✽ NOTICE

The Power Trunk Lock button will not operate if you press it when:

- Any door is open.
- The engine start/stop button is not in the OFF position.

WARNING

Never leave children or animals unattended in the vehicle. Children or animals may operate the Power Trunk, which could result in injury to themselves or others, or damage to the vehicle.

WARNING

Always keep the trunk lid fully closed while the vehicle is in motion. If it is left open or partially open, poisonous exhaust gases containing carbon monoxide (CO) may enter the vehicle and cause serious injury or death.

WARNING

Make sure there are no people or objects around the trunk before opening or closing the Power Trunk. Wait until the trunk is fully open and stopped before loading or unloading cargo from the vehicle.

CAUTION

  • Do not close or open the Power Trunk manually. This may damage the Power Trunk. If it is necessary to close or open the Power Trunk manually when the battery is discharged or disconnected, do not apply excessive force.
  • Do not leave the Power Trunk open for an extended period. This may discharge the battery.
  • To avoid damage to the trunk lift cylinders and attached equipment, always close the trunk before driving.

✽ NOTICE

In cold and humid climates, the trunk lock and latch mechanisms may not operate properly due to freezing conditions.

Power Trunk does not open or close automatically under these conditions:

  • The Power Trunk does not open or close automatically when the vehicle is moving at speeds above 1.8 mph (3 km/h).
  • The Power Trunk can operate when the engine is not running. However, Power Trunk operation consumes a large amount of vehicle electrical power. To prevent battery discharge, do not use it excessively (for example, more than approximately 10 times in succession).
  • Do not modify or repair any part of the Power Trunk yourself. This must be done by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
  • Before lifting the vehicle with a jack to replace a tire or repair the vehicle, open the Power Trunk. Do not operate the Power Trunk while the vehicle is raised, as this may cause the Power Trunk to malfunction.
  • If there are obstacles, such as snow, on the Power Trunk, it may not open automatically. After removing the obstacle, try opening it again.

Automatic Stop and Reverse

If an object or part of a person's body blocks the trunk while it is opening or closing, the Power Trunk will detect the resistance and stop moving or move to the fully open position to allow the object to be cleared.

However, if the resistance is weak, for example from a thin or soft object, or if the trunk is near the latch position, the automatic stop and reverse function may not detect the resistance and the closing operation will continue. In addition, if the Power Trunk is caused to strike forcefully, the automatic stop and reverse function may operate.

If the automatic stop and reverse function activates more than twice during one opening or closing operation, the Power Trunk may stop in that position. In this case, close the trunk manually and operate the trunk automatically again.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury and damage, observe the following precautions when operating the power trunk:

- Keep all faces, hands, arms, body parts and other objects away from the power trunk path.
- Do not intentionally place body parts or objects in the power trunk path to check that automatic stop and reverse function works.
- Do not allow children to play with the power trunk.

To reset the power trunk

If the battery is discharged or disconnected, or if the related fuse has been replaced or removed, reset the Power Trunk as follows:

1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.

2. Close the trunk manually.

If the Power Trunk does not operate properly after performing the above procedure, have the system checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Trunk Lid Control Button

When the trunk lid control button is in the UNLOCK position (button not pressed), the Power Trunk can be controlled using the main trunk control button, the trunk open/close button and the smart key.

When the trunk lid control button is in the LOCK position (button pressed), the power trunk can be controlled only with the mechanical key of the smart key.

Even when the trunk lid control button is in the LOCK position (button pressed), the trunk will still be pushed up by mechanical force if the trunk is manually opened more than 10 degrees from the fully closed position. Additionally, if the trunk is manually closed to the secondary latch position, the trunk will be electrically driven to the fully closed position.

WARNING

  • Always keep the trunk lid control button in the LOCK (button pressed) position when not in use. Serious injury or death may result from unintentional operation by a child.
  • Make sure heads, other body parts or other obstacles are safely clear of the path before operating the power trunk.

CAUTION

Close the trunk and keep the trunk lid control button in the LOCK (button pressed) position before washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash.
