Driving your vehicle
When using tyre chains:
• Wrong size chains or improperly installed chains can damage
your vehicle's brake lines, sus-
pension, 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, retight- en the chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).
• Do not use tyre chains on vehi- cles equipped with aluminium
wheels. If unavoidable, use a
wire type chain.
• Use wire chains less than 12 mm (0.47 in) 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 cool-
ing 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 chapter
7. 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 chap-
ter 8. When you are not sure about a
type of winter weight oil, consult a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect the spark plugs, as speci-
fied in chapter 7.
If necessary,
replace them. Also check all ignition
wirings and components for any
cracks, wear-out, and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being
frozen, spray approved de-icing fluid
or glycerin into key holes. When a
lock opening is already covered with
ice, spray approved de-icing fluid
over the ice to remove it. When an
internal part of a lock freezes, try to
thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.

Driving your vehicle
Ready to leave after parking ona hill
1. With the shift lever in P (Park, for
dual clutch transmission vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle), apply your brakes and
hold the brake pedal down whilst
you:
• Start your engine;
• Shift into gear; and
• Release the parking brake.
2. Slowly remove your foot from the brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks.
Maintenance when towing a
trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trail-
er. Important items to pay particular
attention to include engine oil, dual
clutch transmission fluid, axle lubri-
cant and cooling system fluid. Brake
condition is another important item to
frequently check. If you’re trailering,
it’s a good idea to review these items
before you start your trip. Don’t forget
to also maintain your trailer and tow-
bar. Follow the maintenance sched-
ule that accompanied your trailer and
check it periodically. Preferably, con-
duct the check at the start of each
day’s driving. Most importantly, all
towbar nuts and bolts should be
tight. To prevent vehicle damage:
• Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur
on hot days or during uphill driv-
ing. If the coolant gauge indi-
cates over-heating, switch off
the air conditioner and stop the
vehicle in a safe area to cool
down the engine.
• Do not switch off the engine whilst the coolant gauge indi-
cates over-heating.
(Keep the engine idle to cool
down the engine)
• When towing check dual clutch fluid more frequently.
• If your vehicle is not equipped with an air conditioner, you
should install a condenser fan
to improve engine performance
when towing a trailer.

EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in
the maintenance schedule. If the
vehicle is being driven in severe con-
ditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and dam-
age. We recommend that the fuel
lines, fuel hoses and connections be
replaced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Fuel filter (for Petrol Engine)
HYUNDAI petrol vehicle is equipped
a lifetime fuel filter that integrated
with the fuel tank. Regular mainte-
nance or replacement is not needed
but depends on fuel quality. If there
are some important safety matters
like fuel flow restriction, surging, loss
of power, hard starting problem etc,
fuel filter inspection or replace is
needed. We recommend that the fuel
filter be Inspected or replaced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Vapour hose and fuel filler cap
The vapour hose and fuel filler cap
should be inspected at those inter-
vals specified in the maintenance
schedule. Make sure that a new
vapour hose or fuel filler cap is cor-
rectly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi-
dence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration. Particular attention should be
paid to examine those hose surfaces
nearest to high heat sources, such
as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to ensure
that the hoses do not come in con-
tact with any heat source, sharp
edges or moving component which
might cause heat damage or
mechanical wear. Inspect all hose
connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are pres-
ent. Hoses should be replaced
immediately if there is any evidence
of deterioration or damage.
When you are inspecting the belt,
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF or ACC position.
