Satellite Radio reception factors :
To receive the satellite signal, your vehi-
cle has been equipped with a satellite
radio antenna located on the roof of your
vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the
best location for an unobstructed, open
view of the sky, a requirement of a satel-
lite radio system. Like AM/FM, there are
several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance :
Antenna obstructions : For optimal
reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up
and keep luggage and other material
as far away from the antenna as possi-
ble.
Terrain : Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses,
parking garages, dense tree foliage
and thunderstorms can interfere with
your reception.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio service :
SiriusXM is a subscription-based satellite
radio service that broadcasts music,
sports, news and entertainment pro-
gramming to radio receivers, which are
available for installation in motor vehicles
or factory installed, as well as for the
home, portable and wireless devices,
and through an Internet connection on a
personal computer.
Vehicles that are equipped with a factory
installed SiriusXM Satellite Radio system
include :
Hardware and an introductory trial sub-scription term, which begins on the
date of sale or lease of the vehicle.

Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. Exposure to CO can cause uncon-
sciousness and death by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a
change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle, have the
exhaust system checked as soon as possible by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Run the engine only long enough
to start the engine and to move the vehicle out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area
with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes located in front of the windshield clear of
snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.
If you must drive with the trunk open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face", and the fan control set to high.

Driving your vehicle
Check the Parking Brake
Warning Light by placing
the ignition switch to the
ON position (do not start
the engine).
This light will be illuminat-
ed when the parking brake is applied with
the ignition switch in the START or ON
position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is released and the Brake Warning Light
is OFF.
If the Parking Brake Warning Light
remains on after the parking brake is
released while engine is running, there
may be a malfunction in the brake sys-
tem. Immediate attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehi-
cle immediately. If that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operating the
vehicle and only continue to drive the
vehicle until you can reach a safe loca-
tion.Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS is an electronic braking system that
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows
the driver to steer and brake at the same
time.
An Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS) or an Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system will not pre-
vent accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency brak-
ing, always maintain a safe dis-
tance between you and objects
ahead of you. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The brak-
ing distance for cars equipped with
ABS or ESC may be longer than for
those without these systems in the
following road conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced
speeds during the following condi-
tions:
Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
On roads where the road surface
is pitted or has different surface
height.
Tire chains are installed on your
vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
The safety features of an ABS or
ESC equipped vehicle should not
be tested by high speed driving or
cornering. This could endanger the
safety of yourself or others.

5-40
Driving your vehicle
Driving with wheels and tires with dif-
ferent sizes may cause the ESC sys-
tem to malfunction. Before replacing
tires, make sure all four tires and
wheels are the same size. Never drive
the vehicle with different sized wheels
and tires installed.
ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be used
briefly to help free the vehicle if stuck in
snow or mud by temporarily stopping
operation of the ESC to maintain wheel
torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press the
ESC OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface. To prevent damage to the transmis-
sion:
Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle to
spin excessively while the ESC,
ABS, and parking brake warning
lights are displayed. The repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Reduce engine power and
do not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are displayed.
When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, make sure the ESC is
turned off (ESC OFF light illuminat-
ed).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS
or standard brake system operation.

AEB Front Radar Sensor
In order for the AEB system to operate
properly, always make sure the radar
sensor cover is clean and free of dirt,
snow, and debris. Dirt, snow, or foreign
substances on the lens may adversely
affect the sensing performance of the
radar.
Warning message and warninglight
When the sensor cover is blocked with
dirt, snow, or debris, the AEB system
operation may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will appear
on the LCD display. Remove any dirt,
snow, or debris and clean the radar sen-
sor cover before operating the AEB sys-
tem.
The AEB may not properly operate in an
area (e.g. open terrain), where any sub-
stances are not detected after turning
ON the engine. Do not apply foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor. Doing
so may adversely affect the sensing
performance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor and lens cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or sen-
sor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnecessary force on the radar sensor or sensor
cover. If the sensor is forcibly
moved out of proper alignment, the
AEB system may not operate cor-
rectly. In this case, a warning mes-
sage may not be displayed. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the front bumper becomes dam- aged in the area around the radar
sensor, the AEB system may not
operate properly. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI parts to repair or replace a damaged sensor
or sensor cover. Do not apply paint
to the sensor cover.
