DDiesel engineDiesel fuelDiesel engine must be operated onlyon commercially available diesel fuelthat complies with EN 590 or compa-rable standard. (EN stands for"European Norm"). Do not usemarine diesel fuel, heating oils, ornon-approved fuel additives, as thiswill increase wear and cause dam-age to the engine and fuel system.The use of non-approved fuels and /or fuel additives will result in a limita-tion of your warranty rights. Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 isused in your vehicle. If two types ofdiesel fuel are available, use summeror winter fuel properly according tothe following temperature conditions.• Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type

diesel fuel.• Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type

diesel fuel.

Watch the fuel level in the tank verycarefully : If the engine stops throughfuel failure, the circuits must be com-pletely purged to permit restarting.

Do not let any petrol or water enterthe tank. This would make it neces-sary to drain it out and to bleed thelines to avoid jamming the injectionpump and damaging the engine.

- Diesel Fuel (if equipped with DPF)

It is recommended to use the regu-lated automotive diesel fuel for dieselvehicle equipped with the DPF sys-tem.If you use diesel fuel including highsulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) andunspecified additives, it can causethe DPF system to be damaged andwhite smoke can be emitted.

Biodiesel Commercially supplied Diesel blendsof no more than 7% biodiesel, com-monly known as "B7 Diesel" may beused in your vehicle if Biodieselmeets EN 14214 or equivalent spec-ifications. (EN stands for "EuropeanNorm"). The use of biofuels exceed-ing 7% made from rapeseed methylester (RME), fatty acid methyl ester(FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceed-ing 7% with biodiesel will causeincreased wear or damage to theengine and fuel system. Repair orreplacement of worn or damagedcomponents due to the use of nonapproved fuels will not be covered bythe manufactures warranty.

• Never use any fuel, whetherdiesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,that fails to meet the latest petrole-um industry specification.

• Never use any fuel additives ortreatments that are not recom-mended or approved by the vehi-cle manufacturer.

Seat belt use and children Infant and small children Most countries have Child RestraintSystem laws which require children totravel in approved Child RestraintSystem devices, including boosterseats. The age at which seat belts canbe used instead of Child RestraintSystem differs among countries, soyou should be aware of the specificrequirements in your country, andwhere you are travelling. Infant andChild Restraint System must be prop-erly placed and installed in a rear seat. For more details refer to the “ChildRestraint Systems” in this chapter.

Small children are best protectedfrom injury in an accident when prop-erly restrained in the rear seat by aChild Restraint System that meetsthe requirements of the SafetyStandards of your country. Beforebuying any Child Restraint System,make sure that it has a label certify-ing that it meets Safety Standard ofyour country. The Child RestraintSystem must be appropriate for yourchild's height and weight. Check thelabel on the Child Restraint Systemfor this information. Refer to “ChildRestraint Systems” in this chapter.

ALWAYS properly restrain infantsand small children in a ChildRestraint System appropriate forthe child’s height and weight. Toreduce the risk of serious injury ordeath to a child and other passen-gers, NEVER hold a child in yourlap or arms when the vehicle ismoving. The violent forces createdduring an accident will tear the childfrom your arms and throw the childagainst the interior of the vehicle.

Care of seat belts Seat belt systems should never bedisassembled or modified. In addi-tion, care should be taken to assurethat seat belts and belt hardware arenot damaged by seat hinges, doorsor other abuse.

Periodic inspectionAll seat belts should be inspectedperiodically for wear or damage ofany kind. Any damaged parts shouldbe replaced as soon as possible.

Keep belts clean and dry Seat belts should be kept clean anddry. If belts become dirty, they can becleaned by using a mild soap solutionand warm water. Bleach, dye, strongdetergents or abrasives should not beused because they may damage andweaken the fabric.

When to replace seat belts The entire seat belt assembly orassemblies should be replaced if thevehicle has been involved in an acci-dent. This should be done even if nodamage is visible. We recommend thatyou consult an authorized HYUNDAIdealer.

• NEVER ride with a reclined seat-back when the vehicle is moving.

• Riding with a reclined seatbackincreases your chance of seriousor fatal injuries in the event of acollision or sudden stop.

• Driver and passengers shouldalways sit well back in their seats,properly belted, and with the seat-backs upright.

Safety system of your vehicle

Children riding in the car should sit inthe rear seat and must always beproperly restrained to minimize therisk of injury in an accident, suddenstop or sudden maneuver. Accordingto accident statistics, children aresafer when properly restrained in therear seats than in the front seat.Larger children not in a child restraintshould use one of the seat belts pro-vided.You should be aware of the specificrequirements in your country. Childand/or infant safety seats must beproperly placed and installed in therear seat. You must use a commer-cially available child restraint systemthat meets the requirements of theSafety Standards of your country.Child restraint systems are designedto be secured in vehicle seats by thelap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.Children could be injured or killed ina crash if their restraints are notproperly secured. For small childrenand babies, a child seat or infant seatmust be used.

Before buying a particular childrestraint system, make sure it fitsyour car seat and seat belts, and fitsyour child. Follow all the instructionsprovided by the manufacturer wheninstalling the child restraint system.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

• A child restraint system must beplaced in the rear seat. Neverinstall a child or infant seat onthe front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur andcause the passenger-side airbag to deploy, it could severelyinjure or kill an infant or childseated in an infant or child seat.Thus only use a child restraint inthe rear seat of your vehicle.

• A seat belt or child restraint sys-tem can become very hot if it isleft in a closed vehicle on asunny day, even if the outsidetemperature does not feel hot.Be sure to check the seat coverand buckles before placing achild there.

WARNING

• When the child restraint systemis not in use, store it in the lug-gage area or fasten it with a seatbelt so that it will not be thrownforward in the case of a suddenstop or an accident.

• Children may be seriouslyinjured or killed by an inflatingair bag. All children, even thosetoo large for child restraints,must ride in the rear seat.

4To reduce the chance of serious orfatal injuries:• Children of all ages are saferwhen restrained in the rear seat.A child riding in the front passen-ger seat can be forcefully struckby an inflating air bag resulting inserious or fatal injuries.

• Always follow the instructions forinstallation and use of the childrestraint maker.

• Always make sure the child seatis secured properly in the car andyour child is securely restrainedin the child seat.

• Never hold a child in your arms orlap when riding in a vehicle. Theviolent forces created during acrash will tear the child from yourarms and throw the child againstthe car’s interior.

WARNING • Never put a seat belt over yourselfand a child. During a crash, thebelt could press deep into thechild causing serious internalinjuries.

• Never leave children unattendedin a vehicle – not even for a shorttime. The car can heat up veryquickly, resulting in seriousinjuries to children inside. Evenvery young children may inadver-tently cause the vehicle to move,entangle themselves in the win-dows, or lock themselves or oth-ers inside the vehicle.

• Never allow two children, or anytwo persons, to use the same seatbelt.

• Children often squirm and reposi-tion themselves improperly.Never let a child ride with theshoulder belt under their arm orbehind their back. Always proper-ly position and secure children inrear seat.

• Never allow a child to stand-up orkneel on the seat or floorboard ofa moving vehicle. During a colli-sion or sudden stop, the child canbe violently thrown against thevehicles interior, resulting in seri-ous injury.

• Never use an infant carrier or achild safety seat that "hooks"over a seatback, it may not pro-vide adequate security in an acci-dent.

• Seat belts can become very hot,especially when the car is parkedin direct sunlight. Always checkseat belt buckles before fasten-ing them over a child.

• After an accident, we recom-mend that the system bechecked by an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.

• If there is not enough space toplace the child restraint systembecause of the driver's seat,install the child restraint systemin the rear seat behind the frontpassenger.

How does the air bag systemoperate • Air bags are activated (able toinflate if necessary) only when theignition switch is placed to the ONor START position.

• Air bags inflate instantly in theevent of serious frontal collision inorder to help protect the occupantsfrom serious physical injury.

• There is no single speed at whichthe air bags will inflate. Generally, air bags are designed toinflate based upon the severity of acollision and its direction. Thesetwo factors determine whether thesensors produce an electronicdeployment/ inflation signal.

• The front air bags will completelyinflate and deflate in an instant. It is virtually impossible for you tosee the air bags inflate during anaccident. It is much more likely that you willsimply see the deflated air bagshanging out of their storage com-partments after the collision.

• In order to help provide protectionin a severe collision, the air bagsmust inflate rapidly. The speed ofair bag inflation is a consequenceof extremely short time in which acollision occurs and the need toget the air bag between the occu-pant and the vehicle structuresbefore the occupant impacts thosestructures. This speed of inflationreduces the risk of serious or life-threatening injuries in a severe col-lision and is thus a necessary partof air bag design.However, air bag inflation can alsocause injuries which can includefacial abrasions, bruises and bro-ken bones because the inflationspeed also causes the air bags toexpand with a great deal of force.

