Information

ON position, the heating system in the
seat turns off or on automatically
depending on the seat temperature.
i(Continued)
•Avoid spilling liquids on the
surface of the front seats and
seatbacks; this may cause the
air vent holes to become
blocked and not work properly.
•Do not place materials such
as plastic bags or newspa-
pers under the seats. They
may block the air intake caus-
ing the air vents to not work
properly.
•Do not change the seat cov-
ers. It may damage the seat
warmer or air ventilation seat.
•If the air vents do not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is
no change, we recommend
that you have your vehicle
inspected by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
To prevent damage to the seat
warmer, air ventilation seat and
seats:
•Use the seat warmer and air
ventilation seat ONLY when
the climate control system is
on. Using the seat warmer and
air ventilation seat for pro-
longed periods of time with
the climate control system off
could cause the seat warmer
and air ventilation seat to mal-
function.
•Never use a solvent such as
paint thinner, benzene, alco-
hol or petrol to clean the
seats.

position to be able to raise or lower
the windows. Each door has a power
window switch to control that door's
window. The driver has a power win-
dow lock switch which can block the
operation of passenger windows.
The power windows will operate for
approximately 30 seconds after the
ignition switch is placed in the ACC
or OFF position. However, if the front
doors are opened, the power win-
dows cannot be operated even with-
in the 30 second period.Information
• In cold and wet climates, power win-
dows may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• Whilst driving with the rear win-
dows down or with the sunroof (if
equipped) opened (or partially
opened), your vehicle may demon-
strate a wind buffeting or pulsation
noise. This noise is normal and can
be reduced or eliminated by taking
the following actions. If the noise
occurs with one or both of the rear
windows down, partially lower both
front windows approximately one
inch. If you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly close
the sunroof.

Press the window switch down to the
first detent position (5). Release the
switch when you want the window to
stop.

dow switch when you want the win-
dow to stop.
