The NVS®Mirror automatically
reduces glare by monitoring light lev-
els in the front and the rear of the
vehicle. Any object that obstructs
either light sensor will degrade the
automatic dimming control feature.

Your mirror will automatically dim
upon detecting glare from the vehi-
cles traveling behind you. The auto-
dimming function can be controlled
by pressing the Dimming ON/OFF
button:
1. Pressing and holding the button
for 3 seconds turns the auto-dim-
ming function OFF which is indi-
cated by the green Status
Indicator LED turning off.
2. Pressing and holding the button
for 3 seconds again turns the auto-
dimming function ON which is indi-
cated by the green Status Indicator
LED turning on.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion each time the vehicle is started.Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System can replace up to three
hand-held radio-frequency (RF)
transmitters with a single built-in
device. This innovative feature will
learn the radio frequency codes of
most current transmitters to operate
devices such as gate operators,
garage door openers, entry door
locks, security systems, even home
lighting. Both standard and rolling
code-equipped transmitters can be
programmed by following the out-
lined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
®information
can be found at: www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as for
future HomeLink
®programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®buttons be erased for
security purposes.
Before programming
HomeLink®to a garage door
opener or gate operator, make
sure people and objects are out
of the way of the device to pre-
vent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLink
®with
any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and
reverse features required by
U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door
opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage
door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to
stop and reverse - does not
meet current U.S. federal safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features
increases the risk of serious
injury or death.

(security gate motor, etc.) locate the
“Learn,” “Smart,” or “Program” but-
ton. This can usually be found where
the hanging antenna wire is attached
to the motor-head unit (see the

ton). The name and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer. A ladder
and/or second person may simplify
the following steps. 7. Return to the vehicle and firmly
press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLink button up to
three times. Do not press the
HomeLink button rapidly. At this
point programming is complete
and your device should operate

pressed and released.Information
• Some garage door openers require
to press the programmed button on
the mirror up to three times right
after the programming is just com-
pleted to operate the garage door.
• The indicator (4) is turned ON in
Orange and flashes for about 60sec-
onds, during the programing mode
and if a programing is not succeed-
ed within the 60 seconds, the pro-
graming mode will be abort.

Power Windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
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
Window 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 LOCK/OFF position. However, if
the front doors are opened, the
Power Windows cannot be operated
even within the 30 second period.
Information
• In cold and wet climates, power win-
dows may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• While 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 1 inch
(2.5 cm). 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.

detent position (5). Release the win-
dow switch when you want the win-
dow to stop.

rubber will help prevent you
from being burned by hot
metal when the engine is hot.
The stay rod must be inserted
completely into the hole pro-

Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel Requirements"
suggested in the Introduction chapter. Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted sur-
faces may damage the paint.
If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction
of the fuel system or emission
control system.
NOTICE
i
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.Do not use matches or a
lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
