Automatic stop and reversal
If, 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 ofvehicle 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 thepower tailgate in the open posi-tion for a long lime.

• Conserve the energy of your batteries
by turning the headphones off when
they are not in use. Headphone bat-
teries will typically work for 48 hours,
depending on the volume setting.
• The headphone has an automatic shutoff feature to extend battery life.
The headphones will automatically
turn off after 20 seconds if they don't
detect a signal from the RSE.
• In case of poor headphone reception performance, please check the battery
condition.
The headphones perform best when
used within 2 - 8 feet (0.6-2 m) of the
RSE LCD display. Getting too close or
too far away will cause poor reception.
• Audio from the vehicle's CD/radio cannot be heard through the head-
phones.
Connecting Other Devices to the
RSE
Electronic devices such as video game
systems or VHS players can be played
through the RSE. These external devices
can be connected to the unit via RCA
plugs available in the vehicle.
Press the SOURCE button on the remote
control, or the SRC button on the RSE
control panel, to select and switch to the
external device inputs.
Once the RSE has switched to the exter-
nal device audio and/or video sources,
you can operate the device using its con-
trols. The RSE controls will not control
external devices. For example, to control or play a video
game after the RSE has recognized it as
the source, you must use the game con-
trols, not the RSE controls.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• To prevent noise, devices connected to
the AUX port should have the volume

Full-time AWD vehicles must be tested on a special four wheel chassis
dynamometer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Never engage the parking brake while
performing these tests.
An AWD vehicle should not be tested
on a 2WD drive roll tester. If a 2WD roll
tester must be used, perform the fol-
lowing: 1. Check the tire pressures recommend-
ed for your vehicle.
2. Place the front wheels on the roll tester for a speedometer test as shown
in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the rear wheels on the tempo- rary free roller as shown in the illustra-
tion.
WARNING - Dynamometer
testing
Keep away from the front of the
vehicle while the vehicle is in gear
on the dynamometer. This is very
dangerous as the vehicle can jump
forward and cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING - Jacked vehicle
While a full-time AWD vehicle is
raised on a jack, never start the
engine or cause the tires to rotate.
There is a danger that rotating tires
touching the ground could cause
the vehicle to fall off the jack and to
jump forward or rearward.

WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with tires
designed to provide for safe ride
and handling capability. Do not use
a size and type of tire and wheel
that is different from the one that is
originally installed on your vehicle.
It can affect the safety and perform-
ance of your vehicle, which could
lead to handling failure or rollover
and serious injury. When replacing
the tires, be sure to equip all four
tires with the tire and wheel of the
same size, type, tread, brand and
load-carrying capacity. If you never-
theless decide to equip your vehi-
cle with any tire/wheel combination
not recommended by HYUNDAI for
off road driving, you should not use
these tires for highway driving.

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where you
drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how many
miles (kilometers) you can get from a gal-
lon (liter) of fuel. To operate your vehicle
as economically as possible, use the fol-
lowing driving suggestions to help save
money in both fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder-ate rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts
or full-throttle shifts and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to that of the other traffic so you
don't have to change speeds unneces-
sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever
possible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you can
avoid unnecessary braking. This also
reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive the more fuel your vehicle
uses. Driving at a moderate speed, in
the highest gear appropriate for the
conditions, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption. Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This can
increase fuel consumption and also
increase wear on these components.
In addition, driving with your foot rest-
ing on the brake pedal may cause the
brakes to overheat, which reduces
their effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tire
wear. Check the tire pressures at least
once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper alignment can
result from hitting curbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor align-
ment causes faster tire wear and may
also result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your car
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in section 7. If you drive your
car in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see section 7
for details).
Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your vehicle should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials. It
is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel con-
sumption and also contribute to corro-
sion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight reduces fuel
economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you're ready to go.

Be sure to use the correctfront and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never
use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jack
support.
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack causing serious
injury or death. No person
should place any portion of
their body under a vehicle that
is supported only by a jack;
use vehicle support stands.
Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is on the
jack.
Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.
