WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Smart Cruise Control:
• Smart Cruise Control does not
substitute for proper and safe
driving. It is the responsibility of the
driver to always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
• Smart Cruise Control may not
recognize unexpected and sudden
situations or complex driving
situations, so always pay attention to
driving conditions and control your
vehicle speed.
• Keep Smart Cruise Control off when
the function is not in use to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
• Do not open the door or leave the
vehicle when Smart Cruise Control
is operating, even if the vehicle is
stopped.
• Always be aware of the selected
speed and vehicle distance.
• Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle distance is too close
during high-speed driving, a serious
collision may result.
• When maintaining distance with
the vehicle ahead, if the front
vehicle disappears, Smart Cruise
Control may suddenly accelerate to
the set speed. Always be aware of
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring.
• Vehicle speed may decrease on an
upward slope and increase on a
downward slope.
• Always be aware of situations such
as when a vehicle cuts in suddenly.
• When you are towing a trailer or
another vehicle, we recommend that
Smart Cruise Control is turned off
due to safety reasons.
• Turn off Smart Cruise Control when
your vehicle is being towed. •
Smart Cruise Control may not
operate normally if interfered by
strong electromagnetic waves.
• Smart Cruise Control may not
detect an obstacle in front and lead
to a collision. Always look ahead
cautiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.
• Vehicles moving in front of you with
a frequent lane change may cause
a delay in Smart Cruise Control
reaction or may cause Smart Cruise
Control to react to a vehicle actually
in an adjacent lane. Always drive
cautiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring.
• Always be aware of the surroundings
and drive safely, even though a
warning message does not appear or
an audible warning does not sound.
• If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or warning
sound is generated, Smart Cruise
Control warning message may not
be displayed and warning sound may
not be generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound
of Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist if the surrounding is noisy.
• The vehicle manufacturer is not
responsible for any traffic violation
or accidents caused by the driver.
• Always set the vehicle speed to the
speed limit in your country.
Information
• Smart Cruise Control may not operate
for 15 seconds after the vehicle is
started or the front view camera or
front radar is initialized.

CAUTION
• Noise may be heard when sudden
braking occurs to avoid a collision.
• If any other warning sound such
as the seat belt warning chime is
already generated, Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
may not sound.
• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not work properly if the
bumper has been damaged, replaced
or repaired.
• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate normally if
interfered by strong electromagnetic
waves.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may prevent passengers
from hearing Reverse Parking

sounds.
• Turn off Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist when towing a
trailer. If towing and moving in
reverse, Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist will activate as it
detects the trailer.
CAUTION
Take the following precautions to
maintain optimal performance of the
detecting sensors:
• Always keep the rear view camera
and rear ultrasonic sensors clean.
• Do not use any cleanser containing
acid or alkaline detergents when
cleaning the rear view camera lens.
Use only a mild soap or neutral
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
water.
• Do not spray the rear view camera or
the rear ultrasonic sensors or their
surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. It may cause
the rear view camera or the rear
ultrasonic sensors to malfunction.
• Do not apply objects, such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper guard,
near the rear view camera or rear
ultrasonic sensors or apply paint to
the bumper. Doing so may adversely
affect the performance of Reverse
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist.
• Never disassemble or strike the rear
view camera or the rear ultrasonic
sensors components.
• Do not strike or pry the rear view
camera or the rear ultrasonic
sensors. Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not operate
properly if the rear view camera
or the rear ultrasonic sensor(s)
is forcibly moved out of proper
alignment. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Follow the jump starting
procedure in this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehicle. If in
doubt about how to properly jump start
your vehicle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service technician or
towing service do it for you.
WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
to you or bystanders, always follow
these precautions when working near
or handling the battery:
Always read and follow instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection designed to protect the eyes from acid
splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking materials away from
the battery.
Hydrogen is always present in battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which is highly corrosive. Do
not allow acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.If acid gets into your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate medical
attention. If acid gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the area. If you feel
pain or a burning sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
•
When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak. Lift with a
battery carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
• Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle if your battery is frozen.
• NEVER attempt to recharge the
battery when the vehicle’s battery
cables are connected to the battery.
• The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage.
NEVER touch these components
with the engine running or when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position.

causing serious injury or death to you or
those nearby. Take the following safety
precautions:
• Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
• NEVER attempt to change a tire in

designated jacking positions on the
vehicle and NEVER on the bumpers
or any other part of the vehicle for
jacking support.
• Do not start or run the engine while
the vehicle is on the jack.
• Do not allow anyone to remain in the
vehicle while it is on the jack.

TOWING
Towing service

A
ONX4080013[A] : Dollies
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
For 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow
the vehicle with the front wheels on the
ground (without dollies) and the rear
wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the rear wheels on
the ground, use a towing dolly under the
rear wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the rear of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the front.
For AWD vehicles, it must be towed
with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground.
NOTICE
Do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting
or body and chassis parts. Otherwise
the vehicle may be damaged.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
ONX4080016
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
