Information
An inappropriately disposed bat-tery can be harmful to the envi-
ronment and human health.
Dispose the battery according to
your local law(s) and regulation(s).
Immobilizer System
(if equipped)
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle from theft. If an improperly coded
key (or other device) is used, the
engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the immobilizer system indi-
cator should come on briefly, then go off.
If the indicator starts to blink, the system
does not recognize the coding of the key.
Place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, then place the igni-
tion switch to the ON position again.
The system may not recognize your key’s
coding if another immobilizer key or other
metal object (i.e., key chain) is near the
key. The engine may not start because
the metal may interrupt the transponder
signal from transmitting normally. If the system repeatedly does not recog-
nize the coding of the key, it is recom-
mended that you contact your HYUNDAI
dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system or add
other devices to it. Electrical problems
could result that may make your vehicle
inoperable.
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobilizer sys-
tem. It is designed to give years of
trouble-free service, however you
should avoid exposure to moisture,
static electricity and rough handling.
Immobilizer system malfunction could
occur.
Information

FCC rules.

Child-Protector Rear Door
locks
The child safety lock is provided to help
prevent children seated in the rear from
accidentally opening the rear doors. The
rear door safety locks should be used
whenever children are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock is located on the
edge of each rear door. When the child
safety lock is in the lock position, the rear
door will not open if the inner door han-
dle is pulled.
To lock the child safety lock, insert a
screwdriver (1) into the hole and turn it to
the lock position.
To allow a rear door to be opened from
inside the vehicle, unlock the child safety
lock. This system helps to protect your vehicle
and valuables. The horn will sound and
the hazard warning lights will blink con-
tinuously if any of the following occurs:
- A door is opened without using the
remote key or smart key.
- The trunk is opened without using the remote key or smart key.
- The engine hood is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds,
then the system resets. To turn off the
alarm, unlock the doors with the remote
key or smart key.
The Theft Alarm System automatically
sets 30 seconds after you lock the doors
and the trunk. For the system to activate,
you must lock the doors and the trunk
from outside the vehicle with the remote
key or smart key or by pressing the but-
ton on the outside of the door handles
with the smart key in your possession.
The hazard warning lights will blink and
the chime will sound once to indicate the
system is armed.
If children accidently open the rear
doors while the vehicle is in
motion, they could fall out of the
vehicle. The rear door safety locks
should always be used whenever
children are in the vehicle.

Once the security system is set, opening
any door, the trunk, or the hood without
using the remote key or smart key will
cause the alarm to activate.

hood, the trunk, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set, check
the hood, the trunk, or the doors are fully
closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or add
other devices to it.
Information
• Do not lock the doors until all passen-gers have left the vehicle. If the remain-
ing passenger leaves the vehicle when
the system is armed, the alarm will be

smart key) by directly pressing the igni-
tion switch with the smart key.

If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light ( ) will illumi-
nate on the instrument cluster. You
may steer the vehicle, but it will
require increased steering efforts.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Easy Access Function
When exiting the vehicle the driver’s seat
will move rearward when the engine is
turned off and the shift lever in P (Park).
When entering the vehicle the driver’s
seat will move forward when the ignition
switch is placed to the ACC position.
You can activate or deactivate the Easy
Access Function from the User Settings
Mode on the LCD display.
For more information, refer to the
"LCD Display" section in this chapter.
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering the
vehicle. If the engine is turned off or if the
power steering system becomes inoper-
ative, you may still steer the vehicle, but
it will require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high immedi-
ately after placing the ignition switch in
the ON position.
This happens as the system performs the
EPS system diagnostics. When the diag-
nostics is completed, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is in
the ON or OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnormal noise may
occur. If temperature rises, the noise will
disappear. This is a normal condition.
• When an error is detected from the EPS, the warning light will illuminate on the
instrument cluster and the steering
efforts may be increased. When the fol-
lowing symptoms occur, immediately
drive the vehicle to a safe area and
check it.