• Even in vehicles with air bags,you and your passengers mustalways wear the safety belts pro-vided in order to minimize the riskand severity of injury in the eventof a collision or rollover.

• SRS and pretensioners containexplosive chemicals. If scraping a vehicle withoutremoving SRS and pretensionersfrom a vehicle, it may cause fire.Before scraping a vehicle, werecommend that you contact anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Keep the SRS parts and wiringsaway from water or any liquid. Ifthe SRS components are inoper-ative due to exposure to water orliquids, it may cause fire or severeinjury.

• There are even circumstancesunder which contact with the steer-ing wheel air bag can cause fatalinjuries, especially if the occupantis positioned excessively close tothe steering wheel.

Noise and smokeWhen the air bags inflate, they makea loud noise and they leave smokeand powder in the air inside of thevehicle. This is normal and is a resultof the ignition of the air bag inflator.After the air bag inflates, you mayfeel substantial discomfort in breath-ing due to the contact of your chestwith both the seat belt and the airbag, as well as from breathing thesmoke and powder. Open your doorsand/or windows as soon as possibleafter impact in order to reduce dis-comfort and prevent prolonged expo-sure to the smoke and powder. Though smoke and powder are non-toxic, it may cause irritation to theskin (eyes, nose and throat, etc.). Ifthis is the case, wash and rinse withcold water immediately and consultwith the doctor if the symptom per-sists.

• To avoid severe personal injuryor death caused by deploying airbags in a collision, the drivershould sit as far back from thesteering wheel air bag as possi-ble. The front passenger shouldalways move their seat as farback as possible and sit back intheir seat.

• Air bag inflates instantly in anevent of a collision, passengersmay be injured by the air bagexpansion force if they are not ina proper position.

• Air bag inflation may causeinjuries including facial or bodilyabrasions, injuries from brokenglasses or burns.

When the air bags deploy, the airbag related parts in the steeringwheel and/or instrument paneland/or in both sides of the roofrails above the front and reardoors are very hot. To preventinjury, do not touch the air bagstorage areas internal compo-nents immediately after an air baghas inflated.

• Move your seat as far back aspractical from the front air bags,while still maintaining control ofthe vehicle.

• You and your passengersshould never sit or lean unnec-essarily close to the air bags.Improperly positioned driversand passengers can be severe-ly injured by inflating air bags.

• Never lean against the door orcenter console – always sit in anupright position.

• No objects (such as crash padcover, cellular phone holder, cupholder, perfume or stickers)

Always use seat belts and childrestraints – every trip, every time,everyone! Air bags inflate withconsiderable force and in the blinkof an eye.

Alwaysfollow the precautions about seatbelts, air bags and occupant safe-ty contained in this manual. To reduce the chance of seriousor fatal injuries and receive themaximum safety benefit from yourrestraint system:• Never place a child in any childor booster seat in the front seat.

• ABC – Always Buckle Children inthe back seat. It is the safestplace for children of any age toride.

• Front and side impact air bags

WARNING should be placed over or nearthe air bag modules on thesteering wheel, instrumentpanel, windshield glass, and thefront passenger's panel abovethe glove box. Such objectscould cause harm if the vehicleis in a crash severe enough tocause the air bags to deploy.

• Do not attach any objects on thefront windshield and inside mir-ror.

• Do not tamper with or disconnectSRS wiring or other componentsof the SRS system. Doing socould result in injury, due to acci-dental deployment of the airbags or by rendering the SRSinoperative.

• If the SRS air bag warning lightremains illuminated while thevehicle is being driven, we rec-ommend that the system beinspected by an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.

Front air bags Front air bags are designed to inflatein certain frontal collision dependingon the crash severity of the front col-lision.If the vehicle chassis is impacted bybumps or objects on unimprovedroads or sidewalks, air bags maydeploy. Drive carefully on unim-proved roads or on surfaces notdesigned for vehicle traffic to preventunintended air bag deployment.

• Do not hit or allow any objects toimpact the locations where airbags or sensors are installed. This may cause unexpected airbag deployment, which couldresult in serious personal injuryor death.

• If the installation location orangle of the sensors is altered inany way, the air bags maydeploy when they should not orthey may not deploy when theyshould, causing severe injury ordeath. Therefore, do not try to performmaintenance on or around theair bag sensors. We recommendthat the system be serviced by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Problems may arise if the sen-sor installation angles are

Air bag non-inflation conditions

• In certain low-speed collisions theair bags may not deploy. The airbags are designed not to deploy insuch cases because they may notprovide benefits beyond the pro-tection of the seat belts in such col-lisions.

• Front air bags are not designed toinflate in rear collisions, becauseoccupants are moved backward bythe force of the impact. In thiscase, inflated air bags would not beable to provide any additional ben-efit.

• Front air bags may not inflate inside impact collisions, becauseoccupants move to the direction ofthe collision, and thus in sideimpacts, frontal air bag deploymentwould not provide additional occu-pant protection.

• In a slant or angled collision, theforce of impact may direct theoccupants in a direction where theair bags would not be able to pro-vide any additional benefit, andthus the sensors may not deployany air bags.

• Just before impact, drivers oftenbrake heavily. Such heavy brakinglowers the front portion of the vehi-cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-cle with a higher ground clearance.Air bags may not inflate in this"under-ride" situation becausedeceleration forces that are detect-ed by sensors may be significantlyreduced by such “under-ride” colli-sions.

• Air bags do not inflate in rolloveraccidents because vehicle can notdetect rollover accident.

Additional safety precautions• Never let passengers ride in thecargo area or on top of a folded-down back seat. All occupantsshould sit upright, fully back in theirseats with their seat belts on andtheir feet on the floor.

• Passengers should not move outof or change seats while the vehi-cle is moving. A passenger who isnot wearing a seat belt during acrash or emergency stop can bethrown against the inside of thevehicle, against other occupants,or out of the vehicle.

• Each seat belt is designed torestrain one occupant. If more thanone person uses the same seatbelt, they could be seriously injuredor killed in a collision.

• Do not use any accessories onseat belts. Devices claiming toimprove occupant comfort or repo-sition the seat belt can reduce theprotection provided by the seat beltand increase the chance of seriousinjury in a crash.

• Passengers should not place hardor sharp objects between them-selves and the air bags. Carryinghard or sharp objects on your lapor in your mouth can result ininjuries if an air bag inflates.

Operation Tips• To keep dust or unpleasant fumesfrom entering the car through theventilation system, temporarily setthe air intake control to the recircu-lated air position. Return the con-trol to the fresh air position whenthe irritation has passed. This willhelp keep the driver alert and com-fortable.

• To prevent inside of the windshieldfrom fogging, set the air intake con-trol to the fresh air position and fanspeed to the desired position, turnon the air conditioning system, andadjust the temperature control todesired temperature.

Air conditioning (if equipped) HYUNDAI Air Conditioning Systemsare filled with a R-134a refrigerant.1. Start the engine. 2. Push the air conditioning button.3. Set the mode to the Face Level

mode.4. Set the air intake control to therecirculated air position. However,prolonged operation of the recircu-lated air position will excessivelydry the air. In this case, change theair position.

5. Adjust the fan speed control andtemperature control to maintainmaximum comfort.

When maximum cooling is desired,set the temperature control to theextreme left position then set the fanspeed control to the highest speed.

When using the air conditioning sys-tem, monitor the temperature gaugeclosely while driving up hills or inheavy traffic when outside tempera-tures are high. Air conditioning sys-tem operation may cause engineoverheating. Continue to use the blower fan butturn the air conditioning system off ifthe engine temperature gauge indi-cates engine overheating.

How vehicle audio works

AM and FM radio signals are broad-cast from transmitter towers locatedaround your city. They are interceptedby the radio antenna on your vehicle.This signal is then processed by theradio and sent to your vehicle speak-ers. When a strong radio signal hasreached your vehicle, the preciseengineering of your audio systemensures the best possible qualityreproduction. However, in some casesthe signal coming to your vehicle maynot be strong and clear.

This can be due to factors, such asthe distance from the radio station,closeness of other strong radio sta-tions or the presence of buildings,bridges or other large obstructions inthe area.

Multimedia System

AM broadcasts can be received atgreater distances than FM broad-casts. This is because AM radiowaves are transmitted at low fre-quencies. These long distance, lowfrequency radio waves can follow thecurvature of the earth rather thantravelling straight. In addition, theycurve around obstructions resultingin better signal coverage.

