may not cover damage to the fuel
system and performance problems
that are caused by the use of
methanol or fuels containing
methanol.

quality gasolines that meet Europe Fuel
standards (EN228) or equivalents.
For customers who do not use good
quality gasolines including fuel additives
regularly, and have problems starting or
the engine does not run smoothly, one
bottle of additives added to the fuel tank
at every 5,000km. Additives are available
from your authorized HYUNDAI dealer
along with information on how to use
them. Do not mix other additives.

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING - Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the operation of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Do not place
anything under the front seats.

WARNING - Uprighting
seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback
and return it slowly and be sure
there are no other occupants
around the seat. If the seatback is
returned without being held and
controlled, the back of the seat
could spring forward resulting in
accidental injury to a person struck
by the seatback.

WARNING - Driver
responsibility for passengers
Riding in a vehicle with the seatback reclined could lead to serious
or fatal injury in an accident. If a
seat is reclined during an accident,
the occupant’s hips may slide
under the lap portion of the seat
belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result.
The driver must advise the passenger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING - Driver’s seat
• Never attempt to adjust the seat
while the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control,
and an accident causing death,
serious injury, or property damage.
• Do not allow anything to interfere
with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback could result in serious or fatal injury in a sudden
stop or collision.
• Always drive and ride with your
seatback upright and the lap portion of the seat belt snug and low
across the hips. This is the best
position to protect you in case of
an accident.
• In order to avoid unnecessary
and perhaps severe air bag
injuries, always sit as far back as
possible from the steering wheel
while maintaining comfortable
control of the vehicle. We recommend that your chest be at least
250 mm (10 inches) away from
the steering wheel.

5 3

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING - Rear seatbacks
• The rear seatback must be
securely latched. If not, passengers and objects could be thrown
forward resulting in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop or collision.
• Luggage and other cargo should
be laid flat in the cargo area. If
objects are large, heavy, or must
be piled, they must be secured.
Under no circumstances should
cargo be piled higher than the
seatbacks. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in serious
injury or death in the event of a
sudden stop, collision or
rollover.
• No passenger should ride in the
cargo area or sit or lie on folded
seatbacks while the vehicle is
moving. All passengers must be
properly seated in seats and
restrained properly while riding.
(Continued)

5 4

(Continued)
• When resetting the seatback to
the upright position, make sure it
is securely latched by pushing it
forward and rearwards.

WARNING
After adjusting the seat, always
check that it is securely locked into
place by attempting to move the
seat forward or backward without
using the lock release lever.
Sudden or unexpected movement
of the driver's seat could cause you
to lose control of the vehicle resulting in an accident.

OHA031002

Front seat adjustment
Forward and rearward
To move the seat forward or rearward:
1. Pull the seat slide adjustment lever up
and hold it.
2. Slide the seat to the position you
desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the
seat is locked in place.
Adjust the seat before driving, and make
sure the seat is locked securely by trying
to move forward and rearward without
using the lever. If the seat moves, it is not
locked properly.

front portion of the seatback recline
lever.
2. Carefully lean back on the seat and
adjust the seatback of the seat to the
position you desire.
3. Release the lever and make sure the
seatback is locked in place. (The lever
MUST return to its original position for
the seatback to lock.)

Headrest
The driver's and front passenger's seats
are equipped with a headrest for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for the driver and front passenger, but
also helps to protect the head and neck
in the event of a collision.

• For maximum effectiveness in
case of an accident, the headrest
should be adjusted so the middle
of the headrest is at the same
height of the center of gravity of
an occupant's head. Generally,
the center of gravity of most people's head is similar with the
height of the top of their eyes.
Also, adjust the headrest as
close to your head as possible.
For this reason, the use of a
cushion that holds the body away
from the seatback is not recommended.
• Do not operate the vehicle with
the headrests removed as severe
injury to the occupants may
occur in the event of an accident.
Headrests may provide protection against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.
• Do not adjust the headrest height
while the vehicle is in motion.

Rear seat adjustment
Headrest
The rear seat(s) is equipped with headrests in the outboard seating positions
for the occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort
for passengers, but also helps to protect
the head and neck in the event of a collision.

The purpose of the fold-down rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry
longer objects that could not be
accommodated in the cargo area.
Never allow passengers to sit on
top of the folded down seatback
while the car is moving as this is
not a proper seating position and
no seat belts are available for use.
This could result in serious injury
or death in case of an accident or
sudden stop. Objects carried on
the folded down seatback should
not extend higher than the top of
the front seatbacks. Doing this
could allow cargo to slide forward
and cause injury or damage during
sudden stops.

