Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if the
power tailgate is blocked by an object or
part of the body, the power tailgate will
detect the resistance.
If the resistance is detected while
opening the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
If the resistance is detected while clos- ing the tailgate, it will stop and move in
the opposite direction.
However, if the resistance is weak such
as from an object that is thin or soft, or
the tailgate is near the latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may not
detect the resistance. If the automatic reversal feature operates
continuously more than twice during
opening or closing operation, the power
tailgate may stop at that position. At this
time, close the tailgate manually and
operate the tailgate automatically again.
How to reset the power tailgate
If the battery has been discharged or dis-
connected, or if the related fuse has
been replaced or disconnected, for the
power tailgate to operate normally, reset
the power tailgate as follow:
1. Put the shift lever in P (Park).
2. Press the tailgate handle switch and
tailgate close button at the same time
for more than 3 seconds. (the chime
will sound)
3. Close the tailgate manually.
If the power tailgate does not work prop-
erly after the above procedure, have the
system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If the power tailgate does not operate
normally, first check the following con-
dition before using the power tailgate.
Check if the shift lever is in:
• neutral for manual transaxle vehicles
• P (Park) for automatic transaxle vehi-
cles

Power windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls the door’s window. The dri-
ver’s door has a master power window
switch that controls all the windows in the
vehicle. Also, the driver has a power win-
dow lock switch which can block the
operation of rear passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated for
approximately 30 seconds after the igni-
tion key is removed or turned to the ACC
or LOCK position. However, if the front
doors are opened, the power windows
cannot be operated even within the 30
seconds period.
✽ ✽NOTICE
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped) in
an open (or partially open position), your
vehicle may demonstrate a wind buffet-
ing or pulsation noise. This noise is a
normal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the following
actions. If the noise occurs with one or
both of the rear windows down, partially
lower both front windows approximate-
ly one inch. If you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly reduce the
size of the sunroof opening.
Window opening and closing

or pull up the front portion of the corre-
sponding switch to the first detent posi-
tion (5). Type BAuto up/down window (if equipped)

switch momentarily to the second detent
position (6) completely lowers or lifts the
window even when the switch is released.

If the power window does not operate
normally, the automatic power window
system must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
2. Close the driver’s window and contin- ue pulling up the driver’s power win-
dow switch for at least 1 second after
the window is completely closed.
Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance and
will stop upward movement. The window
will then lower approximately 30 cm (11.8
in.) to allow the object to be cleared.
If the window detects the resistance
while the power window switch is pulled
up continuously, the window will stop
upward movement then lower approxi-
mately 2.5 cm (1 in.). And if the power
window switch is pulled up continuously
again within 5 seconds after the window
is lowered by the automatic window
reversal feature, the automatic window
reversal will not operate.
✽ ✽NOTICE
The automatic reverse feature is only
active when the “auto up” feature is
used by fully pulling up the switch. The
automatic reverse feature will not oper-
ate if the window is raised using the
halfway position on the power window
switch.

WARNING
Always check for obstructions
before raising any window to avoid
injuries or vehicle damage. If an
object less than 4 mm (0.16 in.) in
diameter is caught between the
window glass and the upper win-
dow channel, the automatic reverse
window may not detect the resist-
ance and will not stop and reverse
direction.

WARNING - Hood
Before closing the hood, ensurethat all obstructions are removed
from the hood opening. Closing
the hood with an obstruction
present in the hood opening may
result in property damage or
severe personal injury.
Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.
WARNING
Always double check to be surethat the hood is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the hood could fly open
while the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility,
which might result in an accident.
The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole whenev-
er you inspect the engine com-
partment. This will prevent the
hood from falling and possibly
injuring you.
Do not move the vehicle with the hood raised. The view will be
blocked and the hood could fall
or be damaged.

WARNING - Refueling
If pressurized fuel sprays out, itcan cover your clothes or skin
and thus subject you to the risk
of fire and burns. Always remove
the fuel cap carefully and slowly.
If the cap is venting fuel or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until
the condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Do not "top off" after the nozzle automatically shuts off when
refueling.
Always check that the fuel cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.
(Continued)
Do not get back into a vehicleonce you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab-
ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source.
When using an approved portable fuel container, be sure to
place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicle
should be maintained until the
filling is complete.
(Continued)WARNING - Refueling dan-
gers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
Read and follow all warning post-ed at the gas station facility.
Before refueling note the location of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.
Before touching the fuel nozzle, you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.
