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 lime.
Do not modify or repair any part of the power liftgate by yourself.
This must be done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)(Continued)
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.
NOTICE

Operating the power liftgate
more than 5 times continuously
could cause damage to the oper-
ating motor. In this case, the
power liftgate system enters into
thermal protection mode to pre-
vent the motor from overheating.
In thermal protection mode the
power liftgate will not operate. If
any of the power liftgate buttons
are pressed to try to open the
liftgate, the chime will sound 3
times but the liftgate will remain
closed.
Allow the power liftgate system
to cool for about 1 minute before
operating the system again.

beyond the normal range area
toward the "H" position, it indi-
cates overheating that may dam-
age the engine.

overheated engine. If your vehicle
overheats, refer to "If the Engine
Overheats" in chapter 6.
Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi-mate amount of fuel remaining in thefuel tank.
Information
 The fuel tank capacity is given inchapter 8.
 The fuel gauge is supplemented by a low fuel warning light, which will

reservoir cap when the engine is
hot. The engine coolant is under
pressure and could severely
burn. Wait until the engine is cool
before adding coolant to the
reservoir.
