If you cannot put out the fire
immediately, the high voltage
battery may explode. Evacuate
to a safe place and do not let
other people approach the site.
Contact the fire department and
notify them of an electric vehi-
cle fire.
If the vehicle is flooded with
water, immediately turn OFF
the vehicle and evacuate to a
safe place. Contact the fire
department or a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
WARNING
If towing is required, lift all
four wheels off the ground
and tow the vehicle. If you
must tow the vehicle using
only two wheels, lift the front
wheels off the ground and tow
the vehicle.

If a small scale fire occurs,
use a fire extinguisher (ABC,
BC) that is meant for electrical
fires. If it is impossible to
extinguish the fire in the early
stage, remain a safe distance
from the vehicle and immedi-
ately call your local fire emer-
gency responders. Also,
advise them that an electric
vehicle is involved.
If the fire spreads to the high
voltage battery, large amount
of water is needed to put out
the fire. Using small amount
of water or fire extinguishers
not meant for electrical fires
could cause serious injury or
death from electrical shocks.

The radar sensor or camera isblocked with a foreign object or
debris
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night)
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
The windscreen glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is
obstructed
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations whilst
driving
Information
In some instances, the FCA system
may be cancelled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.
i
Do not use the Forward
Collision-avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system whilst towing
may adversely affect the safe-
ty of your vehicle or the tow-
ing vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
The FCA system is designed
to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Never try to test the operation
of the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.

Information
The ESC system (if equipped) must be
turned OFF before rocking the vehi-
cle.
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid vehicle overheating, pos-
sible damage to the reduction
gear and tyre damage. See
"Towing" in chapter 6.
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:
Slow down and keep more dis-tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if equipped)
Replace your windscreen wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windscreen.
Be sure your tyres have enough tread. If your tyres do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See "Tyre Tread" in chapter 7 .
Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.

What to do in an emergency
If the vehicle doesn't turn over
or turns over slowly
Be sure the gear is in P (Park). Thevehicle starts only when the gear is
in P (Park).
Check the 12-volt battery connec- tions 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. 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
highly combustible, and
may explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of
reach of children.

What to do in an emergency
7. Plug the compressor power cord (3) into the vehicle power outlet.
8. With the POWER button in the ON position, switch on the compres-
sor and let it run for approximately
5~7 minutes to fill the sealant up
to proper pressure. (Refer to the
Tyre and Wheels, chapter 8).
The inflation pressure of the tyre
after filling is unimportant and will
be checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the
tyre and stay away from the tyre
when filling it. 9. Switch off the compressor.
10. Detach the hoses from the
sealant bottle connector and
from the tyre valve.
Return the Tyre Mobility Kit to its
storage location in the vehicle.
Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately 4~6 miles (7~10 km or about 10
minutes) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tyre.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h). If possible, do not fall
below a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
Whilst driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive
with caution until you can safely pull
off of the side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tyre pressure is
below 29 psi (200 kpa). This
could result in an accident due
to sudden tyre failure.

What to do in an emergency
Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer 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 sus-
pension 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.
