How to Use
Solar roof operates automatically when
it gets exposed to the sun regardless
of the vehicle’s start-up. If the vehicle
turns off while activating the solar roof,
it stops around 5 minutes and starts to
re-operate.
ODN8H059313[A] : Solar cell
Battery Charging Amount
The solar roof charges the starting
battery and high-voltage battery by
generating electricity with the sunlight.
The amount of electricity produced by
the solar roof varies according to sunlight
intensity and temperature and stronger
sunlight and lower temperature produce
more electricity.
Information
• The solar roof generates more
electricity with stronger sunlight
but the intensity of sunlight may be
different from feeling thermometer.
• The solar cell installed in the solar
roof can produce more electricitywhile
driving due to cooling occurred by
wind than parking status since its
generating efficiency increases in lower
temperature.
Solar Roof Operation Lamp
ODN8H059312
When the solar roof is on, the lamp
installed in the upper part of the crash
pad illuminates.
Check Solar Roof Operation
ODN8HQ019006N
The solar roof operation status presents
three levels of the solar cell output. If
the solar roof information is selected
in the infotainment system, the battery
charging amount of the solar cell can be
checked

Emergency Trunk Safety Release
Inside the trunk
ODN8059044L
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Emergency Trunk Safety Release lever
located inside the trunk. When someone
is inadvertently locked in the trunk, the
trunk can be opened by moving the lever
in the direction of the arrow and pushing
the trunk open.
WARNING
• You and your passengers must
be aware of the location of the
Emergency Trunk Safety Release
lever in this vehicle and how to open
the trunk in case you are accidentally
locked in the trunk.
• NEVER allow anyone to occupy the
trunk of the vehicle at any time. If the
trunk is partially or totally latched
and the person is unable to get out,
serious injury or death could occur
due to lack of ventilation, exhaust
fumes and rapid heat build-up, or
because of exposure to cold weather
conditions. The trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the event of a
crash because it is not a protected
occupant space but is a part of the
vehicle’s crush zone. •
Your vehicle should be kept locked
and the Smart Key should be kept
out of the reach of children. Parents
should teach their children about the
dangers of playing in trunks.
• Use the release lever for emergencies
only.
Inside the vehicle
When you can not unlock the trunk due
to battery discharge or other reasons,
you can unlock the trunk inside the
vehicle.
ODN8H059045
Open the cable cover(1) under the rear
seat with a mechanical key and pull the
cable (2) for unlocking the trunk.
The cable is firmly fixed so it may hard to
pull. Therefore, please use a tool such as
a screwdriver to assist in pulling the loop
for the emergency release.

system and heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air enters
the vehicle from outside and
is heated or cooled according
to the function selected.
Information
Using the system primarily in Fresh mode
and Recirculation mode only when needed
is recommended for best results.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the A/C
ON can cause fogging of the windshield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C
ON in Recirculation mode may result in
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the
cabin.
WARNING
• Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode for a prolonged period of
time may cause drowsiness to the
occupants in the cabin. This may lead
to loss of vehicle control which may
lead to an accident.
• Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode with the A/C OFF may allow
humidity to increase inside the
cabin. This may cause condensation
to accumulate on the windshield and
obscure visibility.
• Do not sleep in your vehicle or
remain parked in your vehicle with
the windows up and either the
heater or the air conditioning ON for
prolonged periods of time. Doing so
may increase the levels of carbon
dioxide in the cabin which may lead
to serious injury or death.