FM broadcasts are transmitted athigh frequencies and do not bend tofollow the earth's surface. Becauseof this, FM broadcasts generallybegin to fade within short distancesfrom the station. Also, FM signals areeasily affected by buildings, moun-tains, and obstructions. This can leadto undesirable or unpleasant listen-ing conditions which might lead youto believe a problem exists with yourradio. The following conditions arenormal and do not indicate radiotrouble:

• Fading - As your vehicle movesaway from the radio station, thesignal will weaken and sound willbegin to fade. When this occurs,we suggest that you select anotherstronger station.

• Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals orlarge obstructions between thetransmitter and your radio can dis-turb the signal causing static orfluttering noises to occur. Reducingthe treble level may lessen thiseffect until the disturbance clears.

Driving your vehicle

Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and death.Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.

Do not inhale engine exhaust.If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. Exposure to CO can causeunconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.

Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. Ifyou hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of thevehicle, we recommend that the exhaust system be checked as soon as possible by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Run the engine onlylong enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle out of the garage.

Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle , be sure to do so only in anopen area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.

Keep the air intakes clear.To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes located in front of the windshieldclear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.

If you must drive with the tailgate open:Close all windows.Open instrument panel air vents.Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face", and the fan control set to high.

Driving your vehicle

Using the clutchThe clutch pedal should bedepressed all the way to the floorbefore:- Starting the engine

The engine will not start withoutdepressing the clutch pedal.

- Shifting

When releasing the clutch pedal,release it slowly. The clutch pedalshould always be released whiledriving. To start the vehicle, slowly releasethe fully-depressed clutch pedalwhile applying the accelerator pedalgradually.

To prevent unnecessary wear ordamage to the clutch: • Do not rest your foot on the clutch

pedal while driving.• Do not hold the vehicle with the

clutch on an incline, while waitingfor the traffic light, etc.

• Always depress the clutch pedaldown fully to prevent noise or dam-age.

• Do not start with the 2nd (second)gear engaged except when youstart on a slippery road.

• Depress the clutch pedal fully foroperation. When the pedal isreleased, do not depress the pedalagain before it returns to its originalposition. If the process of depress-ing the pedal before it is restored isrepeated, it may result in failure ofthe clutch system.

DownshiftingDownshift when you must slow downin heavy traffic or drive up a steep hillto prevent engine load. Also, downshifting reduces thechance of stalling and can acceleratewhen you need to increase yourspeed again. When the vehicle is going downhill,downshifting helps maintain safespeed by providing brake power fromthe engine and enables less wear onthe brakes.

To prevent damage to the engine,clutch and transmission :• When downshifting from 5th gear

to 4th gear, be careful not to inad-vertently push the shift lever side-ways engaging the 2nd gear. Adrastic downshift may cause theengine speed to increase to thepoint the tachometer will enter thered-zone.

• Do not downshift more than twogear at a time or downshift thegear when the engine is running athigh speed (5,000 RPM or higher).Such a downshifting may damagethe engine, clutch and the trans-mission.

Good driving practices • Never take the vehicle out of gear

and coast down a hill. This isextremely dangerous.

• Don't "ride" the brakes. This cancause the brakes and related partsto overheat and malfunction.When you are driving down a longhill, slow down and shift to a lowergear. Engine braking will help slowdown the vehicle.

• Slow down before shifting to alower gear. This will help avoidover-revving the engine, which cancause damage.

• Slow down when you encountercross winds. This gives you muchbetter control of your vehicle.

• Be sure the vehicle is completelystopped before you shift into R(Reverse) to prevent damage tothe transmission.

• Exercise extreme caution whendriving on a slippery surface. Beespecially careful when braking,accelerating or shifting gears. On aslippery surface, an abrupt changein vehicle speed can cause thedrive wheels to lose traction andmay cause loss of vehicle controlresulting in an accident

NOTICE

Do not use the engine brake (shift-ing from a higher gear to lowergear) rapidly on slippery roads.The vehicle may slip causing anaccident.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUSINJURY or DEATH:• ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. In

a collision, an unbelted occu-pant is significantly more likelyto be seriously injured or killedthan a properly belted occupant.

• Avoid high speeds when corner-ing or turning.

• Do not make quick steeringwheel movements, such assharp lane changes or fast,sharp turns.

• The risk of rollover is greatlyincreased if you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.

• Loss of control often occurs iftwo or more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.

• In the event your vehicle leavesthe roadway, do not steer

sharply. Instead, slow downbefore pulling back into the trav-el lanes.

• HYUNDAI recommends you fol-low all posted speed limits.

Features of the AutomatedManual Transmission (AMT) • The Automated Manual

Transmission (AMT) can bethought of as an automaticallyshifting manual transmission. Itgives the driving feel of a manualtransmission.

• When D (Drive) is selected, thetransmission will automatically shiftthrough the gears similar to a con-ventional automatic transmission.Unlike a traditional automatictransmission, the gear shifting cansometimes be felt and heard as theactuators engage the clutches andthe gears are selected. When thegear is shifting, you may some-times hear operating noise. This isnormal and does not indicate aproblem with your transmission.

• The Automated ManualTransmission (AMT) adopts a dry-type single clutch, which is differ-ent from the torque converter ofthe automatic transmission. Itshows better acceleration per-formance and increased fuel effi-ciency while driving but initiallaunch might be little bit slowerthan the automatic transmission.

• As a result, gear shifts are some-times more noticeable than aconventional automatic transmis-sion and a light vibration duringlaunching can be felt as the trans-mission speed is matched with theengine speed. This is a normalcondition of the Automated ManualTransmission (AMT).

• The dry-type clutch transferstorque more directly and providesa direct drive feeling which mayfeel different from a conventionalautomatic transmission with atorque converter. This may bemore noticeable when launchingthe vehicle from a stop or whentraveling at low, stop-and-go vehi-cle speeds.

• When rapidly accelerating at a lowvehicle speed, the engine rpm mayincrease highly depending on thevehicle’s driving condition.

• For a smooth launch uphill,depress the accelerator pedalsmoothly depending on the currentconditions.

• If you release your foot from theaccelerator pedal at low vehiclespeed, you may feel engine brak-ing, which is similar to manualtransmission.

• When you turn the engine on andoff, you may hear clicking soundsas the system goes through a self-test. This is a normal sound for theAutomated Manual Transmission(AMT).

• During the first 1,500 km (1,000miles), you may feel that the vehi-cle may not be smooth when accel-erating at low speed. During thisbreak-in period, the shift qualityand performance of your new vehi-cle is continuously optimized.

Information - Creeping function

The Creeping function helps the vehi-cle to start smoothly. If you take yourfoot off the brake pedal when the shiftlever is either in R (Reverse), D(Drive) or M (Manual) position, thevehicle will start slowly withoutdepressing the accelerator pedal. Todisable the function, depress the brakepedal or pull up the parking brakelever. The creeping function will not operatewhen:• The parking brake lever is engagedwith the shift lever in R (Reverse), D(Drive) or M (Manual) position

The stopping dis-tance, however, will be longer thanwith power brakes.When the engine is not running, thereserve brake power is partiallydepleted each time the brake pedalis applied. Do not pump the brakepedal when the power assist hasbeen interrupted.Pump the brake pedal only whennecessary to maintain steering con-trol on slippery surfaces.

BRAKING SYSTEM

Take the following precautions:• Do not drive with your foot rest-

ing on the brake pedal. This willcreate abnormal high brake tem-peratures, excessive brake lin-ing and pad wear, andincreased stopping distances.

• When descending a long orsteep hill, shift to a lower gearand avoid continuous applica-tion of the brakes. Applying thebrakes continuously will causethe brakes to overheat andcould result in a temporary lossof braking performance.

• Wet brakes may impair the vehi-

cle's ability to safely slow down;the vehicle may also pull to oneside when the brakes areapplied. Applying the brakeslightly will indicate whether theyhave been affected in this way.Always test your brakes in thisfashion after driving throughdeep water. To dry the brakes,lightly tap the brake pedal toheat up the brakes while main-taining a safe forward speeduntil brake performance returnsto normal. Avoid driving at highspeeds until the brakes functioncorrectly.

An Anti-Lock Braking System(ABS) will not prevent accidentsdue to improper or dangerousdriving maneuvers. Even thoughvehicle control is improved duringemergency braking, always main-tain a safe distance between youand objects ahead of you. Vehiclespeeds should always be reducedduring extreme road conditions.The braking distance for carsequipped with ABS may be longerthan for those without these sys-tems in the following road condi-tions.

WARNING

Drive your vehicle at reducedspeeds during the following condi-tions:• Rough, gravel or snow-covered

roads.• On roads where the road sur-

face is pitted or has differentsurface height.

