The 07 Santa Fe comes with two map lights a center dome light, a rear hatch light on top and a cargo area light. First generation Santas do not allow the map lights to come on automatically when a door is opened. The center dome and rear hatch top have three settings, on/off/door. The cargo area light comes on with the opening of the rear hatch. Second generation Santas allow the map lights to come on when a door is opened. At this point it is unclear if you have the ability to set them like the dome and rear hatch.

I have a SF Limited w/sunroof. The map lights are located between the rearview mirror and the front of the sunroof.
The ceiling dome light is located directly above the second row seat back. There is also a cargo light mounted on the right side below the rear window that comes on when the rear hatch is raised. I don't have the third row seating and that lighting may be different.

How to identify the first gen v/s 2nd gen? Is there a prod. cut off date? How can I find when my SantaFe was manufactured?

Prod date is on the driver's side ...look at the door pillar facing towards the rear and you will find it on a sticker....enjoy

1st and 2nd generation

I read that someone said there is now a first and second generation Santa Fe and that you could check the inside door panel. Mine was made August 2006, which I am assuming is a first generation. My map lights do not come on when opening the doors. Are there other differences that anyone is aware of between the two generations of vehicles?
Thanks,
Karen

Karen - XM radio was added in the 'second generation', I'm not sure if there were any other changes.

The 2nd generation has map lights that come on when you open the door and XM radio. Mine has a production date of February 07. Was your SF a demo? It seems it sat on the lot a long time.
