EXTERIOR FEATURES
Roof side rails
OTM050017
If your vehicle comes with roof side rails,
then roof side rails crossbars can be
installed on top of your vehicle.
The roof side rails crossbars are an
accessory and are available at your
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof side rails in such a way
that it could interfere with sunroof
operation.
NOTICE

[ When carrying cargo on the roof side
rails, take the necessary precautions
to make sure the cargo does not
damage the roof of the vehicle.

[ When carrying large objects on the
roof side rails, 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 side rails. Distribute the
load as evenly as possible onto the
roof side rails and secure the load
firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in excess
of the specified weight limit on the
roof side rails may damage your
vehicle.
ROOF SIDE
RAILS 220 lbs. (100 kg)
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED

[ The vehicle center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded onto
the roof side rails. 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 side rails. Severe wind updrafts,
caused by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden upward
pressure on items loaded on the
roof side rails. 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 side rails 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 side rails are
securely fastened.

Towing
4WD vehicles must be towed with
a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more details, refer to
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection

[ If the vehicle needs to be operated on
a vehicle lift do not attempt to stop
any of the four wheels from turning.
This could damage the 4WD system.

[ Never engage the parking brake while
running the engine on a car lift. This
may damage the 4WD system.
Dynamometer testing
An 4WD vehicle must be tested on a
special four wheel chassis dynamometer.
OTM060016L[A] : Roll tester (Speedometer),
[B] : Temporary free roller
An 4WD vehicle should not be tested
on a 2WD roll tester. If a 2WD roll tester
must be used, perform the following
procedure:
1. Check the tire pressures
recommended for your vehicle.
2. Place the rear wheels on the roll tester for a speedometer test as shown in
the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the front wheels on the temporary free roller as shown in the
illustration.
WARNING
Keep away from the front of the vehicle
while the vehicle is in gear on the
dynamometer. The vehicle can jump
forward and cause serious injury or
death.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
Your multi-purpose passenger vehicle is
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).
SUV’s have higher ground clearance
and a narrower track to make them
capable of performing in a wide variety
of off-road applications. The specific
design characteristics give them a higher
center of gravity than ordinary vehicles
making them more likely to roll over if
you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles
have a significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles. Due to this
risk, driver and passengers are strongly
recommended to buckle their seat belts.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
There are steps that a driver can make
to reduce the risk of a rollover. If at all
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers, do not load your roof rack
with heavy cargo, and never modify your
vehicle in any way.

Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or damage
the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or fail the
braking operation.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified
on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more fuel and is less efficient
than driving at a slower, more moderate
speed. Maintain a moderate speed in
order to conserve fuel when driving on
the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine coolant
level and the engine oil before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.

possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers, do not load your vehicle
with heavy cargo on the roof, and never
modify your vehicle in any way.
WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. To prevent rollovers or loss of
control:

[Take corners at slower speeds than
you would with a passenger vehicle.

[ Avoid sharp turns and abrupt
maneuvers.

[ Do not modify your vehicle in any
way that you would raise the center
of gravity.

[ Keep tires properly inflated.

[ Do not carry heavy cargo on the roof.
WARNING
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt. Make sure
all passengers are wearing their seat
belts.

vehicle. However, performance
may reduce depending on the
pedestrians, animals, shape of
objects, location, for example,
around the vehicle.

[ For moving remotely in reverse,
both method (1) and (2) aligns the
steering wheel first, and then will
only move the vehicle straight.

[ When remotely moving forward or
in reverse is completed, the vehicle
will automatically shift to P (Park)
and engage EPB (Electronic Parking
Brake).

[ Frequently driving under high speed or rapid acceleration/deceleration

[ Frequently driving in stop-and-go conditions

[ Engine oil usage which is not recommended (Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Lower
grade spec, etc.)
If your vehicle is operated under the above conditions, you should inspect, replace or
refill more frequently than the following Normal Maintenance Schedule. After the periods
or distance shown in the chart, continue to follow the prescribed maintenance intervals.
Information
After driving more than 10 years or 100,000 miles, use severe maintenance schedule.
Information

[ As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should
be checked on regular basis.

[ The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the
recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not
used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe
operating conditions.

[ The vehicle may be equipped with the Oil Life Management System that predicts engine
oil life based on the driver’s driving history and alerts the driver to change engine oil.
- If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver’s driving
severity, the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster before the
normal engine oil replacement interval. Have the engine oil and filter changed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
- Oil Life Management System works when the recommended engine oil is used.
So, if recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according to the
maintenance schedule under severe usage conditions. Also, check the amount of engine
oil regularly as this system assumes that the engine oil is being filled norm\
ally.
- Always reset the remaining engine oil life whenever the engine oil is changed.
Otherwise, The indication of remaining Oil life in the Oil Life Management System
may not be accurate. To reset the Oil Change Reminder, select ‘RESET’ from the
infotainment system screen. Then, select ‘Yes’ when the message “Changed engine oil?
Press [Yes] to reset the oil life.” appears on the screen.
- If there is no alert until the maximum maintenance interval, have the vehicle c\
hecked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
