Information
In cold and wet climates, trunk lock and
trunk mechanisms may not work properly
due to freezing conditions.
WARNING
Always be careful to open and close the trunk.
• To prevent serious injury and damage, you should check and keep
your body parts such as hands or
head away from the path of the trunk while closing or opening the trunk.
• Your body parts or an object might be damaged by sharp edges so you
should be careful while opening/closing the trunk or taking the thing
out from the trunk. Especially, a child
can hit the face or head around the
trunk so you should be cautious all the time.
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.

Information
If the fuel filler door does not open
because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break the
ice and release the door. Do not pry on the
door. If necessary, spray around the door
with an approved deicer fluid (do not use
radiator antifreeze) or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow the ice to melt. Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it clockwise until it “clicks” one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is latched securely.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH: • Read and follow all warnings posted
at the gas station.
• Before refueling, note the location of
the Emergency Gasoline Shut-Off, if
available, at the gas station.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle, you
should eliminate the potential build-
up of static electricity by touching
a metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source,
with your bare hand.
• Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can potentially ignite fuel
vapors and cause a fire. •
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a buildup of
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any item
or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. If you must re-enter
the vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by
touching a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other gasoline source, with your
bare hand.
• When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
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 button to the P (Park) position
set the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch to the LOCK/
OFF position. 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.

the front view camera without the
assistance of an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer technician. If the front camera
is removed for any reason, the
system may need to be re-calibrated.
Have the system inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If the windshield of your vehicle is
replaced, most likely the front view
camera will need to be re-calibrated.
If this occurs, have your vehicle
inspected and have the system re-
calibrated by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Be careful that water doesn’t get into
High Beam Assist unit and do not
remove or damage related parts of
High Beam Assist system.
• Do not place objects on the crash
pad that reflect light such as mirrors,
white paper, etc. The system may
malfunction if sunlight is reflected.
• At times, High Beam Assist system
may not work properly. The system
is for your convenience only. It is the
responsibility of the driver for safe
driving practices and always check
the road conditions for your safety.
• When the system does not operate
normally, change the headlamp
position manually between the high
beam and low beam.

WARNING
• Never rely solely on the rear camera
display when backing-up.
• ALWAYS look around your vehicle
to make sure there are no objects or
obstacles before moving the vehicle
in any direction to prevent a collision.
• Always pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to objects,
particularly pedestrians, and
especially children.
NOTICE
• Do not spray the camera or its
surrounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from
high pressure water may cause the
device to not operate normally.
• Do not use any cleanser containing
acid or alkaline detergents when
cleaning the lens. Use only a mild
soap or neutral detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with water.
• Always keep the rear view camera
lens clean. If the lens is covered with
foreign material, it may adversely
affect camera performance and
Rear View Monitor may not operate
normally. However, do not use
chemical solvents such as strong
detergents containing high alkaline
or volatile organic solvents (gasoline,
acetone etc.). This may damage the
camera lens.

[A] : Rear Sensor
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system assists the driver during reverse
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
an object is sensed within the distance of
120 cm (48 in) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
that senses objects within the range and
location of the sensors, it cannot detect
objects in other areas where sensors are
not installed.
WARNING
• ALWAYS look around your vehicle to
make sure there are not any objects
or obstacles before moving the
vehicle in any direction to prevent a
collision.
• Always pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to objects,
particularly pedestrians, and
especially children.
• Be aware that some objects may
not be visible on the screen or be
detected by the sensors, due to the
objects distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effectiveness
of the sensor.
Operation of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning System
Operating condition • This system will activate when
backing up with the ignition switch in
the ON position. However, if vehicle
speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph), the
system may not detect objects.
• If vehicle speed exceeds 10km/h (6
mph), the system will not warn you
even though objects are detected.
• When more than two objects are
sensed at the same time, the closest
one will be recognized first.
