency.
Follow these steps to train your
HomeLink mirror:1. When programming the buttons for the
first time, press and hold
the left and
center buttons (,)simultane-
ously until the indicator light begins to
flash after approximately 20 seconds.
(This procedure erases the factory-set
default codes. Do not perform this step
to program additional hand-held trans-
mitters.)

WARNING
When programming the HomeLink® Wireless Control
System, you may be operating a
garage door or gate operator.
Make sure that people and objects
are out of the way of the moving
door or gate to prevent potential
harm or damage.
Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature
as required by federal safety
standards. (This includes any
garage door opener model manu-
factured before April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener which cannot
detect an object, signaling the
door to stop and reverse, does
not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features
increases risk of serious injury or
death. For more information, call
1-800-355-3515 or on the internet
at www.homelink.com.

in the “Programming” portion of this text)
while you press and re-press (“cycle”)
your handheld transmitter every two sec-
onds until the frequency signal has been
learned. The indicator light will flash
slowly and then rapidly after several sec-
onds upon successful training. Accessories

Warnings and indicators
All warning lights are checked by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). Any light that does not illuminate
should be checked by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
After starting the engine, check to make
sure that all warning lights are off. If any
are still on, this indicates a situation that
needs attention. When releasing the
parking brake, the brake system warning
light should go off. The fuel warning light
will stay on if the fuel level is low.
Air bag warning light
This warning light will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds each time you
turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion.
This light also comes on when the SRS
is not working properly. If the air bag
warning light does not come on, or con-
tinuously remains on after operating for
about 6 seconds when you turned the
ignition switch to the ON position or start-
ed the engine, or if it comes on while
driving, have the SRS inspected by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

Features of your vehicle
Anti-lock brake system(ABS) warning light (if equipped)
This light illuminates if the ignition switch
is turned to ON and goes off in approxi-
mately 3 seconds if the system is operat-
ing normally.
If the ABS warning light remains on,
comes on while driving, or does not
come on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, this indicates
that there may be a problem with the
ABS.
If this occurs, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon
as possible. The normal braking system
will still be operational, but without the
assistance of the anti-lock brake system. Electronic brake force distri-
bution (EBD) system warning
light
If these two warning lights
illuminate at the same time
while driving, your vehicle
has a problem with ABS and
EBD system.
In this case, your ABS and regular brake
system may not work normally. Have the
vehicle checked by an authorized
Hyundai dealer as soon as possible.
Seat belt warning
Seat belt warning light
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition key is turned ON, the
seat belt warning light blinks for approxi-
mately 6 seconds. And if the vehicle
speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h) with the
seat belt unfastened, the seat belt warn-
ing light blinks with the pattern of 6 sec-
onds on and 24 seconds off for 11 times.
The seat belt warning light will stop if the
seat belt is fastened or the vehicle speed
is reduced to below 3 mph (5 km/h).
Seat belt warning chime
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened
when the ignition key is turned ON, the
seat belt warning chime sounds for
approximately 6 seconds. And if the vehi-
cle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h) with
the seat belt unfastened, the seat belt
warning chime sounds with the pattern of
6 seconds on and 24 seconds off for 11
times. The seat belt warning chime will
stop if the seat belt is fastened or the
vehicle speed is reduced to below 3 mph
(5 km/h).
WARNING
If the both ABS and Brake warning
lights are on and stay on, your vehi-
cle’s brake system will not work
normally. So you may experience
an unexpected and dangerous situ-
ation during sudden braking. In this
case, avoid high speed driving and
abrupt braking. Have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer as soon as possible.
