Driving your vehicle
Weight of the trailerHow 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 noseThe 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 approximately
40% 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 with
scales.
 An improperly loaded trailer can cause loss of vehicle control.

Driving your vehicle74
5This section will guide you in the proper
loading of your vehicle and/or trailer, to
keep your loaded vehicle weight within its
design rating capability, with or without a
trailer. Properly loading your vehicle will
provide maximum return of the vehicle
design performance. Before loading your
vehicle, familiarize yourself with the fol-
lowing terms for determining your vehi-
cle's weight ratings, with or without a
trailer, from the vehicle's specifications
and the compliance label:
Vehicle kerb weight
This is the weight of the vehicle including
fuel, driver and all standard equipment.
Payload
This is the weight of passengers, lug-
gage and any optional equipment
installed.
GAW (Gross axle weight)
This is the total weight placed on each
axle (front and rear) - including vehicle
kerb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross axle weight rating)This is the maximum allowable weight
that can be carried by a single axle (front
or rear). These numbers are shown on
the compliance label.
The total load on each axle must never
exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross vehicle weight)
This is the maximum allowed weight of
the vehicle, contents, passengers and
optional equipment.
GVWR (Gross vehicle weight rating)
This is the maximum allowable weight of
the fully loaded vehicle (including all
options, equipment, passengers and
cargo). The GVWR is shown on the cer-
tification label located on the driver's (or
front passenger's) door sill.
Overloading
VEHICLE WEIGHT
WARNING -
Vehicle weight
The gross axle weight rating
(GAWR) and the gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR) for your vehi-
cle are on the certification label
attached to the driver's (or front
passenger’s) door. Exceeding
these ratings can cause an acci-
dent or vehicle damage. You can
calculate the weight of your load by
weighing the items (and people)
before putting them in the vehicle.
Be careful not to overload your
vehicle.

What to do in an emergency26ROAD 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.

What to do in an emergency
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILST DRIVINGIf the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing If the engine stalls at a crossroad orcrossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
 If your vehicle has a manual transaxle not equipped with a ignition lock
switch, the vehicle can move forward
by shifting to the 2(second) or 3(third)
gear and then turning the starter with-
out depressing the clutch pedal.
If a puncture occurs whilst driv-
ing the vehicle1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is safe to do so and with the minimum
amount of braking required which will
assist in maintaining the maximum
amount of control. The vehicle should
be parked wherever possible upon firm
level ground to facilitate wheel chang-
ing.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not permit the
wheel to be changed safely, assis-
tance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to remain inside the vehicle during wheel
changing. If a puncture occurs whilst
the vehicle is on a motorway, the pas-
sengers should take refuge on the
motorway embankment to avoid the
possibility of injury occurring should
the vehicle be struck by other motor-
way traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be performed according to the following instructions.
If engine stalls whilst driving1. Reduce your speed gradually, keepinga straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, we recommend
that you contact a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.

What to do in an emergency46IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT STARTIf engine cannot be cranked1. If your vehicle has an automatictransaxle, 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 clean
and 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.
If engine turns over normally but
does not start1. 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 with
automatic transaxle or fuel injec-
tion will not be able to be started in
this manner since no drive is trans-
mitted through the automatic
transaxle 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 STARTINGConnect 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 or
sparks.
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.
 Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper cables to touch. It may
cause sparks.
 The battery may rupture or explode when you jump start with
a low or frozen battery.
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.

What to do in an emergency66Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-voltand 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 isnot apparent, we recommend that the system be checked by a HYUNDAIauthorised repairer.Push-starting Your manual transaxle-equipped vehicle
should not be push-started because it
might 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 cablefrom the negative terminal of thebooster 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-freeand 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 causeleaks of internal electrolyte thatcould result in severe injury.
 If the AGM battery is reconnected or replaced, ISG function will notoperate immediately.
If you want to use the ISG func-tion, the battery sensor needs to be calibrated for approximately 4hours with the ignition off.

What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATSIf your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, you experience a loss of power,
or hear loud pinging or knocking, the
engine is probably too hot. If this hap-
pens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as itis safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (automatic transaxle) or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out
from the bonnet, stop the engine. Do
not open the bonnet until the coolant
has stopped running or the steaming
has stopped. If there is no visible loss
of engine coolant and no steam, leave
the engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is operat-
ing. If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive belt is missing. If it is not missing,
check to see that it is tight. If the drive
belt seems to be satisfactory, check
for coolant leaking from the radiator,
hoses or under the vehicle. (If the air
conditioning had been in use, it is nor-
mal for cold water to be draining from
it when you stop). 5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or engine coolant is leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and we recom-
mend that you call a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer. 6. If the cause of the overheating cannot
be found, wait until the engine temper-
ature has returned to normal. Then, if
coolant has been lost, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir to bring the
fluid level in the reservoir up to the
base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the
coolant expansion tank to the halfway
mark. To ensure the correct water to
coolant mix is obtained after top up,
testing by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer is required.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. If over-
heating happens again, we recom-
mend that you call a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
CAUTION
 Serious loss of coolant indicates there is a leak in the cooling sys-tem and we recommend that the system be checked by a HYUNDAIauthorised repairer.
 When the engine overheats from low engine coolant, suddenlyadding engine coolant may causecracks in the engine. To prevent damage, add engine coolantslowly in small quantities.
WARNING
Whilst the engine is running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away from
moving parts such as the fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This can
allow coolant to be blown out of the
opening and cause serious burns.

What to do in an emergency86TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS, IF EQUIPPED) (TYPE A)Low tyre pressure telltale /
TPMS malfunction indicator
Each tyre, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.)As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under-inflated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to
tyre failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tyre pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tyre pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with
the low tyre pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehi-
cle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tyres or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tyres or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function proper-
ly.
