Child-Protector Rear Door
locks
The child safety lock is provided to help
prevent children seated in the rear from
accidentally opening the rear doors. The
rear door safety locks should be used
whenever children are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock is located on the
edge of each rear door. When the child
safety lock is in the lock position, the rear
door will not open if the inner door han-
dle is pulled.
To lock the child safety lock, insert a
screwdriver (1) into the hole and turn it to
the lock position.
To allow a rear door to be opened from
inside the vehicle, unlock the child safety
lock. This system helps to protect your vehicle
and valuables. The horn will sound and
the hazard warning lights will blink con-
tinuously if any of the following occurs:
- A door is opened without using the
remote key or smart key.
- The trunk is opened without using the remote key or smart key.
- The engine hood is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds,
then the system resets. To turn off the
alarm, unlock the doors with the remote
key or smart key.
The Theft Alarm System automatically
sets 30 seconds after you lock the doors
and the trunk. For the system to activate,
you must lock the doors and the trunk
from outside the vehicle with the remote
key or smart key or by pressing the but-
ton on the outside of the door handles
with the smart key in your possession.
The hazard warning lights will blink and
the chime will sound once to indicate the
system is armed.
If children accidently open the rear
doors while the vehicle is in
motion, they could fall out of the
vehicle. The rear door safety locks
should always be used whenever
children are in the vehicle.

Convenient features of your vehicle
Once the security system is set, opening
any door, the trunk, or the hood without
using the remote key or smart key will
cause the alarm to activate.
The Theft Alarm System will not set if the
hood, the trunk, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set, check
the hood, the trunk, or the doors are fully
closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or add
other devices to it.
Information
• Do not lock the doors until all passen-gers have left the vehicle. If the remain-
ing passenger leaves the vehicle when
the system is armed, the alarm will be
activated.
• If the vehicle is not disarmed with the remote key or smart key, open the doors
by using the mechanical key and place
the ignition switch in the ON position
(for remote key) or start the engine (for
smart key) by directly pressing the igni-
tion switch with the smart key.
• When the system is disarmed but a door or trunk is not opened within 30 sec-
onds, the system will be rearmed. The Driver Position Memory System is
provided to store and recall the following
memory settings with a simple button
operation.
- Driver's seat position
- Side view mirror position
- Instrument panel illumination intensity
If the battery is disconnected, the posi-
tion memory will be lost and the driving
positions must be stored in the system
again.
If the Driver Position Memory System
does not operate normally, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate normally,
the warning light ( ) will illumi-
nate on the instrument cluster. You
may steer the vehicle, but it will
require increased steering efforts.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Easy Access Function
When exiting the vehicle the driver’s seat
will move rearward when the engine is
turned off and the shift lever in P (Park).
When entering the vehicle the driver’s
seat will move forward when the ignition
switch is placed to the ACC position.
You can activate or deactivate the Easy
Access Function from the User Settings
Mode on the LCD display.
For more information, refer to the
"LCD Display" section in this chapter.
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering the
vehicle. If the engine is turned off or if the
power steering system becomes inoper-
ative, you may still steer the vehicle, but
it will require increased steering effort.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
The following symptoms may occur dur-
ing normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high immedi-
ately after placing the ignition switch in
the ON position.
This happens as the system performs the
EPS system diagnostics. When the diag-
nostics is completed, the steering wheel
will return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is in
the ON or OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
• When you operate the steering wheel in low temperature, abnormal noise may
occur. If temperature rises, the noise will
disappear. This is a normal condition.
• When an error is detected from the EPS, the warning light will illuminate on the
instrument cluster and the steering
efforts may be increased. When the fol-
lowing symptoms occur, immediately
drive the vehicle to a safe area and
check it.

when two gears are not engaged correctly.
In this case, adjust the steering wheel
again and then lock the steering wheel.

To sound the horn, press the area indi-
cated by the horn symbol on your steer-
ing wheel (see illustration). The horn will

Inside Rearview Mirror
Before you start driving, adjust the
rearview mirror to the center 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
(if equipped)
Make this adjustment before you start
driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of the

If you need to recalibrate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button for morethan 9 seconds. When the compass
memory is cleared a "C" will appear in
the display.
2. Drive the vehicle in 2 complete circles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System can replace up to three hand-
held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters
with a single built-in device. This innova-
tive feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to
operate devices such as gate operators,
garage door openers, entry door locks,
security systems, even home lighting.
Both standard and rolling code-equipped
transmitters can be programmed by fol-
lowing the outlined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
®information can
be found at: www.homelink.com or by
calling 1-800-355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
®buttons be
erased for security purposes.
Before programming HomeLink®to
a garage door opener or gate oper-
ator, make sure people and objects
are out of the way of the device to
prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLink
®with any
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse features
required by U.S. federal safety stan-
dards (this includes any garage
door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door
that cannot detect an object - sig-
naling the door to stop and reverse
- does not meet current U.S. federal
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these features
increases the risk of serious injury
or death.

To adjust the Zone setting:
1. Determine the desired Zone Numberbased upon your current location on
the Zone Map.
2. Press and hold the button for more than 3 but less than 6 seconds, the
current Zone Number will appear on
the display.
3. Pressing and holding the button again will cause the numbers to incre-
ment (Note: they will repeat …13, 14,
15, 1, 2, …). Releasing the button
when the desired Zone Number
appears on the display will set the new
Zone.
4. Within about 5 seconds the compass will start displaying a compass head-
ing again.
There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle magnets,
such as installing a ski rack or a CB
antenna. Body repair work on the vehicle
can also cause changes to the vehicle’s
magnetic field. In these situations, the
compass will need to be re-calibrated to
quickly correct these changes. If you need to recalibrate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button for more
than 6 seconds. When the compass
memory is cleared a "C" will appear in
the display.
2. Drive the vehicle in 2 complete circles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
