Immobilizer system
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle from theft. If an improperly
coded key (or other device) is used, the
vehicle is disabled.
When the START/STOP button is placed
in the ON position, the immobilizer
system indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, the system does not recognize the
coding of the key.
Place the START/STOP button to the
LOCK/OFF position, then place the
START/STOP button to the ON position again.
The system may not recognize your
key’s coding if another immobilizer key
or other metal object (i.e., key chain) is
near the key. The vehicle may not start
because the metal may interrupt the
transponder signal from transmitting
normally.
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.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobilizer password is a customer
unique password and should be kept
confidential.
NOTICE
The transponder in your key is an
important part of the immobilizer
system. It is designed to give years
of trouble-free service, however you
should avoid exposure to moisture,
static electricity and rough handling.
Immobilizer system malfunction could
occur.

WARNING
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
Leaving your vehicle unlocked increases
the potential risk to you or others from
someone hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, while
depressing the brake, move the shift
lever to the P (Park) position, engage
the parking brake, and place the START/
STOP button OFF position, close all
windows, lock all doors, and always
take the key with you.
CAUTION
Opening a door when something is
approaching may cause damage or
injury. Be careful when opening doors
and watch for vehicles, motorcycles,
bicycles or pedestrians approaching the
vehicle in the path of the door.
WARNING
If you stay in the vehicle for a long time
while the weather is very hot or cold,
there are risks of injuries or danger to
life. Do not lock the vehicle from the
outside when someone is in the vehicle.

steering wheel
Electric power steering (EPS)
The system assists you with steering
the vehicle. If the vehicle is off or if
the power steering system becomes
inoperative, the vehicle may still be
steered, but it will require increased
steering effort.
Also, the steering effort becomes heavier
as the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the
steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, we recommend that
the system be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
• If the Electric Power Steering System
does not operate normally, the
warning light (
) will illuminate
or blink on the instrument cluster.
The steering wheel may become
difficult to control or operate. We
recommend to contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer to have the system
checked as soon as possible.
• When abnormality is detected in
the electric power steering system,
to prevent a deadly accident, the
steering assist function 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.
Information
The following symptoms may occur during normal vehicle operation: • The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the START/
STOP button in the ON position. This happens as the system performs
the EPS system diagnostics. When
the diagnostics are completed, the
steering wheel 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.
• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the START/STOP
button is placed in the ON or OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving speed.
• When you operate the steering wheel
in low temperatures, abnormal noise
may occur. If the temperature rises, the
noise will disappear. This is a normal condition.
• When the vehicle is stationary, if you turn the steering wheel all the way
to the left or right continuously, the
steering wheel effort increases. This
is not a system malfunction. As time passes, the steering wheel effort will
return to its normal condition.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision Safety™
(NVS®) Mirror (if equipped)
The NVS® Mirror automatically helps
reduce glare by monitoring light levels in
the front and the rear of the vehicle. Any
object that obstructs either light sensor
will degrade the automatic dimming
control feature.
For more information regarding NVS®
mirrors and other applications, please
refer to the Gentex website:
www.gentex.com
Your mirror will automatically dim
upon detecting glare from the vehicles
traveling behind you.
The mirror defaults to the ON position
each time the vehicle is started.
Integrated HomeLink® Wireless Control System
The HomeLink® Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace
up to three hand held radio-frequency
transmitters used to activate compatible
devices such as gate operators, garage
door openers, entry door locks, security
systems, and home lighting.
NOTICE
HomeLink® operates while the ignition
switch is in the ACC or ON position
for safety reasons. It is to prevent
unintentional security problems from
happening when the vehicle is parked
outside the garage.
WARNING
Before programming HomeLink® to a
garage door opener or gate operator,
make sure people and objects are out
of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. Do not
use the HomeLink® with any garage
door opener that lacks the safety
stop and reverse features required
by U.S. federal safety standards (this
includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to stop and
reverse - does not meet current U.S.
federal safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these features
increases the risk of serious injury or
death.
For more information, contact
HomeLink® at www.homelink.com, or
call Home-Link customer support at
1-800-355-3515.
It is also recommended that a new
battery be replaced in the handheld
transmitter of the device being trained
to HomeLink® for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio
frequency.
1. Programming HomeLink ®
The following steps show how to
program HomeLink. If you have any
questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink buttons,
refer to the HomeLink website or call the
HomeLink customer support toll-free
number. Do this, before going back to
the dealer who sold you the car.

programming is complete. If the
device does not operate, continue
with step 6.
6. At the garage door opener motor, (security gate motor, etc.) locate the
"Learn", "Smart", "Set" or "Program"
button. This can usually be found
where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit (see
the device's manual to identify this
button). The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.
