Automatic reversal
ODH043039
If the power sunshade or sunroof glass
senses any obstacle while it is closing
automatically, it will reverse direction
then stop at a certain position.
The auto reverse function may not
work if an object thin or soft is caught
between the sliding power sunshade or
sunroof glass and sunroof sash.
WARNING
• Make sure heads, hands, arms or
any other body parts or objects are
out of the way before operating the
sunroof. Body parts or objects may
get caught causing injuries or vehicle
damage.
• Never deliberately use your body
parts to test the automatic reversal
function. The power sunshade or
sunroof glass may reverse direction,
but there is a risk of injury.
NOTICE
• Do not continue to push the sunroof
switch after the sunroof is fully
opened, closed, or tilted. Damage to
the sunroof motor could occur.
• Continuous operations such as slide
open/close, tilt open/close, etc. may
cause the motor or sunroof system to
malfunction.
• Regularly remove any accumulated
dust on the sunroof rail.
• Using the sunroof for a long time
can make noise caused by dust in
accumulated between the sunroof
and vehicle body. Open the sunroof
and remove dust regularly using a
clean cloth.
• Do not try to open the sunroof when
the temperature is below freezing
or when the sunroof is covered with
snow or ice, otherwise the motor
could be damaged. In cold and wet
climates, the sunroof may not work
properly.
• Do not open or drive with the sunroof
glass open immediately after rain or
washing the vehicle. Water may wet
the interior of the vehicle.
• Do not extend any luggage outside
the sunroof while driving. Vehicle
damage may occur if the vehicle
suddenly stops.
WARNING
Do not extend your head, arms, body

Closing the liftgate
ONX4E050057R
Lower the liftgate lid and press down
until it locks. To be sure the liftgate lid is
securely fastened, always check by trying
to pull it up again without pressing the
liftgate handle button.
WARNING
Always keep the liftgate completely
closed while the vehicle is in motion. If
it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust
gases containing carbon monoxide
(CO) may enter the vehicle and serious
illness or death may result.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the liftgate
support struts and the attached
hardware, always close the liftgate
before driving.
Information
In cold and wet climates, liftgate lock
and liftgate mechanisms may not work
properly due to freezing conditions.
WARNING
ONX4E050058R
Do not grab or hold on to the liftgate
support struts at any time. Damage to
the liftgate support struts could result.
Deformation of the liftgate support
struts may cause vehicle damage and
personal injury may occur.
WARNING
• NEVER allow anyone to occupy the
luggage compartment of the vehicle
at any time. If the liftgate is partially
or totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, serious injury
or death could occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes and
rapid heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather conditions.
The luggage compartment is also
a highly dangerous location in the
event of a crash because it is not a
protected occupant space but is a
part of the vehicle’s crush zone.
• Your vehicle should be kept locked
and keys should be kept out of
the reach of children. Parents
should teach their children about
the dangers of playing in luggage
compartments.

Automatic reverse
ONX4E050030
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 the resistance is detected while
opening the liftgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
• If the resistance is detected while
closing the liftgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
However, if the resistance is weak such
as from an object that is thin or soft, or
the liftgate is near the latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may not
detect the resistance. If the automatic
reversal feature operates continuously
more than twice during opening or
closing operation, the power liftgate may
stop at that position. At this time, close
the liftgate manually and operate the
liftgate automatically again.
WARNING
Never intentionally place any object
or part of your body in the path of
the power liftgate to make sure the
automatic reverse function operates.
NOTICE
Do not put heavy objects on the power
liftgate before you operate the power
liftgate. Additional weight may damage
the operation of the system.
Non-operating conditions of the
power liftgate
• The power liftgate does not open
when the vehicle is in motion.
The chime will sound if you drive
over 2mph (3km/h) with the
liftgate opened. Stop your vehicle
immediately at a safe place and check
if your liftgate is opened.
• Operating the power liftgate more
than 5 times continuously could
cause damage to the operating motor.
If this occurs, the power liftgate
system enters into thermal protection
mode to prevent 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 not operate.
Allow the power liftgate system
to cool for about 1 minute before
operating the system again.
• The power liftgate can be operated
when the engine is not running.
However the power liftgate operation
consumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the battery
from being discharged, do not
operate it excessively e.g.: more than
approximately 10 times repeatedly.
• To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the power
liftgate in the open position for a long
lime.
• When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle, 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 conditions.

Information
Using the system in the fresh air position is
recommended.
Prolonged operation of the heater in the
recirculated air position (without air
conditioning selected) can cause fogging of
the windshield and side windows and the
air within the passenger compartment will
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in excessively
dry air in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
• Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside the vehicle which
may fog the glass and obscure
visibility.
• Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air
conditioning or heating system on. It
may cause serious harm or death due
to a drop in the oxygen level and/or
body temperature.
• Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air
position can cause drowsiness
or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake control
to the outside (fresh) air position as
much as possible while driving.

System maintenance
Cabin air filter
OIK047401L[A] : Outside air, [B] : Recirculated air
[C] : Cabin air filter, [D] : Blower
[E] : Evaporator core, [F] : Heater core
The cabin air filter is installed behind
the glove box. It filters the dust or other
pollutants that enter the vehicle through
the heating and air conditioning system.
We recommend that the cabin air filter
be replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule.
If the vehicle is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty or rough roads,
more frequent climate control filter
inspections and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
we recommend the system be checked
at an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Air Conditioning Performance and
Maintenance at Your HYUNDAI
Dealer
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning
is reduced. Overfilling also reduces the
performance of the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is found, we
recommend that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, damage to the compressor
and abnormal system operation may
occur. To prevent damage, the air
conditioning system in your vehicle
should only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf
Since the refrigerant is
mildly flammable and
operated at high pressure,
the air conditioning system
should only be serviced
by trained and certified
technicians. It is important
that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant
are used.
All refrigerants should be reclaimed
with proper equipment.
Venting refrigerants directly to the
atmosphere is harmful to individuals
and environment. Failure to heed these
warnings can lead to serious injuries.
