–	It turns on the head lamp and maintains the state for 20 minutes if ignition is turned off while the head lamp is on.

–	The head lamp remains on only for 30 seconds when the driver seat door is opened and closed during the 20-minute period.

–	The head lamp turns off when remote control lock button is pressed twice while the head lamp is on.

Head Lamp (Low Beam / High Beam)

Controls high beam / low beam depending on the head lamp switch (multi-functional switch).

Daytime Driving Light Control

Controls the daytime driving light lamp depending on the conditions at the time of vehicle start.

Internal Lamp

Engine Start Maintenance Button Lamp

Turns on/off the SSB lamp depending on vehicle power conditions, door open / closed status, and alert mode.

Room Lamp

Turns on/off the interior lamp depending on vehicle power conditions and door open / closed status.

Rheostat

Controls the brightness of interior electrical lamps (instrument cluster, HUD, AVN, etc.) depending on rheostat switch input.

Steering Wheel Heating Wire

Steering Wheel Heating Wire Control

Controls steering wheel heating wire based on steering wheel heating wire switch.

Trunk

Trunk Release Control

Releases the trunk lock and issues a warning depending on the trunk switch input.

Front / Rear Parking Assist

PAS Display

Receives a signal from parking assist sensor through LIN communication and displays it on the instrument cluster.

PAS Warning

Detects obstacles in front and rear sides using the parking assist sensor (PAS sensor) in the case of gear input (R or D) and issues a warning if there is an obstacle.

Warning

Seat Belt Reminder and Indicator Lamp

Issues a warning if the seat belt is not fastened, and prevents pattern activation if the vehicle is driven while the seat belt is not fastened.

Key Reminder Warning

Issues a warning if the driver seat door is open while ACC is on.

Parking Brake Warning

Generates a warning sound if vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h while IGN is on and parking brake is on.

Sunroof Open Warning

Issues a warning if the key is removed and the driver leaves the vehicle while the sunroof is open.

Wiper and Washer

Wiper (Low / High / Mist / Auto)

IBU receives wiper switch signal via B-CAN and sends the data to wiper motor (embedded) via LIN communication.

Front Washer

IBU sends the washer switch signal to front washer motor.

Smart Key Unit (SMK) Functions

SMK	Door Lock and Unlock	Locks/Unlocks the door based on the door unlock signal and the signal from push buttons on the driver seat / passenger seat outside handles.
	SMK Welcome Light	Controls door mirror and puddle lamp after smart key authentication when the driver with smart key approaches the vehicle.
	Smart Trunk	Opens the trunk if the driver with valid smart key stays in front of the rear bumper (within LF antenna range) for 3 seconds or more.
SMK Warning	Key Reminder 1	When the driver attempts to lock the door, it checks if there is a smart key inside the vehicle and unlocks the door if there is one.
	Key Reminder 2	Checks the door lock status for 0.5 seconds after the vehicle door is closed and unlocks the door and generates a warning sound using the external buzzer if the door is locked.
	Door Lock Warning 1	Generates a warning sound with the external buzzer if the driver tries to leave the vehicle while ACC or IGN is on.
	Door Lock Warning 2	Generates a warning sound with the external buzzer if the driver tries to lock the door and leave the vehicle while one or more doors are open.
	Door Lock Warning 3	Searches for a smart key inside the vehicle when the driver tries to lock the door, and issues a warning and does not lock the door if there is a smart key inside.
	Key Out Lamp Warning	If the vehicle moves at 3 km/h or less while ACC or IGN is on and the door is open, it searches for the smart key every 3 seconds and blinks the warning lamp if there is no smart key.
SMK RKE (Remote Keyless Entry)	Door Lock / Unlock	Locks/Unlocks the door based on the door unlock signal and the signal from push buttons on the driver seat / passenger seat outside handles.
	Panic	Performs vehicle panic and panic stop functions based on the panic button signal.
	Window Open	Opens/Closes vehicle window based on the smart key signal.
Engine Start		Start Stop Button (SSB), Immobilizer, Start Relay Power Control, SSB Lamp Control

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Functions

Tire pressure monitoring system continuously monitors pressure and temperature inside the tire in order to warn the driver of the changes in tire pressure that may have influence on vehicle driving conditions. TPMS control module analyzes the data from the WE (Wheel Electronic) sensor attached inside each wheel and determines the tire conditions and generates a signal that is necessary for warning lamp control.

Repair procedures

Diagnosis With KDS

In the body electrical system, failure can be quickly diagnosed by using the vehicle diagnostic system (KDS).

The diagnostic system (KDS) provides the following information.

(1)	Self diagnosis : Checking failure and code number (DTC)

(2)	Current data : Checking the system input/output data state

(3)	Actuation test : Checking the system operation condition

(4)	Additional function : Controlling other features including system option setting and zero point adjustment

2.	Select the "Car model" and the 'Integrated body control unit (IBU)' to be checked in order to check the vehicle with the tester.

3.	Select the 'Current Data' menu to search the current state of the input/output data.

4.	To forcibly actuate the input value of the module to be checked, select option 'Actuation Test'.

5.	If you want to change user option, select "User Option".

Removal

1.	Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

2.	Remove the crash pad center lower panel. (Refer to Body - "Crash pad center lower panel")

Disconnect the connector (A), then remove the IBU (B) after loosening the bolt and nuts.

Tightening torque : 9.6 - 9.8 N·m (0.7 - 1.0 kgf·m, 5.1 - 7.2 lb·ft)

Installation

1.	Install in the reverse order of removal.
