Leaving your vehicle unlocked increases
the potential risk to you or others from
someone hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, while
depressing the brake, move the shift
lever to the P (Park) position, engage
the parking brake, and place the START/
STOP button OFF position, close all

Child-protector rear door locks
OOSEV048003
The child safety lock is provided to help
prevent children seated in the rear from
accidentally opening the rear doors. The
rear door safety locks should be used
whenever children are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock is located on the
edge of each rear door. When the child
safety lock is in the lock position, the
rear door will not open if the inner door handle is pulled.
To lock the child safety lock, insert a
small flat blade tool (like a screwdriver or
similar) (1) into the slot and turn it to the
lock position as shown.
To allow a rear door to be opened from
inside the vehicle, unlock the child safety lock.
WARNING
If children accidently open the rear
doors while the vehicle is in motion,
they could fall out of the vehicle. The
rear door safety locks should always
be used whenever children are in the
vehicle.
Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
This function prevents the driver from
leaving a passenger in the rear seats.
If your vehicle is equipped with
additional navigation, please refer
to the infotainment system manual
separately supplied.
OCN7050135L
NOTICE
When the driver turns off the vehicle
and opens the driver’s door after
opening and closing a rear door, a
warning message “Check rear seats”
appears.
WARNING
The rear seat passenger alarm system
provides information to the driver to
check the rear seats but it does not
detect whether there is an object or
passenger in the back seats. Please
check the rear seats always when
leaving the vehicle.
CAUTION
The door open and close history is
initialized if the driver turns off the
vehicle and locks the vehicle doors.
Even though the rear door is not opened
again, the alarm may sound if there is
the previous record. For example, if the
driver does not lock the vehicle door
and opens the door to get off after the
alarm sounds, the alarm may go off.

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
occurs:
- A door is opened without using the smart key.
- The tailgate is opened without using the smart key.
- The 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 tailgate. For the system to
activate, you must lock the doors and the
tailgate from outside the vehicle with the
smart key or by pressing the button on
the outside of the door handles 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 tailgate, 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 tailgate, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set, check
the hood, the tailgate, 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 when 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 vehicle
(for smart key) and wait for 30 seconds.
• When the system is disarmed but a
door or tailgate is not opened within 30
seconds, the system will be rearmed.

steering wheel
Electric power steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the vehicle is off or if
the power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Also, the steering effort becomes heavier
as the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the
steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
• If the Electric Power Steering System
does not operate normally, the
warning light (
) will illuminate
or blink on the instrument cluster.
The steering wheel may become
difficult to control or operate. We
recommend to contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer to 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 placing the START/
STOP button in the ON position. This happens as the system performs
the EPS system diagnostics. When
the diagnostics are completed, the
steering wheel 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 START/STOP
button is placed 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 the vehicle is stationary, if you turn the steering wheel all the way
to the left or right continuously, the
steering wheel effort increases. This
is not a system malfunction. As time passes, the steering wheel effort will
return to its normal condition.

Tilt steering/Telescopic steering
WARNING
Never adjust the steering wheel while
driving. You may lose steering control
and cause severe personal injury, death
or accidents.
Information
After adjustment, sometimes the lock-
release lever may not lock the steering wheel.
It is not a malfunction. This occurs when
two gears are not engaged correctly. In this case, adjust the steering wheel again and then lock the steering wheel.OOS047006
To change the steering wheel angle and
height:
1. Pull down the lock-release lever (1).
2. Adjust the steering wheel to the desired angle (2) and height (3). Move
the steering wheel, so it points toward
your chest, not toward your face.
Make sure you can see the instrument
panel warning lights and gauges.
3. Pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place.
Push the steering wheel both up and
down to be certain it is locked in position.
CAUTION
While adjusting the steering wheel
height, please do not push or pull it
hard since the fixture can be damaged.

mirrors
Inside rearview mirror
Before you start driving, adjust the
rearview mirror to the center on the view
through the rear window.
WARNING
Make sure your line of sight is not
obstructed. Do not place objects in the
rear seat, cargo area, or behind the rear
headrests which could interfere with
your vision through the rear window.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury during an
accident or deployment of the air bag,
do not modify the rearview mirror and
do not install a wide mirror.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror while driving.
This may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as that
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing. Day/night rearview mirror (if equipped)

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision Safety™
(NVS®) Mirror (if equipped)
The NVS® Mirror automatically helps
reduce glare by monitoring light levels in
the front and the rear of the vehicle. Any
object that obstructs either light sensor
will degrade the automatic dimming
control feature.
For more information regarding NVS®
mirrors and other applications, please
refer to the Gentex website:
www.gentex.com
Your mirror will automatically dim
upon detecting glare from the vehicles
traveling behind you.
The mirror defaults to the ON position
each time the vehicle is started.
Integrated HomeLink® Wireless Control System
The HomeLink® Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace
up to three hand held radio-frequency
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 ignition
switch 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.
1. Programming HomeLink ®
The following steps show how to
program HomeLink. If you have any
questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink buttons,
refer to the HomeLink website or call the
HomeLink customer support toll-free
number. Do this, before going back to
the dealer who sold you the car.
