WARNING:
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contribute
to loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires
may cause the tires to overheat and fail. Avoid hard braking and overcorrecting at
the steering wheel. Inflate the tires to the
proper pressure as indicated on the
vehicle’s tire information placard.
If you have a flat tire, the Low tire Pressure
and Position Telltales will illuminate.
Replace the flat tire with the spare tire(see
page 3-12)
Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres-
sure sensor mounted inside the tire be-
hind the valve stems. You must use TPMS
specific wheels. IT is recommended that
you always have tires serviced by your
Hyundai dealer or qualified technician.
After you replace the flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position Telltales remain
illuminated. This is normal; the system is
not monitoring the spare tire pressure.
Check the spare tire pressure to make sure
it is correct.B260T01O-GAT
AWD (All Wheel Drive)

Rain Sensor
When the windshield wiper switch is placed
in the "AUTO" position, the rain sensor
located on the upper end of windshield
glass senses the amount of rainfall and
controls for the appropriate length of the
intervals between wipes appropriately.
If the ignition switch is turned "ON" when
the wiper switch is set in "AUTO" mode, or
the wiper switch is set in "AUTO" mode
when the ignition switch is "ON", or the
speed control knob is turned upward when
the wiper switch is in "AUTO" mode, the
wiper will operate once to perform a self-
check of the system. Set the wiper to the
"OFF" position when the wiper is not in use.NOTE:If there is heavy accumulation of snow or
ice on the windshield glass, there will be
a 10 minute waiting period prior to the
operation of the automatic windshield
wipers system.
WARNING:
When the ignition switch is on and the
windshield wiper switch is placed in the
"AUTO" mode, please use caution to
avoid any hand injury:
The wiper system may automatically
activate. The fingers or hand might be
caught in the wiper.
o Do not touch the upper end of the wind-
shield glass facing the rain sensor.
o Do not wipe the upper end of the wind-
shield glass with a cloth.
o Do not put pressure on the windshield
glass.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS
®) Mirror
The NVS
® Mirror in your vehicle is the most
advanced way to reduce glare in the rear-
view mirror during any driving situation.
For more information regarding NVS
® mir-
rors and other applications, please refer to
the Gentex website:
www.gentex.com.
CAUTION:
Too close the NVS
® Mirror automatically
reduces glare during driving conditions
based upon light levels monitored in front
of the vehicle and from the rear of the
vehicle. These light sensors are visible
through openings in the front and rear of
the mirror case. Any object that would
obstruct either light sensor will degrade
the automatic dimming control feature.
!
Automatic-Dimming Function
Your mirror will automatically dim upon
detecting glare from the vehicles traveling
behind you. The auto-dimming function
can be controlled by the Dimming ON/OFF
Button:
1. Pressing the
button turns the auto-
dimming function OFF which is indi-
cated by the green Status Indicator LED
turning off.
2. Pressing the button again turns the
auto-dimming function ON which is in-
dicated by the green Status Indicator
LED turning on.
NOTE:The mirror defaults to the "ON" position
each time the vehicle is started.Compass Function
The Compass can be turned ON and OFF
and will remember the last state when the
ignition is cycled. To turn the display fea-
ture ON/OFF:
1. Press and release the
button to turn
the display feature OFF.
2. Press and release the button again
to turn the display back ON.
Additional options can be set with press
and hold sequences of the button and
are detailed below.
There is a difference between magnetic
north and true north. The compass in the
mirror can compensate for this difference
when it knows the Magnetic Zone in which
it is operating. This is set either by the
dealer or by the user. The operating Zone
Numbers for North America are shown in
the figure on the following section.
Z-Nav™ Compass DisplayThe NVS™ Mirror in your vehicle is also
equipped with a Z-Nav™ Compass that
shows the vehicle Compass heading in
the Display Window using the 8 basic
cardinal headings (N, NE, E, SE, etc.).

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

!
WARNING:
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contrib-
ute to loss of vehicle control and
increased braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure
tires will cause the tires to overheat
and fail. CAUTION:
In winter or cold weather, the low tire
pressure telltale may be illuminated
if the tire pressure was adjusted to
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure in warm weather. It does not
mean your TPMS is malfunctioning
because the decreased temperature
leads to a proportional lowering of
tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a
cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature significantly
increases or decreases, you should
check the tire inflation pressure and
adjust the tires to the recommended
tire inflation pressure.
!
TPMS (Tire pressure moni-
toring system) malfunction
The TPMS malfunction indicator comes
on and stays on when there is a problem
with the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem. If the Front Left sensor fails, the
TPMS malfunction indicator illuminates,
but if the Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear
Right tire is under-inflated, the low tire
pressure and position telltales may illu-
minate together with the TPMS mal-
function indicator.
Have the system checked by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible to determine the cause of the
problem.
