Malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) (check engine light)
This indicator light is part of the Engine
Control System which monitors various
emission control system components. If
this light illuminates whilst driving, it indi-
cates that a potential problem has been
detected somewhere in the emissioncontrol system. This light will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, and will go out in a few seconds
after the engine is started. If it illuminates
whilst driving, or does not illuminate
when the ignition key is turned to the ON
position, we recommend that the system
be checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Generally, your vehicle will continue to be
drivable, but we recommend that the sys-
tem be checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
(if equipped with DPF)
When the malfunction indicator light is blinks, it may stop blinking
after driving the vehicle at more than 60km/h (37 mph) or at morethan second gear with 1500 ~ 2000engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
If the malfunction indicator lightcontinues to blink in spite of the procedure, we recommend that the
system be checked by an autho- rised HYUNDAI dealer.
If you continue to drive with themalfunction indicator light blinking
for a long time, the DPF system canbe damaged and fuel consumption can be worsen.
CAUTION
Prolonged driving with the EmissionControl System Malfunction
Indicator Light illuminated maycause damage to the emission con- trol systems which could effect dri-vability and/or fuel economy.
CAUTION - Petrol engine
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light illumi-
nates, potential catalytic converter damage is possible which couldresult in loss of engine power. Werecommend that the system be
inspected by an authorisedHYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION - Diesel engine
If the Emission Control SystemMalfunction Indicator Light blinks,
some error related to the injection quantity adjustment occurs whichcould result in loss of engine power, combustion noise and poor
emission. We recommend that thesystem be inspected by an autho-rised HYUNDAI dealer.

Features of your vehicle
The rear parking assist system assists
the driver during backward movement of
the vehicle by chiming if any object issensed within a distance of 120 cm (47
in.) behind the vehicle. This system is asupplemental system and it is not intend-
ed to nor does it replace the need for
extreme care and attention by the driver.
The sensing range and objects
detectable by the back sensors are limit-
ed. Whenever reversing, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without a rear parkingassist system.Operation of the rear parking assist system
Operating condition
 This system will activate when the indi-
cator on the rear parking assist OFF
button is not illuminated. If you desire
to deactivate the rear parking assist
system, press the rear parking assist
OFF button again. (The indicator on
the button will illuminate.) (if equipped)
 This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch in the ON
position. If the vehicle is moving at a
speed over 10 km/h (6 mph), the sys-
tem may not be activated correctly.
 The sensing distance whilst the rear parking assist system is in operation is
approximately 120 cm (47 in.).
REAR PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The rear parking assist system is a
supplementary function only. Theoperation of the rear parking assist
system can be affected by several

Non-operational conditions of rear parking assist system
The rear parking assist system may
not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally when the moisture has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or the
sensor cover is blocked. (It will operate
normally when the material is removed
or the sensor is no longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces such as unpaved roads, gravel, bumps, or
gradients.
4. Objects generating excessive noise such as vehicle horns, loud motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes may be
interfering with the sensor.
5. There is heavy rain or water spray.
6. There are wireless transmitters or mobile phones present near the sen-
sor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing.
9. The place light the fluorescent lamp.