• Tire chains are installed on yourvehicle.

The safety features of an ABSequipped vehicle should not betested by high speed driving orcornering. This could endangerthe safety of yourself or others.

Using ABS To obtain the maximum benefit fromyour ABS in an emergency situation,do not attempt to modulate yourbrake pressure and do not try topump your brakes. Depress yourbrake pedal as hard as possible.When you apply your brakes underconditions which may lock thewheels, you may hear sounds fromthe brakes, or feel a correspondingsensation in the brake pedal. This isnormal and it means your ABS isactive.ABS does not reduce the time or dis-tance it takes to stop the vehicle.Always maintain a safe distance fromthe vehicle in front of you.ABS will not prevent a skid thatresults from sudden changes indirection, such as trying to take acorner too fast or making a suddenlane change. Always drive at a safespeed for the road and weather con-ditions.

ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-ty. Always steer moderately whenbraking hard. Severe or sharp steer-ing wheel movement can still causeyour vehicle to veer into oncomingtraffic or off the road.On loose or uneven road surfaces,operation of the anti-lock brake sys-tem may result in a longer stoppingdistance than for vehicles equippedwith a conventional brake system.The ABS warning light ( ) will stayon for several seconds after the igni-tion switch is in the ON position.During that time, the ABS will gothrough self-diagnosis and the lightwill go off if everything is normal. Ifthe light stays on, you may have aproblem with your ABS. We recom-mend that you contact an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-ble.

If the ABS warning light ( ) is onand stays on, you may have aproblem with the ABS. Your powerbrakes will work normally. Toreduce the risk of serious injury ordeath, we recommend that youcontact your HYUNDAI dealer assoon as possible.

SpECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONSHazardous driving conditionsWhen hazardous driving conditionsare encountered such as water,snow, ice, mud or sand:Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-tance for braking.Avoid sudden movements in brakingor steering.If stuck in snow, mud, or sand, usesecond gear. Accelerate slowly toavoid spinning the drive wheels.

Use sand, rock salt, or other non-slipmaterial under the drive wheels toprovide traction when stalled in ice,snow, or mud.

Rocking the vehicleIf it is necessary to rock the vehicleto free it from snow, sand, or mud,first turn the steering wheel right andleft to clear the area around yourfront wheels. Then, shift back andforth between 1st and R (Reverse,for Manual Transmission vehicle) orR (Reverse) and a forward gear (forAutomated Manual Transmissionvehicle). Try to avoid spinning thewheels, and do not race the engine.To prevent transmission wear, waituntil the wheels stop spinning beforeshifting gears. Release the accelera-tor pedal while shifting, and presslightly on the accelerator pedal whilethe transmission is in gear. Slowlyspinning the wheels in forward andreverse directions causes a rockingmotion that may free the vehicle.

If the tires spin at high speed thetires can explode, and you or othersmay be injured. Do not attempt thisprocedure if people or objects areanywhere near the vehicle.The vehicle can overheat causing anengine compartment fire or otherdamage. Spin the wheels as little aspossible and avoid spinning thewheels at speeds over 56 km/h (35mph) as indicated on the speedome-ter.

If you are still stuck after rocking thevehicle a few times, have the vehiclepulled out by a tow vehicle to avoidengine overheating, possible dam-age to the transmission, and tiredamage. See "Towing" in chapter 6.

Driving your vehicle

Smooth corneringAvoid braking or gear changing incorners, especially when roads arewet. Ideally, corners should alwaysbe taken under gentle acceleration.

Driving at nightNight driving presents more hazardsthan driving in the daylight. Here aresome important tips to remember:• Slow down and keep more dis-

tance between you and other vehi-cles, as it may be more difficult tosee at night, especially in areaswhere there may not be any streetlights.

• Adjust your mirrors to reduce theglare from other driver's head-lights.

• Keep your headlights clean andproperly aimed. Dirty or improperlyaimed headlights will make it muchmore difficult to see at night.

• Avoid staring directly at the head-lights of oncoming vehicles. Youcould be temporarily blinded, and itwill take several seconds for youreyes to readjust to the darkness.

Driving in the rainRain and wet roads can make drivingdangerous. Here are a few things toconsider when driving in the rain oron slick pavement:• Slow down and allow extra follow-

ing distance. A heavy rainfallmakes it harder to see and increas-es the distance needed to stopyour vehicle.

• Replace your windshield wiperblades when they show signs ofstreaking or missing areas on thewindshield.

• Be sure your tires have enoughtread. If your tires do not haveenough tread, making a quick stopon wet pavement can cause a skidand possibly lead to an accident.See "Tire Tread" in chapter 7.

• Turn on your headlights to make iteasier for others to see you.

• Driving too fast through large pud-dles can affect your brakes. If youmust go through puddles, try todrive through them slowly.

• If you believe your brakes may bewet, apply them lightly while driv-ing until normal braking operationreturns.

Hydroplaning If the road is wet enough and you aregoing fast enough, your vehicle mayhave little or no contact with the roadsurface and actually ride on thewater. The best advice is SLOWDOWN when the road is wet. Therisk of hydroplaning increases as thedepth of tire tread decreases, refer to"Tire Tread" in chapter 7.

Driving in flooded areasAvoid driving through flooded areasunless you are sure the water is nohigher than the bottom of the wheelhub. Drive through any water slowly.Allow adequate stopping distancebecause brake performance may bereduced.After driving through water, dry thebrakes by gently applying them sev-eral times while the vehicle is movingslowly.

Driving your vehicle

Snow or icy conditionsYou need to keep sufficient distancebetween your vehicle and the vehiclein front of you.Apply the brakes gently. Speeding,rapid acceleration, sudden brakeapplications, and sharp turns arepotentially very hazardous practices.During deceleration, use enginebraking to the fullest extent. Suddenbrake applications on snowy or icyroads may cause skids to occur.To drive your vehicle in deep snow, itmay be necessary to use snow tiresor to install tire chains on your tires.Always carry emergency equipment.Some of the items you may want tocarry include tire chains, tow strapsor chains, a flashlight, emergencyflares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables,a window scraper, gloves, groundcloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

Snow tires

If you mount snow tires on your vehi-cle, make sure to use radial tires ofthe same size and load range as theoriginal tires. Mount snow tires on allfour wheels to balance your vehicle’shandling in all weather conditions.The traction provided by snow tireson dry roads may not be as high asyour vehicle's original equipmenttires. Check with the tire dealer formaximum speed recommendations.

InformationDo not install studded tires withoutfirst checking local and municipal reg-ulations for possible restrictionsagainst their use.

iWINTER DRIVING

Snow tires should be equivalent insize and type to the vehicle's stan-dard tires. Otherwise, the safetyand handling of your vehicle maybe adversely affected.

Tire chains

Since the sidewalls of radial tires arethinner than other types of tires, theymay be damaged by mounting sometypes of tire chains on them.Therefore, the use of snow tires isrecommended instead of tire chains.Do not mount tire chains on vehiclesequipped with aluminum wheels; ifunavoidable use a wire type chain. Iftire chains must be used, use gen-uine HYUNDAI parts and install thetire chain after reviewing the instruc-tions provided with the tire chains.Damage to your vehicle caused byimproper tire chain use is not cov-ered by your vehicle manufacturer’swarranty.

Information• Install tire chains on the front tires.It should be noted that installing tirechains on the tires will provide agreater driving force, but will notprevent side skids.

• Do not install tire chains withoutfirst checking local and municipalregulations for possible restrictionsagainst their use.

Chain InstallationWhen installing tire chains, follow themanufacturer's instructions andmount them as tightly possible. Driveslowly (less than 30 km/h (20 mph))with chains installed. If you hear thechains contacting the body or chas-sis, stop and tighten them. If they stillmake contact, slow down until thenoise stops. Remove the tire chainsas soon as you begin driving oncleared roads.When mounting snow chains, parkthe vehicle on level ground awayfrom traffic. Turn on the vehicleHazard Warning Flasher and place atriangular emergency warning devicebehind the vehicle (if available).Always place the shift lever in neu-tral, apply the parking brake and turnoff the engine before installing snowchains.

OAH2058006

The use of tire chains mayadversely affect vehicle handling:• Drive less than 30 km/h (20

mph) or the chain manufactur-er's recommended speed limit,whichever is lower.

• Drive carefully and avoidbumps, holes, sharp turns, andother road hazards, which maycause the vehicle to bounce.

• Avoid sharp turns or lockedwheel braking.

Driving your vehicle

When using tire chains:• Wrong size chains or improperly

installed chains can damage yourvehicle's brake lines, suspension,body and wheels.

