You can download the MyHyundai with Blue Link app
to your compatible smart phone from the following
sites:
• iPhone® — Apple® App Store
• Android™ — Google Play™
Remote Start enables you to remotely start your vehicle from virtually
anywhere. For vehicles equipped with full-automatic temperature
control, you can also enable climate control remotely and turn on the
front window defroster, ensuring a warm or cool car is ready to go
when you are.
• To use this feature, you must have a Blue Link Personal
Identification Number (PIN). To create or change your PIN,
log on to www.MyHyundai.com.
Remote Start
The MyHyundai with Blue Link App
• Remote Start will automatically shut off after 10 minutes or after
selected engine timer runs out in navigation vehicles.
• While this feature is active, the parking lights will blink until vehicle is
turned off or when vehicle is in operation.
• To continue operation of the vehicle, the proximity key must be inside
the vehicle with the driver prior to pressing the brake and being able
to move the gearshift from the P (Park) position.
Remember:
Preconditions:
• Ignition is OFF
• Alarm is armed (i.e., vehicle locked by key fob Remote Door Lock)
• Gearshift level is in the P (Park) position
• Brake pedal is not depressed
• Engine hood is securely closed
• All the doors are closed and locked
• The tailgate or trunk lid is closed
• The security/panic system is not activated
• The proximity key is not inside the vehicle
• The battery power is not low
• Vehicle is located in an open area
• It has been less than 4 days since last vehicle ignition off
• Vehicle located in area with good cell reception
Remote Start will terminate:
• After 10 minutes or after selected engine timer runs out in navigation
vehicles
• Brake is pressed without proximity key inside vehicle
• Alarm is triggered without proximity key inside vehicle
• Door/trunk is opened from inside the vehicle
Notice: Laws in some communities may restrict the use of the features that remotely start the engine. For example, some laws may require a person using the remote start feature to have the vehicle in view when doing so or limit the length of time a vehicle engine may idle. Please check local and state regulations for any requirements and restrictions on remote starting of vehicles and
engine idling time.
WARNING!
Do not remote start vehicle in an enclosed environment (i.e., closed ga\
rage). Prolonged operation of a motor vehicle in an enclosed environment can cause a harmful build-up of\
carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is harmful to your health. Exposure to high levels of carbon mo\
noxide can cause headaches, dizziness or in extreme cases unconsciousness and/or death. Do not leave\
children or animals unattended in a vehicle while using the remote start function.
CAUTION!
If the vehicle’s windshield wipers are left on when the vehicle was last driven, then t\
he wipers will turn on if the remote start function is activated. To avoid damage to the wiper blades (i.e., due to heavy ice or snow accumulated on the windshield), please always turn the vehicle’\
s windshield wipers off when parking the vehicle.

DRIVING
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
() : Press the shift
button, then
move shift lever.
() : Depress the brake
pedal, press the
shift button, and
then move shift
lever.
() : Move shift lever.
Move the shift lever from D (Drive) into

shift or rearward (–) to downshift.
Shiftronic mode
PADDLE SHIFTER
Press (-) to
downshift
Press (+) to
upshift
The Paddle shifter is available
when the shift lever is in the D
(Drive) position or Shiftronic
mode.
Press the [+] or [-] paddle shifter
once to shift up or down one
gear.
DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION
NOTE- EcoShift® Dual Clutch Transmission Characteristics
The EcoShift Dual Clutch Transmission behaves just like a manual
transmission, but with the added convenience of an automatic
transmission.
- The dual clutch transmission eliminates the need for a torque
converter. This direct drive structure and the ability to pre-select the
upshift gear allows shifts to be quick and responsive with constant
power through the shifts.
- The EcoShift Dual Clutch Transmission comes equipped with Hillstart
Assist Control. If you remove your foot from the brake pedal while you
are stopped on a hill, the vehicle will remain stationary for
approximately 2 seconds to prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards. If you press the accelerator pedal during the two-second
period, the vehicle will accelerate. If you wait for over two seconds,
the vehicle will enter into creep mode and may roll backwards if the
hill is steep.
- Always come to a complete stop before shifting into Park (P), Drive
(D), or Reverse (R).
Caution
A few common conditions that may make the transmission
susceptible to overheating include:
- Holding the vehicle on an incline with just your foot on the accelerator
pedal
TIP: When holding the vehicle on a hill, use the foot brake rather than
trying to hold the vehicle by keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
- Driving in stop-and-go traffic with frequent accelerating and
decelerating at low speed
TIP: Allow a gap to form ahead of you before moving the vehicle
forward.
Under certain conditions, such as stop-and-go driving, launching the
vehicle on a steep grade, or backing the vehicle up a long inclined
driveway, the transmission clutch temperatures may increase
excessively. When the clutch temperature is elevated above the
normal operating condition, the high temperature warning message is
displayed. If this occurs, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible
and allow the transmission to cool with the engine running and the
shift lever in Park (P). After the warning message clears, you can
continue to drive the vehicle with caution.

Quick Reference Guide I 4342 I Quick Reference Guide
DRIVING
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
The ESC system is an electronic
system designed to help the driver
maintain vehicle control under
adverse conditions.
• To turn LKAS on,
press the LKAS switch
• To turn LKAS off,
press the switch again.
The Lane Keeping Assist System
detects the lane on the road and
warns the driver if the vehicle
leaves the lane when the vehicle
speed is over 37mph.
LANE KEEP ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS)
ESC automatically selects the ON
position when the engine is started.
To turn off Traction Control
Press the ESC OFF button.
To turn off Traction and Stability
Control
Press and hold the ESC OFF button
for more than 3 seconds.
What is the Transmission High Temperature Warning Message?
• Under certain driving conditions such as stop-and-go driving or
driving slowly up a hill, the clutches tend to have more slip. This
condition tends to heat up the transmission.
• If the transmission temperature gets too high, a chime will sound
and a warning message will appear in the instrument cluster LCD
display.
• If this occurs, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and allow
the transmission to cool with the engine running. After the
transmission cools, the vehicle may be driven normally.
What if I’m Driving in Stop-and-Go Traffic?
• Whenever possible, come to a complete stop with your vehicle and
allow a gap to form in front of you. Then accelerate and move
forward.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for additional info on the DCT.
