To charge a cellular phone
The wireless cellular phone charging
system charges only the Qi-enabled
cellular phones ( ). Read the label
on the cellular phone accessory
cover or visit your cellular phone
manufacturer’s website to check
whether your cellular phone supports
the Qi technology.
The wireless charging process starts
when you put a Qi-enabled cellularphone on the wireless charging unit.
1. Remove other items, including thesmart key, from the wireless
charging unit. If not, the wireless
charging process may be inter-
rupted.
2. The indicator light is orange when the phone is charging. The indica-
tor light turns green when phone
charging is complete.
3. You can turn ON or OFF the wire- less charging function in the user
settings mode on the instrument
cluster. For further information,
refer to the "LCD Display Modes"
in this chapter. If your phone is not charging:
- Slightly change the position of the
cellular phone on the charging pad.
- Make sure the indicator light is orange.
Depending on the cellular phone
type, the indicator light may not turn
green even though the charging is
complete.
The indicator light will blink orange
for 10 seconds if there is a malfunc-tion in the wireless charging system.
In this case, temporarily stop the
charging process, and re-attempt to
wirelessly charge your cellular phoneagain.
The system warns you with a mes-
sage on the LCD display if the cellu-lar phone is still on the wirelesscharging unit after the engine is
turned OFF and the front door isopened. The wireless cellular phone
charging system may not sup-
port certain cellular phones,
which are not verified for the Qi
specification ( ).
Locate your cell phone well in the middle of the wireless cellu-
lar phone charging system.
Even when your cell phone
locates slightly to one side, the
charging speed may decrease.
The wireless charging process may temporarily stop, when a
smart key function operates (i.e.
starting the vehicle, opening the
doors, closing the doors).
For certain cell phones, the indi- cator color may not change to
green, even when the wireless
charging process is properlycompleted.

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
unconsciousness 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 tailgate open:
Close all windows.

Wait until the engine rpm is
normal. The vehicle may sud-
denly move if the brake pedalis released when the rpm ishigh.
WARNING

5-26
Driving your vehicle
The dual clutch transmission incor-porates a dry-type dual clutch
mechanism, which allows for better
acceleration performance and
increased fuel efficiency while driv-
ing. But it differs from a conven-
tional automatic transmission
because it does not incorporate a
torque converter. Instead, the tran-
sition from one gear to the next is
managed by clutch slip, especially
at lower speeds. As a result, shifts
are sometimes more noticeable,
and a light vibration can be felt as
the transmission shaft speed ismatched with the engine shaft
speed. This is a normal condition of
the dual clutch transmission.
The dry-type clutch transfers torque more directly and provides
a direct-drive feeling which may
feel different from a conventional
automatic transmission. This may
be more noticeable when launch-
ing the vehicle from a stop or when
traveling at low, stop-and-go vehi-
cle speeds. When rapidly accelerating from a
lower vehicle speed, the engine
rpm may increase dramatically asa result of clutch slip as the dual
clutch transmission selects the cor-
rect gear. This is a normal condi-tion.
When accelerating from a stop on an incline, press the accelerator
smoothly and gradually to avoid
any shudder feeling or jerkiness.
When traveling at a lower vehicle speed, if you release the accelera-
tor pedal quickly, you may feel
engine braking before the trans-
mission changes gears. This
engine braking feeling is similar to
operating a manual transmission at
low speed.
When driving downhill, you may wish to move the gear shift lever to
Manual Shift mode and downshift
to a lower gear in order to control
your speed without using the brake
pedal excessively.
When you turn the engine on and off, you may hear clicking soundsas the system goes through a self-
test. This is a normal sound for the
dual clutch transmission. During the first 1,600 km (1000
miles), you may feel that the vehi-
cle may not be smooth when accel-
erating at low speed. During this
break-in period, the shift quality
and performance of your new vehi-
cle is continuously optimized.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, then set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occurif these precautions are not
followed. (Continued)

DCT warning messages
Steep grade
This warning message is displayed
when vehicle is driven slowly on a
grade and the vehicle detects that
the brake pedal is not applied.
Driving up hills or on steep grades:
To hold the vehicle on an inclineuse the foot brake or the parking
brake.
When in stop-and-go traffic on an incline, allow a gap to form ahead
of you before moving the vehicle
forward. Then hold the vehicle on
the incline with the foot brake. If the vehicle is held or creeping
forward on an incline by applying
the accelerator pedal, the clutch
and transmission may overheat
which can result in damage. At this
time, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display.
If the LCD display warning is active, the foot brake must beapplied.
Ignoring the warnings can lead to damage to the transmission.
NOTICE
OTLE055019
(Continued)
Do not use aggressive engine
braking (shifting from a high-
er gear to a lower gear) on
slippery roads. This could
cause the tires to slip and mayresult in an accident.
Due to transmission failure, you
may not continue to drive and
the position indicator (D, P) on
the instrument cluster will bilnk.
Contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked.

leave your vehicle for any reason.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
NOTICE
Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may
cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the shift
lever is in P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and turn the
engine off.
When parking on an incline,
place the shift lever in P (Park)
and apply the parking brake to
prevent the vehicle from
rolling downhill.
For safety, always engage the parking brake with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position
except for the case of emer-
gency parking.