• Use SAE "S" class or wire chains.• If you hear noise caused by chains

contacting the body, retighten thechain to prevent contact with thevehicle body.

• To prevent body damage, retightenthe chains after driving 0.5~1.0 km(0.3~0.6 miles).

• Do not use tire chains on vehiclesequipped with aluminum wheels. Ifunavoidable, use a wire typechain.

• Use wire chains less than 15 mm(0.59 in) wide to prevent damageto the chain's connection.

Winter precautionsUse high quality ethylene glycolcoolantYour vehicle is delivered with highquality ethylene glycol coolant in thecooling system. It is the only type ofcoolant that should be used becauseit helps prevent corrosion in the cool-ing system, lubricates the waterpump and prevents freezing. Be sureto replace or replenish your coolantin accordance with the maintenanceschedule in chapter 7. Before winter,have your coolant tested to assurethat its freezing point is sufficient forthe temperatures anticipated duringthe winter.

Check battery and cablesWinter puts additional burdens onthe battery system. Visually inspectthe battery and cables as describedin chapter 7. The level of charge inyour battery can be checked by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer or aservice station.

Change to "winter weight" oil ifnecessaryIn some climates it is recommendedthat a lower viscosity "winter weight"oil be used during cold weather. Seechapter 8 for recommendations. Ifyou aren't sure what weight oil youshould use, we recommend that youconsult with an authorized HYUNDAIdealer.

Check spark plugs and ignitionsystemInspect your spark plugs asdescribed in chapter 7 and replacethem if necessary. Also check allignition wiring and components to besure they are not cracked, worn ordamaged in any way.

What to do in an emergency

If you have a tire gauge, check thetire pressure (see "Tires andWheels" in chapter 8 for tire pressureinstructions.). If the pressure is loweror higher than recommended, driveslowly to the nearest service stationand adjust it to the recommendedpressure. Always reinstall the valvecap after checking or adjusting tirepressure. If the cap is not replaced,air may leak from the tire. If you losea valve cap, buy another and install itas soon as possible. After changingtires, secure the flat tire and returnthe jack and tools to their proper stor-age locations.

Information Check the tire pressure as soon as pos-sible after installing a spare tire.Adjust it to the recommended pres-sure.

Your vehicle has metric threads onthe studs and lug nuts. Make certainduring tire changing that the samenuts that were removed are rein-stalled. If you have to replace yourlug nuts make sure they have metricthreads to avoid damaging the studsand ensure the wheel is properlysecured to the hub. We recommendthat you consult an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

If any of the equipment such as thejack, lug nuts, studs, or other equip-ment is damaged or in poor condi-tion, do not attempt to change thetire and call for assistance.

Use of compact spare tires (if equipped) Compact spare tires are designed foremergency use only. Drive carefullyon the compact spare tire andalways follow the safety precautions.

i

NOTICE

To prevent compact spare tire fail-ure and loss of control possiblyresulting in an accident:• Use the compact spare tire onlyin an emergency.

• NEVER operate your vehicleover 80 km/h (50 mph).

• Do not exceed the vehicle'smaximum load rating or the loadcarrying capacity shown on thesidewall of the compact sparetire.

• Do not use the compact sparetire continuously. Repair orreplace the original tire as soonas possible to avoid failure ofthe compact spare tire.

WARNING

Page 227: SantroSantro Your HYUNDAI vehicle should not be modified in any way. Such modifications may adversely affect the performance, safety or durability of your HYUNDAI vehicle and may,

When driving with the compact sparetire mounted to your vehicle:• Check the tire pressure afterinstalling the compact spare tire.The compact spare tire should beinflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).

• Do not take this vehicle through anautomatic car wash while the com-pact spare tire is installed.

• Do not use the compact spare tireon any other vehicle because thistire has been designed especiallyfor your vehicle.

• The compact spare tire's tread lifeis shorter than a regular tire.Inspect your compact spare tireregularly and replace worn com-pact spare tires with the same sizeand design, mounted on the samewheel.

• Do not use more than one compactspare tire at a time.

• Do not tow a trailer while the com-pact spare tire is installed.

Information When the original tire and wheel arerepaired and reinstalled on the vehi-cle, the lug nut torque must be set cor-rectly to prevent wheel vibration. Thecorrect lug nut tightening torque is11~13 kgf.m (79~94 lbf.ft).

To prevent damaging the compactspare tire and your vehicle:• Drive slowly enough for the roadconditions to avoid all hazards,such as a potholes or debris.

• Avoid driving over obstacles. Thecompact spare tire diameter issmaller than the diameter of a con-ventional tire and reduces theground clearance approximately25 mm (1 inch).

• Do not use tire chains on the com-pact spare tire. Because of thesmaller size, a tire chain will not fitproperly.

• Do not use the compact spare tireon any other wheels, nor shouldstandard tires, snow tires, wheelcovers or trim rings be used withthe compact spare wheel.

Recommended cold tire inflationpressures All tire pressures (including thespare) should be checked when thetires are cold. “Cold Tires” means thevehicle has not been driven for atleast three hours or driven less than1.6 km (one mile).Recommended pressures must bemaintained for the best ride, top vehi-cle handling, and minimum tire wear.For recommended inflation pressure,refer to “Tire and wheels” in chapter8.

All specifications (sizes and pres-sures) can be found on a labelattached to the vehicle.

OAH2088003

Tire underinflationSevere underinflation (70 kPa (10psi) or more) can lead to severeheat build-up, causing blowouts,tread separation and other tire fail-ures that can result in the loss ofvehicle control leading to severeinjury or death. This risk is muchhigher on hot days and when driv-ing for long periods at highspeeds.

Maintenance

• Underinflation also results inexcessive wear, poor handling andreduced fuel economy. Wheeldeformation also is possible. Keepyour tire pressures at the properlevels. If a tire frequently needsrefilling, we recommend that thesystem be checked by an author-ized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Overinflation produces a harshride, excessive wear at the centerof the tire tread, and a greater pos-sibility of damage from road haz-ards.

• Warm tires normally exceed rec-ommended cold tire pressures by28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi). Do notrelease air from warm tires toadjust the pressure or the tires willbe underinflated.

• Be sure to reinstall the tire inflationvalve caps. Without the valve cap,dirt or moisture could get into thevalve core and cause air leakage.If a valve cap is missing, install anew one as soon as possible.

- Tire pressureAlways observe the following:• Check tire pressure when the tiresare cold. (After vehicle has beenparked for at least three hours orhasn't been driven more than 1.6km (one mile) since startup.)

• Check the pressure of your sparetire each time you check the pres-sure of other tires.

• Never overload your vehicle. Becareful not to overload a vehicleluggage rack if your vehicle isequipped with one.

• Worn, old tires can cause acci-dents. If your tread is badly worn,or if your tires have been dam-aged, replace them.

Checking tire inflation pressureCheck your tires once a month ormore.Also, check the tire pressure of thespare tire.

How to checkUse a good quality gage to check tirepressure. You can not tell if your tiresare properly inflated simply by look-ing at them. Radial tires may lookproperly inflated even when they'reunderinflated.Check the tire's inflation pressurewhen the tires are cold. - "Cold"means your vehicle has been sittingfor at least three hours or driven nomore than 1.6 km (1 mile).

Remove the valve cap from the tirevalve stem. Press the tire gage firm-ly onto the valve to get a pressuremeasurement. If the cold tire inflationpressure matches the recommendedpressure on the tire and loadinginformation label, no further adjust-ment is necessary. If the pressure islow, add air until you reach the rec-ommended amount.If you overfill the tire, release air bypushing on the metal stem in thecenter of the tire valve. Recheck thetire pressure with the tire gage. Besure to put the valve caps back onthe valve stems. They help preventleaks by keeping out dirt and mois-ture.

• Inspect your tires frequently forproper inflation as well as wearand damage. Always use a tirepressure gauge.

• Tires with too much or too littlepressure wear unevenly causingpoor handling, loss of vehiclecontrol, and sudden tire failureleading to accidents, injuries,and even death. The recom-mended cold tire pressure foryour vehicle can be found in thismanual and on the tire labellocated on the driver's side cen-ter pillar.

• Worn tires can cause accidents.Replace tires that are worn,show uneven wear, or are dam-aged.

• Remember to check the pres-sure of your spare tire.HYUNDAI recommends that youcheck the spare every time youcheck the pressure of the othertires on your vehicle.

