Conditions to extend the electrical step:
1) The vehicle is stopped.
2) The shift gear is in N (Neutral).
3) Either the parking brake or the
foot brake is applied.
The electrical step automatically
retracts in from the “extending-out”position, when the conditions 1 and 2are unsatisfied. When the electrical step is extend-
ed out, the accelerator inter-lock
operates to block the vehicle
acceleration for your safety.
NOTICE
Convenient features of your vehicle
Never move the shift lever,
when any passengers exit or
enter the vehicle through the
mid sliding door. In this situa-
tion, shifting the gear out of N(Neutral) causes the electrical
step to abruptly retract and the
passengers to fall from it, caus-
ing the serious body injury.
Always make sure that all pas-
sengers enter or exit the vehi-
cle, before shifting the gear.
WARNING
If you do not use the grab han-
dle and the step, you could
injure yourself when getting in
and out of the vehicle.
To prevent risks:
Draw the passengers' atten-
tion to the electrical step. Wait
until the electrical step is fully
extended.
Do not jump out of the vehi-
cle.
Only use the grab handle and
step. Only they are designed
for such a load.
Keep grab handles, access
steps and entry sills free from
dirt, e.g. mud, clay, snow and
ice.

Operation and obstacle detec- tion
The electrical step (1) is equipped
with a device to detect an obstacle infront.
When the electrical step comes into contact with an obstacle while
extending out, its movement auto-
matically stops with 'short but repeti-
tive' warning alarms.
To fully extend out the electrical step
again, take the following steps. First,
remove the obstacle. Second, closeand then re-open the mid-sliding
door. Finally, repetitively press the
STEP switch to turn OFF and turn
ON the electrical step.
If the electrical step hinders load-
ing, you can block the step when
opening the sliding door by using
the obstruction detection. Thismeans that the electrical step
remains retracted and a fork-lift
truck or another lifting vehicle can
move closer to the load compart-ment.
Electrical step warning alarm
1.Continuous beeping sound You will hear this type of alarm,
whenever the electrical step oper-
ates.
2.Short beeping sound (short & repetitive)
You will hear this type of alarm,
when the parking/foot brakes arereleased.
In this case, apply the parking/foot
brakes for your safety.
3.Long beeping sound (long & repet- itive)
You will hear this type of alarm,
when the operation of the electrical
step temporarily fails due to opera-
tional/electrical problems.
In this case, remove foreign sub-
stances, such as sand, mud, and
ice. Then, re-press the STEP
switch to operate the electrical
step.
However, if the problem persists,
manually push in the electrical step
as a safety measure. Still, we rec-
ommend you to have the electrical
step repaired by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE

Never drive your vehicle, when
the electrical step is extended
out. It may cause an accident,
strike with other vehicles, and
even injure passers-by. Always
drive your vehicle with the elec-
trical step fully retracted in.
WARNING

The emergency measures,
which you may take in case ofthe electrical-step failures.
The step friction surface is con-taminated with the foreign sub-
stances.
The electrical step may not normally
operate, when its friction surface is
contaminated. Repetitively operate
either the step switch or the mid-slid-
ing door 2-to-3 times. When the step
operation completely stops for the
same reason, manually push in the
step and turn OFF the switch.
Remove the foreign substances with
washing equipment at a vehicle
wash (Refer to the regular cleaning
in the chapter 3). Then, turn ON the
step switch, and operate the mid-
sliding door. When the electrical step
does not still normally operate, we
recommend that the electrical step
be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Step does not operate, after being extended out.
Hold the step in position with the R-
clip, as explained below. Then, turn
OFF the switch and visit a near-by
Hyundai dealer for repair services.
When you hear the warning alarm
while driving, you may stop the alarm
by disconnecting the electrical step
fuse located in the fuse box under
the left side of the driver's seat.

After cleaning the step should be
allowed to dry. When dry, a day or
two later perhaps, apply silicons
spray to help lubricate the movement
of the step.
Do not use grease. Avoid use of oil, it
will simply wash away.
If the conditions are particularly bad
daily cleaning may be required.
Failure to clean the step regularly or
to service the steps may result in the
failure of the step in service. This will
not be covered under warranty.
We recommend that mud flaps are
fitted to your vehicle.
