If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying
HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-
327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153);
go to http://www.safercar.gov;
download the SaferCar mobile application;
or write to: Administrator, NHTSA
1200 New Jersey Ave, SE,
West Building Washington, D.C. 20590.
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from
http://www.safercar.gov.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it
finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer, or HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA.

operations.
• “Approach unlock” system is not
operated continuously. Retry after a
certain period of time when all the
doors are closed.
Information
• In cold and wet climates, door lock
and door mechanisms may not work
properly due to freezing conditions.
• If the door is locked/unlocked multiple
times in rapid succession with either
the vehicle key or door lock switch, the system may stop operating temporarily
in order to protect the circuit and
prevent damage to system components.
• When washing the vehicle
- Self car wash
Keep the door locked with the outside

Side View Mirrors
ONE1051027
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-
hand and right-hand outside rearview
mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted
remotely with the mirror adjustment
control switch. The outside rearview
mirrors can be folded to help prevent
damage when going through an
automatic car wash or when passing
through a narrow street.
The right outside rearview mirror is
convex. Objects seen in the mirror are
closer than they appear.
Use the inside side view mirror or look
back directly to determine the actual
distance of other vehicles prior to changing lanes.
Make sure to adjust the outside rearview
mirrors to your desired position before
you begin driving.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the outside
rearview mirrors while driving. This may
cause loss of vehicle control resulting in
an accident.
NOTICE
• Do not scrape ice off the mirror face;
this may damage the surface of the glass.
• If the mirror is jammed with ice, do
not adjust the mirror by force. Use an
approved spray de-icer (not radiator
antifreeze) spray, or a sponge or soft
cloth with very warm water, or move
the vehicle to a warm place and
allow the ice to melt.
• Do not clean the mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum
based cleaning products.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Distance
Recognition Sensor (Front
Radar)
ONE1071018
[2] : Front radar For detail location of sensor, refer to the picture
above.
In order for the Smart Recuperation
System to operate properly, always make
sure the radar sensor cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt, snow,
or foreign substances on the lens may
adversely affect the sensing performance
of the sensor. In this case, the system
operation may stop temporarily and not
operate normally.
CAUTION
• Do 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 pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unnecessary
force on the radar sensor or sensor
cover. If the sensor is forcibly
moved out of proper alignment,
the Smart Recuperation System
may not operate correctly. In this
case, a warning message may not
be displayed. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around the
radar sensor, the Smart Recuperation
System may not operate properly.
Have the vehicle authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only genuine parts or the
equivalent specified for your vehicle
to repair or replace a damaged
sensor or sensor cover. Do not apply
paint to the sensor cover.

Power-Assist Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal usage.
If the vehicle is not running or is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will be
longer than with power brakes.
When the vehicle is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied.
Do not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
WARNING
Take the following precautions: • Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
So increase the regeneration braking
level with the left paddle shift lever
to decrease the speed.
• When descending down a long or
steep hill, use the paddle shifter to
increase the regeneration braking
level in order to decrease your
speed without using the brake
pedal excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will cause
the brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of braking
performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's
ability to safely decelerate. Because
wet brakes increase braking distance
and cause noise troubles, select 0
step of the regenerative braking
system and depress the brake pedal
around 10 times, with keeping the
safe distance from other vehicles,
lightly in order to dry the braking
system. Such procedure may
decrease the driving distance by
restraining the regenerative braking
system, which is not a system
malfunction. Inspect the braking
system after car wash or driving over
wet road conditions.
NOTICE
• Do not continue depressing
the brake pedal if the ""
indicator is OFF. The battery may be
discharged.
• Noise and vibration generated
during braking is normal.
• Under normal operation, electric
brake pump noise and motor
vibration may occur temporarily in
below cases.
- When the pedal is depressed
suddenly.
- When the pedal is repeatedly
depressed in short intervals.
- When the ABS function is activated
while braking.

Winter Precautions
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in chapter 9. The
battery charging level can be checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or in a
service station.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen,
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes,
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorized window
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified
on the window washer container.
Window washer anti-freeze solution is
available from an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer, and most vehicle accessory
outlets. Do not use coolant or other types
of anti-freeze solution, to prevent any
damage to the vehicle paint. 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. When there is the risk that your
parking brake may freeze, temporarily
apply it with the gear in P (Park). Also,
block the rear wheels in advance, so the
vehicle may not roll. Then, release the
parking brake.
Do not let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in such conditions during the severe
winter, you should check underneath
the vehicle on a regular basis, to ensure
that the front wheels and the steering
components is unblocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions,
you should carry appropriate emergency
equipment, while driving. Some of the
items you may want to carry include tire
chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight,
emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the
motor compartment
Putting objects or materials in the motor
compartment may cause an motor
failure. Such damage will not be covered
by the manufacturer’s warranty.
