USB charger (if equipped)
The USB car charger allows drivers
to charge their digital devices like
smartphone, and PC tablets.
Connect the device to the USB port
using a manufacturer certified cable
to begin charging.
Power is supplied to the USB car
charger in either the ACC state or
with the ignition on. In order to pre-
vent battery discharge, only connect
digital devices to the USB port with
the ignition on. Use the display
screen of the connected device to
check its charging progress. Your
smartphone or tablet may heat up
while charging.This does not impact life or function
of the device. For safety reasons,
charging will stop if the battery heats
up to temperatures that will negative-
ly affect the device. Not all devices
are supported by the USB charger
and may require additional adapters.
CAUTION
- Use the USB car charger with
the ignition on. Otherwise,vehicle battery dischargedmay occur.
- Use the official USB cable of the digital device to becharged.
- Make sure that any foreign object, drinks, and water donot come into contact with theUSB car charger. Water or for-eign objects can damage theUSB charger.
- Do not connect devices with current consumption exceed-ing 2.1A.
- Do not connect devices that generate excessive electro-magnetic noise. Doing so mayinterrupt the vehicle audio/AVelectronic devices.

system is located in front of the cen-
ter console.
Firmly close all doors, and turn the
ignition to ACC or IGN ON. To start
wireless charging, place the smart
phone equipped with wireless charg-
ing function on the wireless charging
pad. For best wireless charging results,
place the smart phone on the center
of the charging pad.
The wireless charging system is
designed for single usage with smart
phones equipped with QI. Please
refer to the smart phone accessory
cover or the smart phone manufac-
turer homepage to check whether
your smart phone supports QI func-
tion.
OBD048404WARNING
If any metallic object such as a
coin is located between the
wireless charging system and
the smart phone, the charging
may be disrupted. Also, the
metallic object may heat up and
potentially damage the charg-
ing system.
(Continued)
- Ensure the devices are cor- rectly connected, failing to doso may cause serious damageto the device. Please note thatdamages due to incorrectusage are not covered by war-ranty service.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
• When the internal temperature of
the wireless charging system rises
above a set temperature, the wire-
less charging will cease to func-
tion. After the internal tempera-
ture drops below the threshold,
the wireless charging function will
resume.
• If there is any metallic object between the smart phone and the
wireless charging pad, immediate-
ly remove the smart phone.
Remove the metallic object after it
has completely cooled down.
• The wireless charging may not function properly when there is a
heavy accessory cover on the
smart phone.
• The wireless charging will stop when using the wireless smart key
search function; preventing radio
wave disruption.
• The wireless charging will stop when the smart key is moved out
of the vehicle with the ignition in
ON. (Continued)(Continued)
• The wireless charging will stop
when any of the doors are opened
(applicable for vehicles equipped
with smart keys).
• The wireless charging will stop when the vehicle is turned OFF.
• The wireless charging will stop when the smart phone is not in
complete contact with the wireless
charging pad.
• Items equipped with magnetic components such as: credit cards,
telephone cards, bankbooks,
transportation tickets etc, may
become damaged during wireless
charging.
• Place the smart phone on the cen- ter of the charge pad for best
results. The smart phone may not
charge when placed near the rim
of the charging pad. If the smart
phone is not charging, it may heat
up excessively.
• For smart phones without built-in wireless charging system, an
appropriate accessory has to be
equipped in order to use the vehi-
cle's wireless charging system. (Continued)(Continued)
• Smart phones of some manufac-
turers may display messages on
weak current. This is due to the
particular characteristic of the
smart phone and does not imply a
malfunction of the wireless charg-
ing system.
• The indicator light of some manu- facturers’ smart phones may still
be yellow after the smart phone is
fully charged. This is due to the
particular characteristic of the
smart phone and not a malfunc-
tion of the wireless charging sys-
tem.
• When any smart phone without wireless charging capabilities or a
metallic object is placed on the
charging pad, a small noise may
be heard. This sound is due to the
vehicle discerning compatibility of
the object placed on the charging
pad. It does not affect your vehicle
or the smart phone in any way.

Driving your vehicle
Before entering vehicle
• Be sure that all windows, outsidemirror(s), and outside lights are
clean.
Check the condition of the tires.
Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks.
Be sure there are no obstacles behind you if you intend to back up.
Necessary inspections
Fluid levels, such as engine oil,
engine coolant, brake fluid, and
washer fluid should be checked on a
regular basis, at the exact interval
depending on the fluid. Further
details are provided in chapter 8,
“Maintenance”.
Before starting
Close and lock all doors.
Position the seat so that all con-trols are easily reached.
Buckle your seat belt.
Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirrors.
Be sure that all lights work.
Check all gauges.
Check the operation of warning lights when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
Release the parking brake and make sure the brake warning light
goes out.
For safe operation, be sure you are
familiar with your vehicle and its
equipment.

tive. If difficulty is experienced turn-
ing the ignition switch to the ACC
position, turn the key while turning
the steering wheel right and left to
release the tension.
ON (3)
The warning lights can be checked

parking brake. Before leaving the dri-
ver’s seat, always make sure the shift
lever is engaged in P (Park) for intel-
ligent variable transmission, set the

✽ ✽
NOTICE
If you leave the ignition switch to the
ACC or ON position for a long time,
the battery may discharge.
WARNING- Key holder
Do not attach small purses,
multiple keys, or any other
heavy accessories to the dri-
ver's key chain used to start the
vehicle. This may cause the
driver to accidently make the
key inserted in the vehicle to
change the ignition position to
the ACC position while the vehi-
cle is moving thereby increas-
ing the risk of an accident and
causing the deactivation of sev-
eral safety features.WARNING- Leaving the Vehicle
To avoid unexpected or sudden
vehicle movement, never leave
your vehicle if the transmission
is not locked in the P (Park)
position and the parking brake
is fully engaged. Before leaving
the driver's seat, always make
sure the shift lever is engaged in
P (Park), set the parking brake
fully and shut the engine off.WARNING- Ignition switch
Never turn the ignition switch to
LOCK or ACC while the vehicle
is moving. This would result in
loss of directional control and
braking function, which could
cause an accident.
