Multimedia System
Aux, USB and iPod®port
(if equipped)
If your vehicle has an aux and/or
USB(universal serial bus) port or
iPod port, you can use an aux port to
connect audio devices and the USB
port to plug in a USB device.
Both ports are used together with the
accessory iPod cable to connect an
iPod.
✽✽ NOTICE
When using a portable audio device
connected to the power outlet, noise
may occur during playback. If this
happens, use the power source of the
portable audio device.

How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then processed by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear.

 If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may
damage the USB device. (USB
flashdrives are very sensitive to
electric shock.)
 If the engine is started up or turned off while the external USB
device is connected, the external
USB device may not work.
 The System may not play unau- thenticated MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate between
8Kbps~320Kbps.
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression rate
between 8Kbps~320Kbps.
 Take precautions for static elec- tricity when connecting or dis-
connecting the external USB
device. (Continued)(Continued)

not recognizable.
 Depending on the condition of the external USB device, the
connected external USB device
can be unrecognizable.
 When the formatted byte/sector setting of External USB device
is not either 512BYTE or
2048BYTE, then the device will
not be recognized.
 Use only a USB device format- ted to FAT 12/16/32.
 USB devices without USB I/F authentication may not be rec-
ognizable.
 Make sure the USB connection terminal does not come in con-
tact with the human body or
other objects.
 If you repeatedly connect or dis- connect the USB device in a
short period of time, it may
break the device.
 You may hear a strange noise when connecting or disconnect-
ing a USB device. (Continued)(Continued)
 If you disconnect the external
USB device during playback in
USB mode, the external USB
device can be damaged or may
malfunction. Therefore, discon-
nect the external USB device
when the audio is turned off or
in another mode. (e.g, Radio,
CD)
 Depending on the type and capacity of the external USB
device or the type of the files
stored in the device, there is a
difference in the time taken for
recognition of the device.
 Do not use the USB device for purposes other than playing
music files.
 Playing videos through the USB is not supported.

device may become damaged if
it is already connected when the
ignition is turned on.The USB
device may not operate properly
if the car ignition is turned on or
off with the USB device connect-
ed.

USB devices.
 Encoded MP3 Players will not be recognized when connected
as an external device.
 When connecting an external USB device, the device may not
properly recognize the USB is in
some states.
 Only products formatted with byte/sectors under 64Kbyte will
be recognized.
 This device recognizes USB devices formatted in FAT
12/16/32 file formats. This
device does not recognize files in
NTFS file format. (Continued)(Continued)
 Some USB devices may not be supported due to compatibility
issues.
 Avoid contact between the USB connector with bodily parts or
foreign objects.
 Repeated connecting/discon- necting of USB devices within
short periods of time may result
in product malfunction.
 A strange noise may occur when disconnecting the USB.
 Make sure to connect/discon- nect external USB devices with
the audio power turned off.
 The amount of time required to recognize the USB device may
differ depending on the type,
size or file formats stored in the
USB. Such differences in time
are not indications of malfunc-
tions.
 The device only supports USB devices used to play music files.
 USB images and videos are not supported. (Continued)(Continued)
 Do not use the USB I/F to charge batteries or USB acces-
sories that generate heat. Such
acts may lead to worsened per-
formance or damage to the
device.
 The device may not recognize the USB device if separately
purchased USB hubs and exten-
sion cables are being used.
Connect the USB directly with
the multimedia terminal of the
vehicle.
 When using mass storage USB devices with separate logical
drives, only files saved to the
root drive can be played.
 Files may not properly operate if application programs are
installed to the USBs.

Driving your vehicle
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. Exposure to CO can cause
unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If
you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the
vehicle, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Run the engine only
long enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle , be sure to do so only in an
open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes located in front of the windshield
clear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.
If you must drive with the tailgate open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face", and the fan control set to high.
WARNING
