NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage
to the transmission, and tyre damage.
See “Towing” in chapter 8.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:

The severe weather conditions of winter
quickly wear out tyres and cause other
problems. To minimise winter driving
problems, you should take the following
suggestions:
Snow or icy conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid
acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially
very hazardous practices. During
deceleration, use engine braking to the
fullest extent. Sudden brake applications
on snowy or icy roads may cause the
vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tyres or
to install tyre chains on your tyres.
Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to
carry include tyre chains, tow straps or
chains, a flashlight, emergency flares,
sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window
scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls,
a blanket, etc.
Snow tyres
WARNING
Snow tyres should be equivalent
in size and type to the vehicle’s
standard tyres. Otherwise, the safety
and handling of your vehicle may be
adversely affected.
If you mount snow tyres on your vehicle,
make sure to use radial tyres of the same
size and load range as the original tyres.
Mount snow tyres on all four wheels
to balance your vehicle’s handling in
all weather conditions. The traction
provided by snow tyres on dry roads
may not be as high as your vehicle’s
original equipment tyres. Check with
the tyre dealer for maximum speed
recommendations.

Tyre chains
OBC3060010
Since the sidewalls of radial tyres are
thinner than other types of tyres, they
may be damaged by mounting some
types of tyre chains on them. Therefore,
the use of snow tyres is recommended
instead of tyre chains. Do not mount
tyre chains on vehicles equipped with
aluminium wheels; if unavoidable use a
wire type chain. If tyre chains must be
used, use genuine HYUNDAI parts and
install the tyre chain after reviewing
the instructions provided with the tyre
chains. Damage to your vehicle caused
by improper tyre chain use is not
covered by your vehicle manufacturer’s
warranty.
NOTICE
If your vehicle has 215/45R17 or
205/55R17 size tyres do not use tyre
chain; they can damage your vehicle
(wheel, suspension and body).
WARNING
The use of tyre chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling:
[ Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h)
or the chain manufacturer’s
recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.
[ Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other road
hazards, which may cause the vehicle
to bounce.
[ Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel
braking.

& K D L Q , Q V W D O O D W L R Q
When installing tyre chains, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and mount
them as tightly possible. Drive slowly
(less than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with
chains installed. If you hear the chains
contacting the body or chassis, stop and
tighten them. If they still make contact,
slow down until the noise stops. Remove
the tyre chains as soon as you begin
driving on cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains, park
the vehicle on level ground away from
traffic. Turn on the vehicle Hazard
Warning Flasher and place a triangular
emergency warning device behind the
vehicle (if available). Always place the
vehicle in P (Park), apply the parking
brake and turn off the engine before
installing snow chains.
NOTICE
When using tyre chains:
[ Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage your
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension,
body and wheels.
[ Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.
[ If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to prevent contact with the
vehicle body.
[ To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.3~0.6 miles
(0.5~1.0 km).
[ Do not use tyre chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminium wheels. If
unavoidable, use a wire type chain.
[ Use wire chains less than 0.47 in (12
mm) wide to prevent damage to the
chain’s connection.
Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because it
helps prevent corrosion in the cooling
system, lubricates the water pump and
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or
replenish your coolant in accordance
with the maintenance schedule. Before
winter, have your coolant tested to
assure that its freezing point is sufficient
for the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in the chapter
9. The battery charging level can be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer or in a service station.
Change to “winter weight” oil if
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is
recommended to use the “winter
weight” oil with lower viscosity. For
further information, refer to the chapter
2. When you are not sure about a type
of winter weight oil, consult a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.

Trailer towing equipment
Towbars
OBC3060011
It's important to have the correct
towbar equipment. Crosswinds, large
trucks going by, and rough roads are a
few reasons why you’ll need the right
towbar. Here are some rules to follow:
[ Do you have to make any holes in the
body of your vehicle when you install
a trailer towbar? If you do, then be
sure to seal the holes later when you
remove the towbar. If you don’t seal
them, carbon monoxide (CO) from
your exhaust can get into your vehicle,
as well as dirt and water.
[ The bumpers on your vehicle are not
intended for towbars. Do not attach
rental towbars or other bumper-type
towbars to them. Use only a frame-
mounted towbar that does not attach
to the bumper.
[ A HYUNDAI trailer towbar accessory
is available at a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Safety chains
You should always attach chains
between your vehicle and your trailer.
Cross the safety chains under the
tongue of the trailer so that the tongue
will not drop to the road if it becomes
separated from the towbar. Instructions
about safety chains may be provided
by the towbar manufacturer or trailer
manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation for attaching safety
chains. Always leave just enough slack
so you can turn with your trailer. And,
never allow safety chains to drag on the
ground.
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a
braking system, make sure it conforms
your country’s regulations and that
it is properly installed and operating
correctly.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trailer
brakes loaded, then it needs its own
brakes and they must be adequate. Be
sure to read and follow the instructions
for the trailer brakes so you’ll be able
to install, adjust and maintain them
properly. Be sure not to tap into your
vehicle's brake system.
WARNING
Do not use a trailer with its own brakes
unless you are absolutely certain that
you have properly set up the brake
system. This is not a task for amateurs.
Use an experienced, competent trailer
shop for this work.

Driving your vehicle
Driving with a trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you must get to
know your trailer. Acquaint yourself with
the feel of handling and braking with the
added weight of the trailer. And always
keep in mind that the vehicle you are
driving is now longer and not nearly as
responsive as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer towbar
and platform, safety chains, electrical
connector(s), lights, tyres and brakes.
During your trip, occasionally check
to be sure that the load is secure, and
that the lights and trailer brakes are still
working.
Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when driving
your vehicle without a trailer. This can
help you avoid situations that require
heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You will need more passing distance up
ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And,
because of the increased vehicle length,
you’ll need to go much farther beyond
the passed vehicle before you can return
to your lane.
Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. Then, to move the trailer
to the left, move your hand to the left.
To move the trailer to the right, move
your hand to the right. Always back up
slowly and, if possible, have someone
guide you.
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make
wider turns than normal. Do this so your
trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, kerbs,
road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid
jerky or sudden manoeuvres. Signal well
in advance.
Turn signals
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has
to have a different turn signal flasher and
extra wiring. The green arrows on your
instrument panel will flash whenever you
signal a turn or lane change. Properly
connected, the trailer lights will also
flash to alert other drivers you’re about
to turn, change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows
on your instrument panel will flash for
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer
are burned out. Thus, you may think
drivers behind you are seeing your
signals when, in fact, they are not. It’s
important to check occasionally to be
sure the trailer bulbs are still working.
You must also check the lights every
time you disconnect and then reconnect
the wires.
WARNING
Do not connect a trailer lighting system
directly to your vehicle’s lighting
system. Use an approved trailer wiring
harness.
Failure to do so could result in damage
to the vehicle electrical system and/or
personal injury.
We recommend that you have the
system checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer as soon as possible.