SEAT BELTS
Seat belt restraint system

WARNING
• For maximum restraint system
protection, the seat belts must
always be used whenever the car
is moving.
• Seat belts are most effective
when seatbacks are in the
upright position.
• Children age 12 and under must
always be properly restrained in
the rear seat. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat. If a child over 12 must
be seated in the front seat, he/she
must be properly belted and the
seat should be moved as far back
as possible.
• Never wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your
back. An improperly positioned
shoulder belt can cause serious
injuries in a crash. The shoulder
belt should be positioned midway over your shoulder across
your collarbone.
(Continued)

5 10

(Continued)
• Avoid wearing twisted seat belts.
A twisted belt can't do its job as
well. In a collision, it could even
cut into you. Be sure the belt
webbing is straight and not twisted.
• Be careful not to damage the belt
webbing or hardware. If the belt
webbing or hardware is damaged, replace it.

WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear
upon the bony structure of the
body, and should be worn low
across the front of the pelvis or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as
applicable; wearing the lap section
of the belt across the abdominal
area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may
safely be carried out using mild
soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.
(Continued)

Safety features of your vehicle

(Continued)
It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. Belts
should not be worn with straps
twisted. Each belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a belt around a
child being carried on the occupant's lap.

WARNING
No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.

Lap/shoulder belt
To fasten your seat belt:
To fasten your seat belt, pull it out of the
retractor and insert the metal tab (1) into
the buckle (2). There will be an audible
"click" when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length only after the lap belt portion is adjusted manually so that it fits
snugly around your hips. If you lean forward in a slow, easy motion, the belt will
extend and let you move around. If there
is a sudden stop or impact, however, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.

All occupants of the vehicle must
wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints
reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries for all occupants in the
event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants
could be shifted too close to a
deploying air bag, strike the interior
structure or be thrown from the
vehicle. Properly worn seat belts
greatly reduce these hazards.
Always follow the precautions
about seat belts, air bag and occupant seating contained in this manual.

Infant or small child
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat. For
more information about the use of these
restraints, refer to “Child restraint system” in this section.

WARNING
Every person in your vehicle needs
to be properly restrained at all
times, including infants and children. Never hold a child in your
arms or lap when riding in a vehicle. The violent forces created during a crash will tear the child from
your arms and throw the child
against the interior. Always use a
child restraint appropriate for your
child's height and weight.

Safety features of your vehicle
✽ NOTICE
Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the requirements of the Safety Standards of your
country. Before buying any child
restraint system, make sure that it has a
label certifying that it meets Safety
Standards of your country. The restraint
must be appropriate for your child's
height and weight. Check the label on
the child restraint for this information.
Refer to “Child restraint system” in this
section.

Larger children
Children who are too large for child
restraint systems should always occupy
the rear seat and use the available
lap/shoulder belts. The lap portion
should be fastened snug on the hips and
as low as possible. Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming could put the
belt out of position. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of an accident when they are restrained by a proper restraint system in the rear seat. If a
larger child (over age 12) must be seated
in the front seat, the child should be
securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position. Children
age 12 and under should be restrained
securely in the rear seat. NEVER place a
child age 12 and under in the front seat.
NEVER place a rear facing child seat in
the front seat of a vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion slightly touches the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck they need to be returned to a
child restraint system.

WARNING - Shoulder belts
on small children
• Never allow a shoulder belt to
come in contact with a child’s
neck or face while the vehicle is
in motion.
• If seat belts are not properly worn
and adjusted on children, there is
a risk of death or serious injury.

5 15

Safety features of your vehicle

Pregnant women
The use of a seat belt is recommended
for pregnant women to lessen the
chance of injury in an accident. When a
seat belt is used, the lap belt portion
should be placed as low and snugly as
possible on the hips, not across the
abdomen. For specific recommendations, consult a physician.
Injured person
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
When this is necessary, you should consult a physician for recommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.

5 16

Do not lie down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the event
of an accident and to achieve maximum
effectiveness of the restraint system, all passengers should be sitting up and the front
and rear seats should be in an upright position when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot provide proper protection if the person is
lying down in the rear seat or if the front and
rear seats are in a reclined position.

WARNING
Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious or
fatal injuries in the event of a collision or sudden stop. The protection of your restraint system (seat
belts and air bag) is greatly reduced
by reclining your seat. Seat belts
must be snugged against your hips
and chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined, the
greater the chance that an occupant's hips will slide under the lap
belt causing serious internal
injuries or the occupant's neck
could strike the shoulder belt.
Drivers and passengers should
always sit well back in their seats,
properly belted, and with the seatbacks upright.

Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be disassembled or modified. In addition, care
should be taken to assure that seat belts
and belt hardware are not damaged by
seat hinges, doors or other abuse.

WARNING
A seat belt with damaged webbing
or buckle could possibly fail during
a collision or sudden stop, resulting in serious injury. If the webbing
or buckles are damaged, get them
replaced immediately.

Safety features of your vehicle

Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected periodically for wear or damage of any kind.
Any damaged parts should be replaced
as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and dry.
If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
Entire in-use seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an accident.
This should be done even if no damage
is visible. We recommend that you consult questions concerning seat belt operation should be directed to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Safety features of your vehicle
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Children riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in the
front seat. Larger children not in a child
restraint should use one of the seat belts
provided.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
and/or infant safety seats must be properly placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Safety Standards of
your country.
Child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the
lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child restraint
system, make sure it fits your car seat
and seat belts, and fits your child.

5 18

Follow all the instructions provided by the
manufacturer when installing the child
restraint system.

WARNING
• A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never
install a child or infant seat on the
front passenger's seat. Should an
accident occur and cause the
passenger-side air bag to deploy,
it could severely injure or kill an
infant or child seated in an infant
or child seat. Thus only use a
child restraint in the rear seat of
your vehicle.
• A seat belt or child restraint system can become very hot if it is
left in a closed vehicle on a sunny
day, even if the outside temperature does not feel hot. Be sure to
check the seat cover and buckles
before placing a child there.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• When the child restraint system
is not in use, store it in the luggage area or fasten it with a seat
belt so that it will not be thrown
forward in the case of a sudden
stop or an accident.
• Children may be seriously
injured or killed by an inflating air
bag. All children, even those too
large for child restraints, must
ride in the rear seat.

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries:
• Children of all ages are safer
when restrained in the rear seat.
A child riding in the front passenger seat can be forcefully struck
by an inflating air bag resulting in
serious or fatal injuries.
• Always follow the child restraint
system manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use of
the child restraint.
• Always make sure the child seat
is secured properly in the car and
your child is securely restrained
in the child seat.
• Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when riding in a vehicle. The
violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the car’s interior.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into the
child causing serious internal
injuries.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• Never leave children unattended
in a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious
injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadvertently cause the vehicle to move,
entangle themselves in the windows, or lock themselves or others inside the vehicle.
• Never allow two children, or any
two persons, to use the same
seat belt.
• Children often squirm and reposition themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with the
shoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always properly position and secure children
in the rear seat.
• Never allow a child to stand-up or
kneel on the seat or floor of a
moving vehicle. During a collision or sudden stop, the child
can be violently thrown against
the vehicle’s interior, resulting in
serious injury.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not provide adequate security in an accident.
• Seat belts can become very hot,
especially when the car is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fastening them over a child.

AIR BAG - SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Even in vehicles with air bags, you
and your passengers must always
wear the safety belts provided in
order to minimize the risk and
severity of injury in the event of a
collision or rollover.

OHA031014

① Driver’s front air bag (if equipped)

✽ NOTICE
The actual air bags in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.

How does the air bag system
operate
• An air bag is activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START
position.
• An air bag inflates instantly in the event
of a serious frontal collision in order to
help protect the occupant from serious
physical injury.
• Generally, an air bag is designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a collision and its direction. These two factors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic deployment/
inflation signal.
• An air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the density and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. The determining factors are
not limited to those mentioned above.
• The driver’s front air bag will completely inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to see
the air bag inflate during an accident.

5 23

Safety features of your vehicle

It is much more likely that you will simply see the deflated air bag hanging
out of the storage compartment after
the collision.
• In order to help provide protection in a
severe collision, the air bag must inflate
rapidly. The speed of air bag inflation is
a consequence of the extremely short
time in which a collision occurs and the
need to inflate the air bag between the
occupant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or lifethreatening injuries in a severe collision
and is thus a necessary part of an air
bag design.
However, an air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include facial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inflation speed also causes the air bag to expand with a great
deal of force.
• There are even circumstances
under which contact with the steering wheel can cause fatal injuries,
especially if the occupant is positioned excessively close to the
steering wheel.

5 24

WARNING
• To avoid severe personal injury
or death caused by a deploying
air bag in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possible (at least 250 mm (10 inches)
away).
• An air bag inflates instantly in the
event of a collision, and the driver may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if he/she is not in
a proper position.
• An air bag inflation may cause
injuries including facial or bodily
abrasions, injuries from broken
glasses or burns.

