2016 Hyundai Santa FE Owner’s Manual

The 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe turned out to be a versatile and capable crossover SUV that mixed usefulness, style, and a variety of features to meet the needs of different drivers. Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 design philosophy gave the Santa Fe a modern look, and the way it looked on the road was both lively and elegant. Inside, the cabin had comfy seats made of high-quality materials and technology that was easy to use. The 2016 Santa Fe could be set up with three rows of seats, which made it good for larger families or people who needed more room for cargo. The Santa Fe had a range of engines, including a powerful V6, and was designed to be both fast and good on gas. The 2016 Santa Fe tried to offer a balanced and enjoyable driving experience for both daily commutes and weekend trips, making it a competitive choice in the crossover SUV market.

Compass function

The Compass can be turned ON and OFF and will remember the last state when the ignition is cycled. To turn the display feature ON/OFF:2016 Hyundai Santa FE Owner's Manual-fig-1

  1. Press and release the button within 1 second to turn the display feature OFF.
  2. Press and release the button again within 1 second to turn the display back ON.

Additional options can be set with press and hold sequences of the button and are detailed below. There is a difference between magnetic north and true north. To compensate for this difference you will need to adjust the Zone setting based on where you live.

To adjust the Zone setting

  1. Determine the desired Zone Number based upon your current location on the Zone Map.
  2. Press and hold the button for 6 seconds, the current Zone Number will appear on the display.
  3. Pressing and holding the button again will cause the numbers to increment (Note: they will repeat …13, 14, 15, 1, 2, …). Releasing the button when the desired Zone Number appears on the display will set the new Zone.
  4. Within about 5 seconds the compass will start displaying a compass heading again.

There are some conditions that can cause changes to the vehicle magnets, such as installing a ski rack or a CB antenna. Body repair work on the vehicle can also cause changes to the vehicle’s magnetic field. In these situations, the compass will need to be re-calibrated to quickly correct these changes.

If you need to recalibrate the compass:

  1. Press and hold the button for more than 9 seconds. When the compass memory is cleared a “C” will appear in the display.
  2. Drive the vehicle in 2 complete circles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

Integrated HomeLink® Wireless Control System
The HomeLink® Wireless Control System can replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters with a single built-in device. This innovative feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to operate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems, even home lighting. Both standard and rolling code-equipped transmitters can be programmed by following the outlined procedures. Additional HomeLink® information can be found at: www.homelink.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515. Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink® programming. It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink® buttons be erased for security purposes.

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.

Programming HomeLink®

Please note the following:

  • When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park the vehicle outside of the garage.
  • It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink® for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
  • Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be placed in the ACC (or “Accessories”) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink®.
  • In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions after following the programming steps listed below, contact HomeLink® at: www.homelink.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515.

    • If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed and released.
    • If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns to aconstant light, continue with “Programming” steps 5-7 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener).
  5. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
  6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color of the button vary by manufacturer). There are 30 seconds to initiate step 7.
  7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for 2 seconds and release the programmedHomeLink® button. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code-equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process.

HomeLink® should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
