WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT and 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Variable Charge Motion Actuator (VCMA) is installed on the inlet of the intake manifold.

It consists of a DC motor which actuates the VCM valve and a position sensor which detects the position of the VCM valve.

This tumble effect reduces cold start emissions by improving atomization