Noise and smoke
When the air bag inflates, it makes a loud
noise and leaves smoke and powder in
the air inside of the vehicle. This is normal and is a result of the ignition of the
air bag inflator. After the air bag inflates,
you may feel substantial discomfort in
breathing due to the contact of your
chest with both the seat belt and the air
bag, as well as from breathing the smoke
and powder. Open your doors and/or
windows as soon as possible after
impact in order to reduce discomfort
and prevent prolonged exposure to
the smoke and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are nontoxic, they may cause irritation to the skin
(eyes, nose and throat, etc). If this is the
case, wash and rinse with cold water
immediately and consult a doctor if the
symptom persists.

SRS components and functions

WARNING

The SRS consists of the following components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Air bag warning light
3. SRS control module (SRSCM)

When the air bag deploys, the air
bag related parts in the steering
wheel are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch the air bag
storage area’s internal components
immediately after an air bag has
inflated.

W7-147

Air bag warning light
The purpose of the air bag warning light
in your instrument panel is to alert you of
a potential problem with your air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
When the ignition switch is turned ON,
the warning light should illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds, then go off.
Have the system checked if:
• The light does not turn on briefly when
you turn the ignition ON.
• The light stays on after illuminating for
approximately 6 seconds.
• The light comes on while the vehicle is
in motion.
• The light blinks when the ignition
switch is in ON position.

5 25

Safety features of your vehicle

The SRSCM continually monitors all
SRS components while the ignition
switch is ON to determine if a crash
impact is severe enough to require air
bag deployment.
The SRS " " warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for about
6 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, after which the
SRS " " warning light should go out.

Driver’s front air bag (1)

Driver’s front air bag (2)

B240B01L-R

B240B02L-R

The front air bag module is located in the
center of the steering wheel. When the
SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe
impact to the front of the vehicle, it will
automatically deploy the front air bag.

Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
air bag. Further opening of the cover
then allows full inflation of the air bag.

Safety features of your vehicle

Driver’s front air bag (3)

WARNING

B240B03L-R

A fully inflated air bag, in combination
with a properly worn seat belt, slows the
driver's forward motion, reducing the risk
of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling the
driver to maintain forward visibility and
the ability to steer or operate other controls.

• If an air bag deploys, there may
be a loud noise followed by a fine
dust released in the vehicle.
These conditions are normal and
are not hazardous - the air bag is
packed in this fine powder. The
dust generated during air bag
deployment may cause skin or
eye irritation as well as aggravate
asthma for some people. Always
wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly with lukewarm water and
mild soap after an accident in
which the air bag deployed.
• Before you replace a fuse or disconnect a battery terminal, turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK

OHA031013

Driver's front air bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag)
System and lap/shoulder belts at the
driver seating position. The indication of
the system's presence are the letters
"AIR BAG" embossed on the air bag pad
cover in the steering wheel.
The SRS consists of an air bag installed
under the pad covers in the center of the
steering wheel.

5 27

Safety features of your vehicle

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt system
alone in case of a frontal impact of sufficient severity.

5 28

WARNING
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every time,
everyone! An air bag inflates with
considerable force and in the blink
of an eye. Seat belts help keep
occupants in proper position to
obtain maximum benefit from the
air bag. Even with air bags, improperly and unbelted occupants can be
severely injured when the air bag
inflates. Always follow the precautions about seat belts, air bags and
occupant safety contained in this
manual.
To reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries and receive the maximum safety benefit from your
restraint system:
• Never place a child in any child or
booster seat in the front seat.
• ABC – Always Buckle Children in
the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age to
ride.
• The driver’s front air bag can
injure the driver improperly positioned in the driver’s seat.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• Move your seat as far back as
possible from the air bag, while
still maintaining control of the
vehicle.
• You should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bag. Improperly positioned drivers can be severely injured by an
inflating air bag.
• Never lean against the door or
center console – always sit in an
upright position.
• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel because such
object could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a crash severe
enough to cause the air bag to
deploy.
• Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to accidental deployment of the air bag
or by rendering the SRS inoperative.
(Continued)

