How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then processed by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear.

Do not place beverages close tothe audio system. Spilling bever-
ages may lead to system mal-function.
In case of product malfunction, please contact your place of
purchase or After Service cen-
ter.
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. Information-
Using the USB device
To use an external USB device, make sure the device is not connect-
ed when starting up the vehicle.
Connect the device after starting up.
If you connect any external device while driving, it may lose the vehicle
control and increase the accident
risk. Park the vehicle before con-
necting any external devices.
Park the vehicle on a safe location before connecting any external USB
device.
If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may
damage the USB device. (USB flash-
drives are very sensitive to electric
shock.)
If the engine is started up or turned off while the external USB device is
connected, the external USB device
may not work.
The System may not play inauthen- tic MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate between
8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
(Continued)(Continued)
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression rate
between 8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
Take precautions for static electrici- ty when connecting or disconnecting
the external USB device.
An encrypted MP3 PLAYER is not recognizable.
Depending on the condition of the external USB device, the connected
external USB device can be unrec-
ognizable.
When the formatted byte/sector set- ting of External USB device is not
either 512BYTE or 2048BYTE, then
the device will not be recognized.
Use only a USB device formatted to FAT 12/16/32.
USB devices without USB I/F authentication may not be recogniz-
able.
Make sure the USB connection ter- minal does not come in contact with
the human body or other objects.

Driving your vehicle
ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle,
open the windows immediately.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death by
asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose.
If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of
the vehicle, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Never run the
engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the vehicle out.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in
an open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn
into the interior.
If you must drive with the tailgate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher
speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the
windshield are kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks.
Be sure there are no obstacles behind you if you intend to back up.
Necessary inspections
Fluid levels, such as engine oil,
engine coolant, power steering fluid,
brake fluid, and washer fluid should
be checked on a regular basis, with
the exact interval depending on the
fluid. Further details are provided in
Section 7, “Maintenance”.
Before starting
Close and lock all doors.
Position the seat so that all con-trols are easily reached.

Driving while distracted can
result in a loss of vehicle con-
trol, that may lead to an acci-
dent, severe personal injury,
and death. The driver’s primary
responsibility is in the safe and
legal operation of a vehicle, and
use of any handheld devices,
other equipment, or vehicle sys-
tems which take the driver’s
eyes, attention and focus away
from the safe operation of a
vehicle or which are not permis-
sible by law should never beused during operation of the

wheel rapidly, loose objects
may drop on the floor and it
could interfere with the opera-
tion of the foot pedals, possi-
bly causing an accident. Keep
all things in the vehicle safelystored.
