Opening and Closing the Monitor
To view the monitor, locate the latch on
the bottom-center of the ceiling-mounted
unit and pull it forward. This will release
the monitor from its locked, stow-away
position.
Adjust the monitor to the best viewing
angle. Do not touch the LCD panel itself
to avoid damage or smudging.
Adjusting the Monitor
Press the DISP button on the RSE con-
trol panel to adjust the parameters of the
monitor. To adjust the brightness, firstly,
select the brightness item, then, press
the < REW (dimmer) or FF > (brighter)
buttons. The next time the RSE is turned
on, the monitor will return to the bright-
ness level it was adjusted to when last
used. Brightness can be adjusted regard-
less of whether the RSE is playing an
audio or video source.
While the RSE is playing a video signal,

Audio via Vehicle Speakers
To hear the audio from the RSE through
the vehicle's speakers, the RSE button
(located in the front radio control) must
be selected. Regardless of whether RSE
audio is selected for the vehicle speakers
or not, when the RSE audio is playing it
can be heard in the headphones.
Volume Control
You can adjust the volume of the audio
heard in the vehicle speakers from the
RSE control panel or the remote control.
From the RSE control panel, rotate the
POWER/VOLUMEknob. From the
remote control, press "VOL +" to
increase the volume and "VOL - " to
decrease the volume.
Adjusting the volume in this way will not
affect the wireless headphone volume. To
adjust the headphones, turn the VOL
control wheel on the headphones.
Headphones
Your RSE comes with two (2) sets of
wireless headphones and four (4) AAA
1.5V batteries. To install the batteries,
press the button below the battery com-
partment on the right side of each set of
headphones and insert each of the bat-
teries, observing the correct polarity as
shown in the headphone battery com-
partment. Each set of headphones
requires two batteries.
To turn the headphones on, push the
POWER button on the left side of the
headphones. Push the button again to
turn the headphones off. Adjust the vol-
ume by turning the Volume control. The
headphones can be adjusted for size,
and can be stored more compactly by
folding them.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Conserve the energy of your batteries
by turning the headphones off when
they are not in use. Headphone bat-
teries will typically work for 48 hours,
depending on the volume setting.
• The headphone has an automatic shutoff feature to extend battery life.
The headphones will automatically
turn off after 20 seconds if they don't
detect a signal from the RSE.
• In case of poor headphone reception performance, please check the battery
condition.
The headphones perform best when
used within 2 - 8 feet (0.6-2 m) of the
RSE LCD display. Getting too close or
too far away will cause poor reception.
• Audio from the vehicle's CD/radio cannot be heard through the head-
phones.

Driving with a trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting out
for the open road, you must get to know
your trailer. Acquaint yourself with the
feel of handling and braking with the
added weight of the trailer. And always
keep in mind that the vehicle you are
driving is now a good deal longer and not
nearly so responsive as your vehicle is
by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch
and platform, safety chains, electrical
connector(s), lights, tires and mirror
adjustment. If the trailer has electric
brakes, start your vehicle and trailer mov-
ing and then apply the trailer brake con-
troller by hand to be sure the brakes are
working. This lets you check your electri-
cal connection at the same time.
During your trip, check occasionally to be
sure that the load is secure, and that the
lights and any trailer brakes are still work-
ing.
E140401AUN
Following distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehi-
cle ahead as you would when driving
your vehicle without a trailer. This can
help you avoid situations that require
heavy braking and sudden turns.
E140402AUN
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up
ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And,
because of the increased vehicle length,
you’ll need to go much farther beyond the
passed vehicle before you can return to
your lane. Due to the added load to the
engine when going uphill the vehicle may
also take longer to pass than it would on
flat ground.
E140403AUN
Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. Then, to move the trailer
to the left, just move your hand to the left.
To move the trailer to the right, move your
hand to the right. Always back up slowly
and, if possible, have someone guide
you.
E140404AUN
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make
wider turns than normal. Do this so your
trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs,
road signs, trees, or other objects near
the edge of the road. Avoid jerky or sud-
den maneuvers. Signal well in advance
before turning or lane changes.

Turn signals when towing a trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has
to have a different turn signal flasher and
extra wiring. The green arrows on your
instrument panel will flash whenever you
signal a turn or lane change. Properly
connected, the trailer lights will also flash
to alert other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows
on your instrument panel will flash for
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are
burned out. Thus, you may think drivers
behind you are seeing your signals
when, in fact, they are not. It’s important
to check occasionally to be sure the trail-
er bulbs are still working. You must also
check the lights every time you discon-
nect and then reconnect the wires.
Do not connect a trailer lighting system
directly to your vehicle’s lighting system.
Use only an approved trailer wiring har-
ness.
An authorized HYUNDAI dealer can
assist you in installing the wiring harness.
E140406AFD
Driving on grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear
before you start down a long or steep
downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you
might have to use your brakes so much
that they would get hot and no longer
operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70
km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine
and transaxle overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the max-
imum trailer weight without trailer brakes
and you have an automatic transaxle,
you should drive in D (Drive) when tow-
ing a trailer.
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive) when
towing a trailer will minimize heat build up
and extend the life of your transaxle.
WARNING
Failure to use an approved trailer
wiring harness could result in dam-
age to the vehicle electrical system
and/or personal injury.

What to do in an emergency
26
ROAD WARNING
F010100AUN
Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the vehi-
cle is stopped near the edge of a road-
way.
Depress the flasher switch with the igni-
tion switch in any position. The flasher
switch is located in the center console
switch panel. All turn signal lights will
flash simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or not.
The turn signals do not work when the hazard flasher is on.
Care must be taken when using the hazard warning flasher while the vehi-
cle is being towed.
If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the vehi-
cle to a safe place.
F020200AUN
If you have a flat tire while driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedaland let the vehicle slow down while
driving straight ahead. Do not apply the
brakes immediately or attempt to pull
off the road as this may cause a loss of
control. When the vehicle has slowed
to such a speed that it is safe to do so,
brake carefully and pull off the road.
Drive off the road as far as possible
and park on firm, level ground. If you
are on a divided highway, do not park
in the median area between the two
traffic lanes.

WARNING- Halogen bulbs
Halogen bulbs contain pressur- ized gas that will produce flying
pieces of glass if broken.
Always handle them carefully, and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never touch
the glass with bare hands.
Residual oil may cause the bulb
to overheat and burst when lit. A
bulb should be operated only
when installed in a headlight.
(Continued)
