The Auto-dimming rearview mirror, when it detects light from outside of the vehicle or head lights of following traffic by the sensor, automatically darken the color of the mirror to mitigate the dazzle. Generally these mirrors have a layer of electrochromic (EC) gel between the reflecting surface and cover glass. The EC changes its color from transparent to dark blue when a voltage is applied. |
| 6. |
The Auto-dimming side mirror applies the same system used for the Auto-dimming rear view mirror. |

CVVT stands for Continuous Variable Valve Timing. The system varies opening/closing timing and lifts of intake and exhaust valves. |
| 2. |
The Theta four-cylinder engine is the one on which the World Engine co-developed by Chrysler/Mitsubishi/Hyundai Motor was based. The engine was first mounted on the Sonata released in August 2004.

| 3. |
The Lambda V6 engine family consists of 3.3L, 3.5L and 3.8L in displacement. On the Genesis Coupe, a Lambda RS (Rear-drive Sport) engine, which employs the CVVT system for intake and exhaust valves and delivers 306hp, is mounted. On the Genesis, an engine which employs the CVVT system for only intake valves and delivers 290hp is mounted. The Kia Sorento released in April 2009 is installed with a new 3.5L engine from the Lambda family (the European version of the model is planned to be installed with the same). |
| 4. |
The Tau V8 engine is a newly designed engine which was first installed in the Kia Borrego launched in the beginning of 2008. Three displacements of 4.6L, 5.0L and 5.5L are prepared (the 5.0L and 5.5L engines are for special version such as bulletproof vehicles sold in Korea). The 4.6L engine puts out 368hp on the Equus, 375hp on the Genesis and 337hp on the Borrego. |
| 5. |
The six-speed AT for the Equus was independently developed by Hyundai Automotive Group, and was first adopted on the Grandeur TG in January 2009. The transmission improves fuel efficiency by 12%, weighs 12kg less comparing with the conventional five-speed AT. And the company says that it is the most compact AT among six-speed AT employed by other companies. |

| 2-2. |
The U2 is a new engine which employs the second-generation common rail and injection pressure heightened from conventional 1,350atm to 1,600atm to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. The engine cleared EURO 4 emissions standards. Using the particulate filter, the engine is capable to clear EURO 5 emissions standards. Comparing with U1 1.6L engine, the U2 1.6L engine delivers improved maximum power from 116hp to 128hp (98kW) while maximum torque remains same at 260Nm. |
