What to do in an emergency
6
• Use a towing cable or chain lessthan 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12
inches) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during towing.
• Before towing, check the automatic transaxle/dual clutch transmission
for fluid leaks under your vehicle. If
the automatic transaxle fluid is
leaking, flatbed equipment or a
towing dolly must be used. To avoid damage to your vehicle
and vehicle components when
towing:
•Always pull straight ahead
when using the towing hooks.
Do not pull from the side or at
a vertical angle.
•Do not use the towing hooks
to pull a vehicle out of mud,
sand or other conditions from
which the vehicle cannot be
driven out under its own
power.
•Limit the vehicle speed to
10 mph (15 km/h) and drive
less than 1 mile (1.5 km) when
towing to avoid serious dam-
age to the automatic transaxle.

Maintenance
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
• Check the windscreen washer fluid level.
• Check for low or under-inflated tyres.
Whilst operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of exhaust
fumes in the vehicle.
• Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when
travelling on smooth, level road.
• When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or
“hard-to-push” brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transaxle occurs,
check the transaxle fluid level.
• Check the automatic transaxle/ dual clutch transmission P (Park)
function.
• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in
coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.
WARNING
Diesel Engine
Never manipulate or modify the
injection system whilst running
the diesel engine or within 30
seconds after turning OFF the
diesel engine. The high-pres-
sure pump, high-pressure
pipes, rail, and injectors are still
subject to the high pressure
right after stopping the diesel
engine.
When the fuel leakage vents
out, it may cause serious body
injury. Any people, who are
implemented with the artificial
cardiac pacemaker, should
remain away from the ECU or
the wiring harness by at least 30
cm, whilst running the diesel
engine. The high currents of the
electric engine control system
produce a considerable amount
of magnetic fields.

Maintenance
The use of a non-specified fluid
could result in transaxle malfunc-
tion and failure.
Use only specified automatic
transaxle fluid.
(Refer to “Recommended lubri-
cants and capacities” in chapter 8.)
Manual transaxle fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transaxle fluid
according to the maintenance sched-
ule.
Dual clutch transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the dual clutch transmission
fluid according to the maintenance
schedule.
Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and
any leakage. Replace any deteriorat-
ed or damaged parts immediately.
Brake/Clutch fluid (if equipped)
Check brake fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir. The level should be
between “MIN” and “MAX” marks on
the side of the reservoir. Use only
hydraulic brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification.
Parking brake
Inspect the parking brake system
including the parking brake lever and
cables.
Brake pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and
calipers for fluid leakage.
For more information on checking
the pads or lining wear limit, refer to
the HYUNDAI web site.

Suspension mounting bolts
Check the suspension connections
for looseness or damage. Retighten
to the specified torque.
Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine
off, check for excessive free-play in
the steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or dam-
age. Check the dust boots and ball
joints for deterioration, cracks, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
Drive shafts and boots
Check the drive shafts, boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration, or
damage. Replace any damaged
parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease.
Air conditioning refrigerant/
compressor
Check the air conditioning lines and
connections for leakage and dam-
age.