Maintenance

Tire rotation To equalize tread wear, it is recom-mended that the tires be rotated every 10,000 km (6,200 miles) or sooner if irregular wear develops.During rotation, check the tires for correct balance.When rotating tires, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tire pres-sure, improper wheel alignment, out-of-balance wheels, severe braking or severe cornering. Look for bumps or bulges in the tread or side of tire. Replace the tire if you find either of these conditions. Replace the tire if fabric or cord is visible. After rotation, be sure to bring the front and rear tire pressures to specification and check lug nut tightness. Refer to “Tire and wheels” in chapter 10.

Disc brake pads should be inspectedfor wear whenever tires are rotated.

Information Rotate radial tires that have an asym-metric tread pattern only from frontto rear and not from right to left.

Wheel alignment and tire bal-ance The wheels on your vehicle werealigned and balanced carefully at thefactory to give you the longest tire lifeand best overall performance.In most cases, you will not need tohave your wheels aligned again.However, if you notice unusual tirewear or your vehicle pulling one wayor the other, the alignment may needto be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibratingwhen driving on a smooth road, yourwheels may need to be rebalanced.

Improper wheel weights can damageyour vehicle's aluminum wheels. Useonly approved wheel weights.

Tire replacement

If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wearindicator will appear as a solid bandacross the tread. This shows there isless than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of treadleft on the tire. Replace the tire whenthis happens.Do not wait for the band to appearacross the entire tread before replac-ing the tire.

NOTICE

OEN076053

Tread wear indicator• Do not use the compact sparetire for tire rotation.

• Do not mix bias ply and radialply tires under any circum-stances. This may cause unusu-al handling characteristics thatcould result in death, severeinjury, or property damage.

Maintenance

When replacing the tires, recheckand tighten the wheel nuts after driv-ing about 1,000 km (620miles). If thesteering wheel shakes or the vehiclevibrates while driving, the tire is outof balance. Align the tire balance. Ifthe problem is not solved, we recom-mend that you contact an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.

NOTICE • Do not drive your vehicle withtoo little or too much pressure inyour tires. This can lead touneven wear and tire failure.

• When replacing tires, never mixradial and bias-ply tires on thesame car. You must replace alltires (including the spare) if mov-ing from radial to bias-ply tires.

• It is best to replace all four tiresat the same time. If that is notpossible, or necessary, thenreplace the two front or two reartires as a pair. Replacing justone tire can seriously affect yourvehicle’s handling.

• Using tires and wheel other thanthe recommended sizes couldcause unusual handling charac-teristics and poor vehicle con-trol, resulting in a serious acci-dent.

• Wheels that do not meet

HYUNDAI's specifications mayfit poorly and result in damage tothe vehicle or unusual handlingand poor vehicle control.

• The ABS works by comparingthe speed of the wheels. Tiresize can affect wheel speed.When replacing tires, all 4 tiresmust use the same size original-ly supplied with the vehicle.Using tires of a different size cancause the ABS (Anti-lock BrakeSystem) and ESC (ElectronicStability Control) to work irregu-larly. (if equipped)Replacing tires

To reduce the chance or seriousor fatal injuries from an accidentcaused by tire failure or loss ofvehicle control:• Replace tires that are worn,show uneven wear, or are dam-aged. Worn tires can cause lossof braking effectiveness, steer-ing control, and traction.

Compact spare tire replacement (if equipped)A compact spare tire has a shortertread life than a regular size tire.Replace it when you can see thetread wear indicator bars on the tire.The replaced compact spare tireshould be the same size and designtire as the one provided with yournew vehicle and should be mountedon the same compact spare tirewheel. The compact spare tire is notdesigned to be mounted on a regularsize wheel, and the compact sparetire wheel is not designed to mount aregular size tire.

Wheel replacement When replacing the metal wheels forany reason, make sure the newwheels are equivalent to the originalfactory units in diameter, rim widthand offset.

Tire tractionTire traction can be reduced if youdrive on worn tires, tires that areimproperly inflated or on slipperyroad surfaces. Tires should bereplaced when tread wear indicatorsappear. Slow down whenever thereis rain, snow or ice on the road, toreduce the possibility of losing con-trol of the vehicle.

Tire maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correctwheel alignment helps decrease tirewear. If you find a tire worn unevenly,have your dealer check the wheelalignment.When you have new tires installed,make sure they are balanced. Thiswill increase vehicle ride comfort andtire life. Additionally, a tire shouldalways be rebalanced if it is removedfrom the wheel.

A wheel that is not the correct sizemay adversely affect wheel andbearing life, braking and stoppingabilities, handling characteristics,ground clearance, body-to-tireclearance, snow chain clearance,speedometer and odometer cali-bration, headlight aim and bumperheight.

Tire speed ratings The chart below lists many of the dif-ferent speed ratings currently beingused for passenger car tires. Thespeed rating is part of the tire sizedesignation on the sidewall of thetire. This symbol corresponds to thattire's designed maximum safe oper-ating speed.

3. Checking tire life (TIN : TireIdentification Number)

Any tires that are over 6 years old,based on the manufacturing date,(including the spare tire) should bereplaced by new ones. You can findthe manufacturing date on the tiresidewall (possibly on the inside of thewheel), displaying the DOT Code.The DOT Code is a series of num-bers on a tire consisting of numbersand English letters. The manufactur-ing date is designated by the last fourdigits (characters) of the DOT code.

DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOOThe front part of the DOT means aplant code number, tire size andtread pattern and the last four num-bers indicate week and year manu-factured.For example: DOT XXXX XXXX 1618 representsthat the tire was produced in the 16thweek of 2018.

Tire ageTires degrade over time, evenwhen they are not being used.Regardless of the remainingtread, it is recommended that tiresgenerally be replaced after six (6)years of normal service. Heatcaused by hot climates or frequenthigh loading conditions can accel-erate the aging process. Failureto follow this warning could causesudden tire failure, which couldlead to a loss of control and anaccident involving serious injury ordeath.

4. Tire ply composition and materi-al

The number of layers or plies of rub-ber-coated fabric in the tire. Tiremanufacturers also must indicate thematerials in the tire, which includesteel, nylon, polyester, and others.The letter "R" means radial ply con-struction; the letter "D" means diago-nal or bias ply construction; and theletter "B" means belted-bias ply con-struction.

5. Maximum permissible inflationpressure

This number is the greatest amountof air pressure that should be put inthe tire. Do not exceed the maximumpermissible inflation pressure. Referto the Tire and Loading Informationlabel for recommended inflationpressure.

6. Maximum load ratingThis number indicates the maximumload in kilograms and pounds thatcan be carried by the tire. Whenreplacing the tires on the vehicle,always use a tire that has the sameload rating as the factory installedtire.

7. Uniform tire quality grading Quality grades can be found whereapplicable on the tire sidewallbetween tread shoulder and maxi-mum chapter width.For example: TREAD wear 200TRACTION AATEMPERATURE A

Tread wearThe tread wear grade is a compara-tive rating based on the wear rate ofthe tire when tested under controlledconditions on a specified govern-ment test course. For example, a tiregraded 150 would wear one-and-a-half times (1½) as well on the gov-ernment course as a tire graded 100.The relative performance of tiresdepends upon the actual conditionsof their use, however, and maydepart significantly from the normdue to variations in driving habits,service practices and differences inroad characteristics and climate.These grades are molded on theside-walls of passenger vehicle tires.The tires available as standard oroptional equipment on your vehiclemay vary with respect to grade.

Traction - AA, A, B & C The traction grades, from highest tolowest, are AA, A, B and C. Thosegrades represent the tire’s ability tostop on wet pavement measuredunder controlled conditions on spec-ified government test surfaces ofasphalt and concrete. A tire markedC may have poor traction perform-ance.

Temperature -A, B & C The temperature grades are A (thehighest), B, and C, representing thetire’s resistance to the generation ofheat and its ability to dissipate heatwhen tested under controlled condi-tions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel. Sustained high temperature cancause the material of the tire todegenerate and reduce tire life, andexcessive temperature can lead tosudden tire failure. Grades B and Arepresent higher levels of perform-ance on the laboratory test wheelthan the minimum required by law.

Tire temperature

The temperature grade for this tireis established for a tire that isproperly inflated and not over-loaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading,either separately or in combina-tion, can cause heat build-up andsudden tire failure. This can causeloss of vehicle control and seriousinjury or death.

WARNING

The traction grade assigned to thistire is based on straight-aheadbraking traction tests, and doesnot include acceleration, corner-ing, hydroplaning, or peak tractioncharacteristics.

Low aspect ratio tire (if equipped) Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspectratio is lower than 50, are providedfor sporty looks.Because the low aspect ratio tiresare optimized for handling and brak-ing, it may be more uncomfortable toride in and there is more noise com-pare with normal tires.

