Do not let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. When
there is the risk that your parking
brake may freeze, temporarily apply
it with the shift lever in P (Park). Also,
block the rear wheels in advance, so
the vehicle may not roll. Then,
release the parking brake.Do not let ice and snow accumu-
late underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in such conditions during the
severe winter, you should check
underneath the vehicle on a regular
basis, so ensure that the front
wheels and the steering components
is unblocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather condi-
tions, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment, whilst driv-
ing. Some of the items you may want
to carry include tyre chains, tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emer-
gency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves,
ground cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.Do not place objects or materials
in the engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the
engine compartment may cause an
engine failure or combustion,
because they may block the engine
cooling. Such damage will not be
covered by the manufacturer's war-
ranty.

Driving your vehicle
Two labels on your driver’s door sill
show how much weight your vehicle
was designed to carry: the Tyre and
Loading Information Label and the
Certification Label.
Before loading your vehicle, familiar-
ize yourself with the following terms
for determining your vehicle's weight
ratings, from the vehicle's specifica-
tions and the Certification Label:
Base Kerb Weight
This is the weight of the vehicle
including a full tank of fuel and all
standard equipment. It does not
include passengers, cargo, or option-
al equipment.
Vehicle Kerb Weight
This is the weight of your new vehicle
when you picked it up from your deal-
er plus any aftermarket equipment.
Cargo Weight
This figure includes all weight added
to the Base Kerb Weight, including
cargo and optional equipment.GAW (Gross Axle Weight)
This is the total weight placed on
each axle (front and rear) - including
vehicle kerb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum allowable
weight that can be carried by a single
axle (front or rear). These numbers
are shown on the Certification Label.
The total load on each axle must
never exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)
This is the Base Kerb Weight plus
actual Cargo Weight plus passen-
gers.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating)
This is the maximum allowable
weight of the fully loaded vehicle
(including all options, equipment,
passengers and cargo). The GVWR
is shown on the Certification Label
located on the driver’s door sill.

The Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) and the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) for your
vehicle are on the Certification
Label attached to the driver's
(or front passenger’s) door.
Exceeding these ratings can
cause an accident or vehicle
damage. You can calculate the
weight of your load by weighing
the items (and people) before
putting them in the vehicle. Be
careful not to overload your
vehicle.

The hazard warning flasher serves as
a warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.
It should be used whenever emer-
gency repairs are being made or
when the vehicle is stopped near the
edge of a roadway.To turn the hazard warning flasher
on or off, press the hazard warning
flasher button with the ignition switch
in any position. The button is located
in the centre fascia panel. All turn
signal lights will flash simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher oper-
ates whether your vehicle is run-
ning or not.
The turn signals do not work when
the hazard flasher is on.
If the engine stalls whilst driv-
ing
Reduce your speed gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
Turn on your hazard warning flasher.
Try to start the engine again. If your
vehicle will not start, we recom-
mend that you contact an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroads or
crossing, if safe to do so, move the
shift lever to the N (Neutral) position
and then push the vehicle to a safe
location.

What to do in an emergency
If you have a flat tyre whilst
driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driv-
ing:
Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down whilst driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
When the vehicle has slowed to
such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes.
When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
move the shift lever into P (Park),
apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/
OFF position. Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
When changing a flat tyre, follow
the instructions provided later in
this chapter.

What to do in an emergency
Hybrid vehicle
Be sure the shift lever is in P
(Park). The vehicle starts only
when the shift lever is in P (Park).
This vehicle does not have a regu-
lar 12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion poly-
mer type integrated into the HEV
high voltage battery. The vehicle
has a 12V battery protection sys-
tem that cuts 12V battery from
vehicle draw to prevent full dis-
charge. If vehicle will not start, first
try pressing the 12V Battery Reset
switch (left side of the steering
wheel near the fuel door open
switch) to reconnect the 12V bat-
tery, but you must start vehicle
within 15 seconds of pressing the
12V Battery Reset switch. After
starting vehicle, operate the vehi-
cle safely outdoors in ready mode
stopped and/or drive it for 30 min-
utes total to charge the 12V battery
fully. Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the vehicle still does not start, we
recommend that you call an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer for assis-
tance.
Plug-in hybrid vehicle
Be sure the shift lever is in P
(Park). The vehicle starts only
when the shift lever is in P (Park).
Check the battery connections to
be sure they are clean and tight.
Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could cause damage to
your vehicle.See instructions for
"Jump Starting" provided in this
chapter.
Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the vehicle still does not start, we
recommend that you call an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer for assis-
tance.Push or pull starting the vehicle
may cause the catalytic convert-
er to overload which can lead to
damage to the emission control
system.
CAUTION
Push or pull starting the vehicle
may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overload which can
lead to damage to the emission
control system.

What to do in an emergency
Before jump starting
This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the HEV high
voltage battery. The vehicle has a
12V battery protection system that
cuts 12V battery from vehicle draw to
prevent full discharge.
Using the 12V battery reset
switch
1. Press the 12V Battery Reset
switch to reconnect the 12V bat-
tery.
2. Start the vehicle within 15 sec-
onds of pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch.
3. After starting vehicle ( indica-
tor on), operate the vehicle safely
outdoors in ready mode stopped
and/or drive it for 30 minutes total
to charge the 12V battery fully.If you do not start the vehicle imme-
diately after pressing the 12V Battery
Reset switch, the power of 12V bat-
tery is automatically disconnected
after few seconds to save the 12V
battery from additional discharge. If
the 12V battery is disconnected prior
to starting the vehicle, press the 12V
Battery Reset switch again and then
immediately start the vehicle as
explained.
Repeated use of the 12V Battery
Reset switch without a sufficient
engine ON cycle (30 Min+) may
cause over discharge of the 12V bat-
tery, which will prevent the vehicle
from starting. If the 12V battery is
over discharged to a point that the
reset does not work, try to jump-start
the vehicle.
Information
After starting the vehicle ( indica-
tor on), the 12V battery is being
charged whether the engine is running
or not. Although there is no engine-
sound, it is unnecessary to depress the
accelerator pedal.
