Convenient features of your vehicle
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 time.
Do not modify or repair any part
of the power liftgate by yourself.
This must be done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
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.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power liftgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
liftgate will detect the resistance.
If resistance is detected while open-
ing or closing the power liftgate, the
liftgate will stop and move in the
opposite direction.However, in some instances the
automatic reversal system may not
detect the object if it is too soft or is
very thin, or if the liftgate is almost
fully closed near the latched position.
Caution should be taken to prevent
any objects from obstructing the lift-
gate opeining.
If the automatic reversal feature
operates more than 2 times while
attempting to open or close the lift-
gate, the power liftgate may stop at
that position. If this occurs, carefully
close the liftgate manually, and then
try to operate the power liftgate auto-
matically again.
NOTICE
OTLE048042
Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in
the path of the power liftgate to
make sure the automatic rever-
sal operates.

Changing Tires
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a
jack causing serious injury or
death to you or those nearby.
Take the following safety pre-
cautions:

your body under a vehicle that
is supported by a jack.
NEVER attempt to change a
tire in the lane of traffic.

a tire. If you cannot find a
level, firm place off the road,
call a towing service for assis-
tance.
Be sure to use the jack pro-
vided with the vehicle.

the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jacking sup-
port.
Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on the