Safety features of your vehicle

(Continued)
• If the SRS air bag warning light
remains illuminated while the
vehicle is being driven, have the
air bag system checked as soon
as possible. We recommend that
you have it done by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.
• Air bags can only be used oncewe recommend that the system
be replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer immediately
after deployment.
• The SRS is designed to deploy
the driver’s front air bag only
when an impact is sufficiently
severe and when the impact
angle is less than 30° from the
forward longitudinal axis of the
vehicle. Additionally, the air bag
will only deploy once. Seat belts
must be worn at all times.
• The driver’s front air bag is not
intended to deploy in sideimpact, rear-impact or rollover
crashes. In addition, the driver’s
front air bag will not deploy in
frontal crashes below the deployment threshold.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occupants including the driver should
always wear their seat belts
whether or not an air bag is also
provided at their seating position
to minimize the risk of severe
injury or death in the event of a
crash. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the air bag while
the vehicle is in motion.
• Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centered on the seat cushion with
their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and their feet on
the floor until the vehicle is
parked and the ignition key is
removed.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• The SRS air bag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an occupant is out of position because of
not wearing a seat belt, the air
bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal
injuries.

Safety features of your vehicle

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision? (Inflation and non-inflation conditions of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, second or
third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts. In other words, just because
your vehicle is damaged and even if it
is totally unusable, do not be surprised that the air bag did not inflate.

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING
• Do not hit or allow any objects to
impact the locations where an air
bag or sensor is installed.
This may cause unexpected air
bag deployment, which could
result in serious personal injury
or death.
• If the installation location or
angle of the sensor is altered in
any way, the air bag may deploy
when it should not or it may not
deploy when they should, causing severe injury or death.
Therefore, do not try to perform
maintenance on or around the air
bag sensor. We recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• Your vehicle has been designed
to absorb impact and deploy the
air bag in certain collisions.
Installing bumper guards or
replacing a bumper with nongenuine parts may adversely
affect your vehicle’s collision and
air bag deployment performance.

OPA037040

Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bag
The front air bag is designed to inflate in
a frontal collision depending on the intensity, speed or angles of impact of the
front collision.

5 31

Safety features of your vehicle

OPA037041

OPA037042

OSA038121

Air bag non-inflation conditions
• In certain low-speed collisions the air
bag may not deploy. The air bag is
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts
in such collisions.

• The front air bag is not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because occupants are moved backward by the
force of the impact. In this case, an
inflated air bag would not be able to
provide any additional benefit.

• The front air bag may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move to the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag
deployment would not provide additional occupant protection.

5 32

Safety features of your vehicle

1VQA2089

OPA037043

OED036104

• In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bag would not
be able to provide any additional benefit, and thus the sensor may not
deploy the air bag.

• Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers
the front portion of the vehicle causing
it to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher ground clearance. The air bag may
not inflate in this "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by the sensor may be significantly reduced by such “under-ride”
collisions.

• The air bag may not inflate in rollover
accidents because air bag deployment
would not provide protection to the
occupant.

5 33

Safety features of your vehicle

SRS Care
The SRS is virtually maintenance-free
and so there are no parts you can safely
service by yourself. If the SRS " "
warning light does not illuminate, or continuously remains on, have your vehicle
immediately inspected. We recommend
that you have it done by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.

OSA038122

• The air bag may not inflate if the vehicle collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is not delivered to the sensor.

5 34

WARNING
• Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition
of any kind of badges to the pad
covers or modifications to the
body structure, can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
• For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft, dry cloth or
one which has been moistened
with plain water. Solvents or
cleaners could adversely affect
the air bag covers and proper
deployment of the system.
• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel because such
object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to
cause the air bag to inflate.
(Continued)

Safety features of your vehicle

(Continued)
• If the air bags inflate, we recommend that the system be
replaced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not tamper with or disconnect
SRS wiring, or other components
of the SRS system. Doing so
could result in injury, due to accidental inflation of the air bag or
by rendering the SRS inoperative.
• If components of the air bag system must be discarded, or if the
vehicle must be scrapped, certain
safety precautions must be
observed. An authorized HYUNDAI
dealer knows these precautions
and can give you the necessary
information. Failure to follow
these precautions and procedures could increase the risk of
personal injury.
• If your car was flooded and has
soaked carpeting or water on
flooring, you shouldn't try to start
the engine; we recommend that
you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Adding equipment to or modifying
your air bag-equipped vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system,
front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle's air bag system.

