D070401AENAutomatic stop and reversalIf, during power opening or closing, the
tailgate is blocked by an object or part of
the body, the power tailgate will detect
the resistance, then the chime will sound
3 times, and it will stop movement or
move to the full open position to allow the
object to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak such
as from an object that is thin or soft, or
the tailgate is near the latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may not
detect the resistance and the closing
operation will continue. Also, if the power
tailgate is forced by a strong impact, the
automatic stop and reversal may oper-
ate.If the automatic stop and reversal feature
operates continuously more than twice
during one opening or closing operation,
the power tailgate may stop at that posi-
tion. At this time, close the tailgate man-
ually and operate the tailgate automati-
cally again.
OEN036049
WARNING
 Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in the
path of the power tailgate to
make sure the automatic stop
operates.
 Make sure all faces, arms, hands,
body parts and any other obstruc-
tions are safely out of the way
before operating the power tail-
gate.
 Never place any object or part of
your body in the path of the
power tailgate. This could result
in serious injury or cause dam-
age to the vehicle.
 Make sure there are no people or
objects around the tailgate before
operating the power tailgate.
Have rear passengers or cargo
get in or out of the vehicle only
after the tailgate is open fully and
stopped.
CAUTION
 The power tailgate can be operat-
ed when the engine is not run-
ning. However the power opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being dis-
charged, do not operate it exces-
sively e.g.: more than approxi-
mately 10 times repeatedly.
 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the
power tailgate in the open posi-
tion for a long lime.
 Do not apply excessive force
while operating the power tail-
gate. This could cause damage to
the power tailgate.
 Do not modify or repair any part
of the power tailgate by yourself.
This must be done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
 When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle,
do not operate the power tailgate.
This could cause the power tail-
gate to operate improperly.

WARNING
- Refueling
 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.
 Do not "top off" after the nozzle
automatically shuts off when
refueling.
 Tighten the cap until it clicks, oth-
erwise the Check Engine light
will illuminate.
 Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an acci-
dent.

(Continued)
Use only approved portable plas-
tic fuel containers designed to
carry and store gasoline.
 Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cel-
lular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
 When refueling, always shut the
engine off. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to
the engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling is
complete, check to make sure the
filler cap and filler door are
securely closed, before starting
the engine.
 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. Automotive fuel is
highly flammable and can, when
ignited, result in fire.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fab-
ric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static elec-
tricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source.
 When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sure to
place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicle
should be maintained until the
filling is complete.

WARNING -
Refueling dan-
gers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines care-
fully. Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
 Read and follow all warning at the
gas station facility.
 Before refueling note the location
of the Emergency Gasoline Shut-
Off, if available, at the gas station
facility.
 Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching another metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.

Features of your vehicle40 4D130100AENPower steeringPower steering uses energy from the
engine to assist you in steering the vehi-
cle. If the engine is off or if the power
steering system becomes inoperative,
the vehicle may still be steered, but it will
require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steer-
ing checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICEIf the power steering drive belt breaks
or if the power steering pump malfunc-
tions, the steering effort will greatly
increase.✽ ✽
NOTICEIf the vehicle is parked for extended
periods outside in cold weather (below -
14°F/10°C), the power steering may
require increased effort when the engine
is first started. This is caused by
increased fluid viscosity due to the cold
weather and does not indicate a mal-
function.
When this happens, increase the engine
RPM by depressing accelerator until the
RPM reaches 1,500 rpm then release or
let the engine idle for two or three min-
utes to warm up the fluid.
D130300AENTilt steering Tilt steering allows you to adjust the
steering wheel before you drive. You can
also raise it to give your legs more room
when you exit and enter the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be positioned
so that it is comfortable for you to drive,
while permitting you to see the instru-
ment panel warning lights and gauges.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
Never hold the steering wheel
against a stop (extreme right or left
turn) for more than 5 seconds with
the engine running. Holding the
steering wheel for more than 5 sec-
onds in either position may cause
damage to the power steering
pump.
WARNING
 Never adjust the angle of the
steering wheel while driving. You
may lose steering control and
cause severe personal injury,
death or accidents.
 After adjusting, push the steering
wheel both up and down to be
certain it is locked in position.
