Automatic reversal
If an object or part of the body is
detected while the sunroof glass or
sunshade is closing automatically, it
will reverse the direction, and then
stop.
The auto reverse function does not
work if a tiny obstacle is between the
sliding glass or sunshade and the
sunroof sash. You should always
check that all passengers and
objects are away from the sunroof
before closing it.
•Periodically remove any dirt that
may accumulate on the sunroof
guide rail or between the sun-
roof and roof panel, which can
make a noise.
•Do not try to open the sunroof
when the temperature is below
freezing or when the sunroof is
covered with snow or ice, the
motor could be damaged. In
cold and wet climates, the sun-
roof may not work properly.
Information
After the vehicle is washed or in a
rainstorm, be sure to wipe off any
water that is on the sunroof before
operating it.
i
NOTICE
•Make sure heads, other body
parts or other objects are safe-
ly out of the way before closing
the sunroof to avoid injuries or
vehicle damage.
•To a vo i d s e r i o u s i n j u r y o r
death, do not extend your
head, arms or body outside
the sunroof while driving.
•A panorama sunroof is made
of glass, therefore it may break
in an accident. If you do not
have your seat belt on, you
may stick out of the broken
glass and get injured or killed.
For all passengers safety, have
an appropriate protection on
(ex. seat belt, child restraint
system, etc.).

with foreign material, such as snow
or water, or the sensor cover is
blocked.
There is a possibility of a parking
assist system malfunction when:
•Driving on uneven road surfaces
such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.
•Objects generating excessive noise
such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.

Air conditioning
HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systems
are filled with R-134a refrigerant.
1. Start the engine. Push the air con-
ditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the out-
side air or recirculated air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and
temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
Information
• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine
overheating. Continue to use the
blower fan but turn the air condi-
tioning system off if the temperature
gauge indicates engine overheating.
•When opening the windows in
humid weather air conditioning
may create water droplets inside the
vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to elec-
trical equipment, air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
Air conditioning system operation
tips
•If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
•To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system.
•During air conditioning system
operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
•Use the air conditioning system
ever y month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
•When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristic.

provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.
•During cooling operation, you may
occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.

•Do not stare at the screen while
driving. Staring at the screen
for prolonged periods of time
could lead to traffic accidents.
•Do not disassemble, assemble,
or modify the audio system.
Such acts could result in acci-
dents, fire, or electric shock.
•Using the phone while driving
may lead to a lack of attention
of traffic conditions and
increase the likelihood of acci-
dents. Use the phone feature
after parking the vehicle.
•Heed caution not to spill water
or introduce foreign objects
into the device. Such acts
could lead to smoke, fire, or
product malfunction.
WARNING
Operating the device while driving
could lead to accidents due to a
lack of attention to external sur-
roundings. First park the vehicle
before operating the device.
•Adjust the volume to levels that
allow the driver to hear sounds
from outside of the vehicle.
Driving in a state where external
sounds cannot be heard may lead
to accidents.
•Pay attention to the volume set-
ting when turning the device on.
A sudden output of extreme vol-
ume upon turning the device on
could lead to hearing impairment.
(Adjust the volume to a suitable
levels before turning off the
device.)

•Do not place beverages close to
the audio system. Spilling bever-
ages may lead to system mal-
function.
•In case of product malfunction,
please contact your place of pur-
chase or After Service center.
•Placing the audio system within
an electromagnetic environment
may result in noise interference.
•Prevent caustic solutions such
as perfume and cosmetic oil
from contacting the dashboard
because they may cause dam-
age or discoloration.

Driving your vehicle
Power brakes
Yo u r v e h i c l e h a s p o w e r - a s s i s t e d
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the engine is not running or is
turned off while driving, the power
assist for the brakes will not work.
Yo u c a n s t i l l s t o p y o u r v e h i c l e b y
applying greater force to the brake
pedal than typical. The stopping dis-
tance, however, will be longer than
with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.
BRAKING SYSTEM
Take the following precautions:
•Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-
sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
•When descending a long or
steep hill, shift to a lower gear
and avoid continuous applica-
tion of the brakes. Applying
the brakes continuously will
cause the brakes to overheat
and could result in a tempo-
rary loss of braking perform-
ance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle’s ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes while maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.
