WARNING
Never adjust the sunroof or roller blind while driving. This could
result in loss of control and an
accident that may cause death,
serious injury, or property dam-
age.
HYUNDAI does not recommend installing a roof rack on a vehicle
with the panoramic sunroof.
All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints reduce serious or fatal injuries
for all occupants in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.
WARNING
Do not allow children operate the
sunroof. Closing a sunroof on
someone can cause serious injury,
and in some cases, even death.

Roof rack (if equipped)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
✽✽
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a
panoramic sunroof, it is not recom-
mended that an aftermarket roof rack
be installed.
CAUTION
When carrying cargo on the roof rack, take the necessary precau-tions to make sure the cargo does
not damage the roof of the vehicle.
When carrying large objects on the roof rack, make sure they donot exceed the overall roof length
or width.
When you are carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not operate the
sunroof (if equipped).
OLM049206
WARNING
The following specification is the maximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible onto roof rack and
secure the load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof rack may dam-
age your vehicle.

WARNING
Do not place objects on the cargo security screen. Such objects
may be thrown about inside the
vehicle and possibly injure vehi-
cle occupants during an accident or when braking.
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is
designed for luggage only.
Maintain the balance of the vehi- cle and locate the weight as far
forward as possible.
CAUTION
Since the cargo security screen
may be damaged or malformed, do not put the luggage on it when it is
used.

Features of your vehicle
✽✽NOTICE
If you install an aftermarket HID head-
lamp, your vehicle's audio and electron-
ic device may malfunction.
Antenna
Roof antenna
Your vehicle uses a roof antenna to
receive both AM and FM broadcast sig-
nals. This antenna is removable. To
remove the antenna, turn it counterclock-
wise. To install the antenna, turn it clock-
wise.
OHM048154
■
Type A ■Type B
CAUTION
• Before entering a place with a low
height clearance or a car wash,remove the antenna by rotating it
counterclockwise. If not, theantenna may be damaged.
When reinstalling your antenna, it is important that it is fully tight-
ened and adjusted to the uprightposition to ensure proper recep-tion. But it could be removed
when parking the vehicle or whenloading cargo on the roof rack.
When cargo is loaded on the roof rack, do not place the cargo near
the antenna pole to ensure properreception.
AUDIO SYSTEM
(Continued)
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 anaccident.
Always drive slowly and turn cor- ners 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 car-
rying large, flat items such as
wood panels or mattresses. Thiscould 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 fre-
quently before or while driving to
make sure the items on the roof
rack are securely fastened.

521
Driving your vehicle
✽✽NOTICE
 Do not drive in water if the level is higher than the bottom of the vehicle.
 Check your brake condition once you
are out of mud or water. Press the
brake pedal several times as you move
slowly until you feel normal braking
forces return.
 Shorten your scheduled maintenance interval if you drive in off-road condi-
tions such as sand, mud or water (see
“Maintenance under severe usage
conditions” in section 7). Always wash
your vehicle thoroughly after off road
use, especially cleaning the bottom of
the vehicle.
 Since the driving torque is always
applied to the 4 wheels the perform-
ance of the AWD vehicle is greatly
affected by the condition of the tires.
Be sure to equip the vehicle with four
tires of the same size and type.
 A full time four wheel drive vehicle cannot be towed by an ordinary tow
truck. Make sure that the vehicle is
placed on a flat bed truck for moving.Reducing the risk of a rollover
This 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. Specific design characteris-
tics give them a higher center of gravity
than ordinary vehicles. An advantage of
the higher ground clearance is a better
view of the road, which allows you to
anticipate problems. They are not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger vehi-
cles, any more than low-slung sports
cars are designed to perform satisfactori-
ly in off-road conditions. Due to this risk,
driver and passengers are strongly rec-
ommended to buckle their seat belts. In
a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
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.
CAUTION - Mud or snow
If one of the front or rear wheels
begins to spin in mud, snow, etc.the vehicle can sometimes be driv-
en out by depressing the accelera-tor pedal further; however avoid
running the engine continuously athigh rpm because doing so could
damage the AWD system.
WARNING - AWD driving
Avoid high cornering speed.
Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at high speed.
In a collision, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die
compared to a person wearing a seat belt.
Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver over
steers to re-enter the roadway. In
the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
