NOTICE
• The power liftgate (power tailgate)
can be operated when the engine is
not running. However the power
liftgate (power tailgate) operation
consumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the bat-
tery from being discharged, do not
operate it excessively.
• To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the power
liftgate (power tailgate) in the
open position for a long lime.
• Do not modify or repair any part of the power liftgate (power tail-
gate) by yourself. This must be
done by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• When jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle,
do not operate the power liftgate
(power tailgate). This could cause
the power liftgate (power tailgate)
to operate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the power liftgate (power tailgate) may
not work properly due to freezing
conditions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power liftgate (power tailgate) is
blocked by an object or part of the
body, the power liftgate (power tail-
gate) will detect the resistance.
If the resistance is detected while
opening the liftgate (tailgate), it will
stop and move in the opposite
direction.
If the resistance is detected while closing the liftgate (tailgate), it will
stop and move in the opposite
direction. However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin or
soft, or the liftgate (tailgate) is near
the latched position, the automatic
stop and reversal may not detect the
resistance.
If the automatic reversal feature
operates continuously more than
twice during opening or closing oper-
ation, the power liftgate (power tail-
gate) may stop at that position. At
this time, close the liftgate (tailgate)
manually and operate the liftgate
(tailgate) automatically again.

Driving your vehicle
Full-time AWD vehicles must betested on a special four wheel
chassis dynamometer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Never engage the parking brake
while performing these tests.
A full-time AWD vehicle should not
be tested on a 2WD roll tester. If a
2WD roll tester must be used, per-
form the following: 1. Check the tire pressures recom-
mended for your vehicle.
2. Place the front wheels on the roll tester for a speedometer test as
shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the rear wheels on the tem- porary free roller as shown in the
illustration.
WARNING - Jacked
vehicle
While a full-time AWD vehicle is
raised on a jack, never start the
engine or cause the tires to
rotate.
There is a danger that rotating
tires touching the ground could
cause the vehicle to fall off the
jack and to jump forward or
rearward.WARNING - Dynamometer
testing
Keep away from the front of the
vehicle while the vehicle is in
gear on the dynamometer. This
is very dangerous as the vehi-
cle can jump forward and cause
serious injury or death.

Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many miles (kilometers) you can get
from a gallon (liter) of fuel. To oper-
ate your vehicle as economically as
possible, use the following driving
suggestions to help save money in
both fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate. Don't make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possi-
ble. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption. Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tire
pressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
Section 7. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see
Section 7 for details).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.

Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.
Always move the vehicle com- pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tire. The jack should
be used on level firm ground.
If you cannot find a firm, level
place off the road, call a tow-
ing service company for
assistance.
Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never use
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jack support.
The vehicle can roll off the jack causing serious injury or
death. No person should
place any portion of their
body under a vehicle that is
supported only by a jack; use
vehicle support stands.
