Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to 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 tem-
porarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
under the front (or rear) of the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle. 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 dis-
tance and at low speed. Also, the wheels,
axles, power train, steering and brakes
must all be in good condition.
 Do not use the towing hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other con-
ditions from which the vehicle cannot
be driven out under its own power.
 Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing.
 The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other frequent-
ly.  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.
 To avoid damaging the hook, do not pull from the side or at a vertical angle.
Always pull straight ahead.

CAUTION
 Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
 Using a portion of the vehicle other than the tow hooks for tow-ing may damage the body of yourvehicle.
 Use only a cable or chain specifi- cally intended for use in towingvehicles. Securely fasten thecable or chain to the towing hook provided.

What to do in an emergency
 Use a towing strap less than 16 feet (5m) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 12 inches (30 cm) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
 Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during towing.
Emergency towing precautions
 Turn the ignition switch to ACC so thesteering wheel isn’t locked.
 Place the transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral).
 Release the parking brake.
 Press the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
 More steering effort will be required because the power steering system
will be disabled.
 If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
 Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving manoeuvres which would
place excessive stress on the
emergency towing hook and tow-
ing cable or chain. The hook and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or dam-
age.
 If the disabled vehicle is unable to be moved, do not forcibly con-
tinue the towing. Contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer or a
commercial tow truck service for
assistance.
 Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible.
 Keep away from the vehicle dur- ing towing.

CAUTION - Automatic
transaxle
 If the car is being towed with allfour wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Besure that the transaxle is in neu-tral. Be sure the steering is unlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. Adriver must be in the towed vehi- cle to operate the steering and
brakes.
 To avoid serious damage to the automatic transaxle, limit thevehicle speed to 10 mph (15 km/h) and drive less than 1 mile (1.5
km) when towing.
 Before towing, check the auto- matic transaxle fluid leak underyour vehicle. If the automatic
transaxle fluid is leaking, aflatbed equipment or towing dollymust be used.

Maintenance

Check the condition and connections of all cooling system hoses and heater
hoses. Replace any swollen or deterio-
rated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F (MAX) and L (MIN) marks on
the side of the coolant reservoir when theengine is cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
specified coolant to provide protection
against freezing and corrosion. Bring the
level to F (MAX), but do not overfill. If fre-quent coolant refill is required, see a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer for a cool-ing system inspection.
Recommended engine coolant
 Use only soft (de-mineralized) water in
the coolant mixture.
 The engine in your vehicle has alu- minum engine parts and must be pro-
tected by an ethylene-glycol-based
coolant to prevent corrosion and freez-ing.
 DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the specifiedcoolant.
 Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less than
35% antifreeze, which would reduce
the effectiveness of the solution.
OLM079006
(Continued)
 Turn the engine off and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator 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 aresure 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 operat- ing, do not remove the radiatorcap or the drain plug whilst the
engine and radiator are hot. Hot
coolant and steam may still blow
out under pressure, causing seri-
ous injury.

Features of your vehicle
Inside rearview mirror
Adjust the rearview mirror to centre on
the view through the rear window. Make
this adjustment before you start driving.
Day/night rearview mirror
Make this adjustment before you start
driving and whilst the day/night lever is in
the day position.
Pull the day/night lever toward you to
reduce glare from the headlights of vehi-
cles behind you during night driving.
Remember that you lose some rearviewclarity in the night position.
Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical- ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensormounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and automati-cally controls the headlight glare from
vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into
reverse (R), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.

3. Setting the compass zone
1. Find your current location and vari-
ance zone number on the zone map.
2. Press and hold the button for more than 6 but less than 9 seconds. The
current zone number will appear in the
display.
3. Press the button until the new zone number appears in the display. After
you stop pressing the button in, the
display will show a compass direction
within a few seconds. 4. Changing Mirror Angle setting
(if equipped):
Due to mirror positions being angled
towards the driver, the compass mirror
can also compensate for drivers seated
on the Left Hand side of the vehicle
(steering wheel on the LH side of the
vehicle) or Right Hand side of the vehicle
(steering wheel on the RH side of the
vehicle).
To adjust the Left Hand, “L” or Right
Hand, “R”, setting:
1. Press and hold the button for more than 12 seconds.
2. Release then press the button to tog- gle between “L” and “R”.
✽✽ NOTICE
This procedure also causes the compass to be de-calibrated.
3. To re-calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle in 2 complete circles at less than 5mph (8km/h).
CAUTION
1. Do not install the ski rack, anten-
na, etc. which are attached to thevehicle by means of a magnet. They affect the operation of thecompass.
2. If the compass deviates from the correct indication soon afterrepeated adjustment, have the compass checked at a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
3. The compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tun-nels or whilst driving up or downa steep hill.
(The compass returns to the cor-rect compass point when thevehicle moves to an area wherethe geomagnetism is stabilized.)
4. When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar materialdampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directlyon the mirror as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mir-
ror housing.
