Safety system of your vehicle
In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to “ride” under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
“underride” collisions. Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side impact and curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact collision,
if the vehicle is equipped with side
impact air bags and curtain air bags.
Also, if the vehicle is equipped with a
rollover sensor, side impact and cur-
tain air bags may inflate in a rollover.

Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati- cally controls the glare from the head-
lights of the car behind you in night-
time or low light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-matically adjusts to control the head-
light glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat-
ically go to the brightest setting to
improve the driver’s view behind the
vehicle.
To operate the electric rearview
mirror:
Press the ON/OFF button (1) to turn the automatic dimming func-
tion on. The mirror indicator light
will illuminate.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn
the automatic dimming function off.
The mirror indicator light will turn
off.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi- tion whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.

AUTO control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls
the wiping cycle for the proper inter-
val. The more it rains, the faster the
wiper operates. When the rain stops,
the wiper stops. To vary the speed
setting, turn the speed control knob
(1). If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when ignition switch is in the
ON position, the wiper will operate
once to perform a self-check of the
system. Set the wiper to OFF posi-
tion when the wiper is not in use.To avoid personal injury from
the windshield wipers, when theengine is running and the wind-
shield wiper switch is placed in
the AUTO mode:
Do not touch the upper end of the windshield glass facing
the rain sensor.
Do not wipe the upper end of the windshield glass with a
damp or wet cloth.
Do not put pressure on the windshield glass.
WARNING
If there is heavy accumulation
of snow or ice on the wind-
shield, defrost the windshield
for about 10 minutes, or until
the snow and/or ice is
removed before using the
windshield wipers to ensure
proper operation.
When you operate the wipers,
if your vehicle has a problem
in any part of the wiper opera-
tion system, the wiper mayoperate in the LO mode
regardless of the wiper switch
position. In this case, have
your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible.
When the engine is turned off,
the wiper blade sometimes
may move slightly to helpreduce the deterioration of the
windshield wipers.

Front windshield washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1- 3 cycles.
The spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the lever. If
the washer does not work, you may
need to add washer fluid to the
washer fluid reservoir.When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warmthe windshield using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
shield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an acci-
dent and serious injury or death.
WARNING
To prevent possible damage
to the washer pump, do notoperate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually or oper-
ate the wipers when the wind-
shield is dry.
CAUTION
When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch to the OFFposition to stop the auto wiper
operation. The wiper may oper-
ate and be damaged if the
switch is set in the AUTO mode
while washing the vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor
cover located on the upper
end of the passenger side
windshield glass. Damage to
system parts could occur.

What to do in an emergency
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including theinstallation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the TPMSmalfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replace-
ment or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to func-
tion properly.
✽✽NOTICE
If the TPMS Low Tire Pressure
Telltale does not illuminate for three
seconds when the ignition switch is
in the ON position or when the
engine starts, or if it remains illumi-
nated after coming on for approxi-
mately three seconds, take your
vehicle to your nearest authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.
Low Tire Pressure
Telltale
The TPMS is not a substitute for
manually checking tire pressure with
a tire pressure gauge. Changes in
temperature affect tire pressure. See
“Tires and Wheels” in chapter 7 forproper tire inflating and tire pressure
measurement procedures.
Immediately reduce your speed,
avoid hard cornering and anticipate
increased stopping distances. You
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible. Inflate the tires tothe proper pressure as indicated on
the vehicle’s placard or tire inflation
pressure label located on the driver’s
side door jamb. If you cannot reach a
service station or if the tire cannot
hold the newly added air, replace the
low pressure tire with the compact
spare tire. The Low Tire Pressure Telltale will
remain on and the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may blink for one minuteand then remain illuminated if the
vehicle is driven approximately 20
minutes at speed above 15.5 mph(25 km/h).
✽✽
NOTICE
The compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure sensor.
