AFLS (Adaptive Front LightingSystem) a.k.a. DBL (DynamicBending Light) (if equipped)
Adaptive front lighting system uses the
steering angle and vehicle speed, to
keep your field of vision wide by swiveling
and leveling the headlamp.
Change the switch to the AUTO position
when the engine is running. The adaptive
front lighting system will operate when
the headlamp is ON. To turn off the
AFLS, change the switch to other posi-
tions. After turning the AFLS off, head-
lamp swiveling no longer occurs, but lev-
eling operates continuously.
If the AFLS malfunction indicator comes
on, the AFLS is not working properly. Drive to the nearest safe location and
restart the engine. If the indicator contin-
uously remains on, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Interior Lights
Do not use the interior lights for
extended periods when the engine is
turned off or the battery will dis-
charge.
Interior lamp AUTO cut
The interior lamps will automatically go
off approximately 20 minutes after the
engine is turned off and the doors
closed. If a door is opened, the lamp will
go off 40 minutes after the engine is
turned off. If the doors are locked by the
remote key or smart key and the vehicle
enters the armed stage of the theft alarm
system, the lamps will go off five seconds
later.
NOTICE
OAD045436N
Do not use the interior lights when
driving in the dark. The interior
lights may obscure your view and
cause an accident.

To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
To prevent possible damage to the wipers or windshield, do not oper-
ate the wipers when the windshield
is dry.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manual-
ly.
To prevent possible damage to the wipers and washer system, use anti-
freezing washer fluids in the winter
season or cold weather.
Rear View Camera
The Rear View Camera will activate
when the engine is running and the shift
lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
This is a supplemental system that pro-
vides a view of the area behind the vehi-
cle through the A/V display while the
vehicle is in the R (Reverse) position. Always keep the camera lens clean.
The camera may not work normally if
the lens is covered with dirt or snow.
NOTICE
NOTICE
When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warm the
windshield using the defroster to
prevent the washer fluid from freez-
ing on the windshield and obscur-
ing your vision which could result
in an accident and serious injury or
death.
WARNING
The Rear View Camera is not a safe-
ty device. It only serves to assist
the driver in identifying objects
directly behind the middle of the
vehicle. The camera does NOT
cover the complete area behind the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never rely solely on the Rear
View Camera when backing-up.
ALWAYS look around your vehi-
cle to make sure there are no
objects or obstacles before mov-
ing the vehicle in any direction to
prevent a collision.
Always pay close attention when
the vehicle is driven close to
objects, particularly pedestrians,
and especially children.

ment will be drawn through
the heating system and
heated or cooled according
to the function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
With the outside (fresh) airposition selected, air
enters the vehicle from out-
side and is heated or

Continued use of the climate con-
trol system operation in the recir-
culated air position can cause
drowsiness or sleepiness, that
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. Set the
air intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as
possible while driving.
Continued use of the climate con-
trol system operation in the recir-
culated air position (without the
air conditioning selected) may
allow humidity to increase inside
the vehicle which may fog the
glass and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with the
air conditioning or heating sys-
tem on. It may cause serious
injury or death due to a drop in
the oxygen level and/or body
temperature.

System Maintenance
Climate control air filter
This filter is installed behind the glove
box. It filters the dust or other pollutants
that enter the vehicle through the heating
and air conditioning system.
Have the climate control air filter
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer according to the maintenance
schedule. If the car is being driven in
severe conditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent air conditioner filter
inspections and changes are required.
If the air flow rate suddenly decreases,
the system should be checked at an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Checking the amount of air conditioner refrigerant andcompressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a negative
influence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
It is important that the correct type
and amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, damage to the com-
pressor and abnormal system opera-
tion may occur. The air conditioning system should be
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Air Conditioning refrigerantlabel
The actual Air Conditioning refrigerant
label in the vehicle may differ from the
illustration.
Each symbols and specification on air
conditioning refrigerant label means as
below :
1. Classification of refrigerant
2. Amount of refrigerant
3. Classification of Compressor lubricant
Refer to chapter 8 for more detail location
of the air conditioning refrigerant label. For maximum defrosting, set the tem-
perature control to the extreme
right/hot position and the fan speed
control to the highest speed.
If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set the mode
to the floor-defrost position.
Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear window, side
view mirrors, and all side windows.
Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to improve
heater and defroster efficiency and to
reduce the probability of fogging up the
inside of the windshield.
If the engine temperature is still cold
after starting, then a brief engine
warm up period may be required for
the vented air flow to become warm or
hot.NOTICE

Windshield heating
Do not use the or position
during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The dif-
ference between the temperature of
the outside air and that of the wind-
shield could cause the outer sur-
face of the windshield to fog up,
causing loss of visibility could
cause an accident resulting in seri-
ous injury or death. In this case, set
the mode selection knob or button
to the position and fan speed
control knob or button to a lower
speed.

Never store cigarette lighters,
propane cylinders, or other flamma-
ble/explosive materials in the vehi-
cle. These items may catch fire
and/or explode if the vehicle is
exposed to hot temperatures for
extended periods.
WARNING
ALWAYS keep the storage compart-
ment covers closed securely while
driving. Items inside your vehicle
are moving as fast as the vehicle. If
you have to stop or turn quickly, or
if there is a crash, the items may fly
out of the compartment and may
cause an injury if they strike the
driver or a passenger.
