collision.
- The distance from the front vehicle
is near, or the vehicle speed of the
front vehicle is faster or similar to
your vehicle
- The speed of the front vehicle is very
slow or is at a standstill

right after Smart Cruise Control is
turned on
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Smart Cruise Control:

[ Smart Cruise Control does not
substitute for proper and safe
driving. It is the responsibility of the
driver to always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.

[ Smart Cruise Control may not
recognize unexpected and sudden
situations or complex driving
situations, so always pay attention to
driving conditions and control your
vehicle speed.

[ Keep Smart Cruise Control off when
the function is not in use to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.

[ Do not open the door or leave the
vehicle when Smart Cruise Control
is operating, even if the vehicle is
stopped.

[ Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle distance.

[ Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle distance is too close
during high-speed driving, a serious
collision may result.

[ When maintaining distance with
the vehicle ahead, if the front
vehicle disappears, Smart Cruise
Control may suddenly accelerate to
the set speed. Always be aware of
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring.

[ Vehicle speed may decrease on an
upward slope and increase on a
downward slope.

[ Always be aware of situations such
as when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.

[ When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, we recommend that
Smart Cruise Control is turned off
due to safety reasons.

[ Turn off Smart Cruise Control when
your vehicle is being towed.

Emergency Situations8-4
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, have a service technician or
towing service do it for you.
WARNING
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 present
in battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of
children.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is highly corrosive. 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 immediate 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 plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak. Lift with a
battery carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.

[ Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle if your battery is frozen.

[ NEVER attempt to recharge the
battery when the vehicle’s battery
cables are connected to the battery.

[ The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage. NEVER touch
these components with the engine
running or when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
Information
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health. Dispose of the battery
according to your local law(s) or
regulations.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle:

[Only use a 12-volt power supply
(battery or jumper system) to jump
start your vehicle.

[ Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle by push-starting.
Jump starting procedure
1. Position the vehicles close enough
that the jumper cables will reach, but
do not allow the vehicles to touch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the engine compartment at all times, even
when the vehicles are turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning, etc.
Put the vehicle in P (Park), and set the
parking brakes. Turn both vehicles
OFF.

causing serious injury or death to you or
those nearby. Take the following safety
precautions:

[Never place any portion of your body
under a vehicle that is supported by
a jack.

[ NEVER attempt to change a tire in
the lane of traffic. ALWAYS move 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. Follow these steps to change your
vehicle’s tire:
1. Park on a level, firm surface.
2. Shift the shift button into P (Park).
3. Press the hazard warning flasher
button.
4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench, jack, jack handle, and spare tire from

TOWING
Towing Service
OCN7070010If emergency towing is necessary, have it
done by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
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.
CAUTION

[ Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
OCN7070012

[Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use a wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
OCN7070011

[Do not tow the vehicle with four
wheels in contact with the ground if
it is the vehicle equipped with IVT.
Otherwise, the transmission will be
seriously damaged. Also, make sure
not to tow the vehicle connecting it
with other vehicles including camper
vans.

WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a
rollover sensor, place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF or ACC position
when the vehicle is being towed.
The side impact and curtain air bag
may deploy if the sensor detects the
situation as a rollover.
OCN7070095L
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Place the ignition switch in the ACC position.
2. Place the shift button in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the shift button in N
(Neutral) when being towed with the
front wheels on the ground can cause
internal damage to the transmission.
Removable Towing Hook
OCN7070013
1. Open the trunk, and remove the towing hook from the tool case.
OCN7070014
2. Remove the hole cover by pressing the lower part of the cover on the
bumper.
3. Install the towing hook by turning it clockwise into the hole until it is fully
secured.
4. Remove the towing hook and install the cover after use.

Emergency Towing
„Front
OCN7070015
„Rear
OCN7070016
If towing is necessary, have it done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial 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 towing 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 hard-surfaced roads for a short
distance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
CAUTION
The driver must be in the vehicle for
steering and braking operations when
the vehicle is being towed. Passengers
other than the driver must not be in the
vehicle.
Always follow these emergency towing
precautions:

[ Place the ignition switch in the ACC
position so the steering wheel is not
locked.

[ Place the shift button 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
frequently.

[ 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.
