Driving your vehicle
Don’t 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. If there is a risk
the parking brake may freeze, apply
it only temporarily while you put the
shift lever in N (for Automated Manual
Transmission) or in first or reverse gear
(for manual transmission) and block the
rear wheels so the vehicle cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake.
Don’t let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in severe winter conditions where this
may happen, you should periodically
check underneath the car to be sure the
movement of the front wheels and the
steering components is not obstructed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment. Some of the
items you may want to carry include tire
chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight,
emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
Don’t place foreign objects
or materials in the engine
compartment
Placement of foreign objects or
materials which prevent cooling of the
engine, in the engine compartment,
may cause a failure or combustion. The
manufacturer is not responsible for the
damage caused by such placement.

If you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
• Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately 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 N (Neutral,
for Automated manual transmission)
or neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle), 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 tire, follow the
instructions provided later in this
chapter.
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT
START
If the engine doesn’t turn over
or turns over slowly
• Be sure the for Automated manual
transmission or N (Neutral) if it is a
vehicle. The engine starts only when
the shift lever is in N (Neutral).
• 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.
WARNING
Push or pull starting the vehicle may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload which can lead to damage to
the emission control system.
If the engine turns over normally
but doesn’t start
• Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the engine still does not start, we
recommend that you call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

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
disconnect the -VE terminal first and
while connecting, always connect the
-VE terminal last.
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.
i Information
Pb
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to the
environment and human health.
Dispose the battery according to
your local law(s) or regulation.
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 vehicles in N (Neutral,

NOTICE
If original mounted tire is replaced
with the spare tire, the TPMS sensor
on the replaced spare wheel should be
initiated and we recommend that the
TPMS sensor on the original mounted
wheel be deactivated by a HYUNDAI
dealer. If the TPMS sensor on the
original mounted wheel located in the
spare tire carrier still activates, the
tire pressure monitoring system may
not operate properly. We recommend
that the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
You may not be able to identify a low
tire by simply looking at it. Always use
a good quality tire pressure gauge to
measure the tire’s inflation pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pressure
measurement than a tire that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle is in parked
position for at least 3 hours or driven
less than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that period.
Allow the tire to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
NOTICE
We recommend that you use the tire
sealant approved by HYUNDAI if your
vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. The liquid sealant
can damage the tire pressure sensors.
WARNING
TPMS
• The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused by
external factors such as nails or road
debris.
• If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off
the accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually and with light force, and
slowly move to a safe position off the
road.
WARNING
Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or disabling
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may interfere with
the system’s ability to warn the driver
of low tire pressure conditions and/
or TPMS malfunctions. Tamper-ing
with, modifying, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the war-ranty for
that portion of the vehicle.

While operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of the
exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes
in the vehicle.
• Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice any increased steering
effort or looseness in the steering
wheel, or change in its straight-ahead
position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns
slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling on smooth, level road.
• When stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission occurs,
check the transmission fluid level.
• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
• Check the coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
• Check the inflation pressures of all
tires including the spare for tires that
are worn, show uneven wear, or are
damaged.
• Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year
(i.e., every Spring and Fall):
• Check the radiator, heater and air
conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.
• Check the windshield washer spray
and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with clean cloth dampened
with washer fluid.
• Check the headlight alignment.
• Check the muffler, exhaust pipes,
shields and clamps.
• Check the lap/shoulder belts for wear
and function.
At least once a year:
• Clean the body and door drain holes.
• Lubricate the door hinges and checks,
and hood hinges.
• Lubricate the door and hood locks and
latches.
• Lubricate the door rubber
weatherstrips.
• Check the air conditioning system.
• Inspect and lubricate Automated
manual transmission linkage and
controls.
• Clean the battery and terminals.
• Check the brake/clutch fluid level.

We recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer to replace
most vehicle light bulbs. It is difficult
to replace vehicle light bulbs because
other parts of the vehicle must be
removed before you can get to the bulb.
This is especially true for removing the
headlight assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to the
vehicle.
WARNING
Prior to replacing a light, depress the
foot brake, move the shift lever into the
N (Neutral, for Automatic transmission
vehicle) or neutral (for manual
transmission vehicle), apply the parking
brake, place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position, and take the key
with you when leaving the vehicle to
avoid sudden movement of the vehicle
and to prevent possible electric shock.
Be aware the bulbs may be hot and may
burn your fingers.
NOTICE
Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb
with one of the same wattage rating.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to the
fuse or electric wiring system.
i Information
The headlight and tail lamp lenses could
appear frosty if the vehicle is washed after
driving or the vehicle is driven at night
in wet weather. This condition is caused
by temperature difference between the
lamp inside and outside and, it does not
indicate a problem with your vehicle.
When moisture condenses in the lamp,
it will be removed after driving with the
headlight on. The removable level may
differ depending on lamp size, lamp
position and environmental condition.
However, if moisture is not removed, we
recommend that your vehicle is inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING
Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired, dry
the brakes by applying them lightly
while maintaining a slow forward
speed.

NOTICE
• Water washing in the engine
compartment including high pressure
water washing may cause the failure
of electrical circuits located in the
engine compartment.
• Never allow water or other liquids
to come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the
vehicle as this may damage them.
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle
(if equipped)
Automatic car wash which uses
rotating brushes should not be used
as this can damage the surface of your
vehicle. A steam cleaner which washes
the vehicle surface at high temperature
may result the oil to adhere and leave
stains that is difficult to remove.
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfiber towel
or sponge) when washing your vehicle
and dry with a microfiber towel. When
you hand wash your vehicle, you should
not use a cleaner that finishes with
wax. If the vehicle surface is too dirty
(sand, dirt, dust, contaminant, etc.),
clean the surface with water before
washing the car.
Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle
before waxing. Use a good quality
liquid or paste wax, and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Wax all
metal trim to protect it and to maintain
its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials
with a spot remover will usually strip the
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle
does not yet need waxing.

Maintenance
Bright-metal maintenance
• To remove road tar and insects, use
a tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
• To protect the surfaces of bright-metal
parts from corrosion, apply a coating
of wax or chrome preservative and rub
to a high luster.
• During winter weather or in coastal
areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, accelerated
rusting can occur on the underbody
parts such as the fuel lines, frame,
floor pan and exhaust system, even
though they have been treated with rust
protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody
and wheel openings with lukewarm
or cold water once a month, after off-
road driving and at the end of each
winter. Pay special attention to these
areas because it is difficult to see all
the mud and dirt. It will do more harm
than good to wet down the road grime
without removing it. The lower edges
of the doors, rocker panels, and frame
members have drain holes that should
not clog with dirt; trapped water in these
areas can cause rusting.
WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired, dry
the brakes by applying them lightly
while maintaining a slow forward
speed.
Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated with a
clear protective finish.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaner,
polishing compound, solvent, or wire
brushes on aluminum wheels. They
may scratch or damage the finish.
• Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
• Use only a mild soap or neutral
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
water. Also, be sure to clean the
wheels after driving on salted roads.
This helps prevent corrosion.
• Avoid washing the wheels with high-
speed car wash brushes.
• Do not use any alkaline or acid
detergent. It may damage and corrode
the aluminum wheels coated with a
clear protective finish.
