ANTENNA
OCM052140A B870D02FC-GAT
Roof AntennaYour car uses a roof antenna to receive
both AM and FM broadcast signals.
This antenna is a removable type. To re-
move the antenna, turn the antenna coun-
terclockwise. To install the antenna, turn
the antenna clockwise.
CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 10,000 miles
(15,000 km) or once a year. If the car
is being driven in severe conditions
such as dusty, rough roads, more
frequent climate control air filter in-
spections and changes are required.
o When the air flow rate is decreased,
the system should be checked at an
authorized dealer.

CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FIL-
TER (IN FRONT OF EVAPO-
RATOR UNIT)B760A01CM-AAT(If installed)The climate control air filter is located in
front of the evaporator unit behind the

STEREO SOUND SYSTEMB750A02A-AATHow Car Audio Works
AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is
because AM radio waves are transmitted
at low frequencies. These long, low fre-
quency radio waves can follow the curva-
ture of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In addi-
tion, they curve around obstructions so
that they can provide better signal cover-
age. AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the radio
antenna on your car. This signal is then
received by the radio and sent to your car
speakers. When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise engi-
neering of your audio system ensures the
best possible quality reproduction. How-
ever, in some cases the signal coming to
your vehicle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors such as the
distance from the radio station, closeness
of other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre-
quencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM broad-
casts generally begin to fade at short dis-
tances from the station. Also, FM signals
are easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains, or other obstructions. These can
result in certain listening conditions which
might lead you to believe a problem exists
with your radio. The following conditions
are normal and do not indicate radio trouble:

o Fading - As your car moves away from
the radio station, the signal will weaken
and sound will begin to fade. When this
occurs, we suggest that you select an-
other stronger station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter
and your radio can disturb the signal
causing static or fluttering noises to
occur. Reducing the treble level may
lessen this effect until the disturbance
clears.o Station Swapping - As an FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may begin
to play. This is because your radio is
designed to lock onto the clearest sig-
nal. If this occurs, select another station
with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals
being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflected
signal from the same station, or by sig-
nals from two stations with close fre-
quencies. If this occurs, select another
station until the condition has passed.
B750B05Y-AATUsing a cellular phone or a two-way
radioWhen a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not mean that
something is wrong with the audio equip-
ment. In such a case, use the cellular
phone at a place as far as possible from the
audio equipment.
WARNING:
Hyundai recommends that you never
use a cell phone while driving. This could
result in loss of control, and an accident
that may cause death, serious injury, or
property damage. You must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.NOTE:Some states and cities have regulations
prohibiting the use of cell phones while
driving. You should be aware of the spe-
cific requirements in your area.

CARE OF DISCS
B850A02L B850A02F-AAT
Proper HandlingDamaged Disc
Do not attempt to play damaged, warped
or cracked discs. These could severely
damage the playback mechanism.StorageWhen not in use, place your discs in their
individual case and store them in a cool
place away from the sun, heat, and dust.
Do not grip or pull out the disc with your
hand while the disc is being pulled into the
unit by the self loading mechanism.
Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop
the disc. Hold the disc so you will not leave
fingerprints on the surface. If the surface is
scratched, it may cause the pickup to skip
signal tracks. Do not affix tape, paper, or
gummed labels on the disc. Do not write on
the disc.Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of
a disc could cause the pickup to skip signal
tracks. Wipe the surface clean with a clean
soft cloth. If the surface is heavily soiled,
dampen a clean soft cloth in a solution of
mild neutral detergent to wipe it clean. See
drawing.

B445B02CM-AATCONTROLLING HOW YOUR
AUDIO SYSTEM SOUNDSOperating your Audio system
Your audio system comprises a factory-
installed amplifier, an AM/FM digital tuner
(radio) and a CD player (single disc or 6-
disc changer). Use the CD player to play
discs encoded in the CD Audio, MP3, and
WMA formats. This audio system also
comes with an external Satellite Digital
Audio Receiver (SDAR) in providing the
XM service.
If your audio system is the D465S or D466S
model and it is connected to a factory-
installed Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
system*, you can control some playback
functions of the RSE system using the
audio system’s front panel controls (for
example, CD player controls).Your audio system has 5 different types of
controls. These controls are used either
independently or in combination with your
audio system’s radio, CD player, SDAR or
optional RSE system*.
NOTE:Your audio system’s factory-installed
amplifier is pre-configured for optimum
performance. You will not be able to
make any adjustments. If there is a prob-
lem with the audio system’s amplifier,
please consult a professional audio en-
gineer or the dealer where you purchased
your vehicle.1. General Controls:
These controls are used to operate the
entire audio system. (e.g. Power ON-OFF
control knob)
Use these controls independently or in
combination to control how the audio sys-
tem sounds. (e.g. Volume control, Bass
and Treble controls)
The sound settings you make are appli-
cable to all audio reproduction sources
(radio, CD, SDAR or auxiliary RSE* de-
vices).
2. AM/FM tuner controls:
Use these controls to operate, navigate
the menu options and change settings
when you are using the AM/FM digital
tuner.
