Safety system of your vehicle
While the vehicle is ON, push either of
the switches to warm the driver's seator front passenger's seat.
During mild weather or under condi-
tions where the operation of the seat
warmer is not needed, keep the
switches in the OFF position. Each time you push the switch, the
temperature setting of the seat is
changed as follows :
When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the seat
warmer operating, the seat warmer
will turn OFF.
The seat warmer defaults to the OFF position whenever the POWER
button is placed to the ON position.
Information
With the seat warmer switch in the
ON position, the heating system in the
seat turns off or on automatically
depending on the seat temperature.
Front air ventilation seat (if equipped)
The air ventilation seats are provided
to cool the front seats by blowing air
through small vent holes on the sur-
face of the seat cushions and seat-
backs.
When the operation of the air ventila-
tion seat is not needed, keep the
switches in the OFF position.
While the vehicle is ON, push the
switch to cool the driver's seat or thefront passenger's seat (if equipped).

Each time you push the switch, theairflow changes as follows:
When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the air v enti-
lation seat operating, the operation
will turn OFF.
The air v entilation seats def aults to
the OFF position whenever the
POWER button is placed to the ONposition. To prevent damage to the air ven-tilation seat:
Use the air ventilation seat ONLY
when the climate control system
is on. Using the air ventilation
seat for prolonged periods of
time with the climate control sys-tem off could cause the air venti-lation seat to malfunction.
Never use a solvent such as paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or gaso-
line to clean the seats.
Avoid spilling liquids on the sur- face of the front seats and seat-
backs; this may cause the air vent
holes to become blocked and not
work properly.
Do not place materials such as plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. They may block the airintake causing the air vents to not
work properly.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not change the seat covers. It
may damage the air ventilation seat.
If the air vents do not operate, restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, we recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.NOTICE

Maintenance
Battery recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
If the battery becomes dischargedin a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
If the battery gradually discharges because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours. Always follow these instructions
when recharging your vehicle’s
battery to avoid the risk of SERI-
OUS INJURY or DEATH from
explosions or acid burns:
Before performing mainte-
nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and place the POWER buttonto the OFF position.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Always work outdoors or in an area with plenty of ventilation.
Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed ina well ventilated area.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin boiling violently.
The negative battery cable
must be removed first and
installed last when the battery
is disconnected. Disconnect
the battery charger in the fol-
lowing order:
(1) Turn off the battery chargermain switch.
(2) Unhook the negative
clamp from the negative
battery terminal.
(3) Unhook the positive clamp from the positive batteryterminal.
Always use a genuine HYUNDAI
approved battery when you
replace the battery.
