If you do decide to pull a trailer
Here are some important points if you
decide to pull a trailer:
 Consider using a sway control. You can
ask a towbar dealer about sway con- trol.
 Do not do any towing with your car dur- ing its first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) in
order to allow the engine to properly
break in. Failure to heed this caution
may result in serious engine or
transaxle damage.
 When towing a trailer, we recommend that you consult a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer on additional require-
ments such as a towing kit, etc.
 Always drive your vehicle at a moderate speed (less than 60 mph (100 km/h)).
 On a long uphill grade, do not exceed 45 mph (70 km/h) or the posted towing
speed limit, whichever is lower.

Weight of the trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be? It
should never weigh more than the maxi-
mum trailer weight with trailer brakes. But
even that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use your
trailer. For example, speed, altitude, road
grades, outside temperature and how
often your vehicle is used to pull a trailer
are all important. The ideal trailer weight
can also depend on any special equip-
ment that you have on your vehicle.
Weight of the trailer nose
The nose weight of any trailer is an
important weight to measure because it
affects the total gross vehicle weight
(GVW) of your vehicle. This weight
includes the kerb weight of the vehicle,
any cargo you may carry in it, and the
people who will be riding in the vehicle.
And if you will tow a trailer, you must add
the nose weight to the GVW because
your vehicle will also be carrying that
weight.The trailer tongue should weigh a maxi-
mum of 10% of the total loaded trailer
weight, within the limits of the maximum
permissible trailer tongue load. After
you've loaded your trailer, weigh the trail-
er and then the tongue, separately, to
see if the weights are proper. If they
aren’t, you may be able to correct them
simply by moving some items around in
the trailer.
WARNING -
Trailer
 Never load a trailer with more weight in the rear than in the
front. The front should be loaded
with approximately 60% of the
total trailer load; the rear should
be loaded with approximately40% of the total trailer load.
 Never exceed the maximum weight limits of the trailer or trail-
er towing equipment. Improper
loading can result in damage to
your vehicle and/or personal
injury. Check weights and loading
at a commercial scale or highway
patrol office equipped withscales.
 An improperly loaded trailer can cause loss of vehicle control.C190E02JM

ROAD WARNING
Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle. It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the vehi-cle is stopped near the edge of a road-
way.
Depress the flasher switch with the igni-
tion switch in any position. The flasher
switch is located in the centre console
switch panel. All turn signal lights will
flash simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or not.
 The turn signals do not work when the hazard flasher is on.
 Care must be taken when using the hazard warning flasher whilst the vehi-
cle is being towed.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
If engine cannot be cranked
1. If your vehicle has an automatic
transaxle, be sure the shift lever is in N
(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer-
gency brake is set.
2. Check the battery terminals and con- nections to ensure that these are cleanand also tight.
3. If the interior lights dim when the engine is cranked and the battery ter-
minals have been checked, a dis-
charged battery is indicated.
4. Do not attempt to push or tow start the vehicle, refer to "Jump Starting" for
information regarding engine starting
when the battery is discharged. F030200AFD
If engine turns over normally but
does not start
1. Check fuel level.
2. With the ignition switch in the LOCK/
OFF position, check all connectors at
ignition, coil and spark plugs.
Reconnect any that may be discon-
nected or loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine com- partment.
4. If the engine still does not start, we recommend that you call a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
WARNING
If the engine refuses to start, no attempt should be made to push or
tow start the vehicle. Vehicles withautomatic transaxle or fuel injec-
tion will not be able to be started inthis manner since no drive is trans-
mitted through the automatictransaxle whilst the engine is not
running, and in the case of fuel
injected derivatives, the fuel pump
will not operate under tow start
conditions. In addition, if the vehi-
cle is equipped with an exhaust cat-
alyst, damage to the catalyst may
result if the vehicle is tow started.

What to do in an emergency
EMERGENCY STARTING
Connect cables in numerical order and
disconnect in reverse order. Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to
yourself or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow the jump starting proce-
dures. If in doubt, we strongly recom-
mend that you have a competent techni-
cian or towing service jump start your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
You can damage a 12-volt starting motor, ignition system, and otherelectrical parts beyond repair by
use of a 24-volt power supply (eithertwo 12-volt batteries in series or a 24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING - Battery
• Keep all flames or sparks away from the battery. The battery pro-
duces hydrogen gas which may
explode if exposed to flame orsparks.
If these instructions are not fol-
lowed exactly, serious personal
injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur! If you are not sure
how to follow this procedure,
seek qualified assistance.
Automobile batteries contain sul-
furic acid. This is poisonous and
highly corrosive. When jump
starting, wear protective glasses
and be careful not to get acid on
yourself, your clothing or on the
vehicle.
 Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle if the discharged battery
is frozen or if the electrolyte level
is low; the battery may rupture or
explode.
WARNING - Battery
Never attempt to check the elec-
trolyte level of the battery as this
may cause the battery to rupture or
explode causing serious injury.

