Safety system of your vehicle
Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Further
opening of the covers allows full
inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver's or the front pas-
senger's forward motion, reducing
the risk of head and chest injury. After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibili-
ty and the ability to steer or operate
other controls. To prevent objects from becom-
ing dangerous projectiles when
the passenger's air bag inflates:
•Do not install or place any
objects (drink holder, CD hold-
er, stickers, etc.) on the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box where the passen-
ger's air bag is located.
•Do not install a container of
liquid air freshener near the
instrument cluster or on the
instrument panel surface.

Driving your vehicle
• If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly whilst driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increas-
es as the depth of tyre tread
decreases, refer to "Tyre
Replacement" in chapter 7.
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 sev-
eral times whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing slowly.
Highway driving
Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tyres.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tyres, which may reduce traction or
fail the braking operation.
Information
Never over-inflate your tyres above
the maximum inflation pressure, as
specified on your tyres.
Fuel, engine coolant and engineoil
Driving at a high speed consumes
more fuel than driving at a slow
speed, such as in an urban area. Do
not forget to check both the engine
coolant and engine oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.

Driving your vehicle
Information
• The technically permissible maxi-mum load on the rear axle(s) may be
exceeded by not more than 15 %
and the technically permissible
maximum laden mass of the vehicle
may be exceeded by not more than
10% or 100 kg (220.4 lbs), whichev-
er value is lower. In this case, do not
exceed 62.1 mph (100 km/h) for
vehicle of category M1 or 49.7 mph
(80 km/h) for vehicle of category N1.
• When a vehicle of category M1 is towing a trailer, the additional load
imposed at the trailer coupling
device may cause the tyre maximum
load ratings to be exceeded, but not
by more than 15%. In this case, do
not exceed 62.1 mph (100 km/h) and
increase the tyre inflation pressure
by at least 0.2 bar.
If you decide to pull a trailer?
Here are some important points if
you decide to pull a trailer:
• Consider using a sway control. Youcan ask a trailer towbar dealer
about sway control.
• Do not do any towing with your vehicle during its first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) in order to allow the
engine to properly break in. Failure
to heed this caution may result in
serious engine or transaxle dam-
age.
• When towing a trailer, be sure to consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer for further information on
additional requirements such as a
towing kit, etc.
• Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (less than 60 mph 100
km/h)) or posted towing speed
limit. • On a long uphill grade, do not
exceed 45 mph (70 km/h) or the
posted towing speed limit,
whichever is lower.
• Carefully observe the weight and load limits provided in the following
pages.

What to do in an emergency
Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem
Each tyre, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.)As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under-inflated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to
tyre failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tyre pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tyre pressure
telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with
the low tyre pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehi-
cle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alter-
nate tyres or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tyres or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replace-
ment or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to func-
tion properly.
6
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tyre life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tyre failure that
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.

If any of the below happens, we
recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
1. The low tyre pressure telltale/TPMS malfunction indicator
does not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when Engine Start/Stop
button is turned to the ON or
engine is running.
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator remains illuminated after blink-
ing for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low tyre pressure position telltale remains illuminated.

When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and warning message dis-
played on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tyres is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The low tyre
pressure position telltale light will
indicate which tyre is significantly
under-inflated by illuminating the cor-
responding position light. If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tyres as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with a
spare tyre.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replacing the low pressure tyre
with the spare tyre, the below will
happen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illumi-
nated because the TPMS sensor is
not mounted on the spare wheel.
The spare tyre is not equipped with
a tyre pressure sensor.

malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi-
mately one minute when there is a
problem with the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System.
We recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
If there is a malfunction with the
TPMS, the low tyre pressure posi-
tion telltale will not be displayed
even though the vehicle has an
under-inflated tyre.
NOTICE
6
In winter or cold weather, the low
tyre pressure telltale may illumi-
nate if the tyre pressure was
adjusted to the recommended
tyre inflation pressure in warm
weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because
the decreased temperature leads
to a lowering of tyre pressure.
When you drive your vehicle
from a warm area to a cold area
or from a cold area to a warm
area, or the outside temperature
is higher or lower, you should
check the tyre inflation pressure
and adjust the tyres to the rec-
ommended tyre inflation pres-
sure.
CAUTION
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tyre pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased braking
distances.
Continued driving on low pres-
sure tyres can cause the tyres
to overheat and fail.

What to do in an emergency
You may not be able identify a low tyre
by simply looking at it. Always use a
good quality tyre pressure gauge to
measure the tyre's inflation pressure.
Please note that a tyre that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pres-
sure measurement than a tyre that is
cold (from sitting stationary for at least
3 hour and driven less than 1 mile (1.6
km) during that 3 hour period).
Allow the tyre to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating
to the recommended pressure.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour
period.

•The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre dam-
age caused by external factors
such as nails or road debris.
•If you feel any vehicle instabil-
ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually and with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.
WARNING
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may interfere with the
system's ability to warn the driv-
er of low tyre pressure condi-
tions and/or TPMS malfunctions.
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) com-
ponents may void the warranty
for that portion of the vehicle.

What to do in an emergency
It is possible that some tyres, espe-
cially with larger punctures or dam-
age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed
completely.
Air pressure loss in the tyre may
adversely affect tyre performance.
For this reason, you should avoid
abrupt steering or other driving
manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle
is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in
use.
The Tyre Mobility Kit is not designed
or intended as a permanent tyre
repair method and is to be used for
one tyre only. This instruction shows
you step by step how to temporarily
seal the puncture simply and reliably.
Read the section "Notes on the safe
use of the Tyre Mobility Kit".
Notes on the safe use of the
Tyre Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of the road so that you can work with the
Tyre Mobility Kit away from moving
traffic.
• To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
• Only use the Tyre Mobility Kit for sealing/inflation passenger car
tyres. Only punctured areas locat-
ed within the tread region of the
tyre can be sealed using the tyre
mobility kit.
• Do not use on motorcycles, bicy- cles or any other type of tyres.
• When the tyre and wheel are dam- aged, do not use Tyre Mobility Kit
for your safety.
• Use of the Tyre Mobility Kit may not be effective for tyre damage larger
than approximately 6 mm (0.24 in).
If the tyre cannot be made road-
worthy with the Tyre Mobility Kit,
we recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Do not use the TMK if a tyre is
severely damaged by driving run
flat or with insufficient air pres-
sure.
Only punctured areas located
within the tread region of the
tyre can be sealed using the
TMK.
