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.

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.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS®) Mirror
(if equipped)
The NVS®Mirror automatically reduces
glare by monitoring light levels in the
front and the rear of the vehicle. Any
object that obstructs either light sensor
will degrade the automatic dimming con-
trol feature.
For more information regarding NVS

If you need to recalibrate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button for morethan 9 seconds. When the compass
memory is cleared a "C" will appear in
the display.
2. Drive the vehicle in 2 complete circles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System can replace up to three hand-
held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters
with a single built-in device. This innova-
tive feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to
operate devices such as gate operators,
garage door openers, entry door locks,
security systems, even home lighting.
Both standard and rolling code-equipped
transmitters can be programmed by fol-
lowing the outlined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
®information can
be found at: www.homelink.com or by
calling 1-800-355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
®buttons be
erased for security purposes.
Before programming HomeLink®to
a garage door opener or gate oper-
ator, make sure people and objects
are out of the way of the device to
prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLink
®with any
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse features
required by U.S. federal safety stan-
dards (this includes any garage
door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door
that cannot detect an object - sig-
naling the door to stop and reverse
- does not meet current U.S. federal
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these features
increases the risk of serious injury
or death.

Programming HomeLink®
Please note the following:
When programming a garage dooropener, it is advised to park the vehicle
outside of the garage.
It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter
of the device being programmed to
HomeLink
®for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio-fre-
quency signal.
Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be placed in the ACC (or
"Accessories") position for program-
ming and/or operation of HomeLink
®.
In the event that there are still pro- gramming difficulties or questions after
following the programming steps listed
below, contact HomeLink
®at:
www.homelink.com or by calling 1-
800-355-3515. Programming
To train most devices, follow these
instructions:
1. For first-time programming, press and
hold the two outside buttons ( ,),
HomeLink®Channel 1 and Channel 3,
until the indicator light begins to flash
(after 10 seconds). Release both but-
tons. Do not hold the buttons for longer
than 20 seconds. 2. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 1-3 inches (2-8 cm) away
from the HomeLink
®button you wish
to program while keeping the indicator
light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink
®and hand-held trans-
mitter buttons until the HomeLink®
indicator light changes from a slow to
a rapid blinking light. Now you may
release both the HomeLink
®and
hand-held transmitter buttons.

stant light, continue with
"Programming" steps 5-7 to com-
plete the programming of a rolling
code equipped device (most com-
monly a garage door opener). 5. At the garage door opener receiver

programmed HomeLink
®button.
Repeat the "press/hold/release"
sequence a second time, and,
depending on the brand of the garage
door opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this
sequence a third time to complete the
programming process.
HomeLink
®should now activate your
rolling code equipped device.
Gate operator & Canadian programming
During programming, your handheld
transmitter may automatically stop trans-
mitting. Continue to press the Integrated
HomeLink
®Wireless Control System but-
ton (note steps 2 through 3 in the
Programming portion of this document)
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.
Operating HomeLink®
To operate, simply press and release the
programmed HomeLink®button.
Activation will now occur for the trained
device (i.e. garage door opener, gate
operator, security system, entry door
lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For con-
venience, the hand-held transmitter of
the device may also be used at any time.