Jump starting procedure 1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-volt
and that its negative terminal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illustration. First
connect one end of a jumper cable to
the positive terminal of the discharged
battery (1), then connect the other end
to the positive terminal on the booster
battery (2). Proceed to connect one end
of the other jumper cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery (3), then
the other end to a solid, stationary,
metallic point (for example, the engine
lifting bracket) away from the battery (4).
Do not connect it to or near any part that
moves when the engine is cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to con-
tact anything except the correct battery
terminals or the correct ground. Do not
lean over the battery when making con-
nections. 5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the
booster battery and let it run at 2,000
rpm, then start the engine of the vehi-
cle with the discharged battery.If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, we recommend that the system be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped vehicle
should not be push-started because itmight damage the emission control sys-tem.
Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started.
Follow the directions in this section for
jump-starting.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.
CAUTION - Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of the booster battery to the negative ter-minal of the discharged battery. This can cause the discharged bat-tery to overheat and crack, releas-ing battery acid.
CAUTION -AGM battery (if equipped)
 AAbsorbent Glass Matt (AGM)
batteries are maintenance-free
and we recommend that the sys-tem be serviced by a HYUNDAIauthorised repairer. For chargingyour AGM battery, use only fully
automatic battery chargers thatare specially developed for AGM batteries.
 When replacing the AGM battery, we recommend that you use partsfor replacement from a HYUNDAIauthorised repairer.
 Do not open or remove the cap on top of the battery. This may cause
leaks of internal electrolyte thatcould result in severe injury.
 If the AGM battery is reconnected or replaced, ISG function will not
operate immediately.
If you want to use the ISG func-tion, the battery sensor needs to be calibrated for approximately 4hours with the ignition off.

TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an under infla-
tion warning at the same time as sys-
tem failure then it will illuminate the
TPMS malfunction indicator.
We recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
WARNING - Low pressure
damage
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased brakingdistances.
Continued driving on low pres- sure tyres can cause the tyres
to overheat and fail.CAUTION
 The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if thevehicle is moving around elec- tric power supply cables orradios transmitter such as atpolice stations, government and public offices, broadcast-ing stations, military installa-tions, airports, or transmitting towers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of theTyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
 The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may illuminate if snowchains or some separatelypurchased devices such as notebook computers, mobilecharger, remote starter, navi-gation etc. are used in the vehicle. This can interfere withnormal operation of the TyrePressure Monitoring System(TPMS).

Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. We recommend that the
system be checked by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer. Each wheel is equipped with a tyre pressure sensor mounted inside the
tyre behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you have your tyres
serviced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer. Even if you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure and Position telltales will
remain on until the low pressure tyre
is repaired and placed on the vehi-
cle.
After you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illuminate
after a few minutes because theTPMS sensor is not mounted on thespare wheel.
Once the low pressure tyre is rein- flated to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or the
new TPMS sensor mounted on the
wheel, the TPMS malfunction indica-
tor and the low tyre pressure and
position telltales will extinguish within
a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator is not extinguished
after a few minutes of driving, werecommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
CAUTION
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by HYUNDAI.The sealant on the tyre pressure sensor and wheel shall be elim-inated when you replace thetyre with a new one.
CAUTION
 The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if thevehicle is moving around elec-tric power supply cables orradios transmitter such as at police stations, governmentand public offices, broadcast-ing stations, military installa- tions, airports, or transmittingtowers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of the Tyre Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).
 The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may be illuminated if snowchains are used or some sep- arate electronic devices suchas notebook computers,mobile charger, remote starter or navigation etc., are used inthe vehicle. This can interferewith normal operation of the Tyre Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).

8. With the engine start/stop buttonposition on or ignition switch posi-
tion on, switch on the compressor
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 infla-tion 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 tyrewhen filling it. 9. Switch off the compressor.
10. Detach the hoses from the
sealant bottle connector and
from the tyre valve.
Return the TyreMobilityKit to its stor-
age location in the vehicle. Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately
4~6 miles (7~10 km or, about
10min) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tyre.
WARNING - Carbon
monoxide
Do not leave your vehicle run-
ning in a poorly ventilated area
for extended periods of time.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
and suffocation can occur.
CAUTION - Tyre pressure
Do not attempt to drive your
vehicle if the tyre pressure isbelow 200kpa(29 PSI). This could result in an accident dueto sudden tyre failure.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 80km/h (50 mph). If possible, donot fall below a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).
Whilst driving, if you experienceany unusual vibration, ride dis-turbance or noise, reduce yourspeed and drive with caution until you can safely pull off ofthe side of the road.
Call for road side service or tow-ing. When you use the TyreMobility Kit, the tyre pressure sensors and wheel may be dam-
aged by sealant, remove thesealant stained with tyre pres- sure sensors and wheel andinspect in authorized dealer.
