• the distance from the transmitter to the car is more than 10 m;
• the battery in the transmitter is discharged;
• other cars or objects are blocking the signal;
• ambient temperature too low;
• the transmitter is located near radio stations, airports or other objects that generate high-frequency radiation that may interfere with its normal operation.

If the transmitter does not work, open and close the door with the key. Contact an authorized Hyundai dealer to repair the transmitter.

Do not allow water to enter the transmitter housing. In case of transmitter failure due to water or any liquids, the warranty obligations for repair or replacement of the transmitter do not apply.

Back door

The rear door is raised manually by pulling the outer door handle towards you.

Warning! When the vehicle is moving, the rear door must always be completely closed. If it is open or slightly open, toxic exhaust gases may enter the vehicle, which may result in poisoning or death of passengers.

To close the tailgate, lower it and push it until it is completely closed. To ensure that the tailgate is completely closed, try opening it without using the outside handle.

Luggage compartment net

The luggage compartment net is used to secure cargo in the luggage compartment.



Use the luggage compartment net by attaching it to the four eyelets as shown in Figure 1.17.

Please note: Be careful when transporting fragile and large items in the luggage compartment.

Warning! Avoid damaging the eyes. Do not over-tighten the luggage compartment net. Do not use a net that shows visible signs of wear or damage.

Luggage compartment protective shelf (additional equipment)

To use the luggage compartment protective shelf, pull it out of the cassette and secure the latch in the lock as shown in Figure 1.18.

Precautions when using the luggage compartment protective net

Do not place luggage on the luggage compartment protective net. In the event of a traffic accident (crash) or sudden braking, the luggage may shift and cause injury to passengers and the driver.

To save fuel, do not overload your car with unnecessary luggage.

Never allow passengers to be in the luggage compartment while the vehicle is moving. The luggage compartment is used only for carrying luggage.

When loading luggage, try to place it as close to the front of the luggage compartment as possible.

Luggage compartment under the luggage compartment tray

This versatile luggage compartment is located under the luggage compartment tray.



To use it, you need to lift the luggage compartment tray using the special handle (Fig. 1.19).

Roof rack (additional equipment)

The vehicle may also be equipped with a roof rack. Pull the locking lever up to move the crossbar to the desired position and lower the lever to securely fix the crossbar (Fig. 1.20).

Attention! The crossbars must be placed in such a way as to ensure an even load on the longitudinal mounting posts of the luggage rack, depending on the weight and dimensions of the luggage being transported.

Caution! If the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, do not place luggage in the sunroof opening area to avoid damaging the drive mechanism and the sunroof itself.

Caution! When transporting cargo on the roof rack, be careful not to damage the roof of the car.

Attention! When transporting large-sized cargo on the luggage rack, make sure that the dimensions of the cargo do not exceed the dimensions of the car roof.

Remote opening of the fuel filler cap

The fuel filler cap can be opened from inside the vehicle by pulling up on the cap release lever located on the driver's door (Fig. 1.21).

Note: If you cannot open the fuel filler cap due to ice, lightly tap or press on the cap to break the ice and open the cap. If necessary, use an approved de-icer spray (do not use coolant antifreeze) or move the vehicle to a heated area until the ice melts.

Warning! Gasoline vapors are poisonous. Always turn off the engine before refueling. When handling fuel, ensure that there is no open flame nearby. If the filler cap needs to be replaced, install only the original Hyundai cap that is designed for your vehicle brand. Sometimes, when unscrewing the cap at high ambient temperatures, a slight "hissing" sound can be heard. This is normal (Fig. 1.22).

When opening the fuel filler cap, turn it slowly. Fuel for internal combustion engines is a flammable / explosive substance. Therefore, when filling with fuel, to avoid serious injuries, burns, as well as to prevent fuel ignition, fire, explosion, always follow these recommendations:

• before refueling, pay attention to the location of the emergency exit from the gas station;
• before touching the fuel nozzle or fuel filler cap, ensure that there is no potentially dangerous static electricity by touching a metal part at the front of the vehicle, away from the fuel pump nozzle, with your hand.

When refueling, do not return to the vehicle. Do not touch or rub any synthetic materials (polyester, nylon, etc.) that can cause a static discharge that can ignite fuel vapors and cause an explosion.

When pouring fuel into a container, make sure it is on the ground. A discharge of static electricity from the container can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.

The canister must be "grounded" until the fuel is finished. Use only a canister designed for transporting and storing fuel.

Always turn off the engine when refueling. Sparks from the engine's electrical system could ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire. Always make sure the engine is turned off before refueling. After refueling, check that the fuel filler cap and door are tightly closed before starting the engine.

Do not light anything near a petrol station. Do not use matches or a lighter and do not smoke in the car while refueling. Smoking is strictly prohibited at a petrol station. Fuel is highly flammable.

If a fire occurs while refueling, leave the vehicle immediately, move as far away from it as possible and report the fire to the gas station staff or call the emergency services.

Manual release of the fuel filler cap

If it is not possible to open the lid remotely using the button, use the manual release handle located in the luggage compartment. To open the lid, open the plastic panel, pull the handle as shown in Figure 1.23.

Opening the hood

To open the hood, pull the hood lock handle towards you (Fig. 1.24).



Press the safety lever (Fig. 1.25).

Open the hood.



When closing the hood, slowly lower the hood and make sure that its latch is securely closed (Fig. 1.26).

Warning! Before driving, make sure that the hood is securely closed. A hood that is not completely closed may suddenly open while the vehicle is moving, which will result in complete loss of visibility and, in turn, may cause a traffic accident (crash).

Warning! Do not move the vehicle with the hood open, as this will obstruct your view and the hood may fall and be damaged.
