Auto defogging system (if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the probabil-
ity of the dew condensation on the
inside of the windshield by automati-
cally sensing the moisture.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or the A/C is ON.
This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses the mois-
ture on the inside of the
windshield and operates.
If it is humid inside the vehicle, the
automated steps operate as follows:
If auto defogging system does not
defog the window in the step 1 (fresh
air intake mode), the steps 2 and 3
will be followed.
Step 1 : (fresh) air intake mode
Step 2 : Operating the A/C
Step 3 : Blowing air toward the wind- shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield The auto defogging system automat-
ically activates in certain conditions.
However, if you want to turn OFF the
auto defogging system, press the
front defroster button 4 times within 2
seconds while pressing the AUTO
button. The front defroster indicator
will flash 3 times to notify the system
cancellation. To restart the auto
defogging system, follow the proce-
dures mentioned above.
If the battery is disconnected or dis-
charged, it resets to the auto defog-
ging status.Information
When the A/C is turned ON and the
(fresh) air intake mode is selected by
the auto defogging system, and when
you try to turn OFF the A/C and select
the air recirculation mode, the indica-
tor will just flash 3 times, the A/C will
not be turned OFF, and the air recir-
culation mode will not be selected.
Do not remove the sensor cover
on the upper end of the driver's
side windshield. Damage to sys-
tem parts could occur and may

Maintenance
Keep the battery away from water or any other liquid.
The battery is located in the trunk. Thus, be careful when
loading a container filled with
liquid inside the trunk.
For your safety, use only the genuine HYUNDAI battery, when
replacing it.
Reset items
Items should be reset after either a
battery discharge or a battery dis-
connection.

Tire care
For the better maintenance, safety,
and fuel economy, you must always
maintain the recommended tire infla-
tion pressures, and follow the load
limits and weight distribution recom-
mendation.
Recommended cold tire infla-
tion pressures
The tire pressure (including the
spare) should be measured, when it
is cold. A “cold tire” means the vehi-
cle does not drive for the last 3 hours
or is driven shorter than 1 mile (1.6
km).
The recommended pressure must be
maintained for the best driving, han-
dling, and the minimum tire wear-out.
For the information about the recom-
mended inflation pressure, refer to
“Tire and wheels” in the chapter 8.
All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) are specified on the label
attached to the central pillar of the
driver's door.

circuit, such as a cigarette lighter fuse,
which may not be needed to drive. When the headlamps or other electri-
cal components do not operate, but