WARNING - Refueling dangers
Automotive fuels are flammable
materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines carefully. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in severe personal
injury, severe burns or death by fire
or explosion.
• Read and follow all warning at the
gas station facility.
• Before refueling note the location
of the Emergency Gasoline ShutOff, if available, at the gas station
facility.
• Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity discharge by touching another
metal part of the vehicle, a safe
distance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas source.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling
since you can generate static
electricity by touching, rubbing
or sliding against any item or fabric (polyester, satin, nylon, etc.)
capable of producing static electricity. Static electricity discharge
can ignite fuel vapors resulting in
rapid burning. If you must reenter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity discharge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gasoline source.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sure
to place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. Once refueling has
begun, contact with the vehicle
should be maintained until the
filling is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic fuel containers designed to
carry and store gasoline.
• Do not use cellular phones while

STEERING WHEEL
Electronic power steering (EPS)
(if equipped)
Power steering uses the motor to assist
you in steering the vehicle. If the engine
is off or if the power steering system
becomes inoperative, the vehicle may
still be steered, but it will require
increased steering effort.
The motor driven power steering is controlled by the power steering control unit
which senses the steering wheel torque
and vehicle speed to command the
motor.
The steering wheel becomes heavier as
the vehicle’s speed increases and
becomes lighter as the vehicle’s speed
decreases for better control of the steering wheel.
Should you notice any change in the
effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the power steering checked. We recommend that you
have it done by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.

✽ NOTICE
The following symptoms may occur during normal vehicle operation:
• The EPS warning light does not illuminate.
• The steering effort is high immediately after turning the ignition switch on.
This happens as the system performs
the EPS system diagnostics. When the
diagnostics is completed, the steering
wheel will return to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is
turned to the ON or LOCK position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driving
speed.
• If the Electronic Power Steering
System does not operate normally, the
warning light will illuminate on the
instrument cluster. The steering wheel
may become difficult to control or
operate abnormally. We recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• The steering effort increases if the
steering wheel is rotated continuously
when the vehicle is not in motion.
However, after a few minutes, it will
return to its normal condition.
• When you operate the steering wheel
in low temperature, abnormal noise
could occur. If temperature rises, the
noise will disappear. This is a normal
condition.

are filled with environmentally friendly
R-134a refrigerant which does not damage the ozone layer.
1. Start the engine. Push the air conditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the
position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside
air or recirculated air position.
4. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
• When maximum cooling is desired, set
the temperature control to the lowest
temperature, set the air intake control
to the recirculated air position, then set
the fan speed control to the highest
speed.

✽ NOTICE
• When using the air conditioning system, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside temperatures are high. Air conditioning system operation may cause engine overheating. Continue to use the fan but
turn the air conditioning system off if
the temperature gauge indicates
engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in humid
weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equipment,
air conditioning should only be used
with the windows closed.
Air conditioning system operation tips
• If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
• To help reduce moisture inside of the
windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehicle by operating the air conditioning
system.

6 46

• During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
• Use the air conditioning system every
month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.
• When using the air conditioning system, you may notice clear water dripping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehicle. This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
• Operating the air conditioning system
in the recirculated air position provides
maximum cooling, however, continue
operating in this mode may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become stale.
• During cooling operation, you may
occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system operation characteristics.

Climate control air filter
(if equipped)
The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the vehicle from the outside through the heating
and air conditioning system. If dust or
other pollutants accumulate in the filter
over a period of time, the air flow from
the air vents may decrease, resulting in
moisture accumulation on the inside of
the windshield even when the outside
(fresh) air position is selected. If this happens, have the climate control air filter
checked. We recommend that you have
it checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.

• Inspect and clean the filter according
to the Maintenance Schedule.
If the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty or rough
roads, more frequent air conditioner
filter inspections and cleaning are
required.
• When the air flow rate suddenly
decreases, the system should be
checked. We recommend that you
have it checked by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.

Checking the amount of air conditioner refrigerant and compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a negative
impact on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected. We
recommend that you have it inspected by
an authorized Hyundai dealer.

✽ NOTICE
It is important when servicing the air
conditioning system that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, damage to the compressor and abnormal system operation
may occur.

WARNING
Improper service may cause serious injury to the person performing
the service. For more detailed information, we recommend that you
contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

WARNING - ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Engine exhaust fumes can be extremely dangerous. If, at any time, you smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately.
• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause unconsciousness 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. If you hear
a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the car, have the
exhaust system checked as soon as possible. We recommend that you have it checked 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. Never run the engine in your
garage any longer than it takes to start the engine and back the car out.
• Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the car.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the car, be sure to do so only in an open area
with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan operating at one of the higher speeds so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
If you must drive with the tailgate open because you are carrying objects that make this necessary:
1. Close all windows.
2. Open side vents.
3. Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face" and the fan at one of the higher speeds.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, be sure the ventilation air intakes located just in front of the windshield are
kept clear of snow, ice, leaves or other obstructions.

