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

safety lock is in the lock position, the
rear door will not open if the inner door
handle is pulled.
To lock the child safety lock, insert a key
(or 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.

Convenience Features5-38
STEERING WHEEL
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering the
vehicle. If the vehicle is turned off or
if the power steering system becomes
inoperative, you may still steer the
vehicle, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Also, the steering effort becomes heavier
as the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the
steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
CAUTION
[ If the Electric Power Steering System
does not operate normally, the
warning light (
) will illuminate
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 system checked
as soon as possible.
[ When an abnormality is detected
in the electric power steering
system, to prevent an accident, the
steering assist function may become
inoperative. At this time, the warning
light turns on or blinks on the cluster.
The steering wheel may become
difficult to control or operate. Have
your vehicle checked immediately,
after moving the vehicle to a safe
area.
Information
The following symptoms may occur during
normal vehicle operation:
[ The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the ignition
switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system performs
the EPS system diagnostics. When the
diagnostics are completed, the steering
wheel effort will return to its normal
condition.
[ When the battery voltage is low, you
may have to put more steering effort.
However, it is a temporary condition so
that it will return to normal condition
after charging the battery.
[ A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is in
the ON or LOCK/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 temperatures, abnormal noise
may occur. If the temperature rises, the
noise will disappear. This is a normal
condition.
[ When an error is detected from the
EPS, the steering effort assist function
may become inoperative in order to
prevent fatal accidents. Instrument
cluster warning lights may be on or the
steering effort may be high. If these
symptoms occur, drive the vehicle to
a safe area as soon as it is safe to do
so. Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon
as possible.

Tilt Steering / Telescope Steering
When adjusting the steering wheel to a
comfortable position, adjust the steering
wheel so that it points toward your chest,
not toward your face. Make sure you can
see the instrument cluster warning lights
and gauges. After locking the lever, push
the steering wheel both up and down to
be certain it is locked in position. Always
adjust the position of the steering wheel
before driving.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the steering wheel while
driving. This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
OCN7050013
To adjust the steering wheel angle and
height:
1. Pull down the lock-release lever (1).
2. Adjust the steering wheel to the desired angle (2) and distance
forward/back (3).
3. Pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place.
Information
Sometimes the lock release lever may not
engage completely. This may occur when
the gears of the locking mechanism do not
completely mesh. If this occurs, pull down
on the lock release lever, readjust the
steering wheel again, and then pull back
up on the release lever to lock the steering
wheel in place.
CAUTION
While adjusting the steering wheel
height, please do not push or pull it
hard since the fixture can be damaged.

Inside Rearview Mirror
Before driving your vehicle, check to
see that your inside rearview mirror is
properly positioned. Adjust the rearview
mirror so that the view through the rear
window is properly centered.
WARNING
Make sure your line of sight is not
obstructed. Do not place objects in the
rear seat, cargo area, or behind the rear
head restraints which could interfere
with your vision through the rear
window.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury during an
accident or deployment of the air bag,
do not modify the rearview mirror and
do not install a wide mirror.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror while driving.
This may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
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 this
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.
Day/night rearview mirror

WARNING
Before programing HomeLink® to a
garage door opener or gate operator,
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 standards (this
includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door that cannot detect an
object - signaling 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.

Side View Mirrors
OCN7050019
Make sure to adjust the side view mirrors
to your desired position before you begin
driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both
left-hand and right-hand side view
mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted
remotely with the remote switch. The
side view mirrors can be folded to help
prevent damage when going through
an automatic car wash or when passing
through a narrow street.
The right side view mirror is convex.
Objects seen in the mirror are closer than
they appear.
Use the inside rear view mirror or look
back directly to determine the actual
distance of other vehicles prior to
changing lanes.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the side view
mirrors while driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
NOTICE
[ Do not scrape ice off the mirror face;
this may damage the surface of the
glass.
[ If the mirror is jammed with ice, do
not adjust the mirror by force. Use
an approved de-icer (not radiator
antifreeze) spray, or a sponge or soft
cloth with very warm water, or move
the vehicle to a warm place and
allow the ice to melt.

Power Windows
The ignition switch must be in the
ON position to be able to raise or
lower the windows. Each door has a
Power Window switch to control that
door’s window. The driver has a Power
Window Lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
The power windows will operate for
approximately 30 seconds after the
ignition switch is placed in the ACC or
LOCK/OFF position. However, if the front
doors are opened, the Power Windows
