REVISION HISTORY

This TSB supersedes TSB # 24-EE-012H to update instrument cluster photos and add alternate procedure for vehicles equipped with CCNC/CCIC headunits.

DESCRIPTION

Hyundai vehicles are equipped with Dark Current Control logic, also called "Shipping Mode", to help reduce amperage draw and conserve battery State of Charge (SOC) while vehicles are in transit. This feature is active when the vehicle is in the key OFF state and will not affect vehicle functionality or performance.

This TSB outlines the procedure to change the Dark Current Control Mode using the vehicle User Setting Mode (USM) or GDS-Smart.

Hyundai highly recommends storing dealer stock vehicles in "Shipping Mode" and then setting the vehicle to "Customer Mode" when it is retailed and delivered to the customer.

Factory Mode	Dealer/Shipping Mode	Customer Mode (Standard Vehicle Mode)

Factory only Displays battery SOC Lowest dark current draw	When vehicle is shipped to dealer Displays battery SOC Mid-level dark current draw Recommended mode for dealer stock	When delivered to the customer Does NOT display battery SOC Retailed vehicle normal operation mode

NOTE:

Displays shown are for example only. Displays will vary by model.
Factory or Dealer/Shipping Mode automatically switches to Customer Mode when the odometer reaches 372 miles (600 km).

Applicable Vehicles: All models.
