This system helps to protect your vehicle
and valuables. The horn will sound and
the hazard warning lights will blink
continuously if any of the following
occurs:
- A door is opened without using the smart key.
- The tailgate is opened without using the smart key.
- The hood is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds, then
the system resets. To turn off the alarm,
unlock the doors with the smart key.
The Theft Alarm System automatically
sets 30 seconds after you lock the doors
and the tailgate. For the system to
activate, you must lock the doors and the
tailgate from outside the vehicle with the
smart key or by pressing the button on
the outside of the door handles with the
smart key in your possession.
The hazard warning lights will blink and
the chime will sound once to indicate the
system is armed.
Once the security system is set, opening
any door, the tailgate, or the hood
without using the smart key will cause
the alarm to activate.
The Theft Alarm System will not set if the
hood, the tailgate, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set, check
the hood, the tailgate, or the doors are fully closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it.
Information
• Do not lock the doors until all passengers have left the vehicle. If the
remaining passenger leaves the vehicle when the system is armed, the alarm will be activated.
• If the vehicle is not disarmed with the
smart key, open the doors by using the mechanical key and start the vehicle
(for smart key) and wait for 30 seconds.
• When the system is disarmed but a
door or tailgate is not opened within 30
seconds, the system will be rearmed.

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.

Tilt steering/Telescopic steering
WARNING
Never adjust the steering wheel while
driving. You may lose steering control
and cause severe personal injury, death
or accidents.
Information
After adjustment, sometimes the lock-
release lever may not lock the steering wheel.
It is not a malfunction. This occurs when
two gears are not engaged correctly. In this case, adjust the steering wheel again and then lock the steering wheel.OOS047006
To change the steering wheel angle and
height:
1. Pull down the lock-release lever (1).
2. Adjust the steering wheel to the desired angle (2) and height (3). Move
the steering wheel, so it points toward
your chest, not toward your face.
Make sure you can see the instrument
panel warning lights and gauges.
3. Pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place.
Push the steering wheel both up and
down to be certain it is locked in position.
CAUTION
While adjusting the steering wheel
height, please do not push or pull it
hard since the fixture can be damaged.

Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
OOSEV048006L
[A] : Indicator
The electric chromic rearview mirror
automatically controls the glare from
the headlamp of the vehicle behind
you in nighttime or low light driving
conditions. When the vehicle is ON, the
glare is automatically controlled by the
sensor mounted in the rearview mirror.
The sensor detects the light level around
the vehicle, and automatically adjusts
to control the headlamp glare from
vehicles behind you. Whenever the gear
is shifted to R (Reverse), the mirror will
automatically go to the brightest setting
in order to improve the driver’s view
behind the vehicle. Electrochromic mirror (ECM) with
HomeLink® system and Genesis
Connected Service (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
a Gentex Automatic-Dimming Mirror
with an Integrated HomeLink® Wireless
Control System.
During nighttime driving, this feature will
automatically detect and help reduce
rearview mirror glare. The HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver allows you to
activate your garage door(s), electric
gate, home lighting, etc.