Fluid levels, such as engine oil, engine
coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid
should be checked on a regular basis,
with the exact interval depending on the
fluid. Further details are provided in section 9, “Maintenance”.

WARNING
All passengers must be properly
belted whenever the vehicle is
moving. Refer to “Seat belts” in
section 5 for more information on
their proper use.

WARNING
Always check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for people,
especially children, before driving.

WARNING - Driving under
the influence of alcohol or
drugs
Drinking and driving is dangerous.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Driving
while under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous or more dangerous
than driving drunk.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or
take drugs and drive.
If you are drinking or taking drugs,
don’t drive. Do not ride with a driver who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a cab.

WARNING
When you intend to park or stop the

STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING
Always wear appropriate shoes
when operating your vehicle.
Unsuitable shoes (high heels, ski
boots,etc.) may interfere with your
ability to use the brake and accelerator pedal.

1. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and shift
the transaxle into Neutral. Keep the
clutch pedal and brake pedal
depressed while turning the ignition
switch to the start position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to START and
hold it there until the engine starts (a
maximum of 10 seconds), then release
the key.
4. In extremely cold weather (below
-18°C / 0°F) or after the vehicle has not
been operated for several days, let the
engine warm up without depressing
the accelerator.
Whether the engine is cold or warm, it
should be started without depressing
the accelerator.

CAUTION
Do not engage the starter for more
than 10 seconds. If the engine stalls
or fails to start, wait 5 to 10 seconds
before re-engaging the starter.
Improper use of the starter may
damage it.

Driving your vehicle
MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION

OHA051001

Manual transaxle operation
The manual transaxle has 5 forward
gears.
This shift pattern is imprinted on the shift
knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized
in all forward gears so shifting to either a
higher or a lower gear is easily accomplished.
Depress the clutch pedal down fully while
shifting, then release it slowly.
The gearshift lever must return to the
neutral position before shifting into R
(Reverse).
Make sure the vehicle completely stops
before shifting into R (Reverse).
Never operate the engine with the
tachometer (rpm) in the red zone.

7 6

• When downshifting from 5th (fifth)
gear to 4th (fourth) gear, caution
should be taken not to inadvertently move the shift lever sideways in such a manner that 2nd
(second) gear is engaged. Such a
drastic downshift may cause the
engine speed to increase to the
point that the tachometer will
enter the red-zone. Such overrevving of the engine may possibly cause engine damage.
• Do not downshift more than 2
gears or downshift the gear when
the engine is running at high
speed (5,000 RPM or higher).
Such downshifting may damage
the engine.

• During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transaxle lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not
harmful to the transaxle.
• If you have come to a complete stop
and it is hard to shift into 1st (first) or R
(Reverse), put the shift lever in neutral
position and release the clutch pedal.
Depress the clutch pedal back down,
and then shift into 1st (first) or R
(Reverse) gear position.

CAUTION
• To avoid premature clutch wear
and damage, do not drive with
your foot resting on the clutch
pedal. Also, do not use the clutch
to hold the vehicle on an uphill
grade, while waiting for a traffic
light, etc.
• Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as this
can result in premature wear of
the transaxle shift forks.

Driving your vehicle

WARNING
• Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always set the parking brake fully
and shut the engine off. Then
make sure the transaxle is shifted
into 1st (first) gear when the vehicle is parked on a level or uphill
grade, and shifted into R
(Reverse) on a downhill grade.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement can occur if these precautions are not followed in the
order identified.
• If your vehicle has a manual
transaxle not equipped with a
ignition lock switch, it may move
and cause a serious accident
when starting the engine without
depressing the clutch pedal while
the parking brake is released and
the shift lever not in the neutral
position.

Using the clutch
The clutch pedal should be depressed all
the way to the floor before shifting, then
released slowly. The clutch pedal should
always be fully released while driving. Do
not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving. This can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially engage the
clutch to hold the car on an incline. This
causes unnecessary wear. Use the foot
brake or parking brake to hold the car on
an incline. Do not operate the clutch
pedal rapidly and repeatedly.

Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy traffic or while driving up steep hills, downshift before the engine starts to labor.
Downshifting reduces the chance of
stalling and gives better acceleration
when you again need to increase your
speed. When the vehicle is traveling
down steep hills, downshifting helps
maintain safe speed and prolongs brake
life.

CAUTION
When operating the clutch pedal,
fully dpress the clutch pedal. If you
do not depress the clutch pedal
fully, the clutch may be damaged or
noise may occur.

