Floor mat anchor(s) (if equipped)
OOS047067
ALWAYS use the floor mat anchors to
attach the front floor mats to the vehicle.
The anchors on the front floor carpet
keep the floor mats from sliding forward.
WARNING
The following must be observed when
installing ANY floor mat to the vehicle. • Ensure to remove a protective
film attached on the carpet
before attaching a floor mat on
the front floor carpet. Otherwise,
the floor mat may move freely on
the protective film and it could
result in unintentional braking or
accelerating.
• Ensure that the floor mats are
securely attached to the vehicle’s
floor mat anchor(s) before driving
the vehicle.
• Do not use ANY floor mat that cannot
be firmly attached to the vehicle’s
floor mat anchors.
• Do not stack floor mats on top of one
another (e.g. all-weather rubber mat
on top of a carpeted floor mat). Only
a single floor mat should be installed in each position.
• IMPORTANT - Your vehicle was
manufactured with driver’s side floor
mat anchors that are designed to
securely hold the floor mat in place.
To avoid any interference with pedal
operation, HYUNDAI recommends
that the HYUNDAI floor mat designed
for use in your vehicle be installed.

Roof rack (if equipped)
OOSEV048035
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof rack in such a way that it
could interfere with sunroof operation.
NOTICE
• When carrying cargo on the roof
rack, take the necessary precautions
to make sure the cargo does not
damage the roof of the vehicle.
• When carrying large objects on the
roof rack, make sure they do not
exceed the overall roof length or width.
WARNING
• The following specification is the
maximum weight that can be loaded
onto the roof rack. Distribute the
load as evenly as possible onto the
roof rack and secure the load firmly.
• Loading cargo or luggage in excess
of the specified weight limit on the
roof rack may damage your vehicle.
ROOF
RACK 80 kg (176 lbs.)
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
• The vehicle center of gravity will
be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof rack. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers or high speeds that may
result in loss of vehicle control or
rollover resulting in an accident.
• Always drive slowly and turn corners
carefully when carrying items on
the roof rack. Severe wind updrafts,
caused by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden upward
pressure on items loaded on the
roof rack. This is especially true
when carrying large, flat items such
as wood panels or mattresses. This
could cause the items to fall off the
roof rack and cause damage to your
vehicle or others around you.
• To prevent damage or loss of cargo
while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make
sure the items on the roof rack are
securely fastened.

Before entering the vehicle
• Be sure all windows, outside mirror(s),
and outside lights are clean and
unobstructed.
• Remove frost, snow, or ice.
• Visually check the tires for uneven
wear and damage.
• Check under the vehicle for any sign
of leaks.
• Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.
Before starting
• Make sure the hood, the tailgate, and
the doors are securely closed and
locked.
• Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.
• Adjust the inside and outside rearview
mirrors.
• Verify all the lights work.
• Fasten your seat belt. Check that all
passengers have fastened their seat belt.
• Check the gauges and indicators
in the instrument panel and the
messages on the instrument display
when the START/STOP button is in the ON position.
• Check that any items you are carrying
are stored properly or fastened down
securely.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions: • ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All
passengers must be properly belted
whenever the vehicle is moving.
For more information, refer to “Seat
Belts” in chapter 3.
• Always drive defensively. Assume
other drivers or pedestrians may be
careless and make mistakes.
• Stay focused on the task of driving.
Driver distraction can cause
accidents.
• Leave plenty of space between you
and the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and drive. Drinking or taking drugs and driving
is dangerous and may result in an
accident and SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH. Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Just
one drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions and
emergencies and your reaction time
gets worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence
of drugs is as dangerous or more
dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive. If you are drinking or
taking drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been drinking
or taking drugs. Choose a designated
driver or call a taxi.

level is maintained if the driver depresses
the brake pedal while the system is in
activation. Also, the system is cancelled
temporarily if the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
WARNING
The Smart Recuperation System which
automatically controls the regenerative
braking level when coasting is only a
supplemental system for the driver's
convenience. The system cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor avoid
all collisions. The brake control may
be insufficient depending on the
speed of the vehicle in front and when
the vehicle in front suddenly stops,
a vehicle cuts in suddenly and there
is a steep slope. Always look ahead
cautiously to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occurring.