Because the sidewall of the lowaspect ratio tire is shorter than thenormal, the wheel and tire of the lowaspect ratio tire is easier to be dam-aged. So, follow the instructionsbelow.- When driving on a rough road oroff road, drive cautiously becausetires and wheels may be damaged.And after driving, inspect tires andwheels.

- When passing over a pothole,speed bump, manhole, or curbstone, drive slowly so that the tiresand wheels are not damaged.

- If the tire is impacted, we recom-mend that you inspect the tire con-dition or contact an authorizedHYUNDAI dealer.

- To prevent damage to the tire,inspect the tire condition and pres-sure every 3,000km.

• It is not easy to recognize the tiredamage with your own eyes. But ifthere is the slightest hint of tiredamage, even though you cannotsee the tire damage with your owneyes, have the tire checked orreplaced because the tire damagemay cause air leakage from thetire.

• If the tire is damaged by driving ona rough road, off road, pothole,manhole, or curb stone, it will notbe covered by the warranty.

• You can find out the tire informa-tion on the tire sidewall.

lIGhT BulBS

Consult an authorized HYUNDAIdealer to replace most vehicle lightbulbs. It is difficult to replace vehiclelight bulbs because other parts of thevehicle must be removed before youcan get to the bulb. This is especiallytrue for removing the headlightassembly to get to the bulb(s).Removing/installing the headlightassembly can result in damage tothe vehicle.

Information After heavy driving, rain or washingheadlight and taillight lenses couldappear frosty. This condition is causedby the temperature differencebetween the lamp inside and outside.This is similar to the condensation onyour windows inside your vehicle dur-ing the rain and doesn’t indicate aproblem with your vehicle. If thewater leaks into the lamp bulb circuit-ry, we recommend that the system bechecked by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer.

Be sure to replace the burned-outbulb with one of the same wattagerating. Otherwise, it may cause dam-age to the fuse or electric wiring sys-tem.

i

Prior to replacing a light, depressthe foot brake, move the shift leverinto the N (Neutral), apply theparking brake, place the ignitionswitch in the LOCK/OFF position,and take the key with you whenleaving the vehicle to avoid sud-den movement of the vehicle andto prevent possible electric shock.Be aware the bulbs may be hotand may burn your fingers.

APPEARANCE CARE

Exterior careExterior general caution It is very important to follow the labeldirections when using any chemicalcleaner or polish. Read all warningand caution statements that appearon the label.

High-pressure washing• When using high-pressure washers,make sure to maintain sufficient dis-tance from the vehicle.Insufficient clearance or excessivepressure can lead to componentdamage or water penetration.

• Do not spray the camera, sensors orits surrounding area directly with ahigh pressure washer. Shock appliedfrom high pressure water may causethe device to not operate normally.

• Do not bring the nozzle tip close toboots (rubber or plastic covers) orconnectors as they may be damagedif they come into contact with highpressure water.

Finish maintenanceWashing To help protect your vehicle’s finishfrom rust and deterioration, wash itthoroughly and frequently at leastonce a month with lukewarm or coldwater. If you use your vehicle for off-roaddriving, you should wash it after eachoff-road trip. Pay special attention tothe removal of any accumulation ofsalt, dirt, mud, and other foreignmaterials. Make sure the drain holesin the lower edges of the doors androcker panels are kept clear andclean.Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,industrial pollution and similardeposits can damage your vehicle’sfinish if not removed immediately. Even prompt washing with plainwater may not completely remove allthese deposits. A mild soap, safe foruse on painted surfaces, may beused.After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-oughly with lukewarm or cold water.Do not allow soap to dry on the fin-ish.

• Do not use strong soap, chemicaldetergents or hot water, and do notwash the vehicle in direct sunlightor when the body of the vehicle iswarm.

• Be careful when washing the sidewindows of your vehicle.Especially, with high-pressurewater, water may leak through thewindows and wet the interior.

• To prevent damage to the plasticparts and lamps, do not clean withchemical solvents or strong deter-gents.

NOTICE

Wet brakesAfter washing the vehicle, test thebrakes while driving slowly to seeif they have been affected bywater. If braking performance isimpaired, dry the brakes by apply-ing them lightly while maintaininga slow forward speed.

Maintenance

• Water washing in the engine com-partment including high pressurewater washing may cause the fail-ure of electrical circuits located inthe engine compartment.

• Never allow water or other liquidsto come in contact withelectrical/electronic componentsinside the vehicle as this may dam-age them.

WaxingWax the vehicle when water will nolonger bead on the paint.Always wash and dry the vehiclebefore waxing. Use a good qualityliquid or paste wax, and follow themanufacturer’s instructions. Wax allmetal trim to protect it and to main-tain its luster.Removing oil, tar, and similar materi-als with a spot remover will usuallystrip the wax from the finish. Be sure tore-wax these areas even if the rest ofthe vehicle does not yet need waxing.

• Wiping dust or dirt off the body witha dry cloth will scratch the finish.

• Do not use steel wool, abrasivecleaners, or strong detergents con-taining highly alkaline or causticagents on chrome-plated oranodized aluminum parts. Thismay result in damage to the pro-tective coating and cause discol-oration or paint deterioration.

Finish damage repair Deep scratches or stone chips in thepainted surface must be repairedpromptly. Exposed metal will quicklyrust and may develop into a majorrepair expense.

Information If your vehicle is damaged andrequires any metal repair or replace-ment, be sure the body shop appliesanti-corrosion materials to the partsrepaired or replaced.

Bright-metal maintenance• To remove road tar and insects,use a tar remover, not a scraper orother sharp object.

• To protect the surfaces of bright-metal parts from corrosion, apply acoating of wax or chrome preser-vative and rub to a high luster.

• During winter weather or in coastalareas, cover the bright metal partswith a heavier coating of wax orpreservative. If necessary, coat theparts with non-corrosive petroleumjelly or other protective compound.

Underbody maintenanceCorrosive materials used for ice andsnow removal and dust control maycollect on the underbody. If thesematerials are not removed, acceler-ated rusting can occur on the under-body parts such as the fuel lines,frame, floor pan and exhaust system,even though they have been treatedwith rust protection.Thoroughly flush the vehicle under-body and wheel openings with luke-warm or cold water once a month,after off-road driving and at the endof each winter. Pay special attentionto these areas because it is difficultto see all the mud and dirt. It will domore harm than good to wet downthe road grime without removing it.The lower edges of the doors, rockerpanels, and frame members havedrain holes that should not clog withdirt; trapped water in these areas cancause rusting.

After washing the vehicle, test thebrakes while driving slowly to seeif they have been affected bywater. If braking performance isimpaired, dry the brakes by apply-ing them lightly while maintaininga slow forward speed.

Aluminum wheel maintenance The aluminum wheels are coatedwith a clear protective finish.• Do not use any abrasive cleaner,polishing compound, solvent, orwire brushes on aluminum wheels.They may scratch or damage thefinish.

• Clean the wheel when it hascooled.

• Use only a mild soap or neutraldetergent, and rinse thoroughlywith water. Also, be sure to cleanthe wheels after driving on saltedroads. This helps prevent corro-sion.

• Avoid washing the wheels withhigh-speed car wash brushes.

• Do not use any alkaline or aciddetergent. It may damage and cor-rode the aluminum wheels coatedwith a clear protective finish.

Corrosion protectionProtecting your vehicle from corro-sionBy using the most advanced designand construction practices to combatcorrosion, we produce vehicles ofthe highest quality. However, this isonly part of the job. To achieve thelong-term corrosion resistance yourvehicle can deliver, the owner'scooperation and assistance is alsorequired.

Common causes of corrosionThe most common causes of corro-sion on your vehicle are:• Road salt, dirt and moisture that isallowed to accumulate underneaththe vehicle.

• Removal of paint or protectivecoatings by stones, gravel, abra-sion or minor scrapes and dentswhich leave unprotected metalexposed to corrosion.

High-corrosion areasIf you live in an area where your vehi-cle is regularly exposed to corrosivematerials, corrosion protection isparticularly important. Some of thecommon causes of accelerated cor-rosion are road salts, dust controlchemicals, ocean air and industrialpollution.

Moisture breeds corrosionMoisture creates the conditions inwhich corrosion is most likely tooccur. For example, corrosion isaccelerated by high humidity, partic-ularly when temperatures are justabove freezing. In such conditions,the corrosive material is kept in con-tact with the vehicle’s surface bymoisture that slowly evaporates.Mud is particularly corrosivebecause it dries slowly and holdsmoisture in contact with the vehicle.Although the mud appears to be dry,it can still retain moisture and pro-mote corrosion.High temperatures can also acceler-ate corrosion of parts that are notproperly ventilated so the moisturecan be dispersed. For all these rea-sons, it is particularly important tokeep your vehicle clean and free ofmud or accumulations of other mate-rials. This applies not only to the vis-ible surfaces but particularly to theunderside of the vehicle.

