Ventilated front seats
(if equipped)
The ventilated front seats are provid-
ed to cool the front seats by blowing
air through small vent holes on the
surface of the seat cushions and
seatbacks.
When the operation of the ventilated
seat is not needed, keep the switch-
es in the OFF position.
While the vehicle is in the ready
mode ( ), push the switch to
cool the driver's seat or the front pas-
senger's seat. Each time you push the switch,
the airflow changes as follows:
When pressing the switch for
more than 1.5 seconds with the
ventilated seat operating, the oper-
ation will turn OFF.
The ventilated seats defaults to
the OFF position each time the
POWER button is placed to the
ON position.
To prevent damage to the ventilated
seat:
Use the ventilated seat ONLY
when the climate control system
is on. Using the ventilated seat for
prolonged periods of time with
the climate control system off
could cause the ventilated seat to
malfunction.
Never use a solvent such as paint
thinner, benzene, alcohol or gaso-
line to clean the seats. Avoid spilling liquids on the sur-
face of the front seats and seat-
backs; this may cause the air vent
holes to become blocked and not
work properly.
Do not place materials such as
plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. They may block the air
intake causing the air vents to not
work properly.
Do not change the seat covers. It
may damage the ventilated seat.
If the air vents do not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, have the vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.NOTICE

Power Windows
The POWER button must be in the
ON position to be able to raise or
lower the windows. Each door has a
Power Window switch to control that
door’s window. The driver has a
Power Window Lock switch which can
block the operation of passenger win-
dows. The power windows will oper-
ate for approximately 10 minutes after
the POWER button is placed in the
ACC or OFF position.
However, as soon as the front doors
are opened, electrical power to the
windows will be turned off, so the 10-
minute period where power to the win-
dows is available will be cancelled.
Information
• In cold and wet climates, power
windows may not work properly
due to freezing conditions.
• While driving with the rear win-
dows down or with the sunroof (if
equipped) opened (or partially
opened), your vehicle may demon-
strate a wind buffeting or pulsation
noise. This noise is normal 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 approximately one
inch. If you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly close
the sunroof.
Window opening and closing
To open:
Press the window switch down to the
first detent position (5). Release the
switch when you want the window to
stop.
To close:
Pull the window switch up to the first
detent position (5). Release the win-
dow switch when you want the win-
dow to stop.

are opened, electrical power to the
sunroof will be turned off, so the 10-
minute period where power to the
sunroof is available will be cancelled.Information
• In cold and wet climates, the sun-
roof may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• After the vehicle is washed or in a
rainstorm, be sure to wipe off any
water that is on the sunroof before

roof control lever after the sun-
roof is fully opened, closed, or
tilted. Damage to the motor or
system components could occur.

fully when leaving your vehicle.
If the sunroof is open, rain or
snow may enter through the
sunroof and damage the interior.
Also, if the sunroof is left open,
risk of theft may be increased.

Convenient features of your vehicle
When there are only 2 bars remain-
ing on the gauge, the SOC level is
low. The warning lamp turns ON to
alert you that the battery must be
charged soon.
When the warning lamp turns ON,
the vehicle can drive an additional
12~18 miles (20~30 km) depending
on the driving speed, heater/air con-
ditioner, weather, driving style, and
other factors. Charging is required.
When there are 1-2 gauge bars left
for the high voltage battery, the
vehicle speed is limited and then
eventually the vehicle will turn OFF.
Charge the vehicle immediately.
Outside temperature indicator
The outside temperature is shown in
the lower portion of the cluster LCD
display. The units may be displayed
in Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C).
- Temperature range :-40°F ~ 140°F
(-40°C ~ 60°C)
Note that the temperature indicated
on the LCD display may not change
as quickly as the outside tempera-
ture (there may be a slight delay
before the temperature changes.) You can change the temperature unit
from °F to °C or °C to °F in the User
Settings mode in the cluster:
- Go to User Settings Mode ➝Other
➝Temperature Unit.

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.
