This system helps to protect your vehicle
and valuables. The horn will sound and
the hazard warning lights will blink
continuously if any of the following
occur: - A door is opened without using the smart key , Hyundai Digital key, or
Hyundai BlueLink service.
- The liftgate is opened without using the smart key.
- The engine hood is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds, then
the system resets. To turn off the alarm,
unlock the doors with the smart key.
The Theft Alarm System automatically
sets 30 seconds after you lock the
doors and the liftgate. For the system to
activate, you must lock the doors and
the liftgate from outside the vehicle with
the smart key or by touching the touch
sensor on the outside of the door handle
with the smart key in your possession.
The hazard warning lights will blink and
the chime will sound once to indicate the
system is armed.
Once the security system is set, opening
any door, the liftgate, or the hood
without using the smart key will cause
the alarm to activate.
The Theft Alarm System will not set if the
hood, the liftgate, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set, check
the hood, the liftgate, or the doors are
fully closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Information

[ Do not lock the doors until all
passengers have left the vehicle. If the
remaining passenger leaves the vehicle
after the system is armed, the alarm
will be activated.

[ If the vehicle is not disarmed with the
smart key, open the doors by using the
mechanical key and start the engine by
directly pressing the Engine Start/Stop
button with the smart key.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)
For information on steering modes,
please refer to the separately supplied
infotainment system manual.
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.
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 Electric Power Steering does not
operate normally, the warning
light and the message ‘Check motor
driven power steering’ 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 or to a service station and
have the system checked as soon as
possible.

[ When abnormality is detected in
the electric power steering system,
to prevent a deadly accident, the
steering assist function will stop. 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 zone.
Information
The following symptoms may occur during
normal vehicle operation:

[The steering effort may be high
immediately after pressing the Engine
Start/Stop button to 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
might 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 Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON or 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 EPS,
the steering effort assist function will
not be activated 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.

This may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE

towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as this

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision Safety™
(NVS®) Mirror (if equipped)
The NVS® Mirror automatically reduces
glar
e by monitoring light levels in the
front and the rear of the vehicle. Any
object that obstructs either light sensor

control feature.
For more information regarding NVS®
mirrors and other applications, please
refer to the Gentex website:

Integrated HomeLink® Wireless Control
System
The HomeLink® Wireless Control System
pr
ovides a convenient way to replace
up to three hand held radiofrequency
transmitters used to activate compatible
devices such as gate operators, garage
door openers, entry door locks, security
systems, and home lighting.
NOTICE
HomeLink® operates while the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ACC or
ON position for safety reasons. It is
to prevent unintentional security
problems from happening when the
vehicle is parked outside the garage.
WARNING
Before programming 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.
For more information, contact
HomeLink® at www.homelink.com, or
call Home-Link customer support at
1-800-355-3515.
It is also recommended that a new
battery be replaced in the handheld
transmitter of the device being trained
to HomeLink® for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio
frequency.

attached to the motor-head unit (see
the device’s manual to identify this
button). The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.
OOS040476N

à A ladder and/or second person may

8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release,
the HomeLink button up to three
times in a row slowly. Do not press
the HomeLink button rapidly. As soon
as you see the garage door start to
move, stop pressing any buttons
until a few seconds after the garage
door has come to a complete stop,
regardless of position. At this point,
programming is complete and your
device should operate when the
HomeLink button is pressed and
released. 3) Two-Way Communication
Programming (For select garage door
openers)
If your garage door opener has the
‘myQ’ logo on its side, your opener
likely has Two-Way Communication
capability. HomeLink has the capability
to establish Two-Way Communication
with your garage door opener. HomeLink
can receive and display “closing”
or “opening” status messages from
compatible garage door openers. At
any time, Home-Link can also recall
and display the last recorded status
communicated by the garage door
opener to indicate your garage door
being “closed” or “opened”.
To check if your garage door opener is
compatible with this feature, refer to
www.homelink.com/compatible/ Two-
way-Communication. If your garage
door opener has this functionality, AND
the Two-Way Communication indicators
(4), (6) in the mirror appear while the
garage door is opening/closing, then
no further steps are needed. Two-Way
Communication Programming is already
complete.
However, if your garage door opener
has this functionality, AND the Two-
Way Communication indicators (4), (6)
in the mirror DO NOT appear while the
garage door is opening/closing, use
the following instructions to enable this
functionality.
