vehicle that could injure them,
or they could encounter other
harm, possibly from someone

tion, engage the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in
the LOCK/OFF position, close
all windows, lock all doors, and
always take the key with you.

is approaching may cause dam-
age or injury. Be careful when
opening doors and watch for
vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles
or pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.

long time while the weather is
very hot or cold, there are risks
of injuries or danger to life. Do
not lock the vehicle from the
outside when someone is in the

Safe Exit Assist (SEA) System
(if equipped)
1. The Safe Exit Assist system is pro-vided to help prevent the passen-
gers from opening a door by warning
the passengers when an approach-
ing vehicle from the rear area is
detected after the vehicle stops.
2. When an approaching vehicle from the rear area is detected
after the vehicle stops, the rear
door does not unlock even when
the driver tries to unlock the rear
door using the Electronic child
safety lock button. The "Check
surroundings then try again"
warning message appears on the
cluster and a warning sounds. However if you press the switch
within 10 seconds after the warn-
ing message appears (the indica-
tor on the switch will turn off), the
system judges that the driver
unlocked the door acknowledging
the rear status and released
regardless of the rear status.
3. When an approaching vehicle from the rear is detected the
moment the door is opened, the
"Watch for traffic" warning mes-
sage appears on the cluster and a
warning sounds.
The above 2 and 3 functions are activated when you select ‘Driver
Assistance →Blind-Spot Safety →
Safe Exit Assistance (SEA)’ from
the User Settings mode in the clus-
ter LCD display. The Electronic child safety lock
system will operate for approxi-
mately 10 minutes after the ignition
key is removed or turned to the
LOCK (or OFF) position. After
about 10 minutes, the indicator on
the switch turns off and you cannot
deactivate the Electronic child
safety lock system. To deactivate
the Electronic child safety lock sys-
tem, press the Electronic child safe-
ty lock switch again with the ignition
switch in the ON position or after
starting the engine.
When the power is supplied again after removing the battery or bat-
tery discharge while the child safe-
ty lock is in the lock position, press
the child safety lock switch once
again to match the state of the indi-
cator on the child safety lock switch
and actual status of the Electronic
child safety lock system.
If the airbag is activated while the child safety lock switch is ON (the
indicator on the switch illuminates)
it automatically switches OFF and
the rear door is unlocked.

cle and valuables. The horn will sound
and the hazard warning lights will blink
continuously if any of the following
occur:
- A door is opened without using theremote key or smart key.
- The liftgate is opened without using the remote key or smart key.
- The engine hood is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds
(repeats 2 times unless the system is
disarmed), then the system resets. To
turn off the alarm, unlock the doors
with the remote key or smart key.

to activate, you must lock the doors
and the liftgate from outside the vehi-
cle with the remote key or smart key or

the hood, the liftgate, or any door is
not fully closed. If the system will not
set, check the hood, the liftgate, or the
doors are fully closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it.

sengers have left the vehicle. If the
remaining passenger leaves the
vehicle when the system is armed,
the alarm will be activated.

Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the vehicle is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, you may still
steer the vehicle, but it will require
increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate nor-
mally, the warning light ( ) will
illuminate on the instrument
cluster. You may steer the vehi-
cle, but it will require increased
steering efforts. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system
checked as soon as possible. When abnormality is detected in
the electric power steering sys-
tem, the steering assist function
will stop. At this time, the warn-
ing light turns on or blinks on
the cluster. The steering wheel
may become difficult to control
or operate. Have your vehicle
checked immediately, after mov-
ing 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 igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are complet-
ed, the steering wheel effort will
return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch
is in the ON or LOCK/OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed. • When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperatures, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If the temper-
ature rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.
• When an error is detected from the EPS, the steering effort assist func-
tion will not be activated.
Instrument cluster warning lights
may be on or the steering effort
may be high. If these symptoms
occur, drive the vehicle to a safe
area as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
