#229 of 258 Auto Headlights by cmw829 Apr 04, 2008 (12:59 pm)
I've had my 2008 Sonata a week and have noticed that the auto headlights don't turn on until it's quite dusky. Likewise, this morning, it was very rainy and darkish-cloudy, but they didn't come on.   Is there any way to change the sensitivity of the lights so that they will come on in lighter conditions?   Thanks.

Replying to: cmw829 (Apr 04, 2008 12:59 pm) Someone suggested a small strip of black electrical tape across the sensor bubble. The sensor is located on the dash, on the passenger side. The tape won't show unless it's the shiny type. Replies to this message: cmw829 (Apr 06, 2008 2:40 pm)
#231 of 258 Tilt and telescopic steering wheel in Sonata 2008 Limited by sonata4life Apr 04, 2008 (6:28 pm)
Folks,   I have a Tilt and Telescopic steering wheel as it comes standard with Limited and according to the manual, I can adjust the steering wheel forward or backward and upward or downward. But, for some reason, I can only move it up or down and not sideways...   What's the deal with the telescopic steering wheel? How is it supposed to work? Maybe, all I could do is adjust it up or down or ??? But, the manual clearly states that I can move it forward or backward too... Confused!   Thank you in advance for any and all replies!

Replying to: sonata4life (Apr 04, 2008 6:28 pm) The telescopic feature allows you to move the steering wheel back toward the driver or forward toward the dash.

Replying to: sonata4life (Apr 04, 2008 6:28 pm) Not sure what you mean by "sideways." But if the wheel doesn't seem to move towards the dash, or torwards you, it may just require a stiff tug to get it going. I've found a tug is needed on some cars with telescopic wheels for the initial adjustment. Try that--release the adjuster lever and give the wheel a sharp tug towards you.

Replying to: bobad (Apr 05, 2008 5:21 am) Thanks very much for your reply. Now to go outside and locate the sensor.

Replying to: backy (Apr 04, 2008 7:28 pm) Thank you and appreciate all the replies. I was just pushing it towards the dash and nothing was happening and was moving the steering wheel sideways to see whether there is any effect - nada! It didn't strike me to pull the wheel towards me as I didn't want to break sth After all, it can't be that fragile, can it   Well, this forum is great as it saved me a trip to the dealer, tho' I would have waited till I go for an oil change!
#236 of 258 1200 mile break-in for 2008 Sonata Limited V6 by sonata4life Apr 07, 2008 (7:34 pm)
Is it really necessary to follow the 55 mph limit, per the manual, for the first 1200 miles break-in for 2008 Sonata Limited V6?   It's really hard to drive in that speed in the highways... What did you all do when driving in highways during the first 1200 miles?   Thank you in advance for any and all replies!

Replying to: sonata4life (Apr 07, 2008 7:34 pm) I suspect they put that recommendation in for a reason. I didn't see it until I'd had a few 65 mph trips on the car.   I just get in the right-hand lane and set my cruise on 55 mph. Then defer to people entering the highway. Haven't had any problems yet.

Replying to: cmw829 (Apr 08, 2008 3:30 am) Well, I agree that they put that recommendation for a reason but in highways, where I live, people drive at 70+ and if they see someone like me at 55, they think that I am from a different plant.   Moreover, it's very dangerous to drive that slow when the traffic is going at full throttle and people cutting in from all places!
