A070A01A-AATCAUTION: MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR HYUNDAI
Your Hyundai should not be modified in any way. Such modifications may adversely
affect the performance, safety or durability of your Hyundai and may, in addition, violate conditions of the limited
warranties covering the vehicle. Certain modifications may also be in violation of regulations established by the
U.S. Department of Transportation and other federal or state agencies.
A080A01S-AATTWO-WAY RADIO OR CELLULAR TELEPHONE INSTALLATION
Your vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection and other electronic components. It is possible for an
improperly installed/adjusted two-way radio or cellular telephone to adversely affect electronic systems. For this
reason, we recommend that you carefully follow the radio manufacturer's instructions or consult your Hyundai
dealer for precautionary measures or special instructions if you choose to install one of these devices.

Programming
Your vehicle may require that the ignition switch
to be turned to the "ACC" position to program
and/or operate HomeLink system. It is also
recommended that a new battery be placed in
the handheld transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for quicker program-
ming and accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency.
Follow these steps to program your HomeLink
mirror:
1. When programming the buttons for the first
time, press and hold the two outside
HomeLink buttons ( , ), releasing when
the indicator light begins to flash (approxi-
mately 20 seconds). This procedure erases
the factory-set default codes. Do not per-
form this step when programming additional
transmitters.2. Hold the transmitter of the device you want
to program 1 to 3 inches away from the
bottom of the mirror. Simultaneously press
the handheld transmitter button and the
HomeLink button you wish to program. The
indicator light will flash slowly at first, then
rapidly, indicating successful programming.
3. If the garage door opener or other device you
wish to program is rolling-code equipped,
proceed to the "Rolling Code Programming"
section.
4. Repeat step 2 to program the remaining
HomeLink buttons.
Additional Programming for Rolling Code
Devices
For any rolling-code-equipped device; follow
the steps below after completing the "Program-
ming" section. A second person may make the
following steps easier.
1. Locate the "learn" or "smart" button on the
device's motor head unit. The exact location
and color of the button varies by product
brand, but is usually referenced in the device's
owner's manual. Contact HomeLink at 1-
800-355-3515 or www.homelink.com for
help.
2. Press and release the "learn" or "smart"
button on the device's motor head unit.
NOTE:You now have 30 seconds to initiate step 3.
3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and
release the programmed HomeLink button.
Press and release the same HomeLink but-
ton a second time to complete the program-
ming process. (Some devices may require
you to press and release a third time to
complete the programming.)
4. Now HomeLink mirror and rolling-code-
equipped device should be synchronized.
The remaining HomeLink buttons may now
be programmed if this has not been done
previously.

B750A02A-AATSTEREO SOUND SYSTEM
How Car Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from
transmitter towers located around your city.
They are intercepted by the radio antenna on
your car. This signal is then received by the
radio and sent to your car speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached your
vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio
system ensures high quality reproduction.
However, in some cases the signal coming to
your vehicle is not strong and clear. This can be
due to factors such as the distance from the
radio station, closeness of other strong radio
stations or the presence of buildings, bridges or
other large obstructions in the area.AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is because
AM radio waves are transmitted at low fre-
quency. These long, low frequency radio waves
can follow the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In
addition, they curve around obstructions so that
they can provide better signal coverage.FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre-
quency and do not bend to follow the earth's
surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-
erally begin to fade at short distances from the
station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening conditions
which might lead you to believe a problem exists
with your radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio trouble:

!
o Fading - As your car moves away from the
radio station, the signal will weaken and
sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another stronger
station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter and
your radio can disturb the signal causing
static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.o Station Swapping - As a FM signal weakens,
another more powerful signal near the same
frequency may begin to play. This is be-
cause your radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, select another
station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being
received from several directions can cause
distortion or fluttering. This can be caused by
a direct and reflected signal from the same
station, or by signals from two stations with
close frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has passed.
B750B02Y-AATUsing a cellular phone or a two-way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,
noise may be produced from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that something is
wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,
use the cellular phone at a place as far as
possible from the audio equipment.
CAUTION:When using a communication system such
a cellular phone or a radio set inside the
vehicle, a separate external antenna must
be fitted. When a cellular phone or a radio
set is used with an internal antenna alone,
it may interfere with the vehicle's electrical
system and adversely affect safe operation
of the vehicle.
WARNING:Don't use a cellular phone when you are
driving, you must stop at a safe place to use
a cellular phone.
