Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Follow the jump
starting procedure in this section to
avoid serious injury or damage to
your vehicle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehicle, we
strongly recommend that you have a
service technician or towing service
do it for you.

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH to you or bystanders,
always follow these precautions
when working near or handling the
battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection
designed to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away
from the battery.
Hydrogen is always pres
ent in battery cells, is high
ly combustible, and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of
reach of children.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Batteries contain sulfuric
acid which is highly corro
sive. Do not allow acid to
contact your eyes, skin or
clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get immedi
ate medical attention. If acid gets
on your skin, thoroughly wash the
area. If you feel pain or a burning
sensation, get medical attention
immediately.
•When lifting a plasticcased bat
tery, excessive pressure on the
case may cause battery acid to
leak. Lift with a battery carrier or
with your hands on opposite cor
ners.
•Do not attempt to jump start
your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.
(Continued)
WARNING
•Improper jump starting proce
dure can result in battery explo
sion and acid burn hazard.
•Loosely connected battery
cables could damage the elec
tronic control units.
•To disconnect battery terminals
wait for at least 2 minutes to
allow discharge of high voltage
or it could lead to personal
injury.
•While disconnecting, always dis
connect the VE terminal first
and while connecting, always
connect the VE terminal last.

Information
If the TPMS indicator does not illumi
nate for 3 seconds when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position or
engine is running, or if it comes on
after blinking for approximately one
minute, we recommend that you con
tact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Low tire pressure tell
tale
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning indicator is illuminat
ed, one or more of your tires is sig
nificantly underinflated.
If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor
nering and anticipate increased stop
ping distances. You should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible.
Inflate the tires to the proper pres
sure as indicated on the vehicle’s
placard or tire inflation pressure label
located on the driver’s side center pil
lar outer panel. If you cannot reach a
service station or if the tire cannot
hold the newly added air, replace the
low pressure tire with the spare tire.
Then the Low Tire Pressure telltale
may flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated after restarting and about
20 minutes of continuous drivingbefore you have the low pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
i
In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illumi
nated if the tire pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tire
inflation pressure in warm weath
er. It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tire pres
sure.
When you drive your vehicle from
a warm area to a cold area or from
a cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature is greatly
higher or lower, you should check
the tire inflation pressure and
adjust the tires to the recommend
ed tire inflation pressure.
CAUTION

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure will come on. We recom
mend that the flat tire be checked by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec
ommended that you have your tires
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale will blink or remain
on until the low pressure tire is
repaired and placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale may blink or illumi
nate after a few minutes because the
TPMS sensor mounted on the spare
wheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tire is reinflat
ed to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or we
recommend that the TPMS sensor
mounted on the replaced spare
wheel be initiated by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer, the TPMS mal
function indicator and the low tire
pressure telltale will extinguish within
a few minutes of driving. If the indicator is not extinguished
after a few minutes of driving, We
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
We recommend that you use a
puncturerepairing agent
approved by HYUNDAI.
The sealant on the tire pressure
sensor and wheel shall be elemi
nated when you replace the tire
with a new one.
CAUTION
If original mounted tire is replaced
with the spare tire, the TPMS sen
sor on the replaced spare wheel
should be initiated and we recom
mend that the TPMS sensor on
the original mounted wheel be
deactivated by a HYUNDAI deal
er. If the TPMS sensor on the orig
inal mounted wheel located in the
spare tire carrier still activates, the
tire pressure monitoring system
may not operate properly. We rec
ommend that the system be serv
iced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Changing tires Follow these steps to change your
vehicle’s tire:
1. Park on a level, firm surface.
2. Move the shift lever into P (Park,for automatic transaxle vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transaxle
vehicle), apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
3. Press the hazard warning flasher button.
4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench, jack, jack handle, and spare tire
from the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear of the tire diagonally opposite of the tire
you are changing.
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a
jack causing serious injury or
death to you or those nearby.
Take the following safety precau
tions:
•Do not get under a vehicle that
is supported by a jack.
•NEVER attempt to change a tire
in the lane of traffic. ALWAYS
move the vehicle completely off
the road on level, firm ground
away from traffic before trying to
change a tire. If you cannot find
a level, firm place off the road,
call a towing service for assis
tance.
•Be sure to use the jack provided
with the vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•ALWAYS place the jack on the
designated jacking positions on
the vehicle and NEVER on the
bumpers or any other part of the
vehicle for jacking support.
•Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on the jack.
•Do not allow anyone to remain
in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.
•Keep children away from the
road and the vehicle.
WARNING

6-20
What to do in an emergency
If you have a tire gauge, check the
tire pressure (see “Tires and Wheels”
in chapter 8 for tire pressure instruc
tions.). If the pressure is lower or
higher than recommended, drive
slowly to the nearest service station
and adjust it to the recommended
pressure. Always reinstall the valve
cap after checking or adjusting tire
pressure. If the cap is not replaced,
air may leak from the tire. If you lose
a valve cap, buy another and install it
as soon as possible. After changing
tires, secure the flat tire and return
the jack and tools to their proper stor
age locations.
Information
Check the tire pressure as soon as pos
sible after installing a spare tire.
Adjust it to the recommended pres
sure.
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the studs and lug nuts. Make certain
during tire changing that the same
nuts that were removed are rein
stalled. If you have to replace your
lug nuts make sure they have metric
threads to avoid damaging the studs
and ensure the wheel is properly
secured to the hub. We recommend
that you consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
If any of the equipment such as the
jack, lug nuts, studs, or other equip
ment is damaged or in poor condi
tion, do not attempt to change the
tire and call for assistance.

What to do in an emergency
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial towtruck ser vice.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies
or flatbed is recommended. It is acceptable to tow the vehicle
with the rear wheels on the ground
(without dollies) and the front wheels
off the ground. If any of the loaded
wheels or suspension components
are damaged or the vehicle is being
towed with the front wheels on the
ground, use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the front of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the rear.
•Do not tow the vehicle with the
front wheels on the ground as this
may cause damage to the vehicle.
•Do not tow with slingtype equip
ment. Use a wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recom
mend you have it done by an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer or a commer
cial tow truck service. If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow
ing hook at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hardsurfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.
Always follow these emergency tow
ing precautions:
• Place the ignition switch in the
ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.
• Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
• Release the parking brake.
• Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced braking performance.
• More steering effort will be required because the power steering system
will be disabled.
• Use a vehicle heavier than your own to tow your vehicle.
• The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre
quently.
• Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or damaged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force.
