System is controlled by setting the
desired temperature.
1. Press the AUTO button.
The modes, fan speeds, air intake
and air-conditioning will be controlled
automatically by the temperature set-
ting you select.2. Turn the temperature control knob
to the desired temperature. If the
temperature is set to the lowest set-
ting (Lo), the air conditioning sys-
tem will operate continuously. After
the interior has cooled sufficiently,
adjust the knob to a higher temper-
ature set point whenever possible.
To turn the automatic operation off,
select any function of the following:
- Mode selection button
- Front windshield defroster button
(Press the button one more time to
deselect the front windshield
defroster function. The 'AUTO' sign
will illuminate on the information

For your convenience and to improve
the efficiency of the climate control,
use the AUTO button and set the
temperature to 72°F (22°C).
Information
In some situations, the air conditioning
system is used to control the tempera-
ture of the high voltage battery. This
may occur when the outside ambient
air temperature is high or when the
vehicle is charging. If this occurs, you
may hear sounds from operation of the
A/C compressor and/or cooling fan.
Also, when the outside ambient tem-
perature is high, the A/C performance
in the cabin may be reduced while
driving due to operation of the cooling
system for the high voltage battery.

recharge batteries of small size elec-
trical devices using a USB cable.
The electrical devices can be
recharged when the vehicle is ON.
Insert the USB charger into the USB
port, and re-charge a smart phone or
a tablet PC.
The battery charging state may be
monitored on the electrical device.

USB port after use. A smart phone or a tablet PC may
get warmer during the re-charging
process. It does not indicate any
malfunction with the charging sys-
tem.
A smart phone or a tablet PC,
which adopts a different re-charg-
ing method, may not be properly
re-charged. In this case, use an
exclusive charger of your device.
The charging terminal is only to
recharge a device. Do not use the
charging terminal either to turn ON
an audio or to play media.

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 cellular
phone on the wireless charging unit.
1. Remove other items, including the
smart key, from the wireless charg-
ing unit. If not, the wireless charg-
ing process may be interrupted.
Place the cellular phone on the
center of the charging pad ( ).
2. The indicator light is orange when
the cellular phone is charging. The
indicator 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 cellular phone is not charging:
- Slightly change the position of the
cellular phone on the charging
pad.
- Make sure the indicator light is
orange.
The indicator light will blink orange for
10 seconds if there is a malfunction in
the wireless charging system.
In this case, temporarily stop the
charging process, and re-attempt to
charge your cellular phone again.
The system warns you with a mes-
sage on the LCD display if the cellular
phone is still on the wireless charging
unit after the vehicle is turned OFF
and the front door is opened.
Information
For some manufacturers' cellular
phones, the system may not warn you
even though the cellular phone is left
on the wireless charging unit. This is
due to the particular characteristic of
the cellular phone and not a malfunc-
tion of the wireless charging. The wireless cellular phone
charging system may not sup-
port certain cellular phones,
which are not verified for the Qi
specification ( ).
When placing your cellular
phone on the charging mat,
position the phone in the middle
of the mat for optimal charging
performance. If your cell phone
is off to the side, the charging
rate may be less and in some
cases the cell phone may experi-
ence higher heat conduction.
In some cases, the wireless
charging may stop temporarily
when the Smart Key is used,
either when starting the vehicle or
locking/unlocking the doors, etc.
When charging certain cellular
phones, the charging indicator
may not change to green when
the cell phone is fully charged.

Convenient features of your vehicle
The wireless charging process
may temporarily stop, when tem-
perature abnormally increases
inside the wireless cellular phone
charging system. Stop the charg-
ing cellular phone and wait until
temperature falls to a certain level.
The wireless charging process
may temporarily stop when there
is any metallic item, such as a
coin, between the wireless cellular
phone charging system and the
cellular phone.
When charging some cellular
phones with a self-protection fea-
ture, the wireless charging speed
may decrease and the wireless
charging may stop.
If the cellular phone has a thick
cover, the wireless charging may
not be possible.
If the cell phone is not completely
contacting the charging pad, wire-
less charging may not operate
properly.
Some magnetic items like credit
cards, phone cards or rail tickets
may be damaged if left with the
cellular phone during the charging
process. When any cellular phone without a
wireless charging function or a
metallic object is placed on the
charging pad, a small noise may
sound. This small sound is due to
the vehicle discerning compatibil-
ity of the object placed on the
charging pad. It does not affect
your vehicle or the cellular phone
in any way.
Information
If the POWER button is in the OFF
position, the charging also stops.

What to do in an emergency
7. Connect the other end of the sec-
ond jumper cable to the black,
negative (-) chassis ground of
your vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the cor-
rect battery or jumper terminals or
the correct ground. Do not lean
over the battery when making
connections.
8. Start the motor of the assisting
vehicle and let it run at approxi-
mately 2,000 rpm for a few min-
utes. Then start your vehicle.
9. After your vehicle starts allow it to
operate at least 30 minutes with-
out shutting it down, this will help
charge back the 12V battery.
If your vehicle will not start after a
few attempts, it probably requires
servicing. In this event please seek
qualified assistance. If the cause of
your battery discharging is not
apparent, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Disconnect the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order you connected
them:
1. Disconnect the jumper cable from
the black, negative (-) chassis
ground of your vehicle (4).
2. Disconnect the other end of the
jumper cable from the black, neg-
ative (-) battery/chassis ground of
the assisting vehicle (3).
3. Disconnect the second jumper
cable from the red, positive (+)
battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
4. Disconnect the other end of the
jumper cable from the red, positive
(+) jumper terminal of your vehicle
(1).