To help prevent corrosionYou can help prevent corrosion fromgetting started by observing the fol-lowing:

Keep your vehicle cleanThe best way to prevent corrosion isto keep your vehicle clean and freeof corrosive materials. Attention tothe underside of the vehicle is partic-ularly important.

• If you live in a high-corrosion area— where road salts are used, nearthe ocean, areas with industrialpollution, acid rain, etc.—, youshould take extra care to preventcorrosion. In winter, hose off theunderside of your vehicle at leastonce a month and be sure to cleanthe underside thoroughly whenwinter is over.

• When cleaning underneath thevehicle, give particular attention tothe components under the fendersand other areas that are hiddenfrom view. Do a thorough job; justdampening the accumulated mudrather than washing it away willaccelerate corrosion rather thanprevent it. Water under high pres-sure and steam are particularlyeffective in removing accumulatedmud and corrosive materials.

• When cleaning lower door panels,rocker panels and frame members,be sure that drain holes are keptopen so that moisture can escapeand not be trapped inside to accel-erate corrosion.

Maintenance

Keep your garage dryDon't park your vehicle in a damp,poorly ventilated garage. This cre-ates a favorable environment for cor-rosion. This is particularly true if youwash your vehicle in the garage ordrive it into the garage when it is stillwet or covered with snow, ice ormud. Even a heated garage can con-tribute to corrosion unless it is wellventilated so moisture is dispersed.

Keep paint and trim in good condi-tionScratches or chips in the finishshould be covered with "touch-up"paint as soon as possible to reducethe possibility of corrosion. If baremetal is showing through, the atten-tion of a qualified body and paintshop is recommended.Bird droppings : Bird droppings arehighly corrosive and may damagepainted surfaces in just a few hours.Always remove bird droppings assoon as possible.

Don't neglect the interiorMoisture can collect under the floormats and carpeting and cause corro-sion. Check under the mats periodi-cally to be sure the carpeting is dry.Use particular care if you carry fertil-izers, cleaning materials or chemi-cals in the vehicle.These should be carried only inproper containers and any spills orleaks should be cleaned up, flushedwith clean water and thoroughlydried.

Interior careInterior general precautions Prevent chemicals such as perfume,cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand clean-er, and air freshener from contactingthe interior parts because they maycause damage or discoloration. Ifthey do contact the interior parts,wipe them off immediately. See theinstructions that follow for the properway to clean vinyl.

Never allow water or other liquids tocome in contact with electrical/ elec-tronic components inside the vehicleas this may damage them.

When cleaning leather products(steering wheel, seats etc.), use neu-tral detergents or low alcohol contentsolutions. If you use high alcoholcontent solutions or acid/alkalinedetergents, the color of the leathermay fade or the surface may getstripped off.

EMISSION CONTROl SYSTEM

The emission control system of yourvehicle is covered by a written limitedwarranty. Please see the warrantyinformation contained in the ServicePassport in your vehicle.Your vehicle is equipped with anemission control system to meet allemission regulations.There are three emission controlsystems which are as follows.

(1) Crankcase emission control sys-tem

(2) Evaporative emission control sys-tem

(3) Exhaust emission control system

In order to assure the proper functionof the emission control systems, it isrecommended that you have yourcar inspected and maintained by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer inaccordance with the maintenanceschedule in this manual.

1. Crankcase emission controlsystem

The positive crankcase ventilationsystem is employed to prevent airpollution caused by blow-by gasesbeing emitted from the crankcase.This system supplies fresh filtered airto the crankcase through the airintake hose. Inside the crankcase,the fresh air mixes with blow-bygases, which then pass through thePCV valve into the induction system.

2. Evaporative emission controlsystem

The Evaporative Emission ControlSystem is designed to prevent fuelvapors from escaping into the atmos-phere.

CanisterFuel vapors generated inside the fueltank are absorbed and stored in theonboard canister. When the engine isrunning, the fuel vapors absorbed inthe canister are drawn into the surgetank through the purge control sole-noid valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve(PCSV)The purge control solenoid valve iscontrolled by the Engine ControlModule (ECM); when the enginecoolant temperature is low duringidling, the PCSV closes so that evap-orated fuel is not taken into theengine. After the engine warms upduring ordinary driving, the PCSVopens to introduce evaporated fuel tothe engine.

Operating precautions for catalyticconverters (if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with a cat-alytic converter emission controldevice.Therefore, the following precautionsmust be observed:• Use only UNLEADED FUEL forPetrol engine.

• Do not operate the vehicle whenthere are signs of engine malfunc-tion, such as misfire or a noticeableloss of performance.

• Do not misuse or abuse theengine. Examples of misuse arecoasting with the ignition off anddescending steep grades in gearwith the ignition off.

• Do not operate the engine at highidle speed for extended periods (5minutes or more).

• Do not modify or tamper with anypart of the engine or emission con-trol system. All inspections andadjustments must be made by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Avoid driving with a extremely lowfuel level. Running out of fuel couldcause the engine to misfire, dam-aging the catalytic converter.

Failure to observe these precautionscould result in damage to the catalyt-ic converter and to your vehicle.Additionally, such actions could voidyour warranties.

Fire

• A hot exhaust system can igniteflammable items under yourvehicle. Do not park, idle, ordrive the vehicle over or nearflammable objects, such asgrass, vegetation, paper,leaves, etc.

• The exhaust system and catalyt-ic system are very hot while theengine is running or immediate-ly after the engine is turned off.Keep away from the exhaustsystem and catalytic, you mayget burned. Also, do not removethe heat sink around theexhaust system, do not seal thebottom of the vehicle or do notcoat the vehicle for corrosioncontrol. It may present a fire riskunder certain conditions.

Gasoline (Petrol) ParticulateFilter (GPF) (if equipped) The Gasoline (Petrol) ParticulateFilter (GPF) system removes the sootin the exhaust gas.The GPF system automatically burns(or oxidizes) the accumulated soot inaccordance with driving situations,unlike a disposable air filter.In other words, the accumulated sootis automatically purged out by theengine control system and by the highexhaust-gas temperature at normal/high driving speeds.However, when the vehicle is continu-ally driven at repeated short distancesor driven at low speed for a long time,the accumulated soot may not beautomatically removed because of lowexhaust gas temperature. In this case,the accumulated soot may reach acertain amount regardless of the sootoxidization process, then the GPFlamp will illuminate.

The Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)Lamp stops illuminating, when thedriving speed exceeds 80 km/h (50mph) with engine rpm 1,500 ~ 4,000and the gear in the 3rd position orabove for approximately 30 minutes.When the GPF lamp starts to blink orthe waning message “Check exhaustsystem” pops up even though thevehicle was driven as mentionedabove, we recommend that you havethe GPF system checked by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer.With the GPF lamp blinking for anextended period of time, it may dam-age the GPF system and lower thefuel economy.

Gasoline (Petrol) Fuel (if equipped with GPF)

We recommend you to use onlythe regulated gasoline fuels,when your vehicle is equippedwith the GPF system.When you use other gasolinefuels which contain unspecifiedadditives, they may damage theGPF system and cause exhaustemission problems.

• It is permissible to add 3 psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expected soon.Tires typically loose 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 7°C temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are expected,recheck your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.

• An air pressure generally decreases, as you drive up to a high-altitude area above sea level. Thus, if you plan todrive a high-altitude area, check the tire pressures in advance. If necessary, inflate them to a proper level. (Air infla-tion per altitude : +10 kPa/1 km)

• Only steel wheel is provided with the vehicle as a spare wheel. Spare tire can be from any tire manufacturer.• Spare wheel is intended for Emergency Purpose only.

*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.*2 : Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of

fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer signif-icant cost and energy savings.

*3 : If the recommended engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API SM or ILSAC GF-4 or above*4 : We recommend that you use the engine oils approved by HYUNDAI Motor India Ltd. We recommend that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer fordetails.

Recommended SAE viscositynumber

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) hasan effect on fuel economy and coldweather operating (engine start andengine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-ty engine oils can provide better fueleconomy and cold weather perform-ance, however, higher viscosityengine oils are required for satisfac-tory lubrication in hot weather.

Always be sure to clean the areaaround any filler plug, drain plug,or dipstick before checking ordraining any lubricant. This isespecially important in dusty orsandy areas and when the vehicleis used on unpaved roads.Cleaning the plug and dipstickareas will prevent dirt and grit fromentering the engine and othermechanisms that could be dam-aged.
