„Rear
OBC3080020
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer 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 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
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.

Maintenance
Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule. If the vehicle
is being driven in severe conditions,
more frequent oil and filter changes are
required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence
of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked
periodically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
CAUTION
When you are inspecting the belt, place
the ignition switch to the lock/off or
ACC position.
Fuel filter (Except Europe)
A clogged filter can limit the speed
at which the vehicle may be driven,
damage the emission system and cause
multiple issues such as hard starting.
If an excessive amount of foreign
matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the
filter may require replacement more
frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and
check for leaks at the connections.
We recommend that the fuel filter be
replaced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Fuel filter (For Europe)
This petrol powered vehicle is equipped
with a lifetime fuel filter that is
integrated with the fuel tank. Regular
maintenance or replacement is not
needed; however, the quality of fuel
used may impact the frequency of
maintenance needed. If there are any
fuel related problems like fuel flow
restriction, surging, loss of power,
hard starting problem etc, fuel filter
inspection or replacement may be
needed. We recommend the fuel filter
be inspected or replaced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
We recommend that the fuel lines, fuel
hoses and connections be replaced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Vapour hose and fuel filler cap
The vapour hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those intervals
specified in the maintenance schedule.

WARNING
Do not remove a radiator cap/
engine coolant reservoir cap.

[Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap/engine coolant reservoir cap
whilst the engine is operating or hot.

[Doing so might lead to cooling
system failure and engine damage
and could result in serious personal
injury from escaping hot coolant or
steam.

[Turn the engine off and wait until
it cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap/
engine coolant reservoir cap. Wrap
a thick towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to the first
stop. Step back whilst the pressure is
released from the cooling system.
[When you are sure all the pressure
has been released, press down on the
cap, using a thick towel, and continue
turning counterclockwise to remove
it.

[Even if the engine is not operating,
do not remove the radiator cap/
engine coolant reservoir cap or the
drain plug whilst the engine and
radiator are hot. Hot coolant and
steam may still blow out under
pressure, causing serious injury.
WARNING
The electric motor (cooling
fan) is controlled by engine
coolant temperature,
refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed.
It may sometimes operate even when
the engine is not running. Use extreme
caution when working near the blades
of the cooling fan so that you are not
injured by a rotating fan blades. As the
engine coolant temperature decreases,
the electric motor will automatically
shut off. This is a normal condition.
The electric motor (cooling fan) may
operate until you disconnect the
negative battery cable.

Recommended engine coolant

[When adding coolant, use only
distilled (deionized) water for your
vehicle and never mix hard water in
the coolant filled at the factory. An
incorrect coolant mixture can result
in serious malfunction or engine
damage.

[The engine in your vehicle has
aluminium engine parts and must be
protected by an phosphate based
ethylene-glycol coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.

[DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the specified
coolant.

[Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze or less than
35% antifreeze, which would reduce
the effectiveness of the solution.
