Power trunk non-opening condi-
tions

automatically, when the vehicle is
moving more than 3 km/h (1.8 mph).
✽NOTICE
If there are obstacles such as snow
on the power trunk, it may not open
automatically. After remove the
obstacle, try to open it again.
✽NOTICE
• The power trunk can be operated
when the engine is not running.
However the power trunk opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being discharged,
do not operate it excessively e.g.:
more than approximately 10 times
repeatedly.
• To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the power
trunk in the open position for a
long lime.
• Do not apply excessive force while
operating the power trunk. This
could cause damage to the power
trunk.
• Do not modify or repair any part of
the power trunk by yourself. We
recommend that the system be serv-
iced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle,
do not operate the power trunk.
This could cause the power trunk
to operate improperly.
Automatic stop and reversal
If, during power opening or closing, the
trunk is blocked by an object or part of
the body, the power trunk will detect
the resistance, and it will stop move-
ment or move to the full open position
to allow the object to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin or
soft, or the trunk is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and
reversal may not detect the resist-
ance and the closing operation will
continue. Also, if the power trunk is
forced by a strong impact, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may operate.
WARNING
Never leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle.
Children or animals might oper-
ate the power trunk that could
result in injury to themselves or
others, or damage to the vehicle.
