If you suspect your smart key might
have sustained some damage, or
you feel your smart key is not work-
ing correctly, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to the
environment and human
health. Dispose of the battery
according to your local law(s)
or regulations.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system protects
your vehicle from theft. If an improp-
erly coded key (or other device) is
used, the engine's fuel system is dis-
abled.
When the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the immobilizer sys-
tem indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, the system does not recognize
the coding of the key.
Turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position, then turn the
ignition switch to the ON position
again.
In some circumstances, the vehicle
may not recognize your smart key if
another smart key device is nearby
or a metal object such as a key chain
is causing interference with the
smart key.
If this occurs, your vehicle may not
start. Remove any metal objects or
additional keys near the smart key
before attempting to start the vehicle
again.If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of the key, it is
recommended that you contact your
HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your vehicle inoperable.

Convenient features of your vehicle
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a cus-
tomer unique password and
should be kept confidential.

• For Push Button Start Vehicles
(Smart Key)
If the smart key is in the vehicle
and any door is open, the doors
will not lock even though the lock
button (2) is pressed.
Opening a door when something
is approaching may cause dam-
age or injury. Be careful when
opening doors and watch for
vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles
or pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
CAUTION
Do not leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle. An
enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
serious injury to unattended
children or animals who cannot
escape the vehicle. Children
might operate features of the
vehicle that could injure them,
or they could encounter other
harm, possibly from someone
gaining entry to the vehicle.
WARNING
Always secure your vehicle.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked
increases the potential risk to
you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle.

switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion, close all windows, lock all
doors, and always take the key
with you.
WARNING
•The doors should always be
fully closed and locked while
the vehicle is in motion. If the
doors are unlocked, the risk of
being thrown from the vehicle
in a crash is increased.
•Do not pull the inner door
handle of the driver's or pas-
senger's door while the vehi-
cle is moving.

STEERING WHEEL
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the vehicle is turned off
or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, 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
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are complet-
ed, the steering wheel effort will
return to its normal condition.
• When the battery voltage is low, you
might have to put more steering
effort. However, it is a temporary
condition so that it will return to
normal condition after charging the
battery.• When the battery voltage is low, you
might have to put more steering
effort. However, it is a temporary
condition so that it will return to
normal condition after charging the
battery.
• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is
in the ON or LOCK/OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed.
• When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperatures, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If the temper-
ature rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.
• When an error is detected from the
EPS, the steering effort assist func-
tion will not be activated in order to
help prevent fatal accidents.
Instrument cluster warning lights
may be on or the steering effort may
be high. If these symptoms occur,
drive the vehicle to a safe area as
soon as it is safe to do so. Have the
system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
i
•If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate nor-
mally, the warning light ( )
will illuminate on the instru-
ment cluster. You may steer
the vehicle, but it will require
increased steering efforts.
Take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
and have the system checked
as soon as possible.
•When abnormality is detected
in the electric power steering
system, to prevent an acci-
dent, the steering assist func-
tion will stop. At this time, the
warning light turns on or
blinks on the cluster. The
steering wheel may become
difficult to control or operate.
Have your vehicle checked
immediately, after moving the
vehicle to a safe zone.

Power Windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position to be able to raise or lower
the windows. Each door has a Power
Window switch to control that door's
window. The driver has a Power
Window Lock switch which can block
the operation of rear passenger win-
dows. The power windows will oper-
ate for approximately 30 seconds
after the ignition switch is placed in
the ACC or LOCK/OFF position.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the Power Windows will not
operate even within the 30 second
period.
Information
• In cold and wet climates, power win-
dows may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• While driving with the rear win-
dows down, your vehicle may
demonstrate a wind buffeting or
pulsation noise. This noise is normal
and can be reduced or eliminated by
taking the following actions. If the
noise occurs with one or both of the
rear windows down, partially lower
both front windows approximately
one inch.

Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel Requirements"
suggested in the Introduction chapter.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted sur-
faces may damage the paint.
• If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction
of the fuel system or emission
control system.
NOTICE
i•If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
•If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
•Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete.
•Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
•When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the 1st gear
when the vehicle is parked on
a uphill and to R (Reverse) on
a downhill, set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch to the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Sparks produced by
electrical components related
to the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
•Do not use matches or a
lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
•Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
