will blink continuously if any of the
following occurs:
- A door is opened without using the
remote key or smart key.

STEERING WHEEL
Electric power steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the engine is off or if
the power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Also, the steering effort becomes
heavier as the vehicle’s speed
increases and becomes lighter as
the vehicle’s speed decreases for
better control of the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.If the EPS System does not oper-
ate normally, the warning light
( ) will illuminate on the instru-
ment cluster. The steering wheel
may become difficult to control or
operate. Take your vehicle to an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked as soon
as possible.
Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch or the Engine Start/Stop
button in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is completed,
the steering wheel will return to its
normal condition.
(Continued)(Continued)
• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is
placed to the ON or LOCK/OFF
position (Without Smart key system).
A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the Engine Start/Stop
button is in the ON or OFF position.
(With Smart key system)
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is stationary or driving slow-
ly.
• When you operate the steering
wheel when the temperature is low,
abnormal noise may occur. If the
temperature rises, the noise will dis-
appear. This is a normal condition.
• When the vehicle is stationary, if
you turn the steering wheel all the
way to the left or right continuously,
the steering wheel effort increases.
This is not a system malfunction. As
time passes, the steering wheel
effort will return to its normal con-
dition.

Inside rearview mirror
Before you start driving, adjust the
rearview mirror to the centre on the
view through the rear window.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.
Day/night rearview mirror
Make this adjustment before you
start driving and whilst the day/night
lever is in the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlamps of
the vehicles behind you during night
driving.
Remember that you lose some
rearview clarity in the night position.
NOTICEMake sure your line of sight is
not obstructed. Do not place
objects in the rear seat, cargo
area, or behind the rear head-
rests which could interfere with
your vision through the rear
window.

an accident or deployment of
the air bag, do not modify the
rearview mirror and do not
install a wide mirror.

The ignition switch must be in the ON
position to be able to raise or lower
the windows. Each door has a power
window switch to control that door's
window. The driver has a power win-
dow lock switch which can block the
operation of passenger windows.
The power windows will operate for
approximately 30 seconds after the
ignition switch is placed in the ACC
or OFF position. However, if the front
doors are opened, the power win-
dows cannot be operated even with-
in the 30 second period.Information
• In cold and wet climates, power win-
dows may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• Whilst driving with the rear win-
dows down or with the sunroof (if
equipped) opened (or partially
opened), your vehicle may demon-
strate a wind buffeting or pulsation
noise. This noise is normal and can
be reduced or eliminated by taking
the following actions. If the noise
occurs with one or both of the rear
windows down, partially lower both
front windows approximately one
inch. If you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly close
the sunroof.

first detent position (5). Release the
switch when you want the window to
stop.

detent position (5). Release the win-
dow switch when you want the win-
dow to stop.
