Convenient features of your vehicle
The power liftgate can be oper- ated when the engine is not run-
ning. However, the power liftgate
operation consumes a large
amount of electic power.
To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not oper-
ate it excessively (e.g. more than
5 times repeatedly).
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave
the power liftgate in the open
position for a long time.
Do not modify or repair any part of the power liftgate by yourself.
This must be done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer. When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehi-
cle, do not operate the power
liftgate. This could cause the
power liftgate to operate
improperly.
In cold and wet climates, the power liftgate may not work
properly due to freezing condi-
tions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power liftgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
liftgate will detect the resistance.
If resistance is detected while open-
ing or closing the power liftgate, the
liftgate will stop and move in the
opposite direction.

What to do in an emergency
Changing Tires
Follow these steps to change your
vehicle's tire:
1. Park on a level, firm surface.
2. Move the shift lever into P (Park),apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.
3. Press the hazard warning flasher button.
4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench, jack, jack handle, and spare tire
from the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear of the tire diagonally opposite of the tire
you are changing.
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a
jack causing serious injury or
death to you or those nearby.
Take the following safety pre-
cautions:
Never place any portion of
your body under a vehicle that
is supported by a jack.
NEVER attempt to change a
tire in the lane of traffic.
ALWAYS move the vehicle
completely off the road on
level, firm ground away from
traffic before trying to change
a tire. If you cannot find a level,
firm place off the road, call a
towing service for assistance.
Be sure to use the jack pro-
vided with the vehicle.
ALWAYS place the jack on the
designated jacking positions
on the vehicle and NEVER on
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jacking sup-
port.
Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on the
jack.
Do not allow anyone to remain
in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.
Keep children away from the
road and the vehicle.
WARNING Ensure the spare tire retainer
guide is properly aligned with
the center of the spare tire to
prevent the spare tire from "rat-
tling".
Otherwise, it may cause the
spare tire to fall off the carrier
and lead to an accident.

6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts coun-terclockwise one turn each in the
order shown above, but do not
remove any lug nuts until the tire
has been raised off of the ground. 7. Place the jack at the designated
jacking position under the frame
closest to the tire you are chang-
ing. The jacking positions are
plates welded to the frame with
two notches. Never jack at any
other position or part of the vehi-
cle. Doing so may damage the
side seal molding or other parts of
the vehicle. 8. Insert the jack handle into the jack
and turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tire clears the
ground. Make sure the vehicle is
stable on the jack.
