battery HYUNDAI TUCSON 2015 Owners Manual

F9
Introduction
As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correct-
ly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (high-
er ground clearance, track, etc.) give
this vehicle a higher center of gravity
than other types of vehicles. It is not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as a conventional 2-wheel
drive sedans or sports coupe. Avoid
sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.
Failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.Be sure
to read the “Reducing the risk of a
rollover” driving guidelines, in
chapter 5 of this manual.No special break-in period is
needed. By following a few simple
precautions for the first 600 miles
(1,000 km) you may add to the
performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is
needed to properly break-in the
engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of opera-tion.

Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle from theft. If an improperly
coded key (or other device) is used,
the engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, the immobilizer sys-
tem indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, the system does not recognize
the coding of the key.
Place the ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF position, then place the
ignition switch to the ON positionagain.
The system may not recognize your
key’s coding if another immobilizer
key or other metal object (i.e., key
chain) is near the key. The engine
may not start because the metal may
interrupt the transponder signal from
transmitting normally. If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of the key, con-
tact your HYUNDAI dealer. Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your vehicle inoperable.

The trip computer is a microcomput-
er-controlled driver information sys-
tem that displays information related
to driving.
✽✽NOTICE
All driving information stored in the
trip computer (except Odometer
and Distance to empty) resets if the
battery is disconnected.
Trip Modes
Push the button to select the follow- ing modes:
Tripmeter
This mode indicates the distance of
individual trips selected since the
last tripmeter reset.
The meter's working range is from 0.0 to 999.9 miles (0.0 to 9999.9 km).
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the tripmeter is
displayed, clears the tripmeter to

Distance to empty
This mode indicates the estimated distance to empty based on the cur-rent fuel in the fuel tank and the
amount of fuel delivered to the
engine. When the remaining distance
is below 30 miles (50 km), “----” will
be displayed and the distance to
empty indicator will blink.
The meter’s working range is from 30 to 9999 miles (50 to 9999 km).
Average fuel consumption
This mode calculates the average fuel consumption from the total fuelused and the distance since the last
average consumption reset.
Pressing the TRIP button for more
than 1 second, when the average
fuel consumption is displayed, clears
the average fuel consumption to zero(--.-).
✽✽NOTICE
The average fuel consumption is not
displayed for more accurate calcula-
tion if the vehicle is not driven more
than 10 seconds or 0.186 miles (300
meters) since the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
✽
✽ NOTICE
 If the vehicle is not on level ground or the battery power has been
interrupted, the distance to empty
function may not operate correctly.
 The distance to empty may differ from the actual driving distance as
it is an estimate of the available
driving distance.
 The trip computer may not register additional fuel if less than 1.6 gal-
lons (6 liters) of fuel are added to
the vehicle.
 The fuel economy and distance to empty may vary significantly based
on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.

system checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
With smart key system
If any of the following occurs in a vehi-
cle equipped with the smart key, the
immobilizer indicator illuminates, blinks
or goes off.
When the smart key is in the vehi- cle, if the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ACC or ON position, the
indicator will illuminate for approxi-mately 30 seconds to indicate that
you are able to start the engine.
