or an airport which can interfere
with normal operation of the remote
key.
If the remote key does not work cor-
rectly, open and close the door with
the mechanical key. If you have a
problem with the remote key contact
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
If the remote key is in close proximi-
ty to your mobile phone, the signal
could be blocked by your mobile
phone's normal operational signals.
This is specifically relevant when the
phone is active such as making and
receiving calls, text messaging,
and/or sending/receiving emails. When possible, avoid placing the
remote key and your mobile phone in
the same location such as a pants or
jacket pocket in order to avoid inter-
ference between the two devices.

Safe Exit Assist (SEA) System
(if equipped)
1. The Safe Exit Assist system is pro-vided to help prevent the passen-
gers from opening a door by warning
the passengers when an approach-
ing vehicle from the rear area is
detected after the vehicle stops.
2. When an approaching vehicle from the rear area is detected
after the vehicle stops, the rear
door does not unlock even when
the driver tries to unlock the rear
door using the Electronic child
safety lock button. The "Check
surroundings then try again"
warning message appears on the
cluster and a warning sounds. However if you press the switch
within 10 seconds after the warn-
ing message appears (the indica-
tor on the switch will turn off), the
system judges that the driver
unlocked the door acknowledging
the rear status and released
regardless of the rear status.
3. When an approaching vehicle from the rear is detected the
moment the door is opened, the
"Watch for traffic" warning mes-
sage appears on the cluster and a
warning sounds.
The above 2 and 3 functions are activated when you select ‘Driver
Assistance →Blind-Spot Safety →
Safe Exit Assistance (SEA)’ from
the User Settings mode in the clus-
ter LCD display. The Electronic child safety lock
system will operate for approxi-
mately 10 minutes after the ignition
key is removed or turned to the
LOCK (or OFF) position. After
about 10 minutes, the indicator on
the switch turns off and you cannot
deactivate the Electronic child
safety lock system. To deactivate
the Electronic child safety lock sys-
tem, press the Electronic child safe-
ty lock switch again with the ignition
switch in the ON position or after
starting the engine.
When the power is supplied again after removing the battery or bat-
tery discharge while the child safe-
ty lock is in the lock position, press
the child safety lock switch once
again to match the state of the indi-
cator on the child safety lock switch
and actual status of the Electronic
child safety lock system.
If the airbag is activated while the child safety lock switch is ON (the
indicator on the switch illuminates)
it automatically switches OFF and
the rear door is unlocked.
