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.

Features of your vehicle28 4If the power window is not operated cor-
rectly, the automatic power window sys-
tem must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion.
2. Close driver’s window and continue
pulling up on driver’s power window
switch for at least 1 second after the
window is completely closed.
Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
the window will detect the resistance and
will stop upward movement. The window
will then lower approximately 11.8 in. (30
cm) to allow the object to be cleared.
If the window detects the resistance
while the power window switch is pulled
up continuously, the window will stop
upward movement then lower approxi-
mately 1 in. (2.5 cm). And if the power
window switch is pulled up continuously
again within 5 seconds after the window
is lowered by the automatic window
reversal feature, the automatic window
reversal will not operate.
✽ ✽
NOTICEThe automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when the
“auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway posi-
tion on the power window switch.
WARNING
Always check for obstructions
before raising any window to avoid
injuries or vehicle damage. If an
object less than 0.16 in. (4 mm) in
diameter is caught between the
window glass and the upper win-
dow channel, the automatic reverse
window may not detect the resist-
ance and will not stop and reverse
direction.
