Daytime running light
(if equipped)
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, and it is especially
helpful after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will turn OFF when:
1. The parking light switch is ON.
2. Engine stops.
Headlamp leveling device
It is automatically adjusted the head-
lamp beam level according to the
number of the passengers and the
loading weight in the luggage area.
And it offers the proper headlamp
beam under the various conditions.
Headlamp washer
If your vehicle is equipped with the
headlamp washer it will be operating
at the same time when you operate
the windshield washer. It will operate
when the headlamp switch is in the
first or second position and the
engine start/stop button is in the ON
position.
The washer fluid will be sprayed on
to the headlamps.
✽NOTICE
• Check the headlamp washers peri-
odically to confirm that the wash-
er fluid is being sprayed properly
onto the headlamp lenses.
• The headlamp washer can be
operated 15 minutes after being
operated last time.
WARNING
If it does not work properly even
though your car is inclined
backward according to passen-
ger's posture, or the headlamp
beam is irradiated to the high or
low position, we recommend
that the system be inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not attempt to inspect or
replace the wiring yourself.
