Introduction
By following a few simple precau-
tions for the first 1,000 km you may
add to the performance, economy
and life of your vehicle.
•Do not race the engine.
•Whilst driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
•Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is
needed to properly run-in the
engine.
•Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
•Don't tow a trailer during the first
2,000 km of operation.

Why didn't my air bag go off in
a collision?
Air bags are not designed to inflate in
ever y collision.
There are certain types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional protec-
tion. These include rear impacts, sec-
ond or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehicle
indicates a collision energy absorp-
tion, and is not an indicator of whether
or not an air bag should have inflated.
Air bag collision sensors
(if equipped)
To r e d u c e t h e r i s k o f a n a i r b a g
deploying unexpectedly and
causing serious injury or death:
•Do not hit or allow any objects
to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors are
installed.
•Do not perform maintenance
on or around the air bag sen-
sors. If the location or angle of
the sensors is altered, the air
bags may deploy when they
should not or may not deploy
when they should.
•Do not install bumper guards
or replace the bumper with a
non-genuine part. This may
adversely affect the collision
and air bag deployment per-
formance.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
•Place the ignition switch to
the LOCK/OFF or ACC posi-
tion, when the vehicle is being
towed to prevent inadvertent
air bag deployment.
•We recommend that all air bag
repairs are conducted by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

Loss of a smart key
A maximum of two smart keys can
be registered to a single vehicle. If
you happen to lose your smar t key, it
is recommended that you should
immediately take the vehicle and
remaining key to your authorised
HYUNDAI dealer or tow the vehicle,
if necessary.
Smart key precautions
The smart key will not work if any of
the following occur:
•The smart key is close to a radio
transmitter such as a radio station
or an airport which can interfere
with normal operation of the trans-
mitter.
•The smart key is near a mobile two
way radio system or a mobile
phone.
•Another vehicle’s smart key is
being operated close to your vehi-
cle.
When the smart key does not work
correctly, open and close the door
with the mechanical key. If you have
a problem with the smart key, it is
recommended that you contact an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
If the smart key is in close proximity
to your mobile phone, the signal
could be blocked by your mobile
phone’s normal operational signals.
This is especially important when the
phone is active such as making and
receiving calls, text messaging,
and/or sending/receiving emails.
Avoid placing the smar t key and your
mobile phone in the same location
and always try to maintain an ade-
quate distance between the two
devices.
People with medical devices
such as implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators should
not carry the smart key near the
heart. The smart key system
may affect the operation of such
implanted medical devices.
Failure to do so may result in
interference with the medical
device, which could result in
serious injury.

rectly. In this case, adjust the steering
wheel again and then lock the steering
wheel.
Pull down the lock-release lever (1)
on the steering wheel column and
adjust the steering wheel angle (2)

the steering wheel, so it points
toward your chest, not toward your
face. Make sure you can see the
instrument panel warning lights and
gauges.
After adjusting, pull up the lock-
release lever (1) to lock the steering
wheel in place. Push the steering
wheel both up and down to be cer-
tain it is locked in position. Always
adjust the position of the steering
wheel before driving.

When the ignition switch is in the ON
position or when the engine is run-
ning, press the heated steering
wheel button to warm the steering
wheel.
The indicator on the button will illu-
minate.

Inside rearview mirror
Before you start driving, adjust the
rearview mirror to centre on the view
through the rear window.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.
NOTICE
Make sure your line of sight is
not obstructed. Do not place
objects in the rear seat, luggage
compartment, or behind the
rear headrests which could
interfere with your vision
through the rear window.
WA R N I N G
To p r e v e n t s e r i o u s i n j u r y d u r i n g
an accident or deployment of
the air bag, do not modify the
rearview mirror and do not
install a wide mirror.
WA R N I N G
NEVER adjust the mirror whilst
driving. This may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

Day/night rearview mirror
(if equipped)
Make this adjustment before you
start driving and whilst the day/night
lever is in the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of
the vehicles behind you during night
driving.
Remember that you lose some
rearview clarity in the night position.
Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati-
cally controls the glare from the head-
lamp of the vehicle behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi-
tions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-
matically adjusts to control the head-
lamp glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat-
ically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the driver's view
behind the vehicle.
To operate the electric rearview
mirror:
•Press the ON/OFF button (1) to
turn the automatic dimming func-
tion off. The mirror indicator light
will turn off.
Press the ON/OFF button (1) to
turn the automatic dimming func-
tion on. The mirror indicator light
will illuminate.
•The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion whenever the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button is in
the ON position.
