Safety system of your vehicle
The ventilated 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 ventilated
seat is not needed, keep the switch-
es in the OFF position.
When the engine is running, the ven-
tilated seats may be operated. Press
the driver's side button to cool the
driver seat or press the passenger
side button to cool the passenger
seat.
Each time you press the ventilated
seats button, the temperature set-
ting of the seat is changed as fol-
lows:
When pressing the switch for more
than 1.5 seconds with the ventilat-
ed seat operating, the operation
will turn OFF. The ventilated seats defaults to
the OFF position each time the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position.
To prevent damage to the air ven-
tilation seat:
Use the ventilated seats only
when the climate control system
is ON. Using the ventilated seats
for prolonged periods with the
climate control system OFF
could cause the ventilated seat
to malfunction.
Never use a solvent such as
paint thinner, benzene, alcohol
or gasoline 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 air intake causing the air
vents to not work properly. Do not change the seat covers. It
may damage the ventilated seat.
If the air vents do not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in
the path of the power liftgate to
make sure the automatic rever-
sal operates.
WARNING
The power liftgate can be oper-
ated when the engine is not run-
ning. However, the power liftgate
operation consumes a large
amount of electic power.
To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not oper-
ate it excessively (e.g. more than
5 times repeatedly).
To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not leave
the power liftgate in the open
position for a long time.
Do not modify or repair any part
of the power liftgate by yourself.
This must be done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehi-
cle, do not operate the power
liftgate. This could cause the
power liftgate to operate
improperly.
In cold and wet climates, the
power liftgate may not work
properly due to freezing condi-
tions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power liftgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
liftgate will detect the resistance.
If resistance is detected while open-
ing or closing the power liftgate, the
liftgate will stop and move in the
opposite direction.However, in some instances the
automatic reversal system may not
detect the object if it is too soft or is
very thin, or if the liftgate is almost
fully closed near the latched position.
Caution should be taken to prevent
any objects from obstructing the lift-
gate opeining.
If the automatic reversal feature
operates more than 2 times while
attempting to open or close the lift-
gate, the power liftgate may stop at
that position. If this occurs, carefully
close the liftgate manually, and then
try to operate the power liftgate auto-
matically again.

Smart Cruise Control Radar
Sensor
The Smart Cruise Control uses a
radar sensor to detect distance to the
vehicle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the sensor clean.
Warning message
Smart Cruise Control disabled.
Radar blocked
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
Smart Cruise Control system opera-
tion may be disabled temporarily. If
this occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display. Remove
any dirt, snow, or debris and clean
the radar sensor lens cover before
operating the Smart Cruise Control
system. The Smart Cruise Control
system may not properly activate, if
the radar is totally contaminated, or if
any substance is not detected after
turning on the engine (e.g. in an
open terrain).
Information
For the SCC operation is temporarily
stopped if the radar is blocked, but
you wish to use conventional cruise
control mode (speed only control func-
tion), you must convert to the cruise
control mode (refer to "To convert to
Cruise Control mode" in the following
page).

OTLE058181
OTM058061LDo not apply license plate
frame or foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may
adversely affect the sensing
performance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor
and lens cover clean and free
of dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash
the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover.

Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in chapter 7 and replace
them if necessary. Also check all
ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or
damaged in any way.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add an
approved window washer anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instruc-
tions on the container. Window wash-
er anti-freeze is available from an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
most auto parts outlets. Do not use
engine coolant or other types of anti-
freeze as these may damage the
paint finish.
Do not let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the gear selector lever in P
and block the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
Do not let ice and snow accu-
mulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in severe winter conditions
where this may happen, you should
periodically check underneath the
car to be sure the movement of the
front wheels and the steering com-
ponents is not obstructed.
Don't place foreign objects or
materials in the engine com-
partment
Placement of foreign object or mate-
rials which prevent cooling of the
engine, in the engine compartment,
may cause a failure or combustion.
The manufacturer is not responsible
for the damage caused by such
placement.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing,
squirt an approved de-icer fluid or
glycerine into the key opening. If a
lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove
the ice. If the lock is frozen internally,
you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heat-
ed key with care to avoid injury.

ground, move the shift lever
into the P (Park) position,
apply the parking brake, place
the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
Block the tires (front and
back) to prevent the vehicle
from moving.
Remove loose clothing or jew-
elry that can become entan-
gled in moving parts.

Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer's
precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on level
ground in P (Park) with the park-
ing brake set. If possible, block the
wheels.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the
engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
4 . Turn the engine off and wait about
five minutes for the oil to return to
the oil pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean,
and re-insert it fully.
6. Pull the dipstick out again and
check the level. The level should
be between F and L.
7. If it is near or at L, add enough oil
to bring the level to F.To prevent damage to your
engine:
Do not overfill with engine oil.
Add oil in small quantities and
recheck level to ensure engine
is not overfilled.
Do not spill engine oil when
adding or changing engine oil.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil
from being spilled on engine
components. Wipe off spilled oil
immediately.
