compass checked at an author-ized HYUNDAI dealer.
3. The compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tun-nels or while driving up or down a
steep hill.
(The compass returns to the cor-rect compass point when thevehicle moves to an area wherethe geomagnetism is stabilized.)
4. When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar materialdampened with glass cleaner. Donot spray glass cleaner directly
on the mirror as that may causethe liquid cleaner to enter the mir-ror housing.

Electric chromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric chromic mirror automatically controls the glare from the headlights of
the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensormounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and automati-cally controls the headlight glare from
vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into R
(Reverse), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle. If the ECM of inside rear view mirror
operates, it will be working

Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the approxi-
mate number of engine revolutions per
minute (rpm). Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/or
over-revving the engine.
When the door is open, or if the engine is
not started within 1 minute, the tachometer
pointer may move slightly in ON position
with the engine OFF. This movement is
normal and will not affect the accuracy of
the tachometer once the engine is running.
Engine temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the engine coolant when the engine
start/stop button is ON.
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “If the engine overheats” in section 6.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyondthe normal range area toward the“H” position, it indicates overheat-
ing that may damage the engine.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine withinthe tachometer's RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The enginecoolant is under pressure and
could cause severe burns. Wait
until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.

Low brake fluid level warning
If the warning light remains on, it may
indicate that the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
If the warning light remains on:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required. Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks.
3. Do not drive the vehicle if leaks are found, the warning light remains on or
the brakes do not operate properly.
Have the vehicle towed to any author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer for a brake sys-
tem inspection and necessary repairs.
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-
nal braking systems. This means you still
have braking on two wheels even if one
of the dual systems should fail. With only
one of the dual systems working, more
than normal pedal travel and greaterpedal pressure are required to stop the
car. Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working. If the brakes fail
while you are driving, shift to a lower gear
for additional engine braking and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. To check bulb operation, check whether
the parking brake and brake fluid warninglight illuminates when the engine
start/stop button is in the ON position.Low tire pressure
telltale (if equipped)
The low tire pressure telltale comes on
for 3 seconds after the engine start/stop
button is turned to the ON position.
If the warning light does not come on, or
continuously remains on after coming on
for about 3 seconds when you turned the
engine start/stop button to the ON posi-
tion, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System is not working properly. If this
occurs, have your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.
These warning lights will also illuminate if
one or more of your tires are significantly
under-inflated. You should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible. If
the warning lights illuminate while driv-
ing, reduce vehicle speed immediately
and stop the vehicle. Avoid hard braking
and overcorrecting at the steering wheel.Inflate the tires to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire informationplacard.
WARNING
Driving the vehicle with a warning
light on is dangerous. If the brake
warning light remains on, have the
brakes checked and repaired imme-
diately by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

signal lever slightly and hold it in position
(B). The lever will return to the OFF posi-tion when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one of the
turn signal bulbs may be burned out andwill require replacement.
One-touch triple turn signal

system and delivered through the
inside air duct of the front doors. If the
door is open or not closed completely,
the air flow of the Rear outlet vent is
not delivered properly. Make sure the
front doors are closed completely.
The air flow of the Rear outlet vents may be weaker than the instrument
panel vents for the long air duct in the
front doors.
Close the air vents in cold weather. The air flow of the Rear outlet vents may
cool a little during heating operation.
(Use the Rear outlet vents during cool-
ing operation.)
Mode selection
The mode selection button controls the
direction of the air flow through the venti-lation system.
The air flow outlet port is converted as
follows: Floor & Defrost
(A, C, D, E, F, G)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floorand the windshield with a small amount
directed to the side window defrosters.
Floor-Level (A, C, D, E, F, G)
Most of the air flow is directed to the
floor, with a small amount of the air beingdirected to the windshield and side win-
dow defrosters.
Bi-Level (B, C, D, E, F, G)
Air flow is directed towards the face and
the floor.
Face-Level (B, D, F, G)
Air flow is directed toward the upper body

Auto defogging system (if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probability of
fogging up the inside of the windshield byautomatically sensing the moisture ofinside the windshield.This indicator illuminates
when the auto defoggingsystem senses the moistureof inside the windshield and
operates.
If more moisture is in the vehicle, the
higher steps operate as follow. For exam-
ple if auto defogging does not defoginside the windshield at step 1 Outside
air position, it tries to defog again at step
2 Blowing air toward the windshield.
Step 1 : Outside air positionStep 2 :Blowing air toward the windshield
Step 3 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
Step 4 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 5 : Maximizing the air conditioning
✽✽ NOTICE
 If the A/C off or recirculated air posi- tion is manually selected while the
auto defogging system is on, the auto
defogging indicator will blink 3 times
to give notice that manual operation is
canceled.
 If the air quality system (AQS) is
selected while the auto defogging sys-
tem is operating at the step 1 outside
air position, the recirculated air posi-
tion may operate when the outside air
is polluted.
