[Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a buildup of
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any item
or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. If you must re-enter
the vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by
touching a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other gasoline source, with your
bare hand.

[ When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place the
container on the ground prior to
refueling. Static electricity discharge
from the container can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun, contact
between your bare hand and the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.

[ Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry and
store gasoline.

[ When refueling, always move the
shift lever to the P (Park) position (for
Intelligent variable transmission),
set the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch to the LOCK/
OFF position. Sparks produced by
electrical components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors causing
a fire.

[ Do not use matches or a lighter and
do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette
in your vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.
[Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.

[ If a fire breaks out during refueling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager
of the gas station and then contact
the local fire department. Follow any
safety instructions they provide.

[ If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can
cover your clothes or skin and thus
subject you to the risk of fire and
burns. Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap is
venting fuel or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until the condition stops
before completely removing the cap.

[ Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.
Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle according
to the “Fuel Requirements” suggested in
the Introduction chapter.
NOTICE

[Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces may
damage the paint.

[ If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can result
in a serious malfunction of the fuel
system or emission control system.

EXTERIOR FEATURES
Roof Side Rails (if equipped)
OQXI049063
If your vehicle comes equipped with roof
side rails, then roof side rails crossbars
can be installed on top of your vehicle.
The roof side rails crossbars are an
accessory and are available at your local
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof side rails in such a way
that it could interfere with sunroof
operation.
NOTICE

[When carrying cargo on the roof side
rails, take the necessary precautions
to make sure the cargo does not
damage the roof of the vehicle.

[ When carrying large objects on the
roof side rails, make sure they do
not exceed the overall roof length or
width.
WARNING

[The following specification is the
maximum weight that can be loaded
onto the roof side rails. Distribute the
load as evenly as possible onto the
roof side rails and secure the load
firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in excess
of the specified weight limit on the
roof side rails may damage your
vehicle.
ROOF SIDE
RAILS 220 lbs. (100 kg) EVENLY
DISTRIBUTED

[The vehicle center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded onto
the roof side rails. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers or high speeds that may
result in loss of vehicle control or
rollover resulting in an accident.

[ Always drive slowly and turn corners
carefully when carrying items on the
roof side rails. Severe wind updrafts,
caused by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden upward
pressure on items loaded on the
roof side rails. This is especially true
when carrying large, flat items such
as wood panels or mattresses. This
could cause the items to fall off the
roof side rails and cause damage to
your vehicle or others around you.

[ To prevent damage or loss of cargo
while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make sure
the items on the roof side rails are
securely fastened.

Before Entering the Vehicle

[Be sure all windows, outside mirror(s),
and outside lights are clean and
unobstructed.

[ Remove frost, snow, or ice.

[ Visually check the tires for uneven
wear and damage.

[ Check under the vehicle for any sign
of leaks.

[ Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.
Before Starting

[Make sure the hood, the liftgate, and
the doors are securely closed and
locked.

[ Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.

[ Adjust the inside and outside rearview
mirrors.

[ Verify all the lights work.

[ Fasten your seatbelt. Check that
all passengers have fastened their
seatbelts.

[ Check the gauges and indicators
in the instrument panel and the
messages on the instrument display
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.

[ Check that any items you are carrying
are stored properly or fastened down
securely.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:

[ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All
passengers must be properly belted
whenever the vehicle is moving.
For more information, refer to "Seat
Belts" in chapter 3.

[ Always drive defensively. Assume
other drivers or pedestrians may be
careless and make mistakes.

[ Stay focused on the task of driving.
Driver distraction can cause
accidents.

[ Leave plenty of space between you
and the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING
NEVER drink alcohol or take drugs and
drive.
Drinking alcohol or taking drugs and
driving is dangerous and may result in
an accident and SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Just
one drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions and
emergencies and your reaction time
gets worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence
of drugs is as dangerous or more
dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive. If you are drinking or
taking drugs, don't drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been drinking
or taking drugs. Choose a designated
driver or call a taxi.

OQX069002L
Manual shift mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
mo
tion, manual shift mode is selected by
pushing the shift lever from the D (Drive)
position into the manual gate. To return
to D (Drive) range operation, push the
shift lever back into the main gate.
In manual shift mode, moving the shift
lever backwards and forwards will allow
you to select the desired range of gears
for the current driving conditions.
+ (Up): Push the lever forward once to shift up one gear.
- (Down): Pull the lever backwards once to shift down one gear.
Information

[Only the eight forward gears can be
selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.

[ Downshifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically
selected.

[ When the engine rpm approaches the
red zone the transmission will upshift
automatically.

[ If the driver presses the lever to + (Up)
or - (Down) position, the transmission
may not make the requested gear
change if the next gear is outside of the
allowable engine rpm range. The driver
must execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, taking care to
keep the engine rpms below the red
zone.

[ When accelerating from a stop on
a slippery road, push the shift lever
forward into the + (Up) position. This
allows the transmission to shift into the
2nd gear which is better for smooth
driving on a slippery road. Push the
shift lever to the - (Down) side to shift
back to the 1st gear.

[ When driving in Manual Shift Mode,
slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged if the engine rpms are
outside of the allowable range.
