Detecting pedestrians (if equipped)
The sensor may be limited when:
• The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition system, for
example, if the pedestrian is leaning
over or is not fully walking upright
• The pedestrian is moving very quickly
or appears abruptly in the camera
detection area
• The pedestrian is wearing clothing
that easily blends into the
background, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recognition
system
• The outside lighting is too bright (e.g.
when driving in bright sunlight or
in sun glare) or too dark (e.g. when
driving on a dark rural road at night)
• It is difficult to detect and distinguish
the pedestrian from other objects in
the surroundings, for example, when
there is a group of pedestrians or a
large crowd
• There is an item similar to a person's
body structure
• The pedestrian is small
• The pedestrian has impaired mobility
• The sensor recognition is limited
• The radar sensor or camera is blocked
with a foreign object or debris
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain
or snow obscures the field of view of
the radar sensor or camera
• When light coming from a street light
or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a puddle in
the road
• The field of view in front is obstructed
by sun glare
• The windshield glass is fogged up; a
clear view of the road is obstructed
• The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving Information
In some instances, FCA system
may be canceled when subjected to
electromagnetic interference.

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the below
suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and keep a longer
braking distance.
• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
• When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, or sand, use second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary wheel spin.
• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other
non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow,
or mud.
WARNING
Downshifting with an intelligent
variable transmission while driving on
slippery surfaces can cause an accident.
The sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and excessive
wheel spin occurs, the temperature
of the tires can increase very quickly.
If the tires become damaged, a tire
blow out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous - you and
others may be injured. Do not attempt
this procedure if people or objects are
anywhere near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle can overheat quickly, possibly
causing an engine compartment fire
or other damage. Try to avoid spinning
the wheels as much as possible to
prevent overheating of either the tires
or the engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle
to spin the wheels above 35 MPH (56
km/h).
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage to
the transmission, and tire damage. See
"Towing" in chapter 7.

Seating capacity
Total:5 persons
(Front seat : 2 persons,
Rear seat : 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum
number of occupants including a driver,
your vehicle may carry. However, the
seating capacity may be reduced based
upon the weight of all of the occupants,
and the weight of the cargo being carried
or towed. Do not overload the vehicle as
there is a limit to the total weight, or load
limit including occupants and cargo, the
vehicle can carry.
Towing capacity
We do not recommend using this vehicle
for trailer towing.
Cargo capacity
The cargo capacity of your vehicle will
increase or decrease depending on the
weight and the number of occupants
and the tongue load, if your vehicle is
equipped with a trailer.
Steps for determining correct load
limit
1. Locate the statement "The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on
your vehicle's placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will be
riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example,
if the "XXX" amount equals 1400
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb.
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
WARNING
Do not overload the vehicle as there
is a limit to the total weight, or load
limit, including occupants and cargo,
the vehicle can carry. Overloading can
shorten the life of the vehicle. If the
GVWR or the GAWR is exceeded, parts
on the vehicle can break, and it can
change the handling of your vehicle.
These could cause you to lose control
and result in an accident.

TOWING
Towing Service
A
AOQXI069011[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.
On 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to
tow the vehicle with the rear wheels
on the ground (without dollies) and
the front wheels off the ground. If any
of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the front wheels on
the ground, use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the front of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the rear.
If your vehicle is an AWD vehicle, it must
be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or
flatbed equipment with all the wheels off
the ground.
CAUTION
An AWD vehicle should never be
towed with the wheels on the ground.
This can cause serious damage to the
transmission.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
OQXI069013
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use a wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
OQXI069014
• Do not tow the vehicle with four
wheels in contact with the ground if
it is the vehicle equipped with IVT.
Otherwise, the transmission will be
seriously damaged. Also, make sure
not to tow the vehicle connecting it
with other vehicles including camper
vans.