7 7

Driving your vehicle

Good driving practices
• Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the car in
gear.
• Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when you are driving
down a long hill, slow down and shift to
a lower gear. When you do this, engine
braking will help slow the car.
• Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
• Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better control of your car.
• Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into reverse.
The transaxle can be damaged if you
do not. To shift into R (Reverse),
depress the clutch, move the shift lever
to neutral, wait 3 seconds, then shift to
the R (Reverse) position.
• Exercise extreme caution when driving
on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.

7 8

WARNING
• Always buckle-up! In a collision,
an unbelted occupant is significantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properly
belted occupant.
• Avoid high speeds when cornering or turning.
• Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
• The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
• Lossing of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.
• When leaveing the roadway, do
not steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into the
travel lanes.
• Never exceed posted speed limits.

Driving your vehicle
BRAKE SYSTEM
Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of a stalled
engine or some other reason, you can
still stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than you normally would. The stopping distance,
however, will be longer.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied. Do
not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when necessary to maintain steering control on slippery surfaces.

WARNING - Brakes
• Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. This will
create abnormal high brake temperatures, excessive brake lining
and pad wear, and increased
stopping distances.
• When descending a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear and
avoid continuous application of
the brakes. Continuous brake
application will cause the brakes
to overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehicle’s ability to safely slow down;
the vehicle may also pull to one
side when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test
your brakes in this fashion after
driving through deep water. To
dry the brakes, apply them lightly
while maintaining a safe forward
speed until brake performance
returns to normal.

In the event of brake failure
If service brakes fail to operate while the
vehicle is in motion, you can make an
emergency stop with the parking brake.
The stopping distance, however, will be
much greater than normal.

WARNING - Parking brake
Applying the parking brake while
the vehicle is moving at normal
speed can cause a sudden loss of
control of the vehicle. If you must
use the parking brake to stop the
vehicle, use great caution in applying the brake.

make sure the shift lever is
securely positioned in 1st (first)
gear or R (Reverse).
• Never allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the vehicle to touch
the parking brake. If the parking
brake is released unintentionally,
serious injury may occur.
• All vehicles should always have
the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadvertent movement of the car which
can injure occupants or pedestrians.

W-75

Check the brake warning light by turning
the ignition switch ON (do not start the
engine). This light will be illuminated
when the parking brake is applied with
the ignition switch in the START or ON
position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is fully released and the brake warning
light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released, there
may be a malfunction in the brake system. Immediate attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehicle immediately. If that is not possible,
use extreme caution while operating the
vehicle and only continue to drive the
vehicle until you can reach a safe location or repair shop.

Good braking practices

WARNING
• Whenever you leave or park your
vehicle, always set the parking
brake as far as possible and fully
engage the vehicle's transaxle
into 1st (first) gear. If the parking
brake is not fully engaged, the
vehicle may move inadvertently
and injure yourself and others.
• All vehicles should always have
the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadvertent movement of the car which
can injure occupants or pedestrians.
• Check to be sure the parking brake is
not engaged and that the parking
brake indicator light is out before driving away.
• Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.
Wet brakes may cause the car to pull
to one side.

7 12

To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal, taking care to keep the car
under control at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal, stop
as soon as it is safe to do so and call
for assistance. We recommend that
you contact an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
• Do not coast down hills with the car out
of gear. This is extremely hazardous.
Keep the car in gear at all times, use
the brakes to slow down, then shift to a
lower gear so that engine braking will
help you maintain a safe speed.
• Do not "ride" the brake pedal. Resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving can be dangerous because the
brakes might overheat and lose their
effectiveness. It also increases the
wear of the brake components.
• If a tyre goes flat while you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
car pointed straight ahead while you
slow down. When you are moving
slowly enough for it to be safe to do so,
pull off the road and stop in a safe
place.

• Be cautious when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake and
place the shift lever in 1st (first) or R
(Reverse) gear. If your car is facing
downhill, turn the front wheels into the
curb to help keep the car from rolling. If
your car is facing uphill, turn the front
wheels away from the curb to help
keep the car from rolling. If there is no
curb or if it is required by other conditions to keep the car from rolling, block
the wheels.
• Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk that
the parking brake may freeze, apply it
only temporarily while you put the shift
lever in 1st (first) or R (Reverse) gear
and block the rear wheels so the car
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
• Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transaxle to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or parking
brake.

Driving your vehicle
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where you
drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how many
kilometers (miles) you can get from a liter
(gallon) of fuel. To operate your vehicle
as economically as possible, use the following driving suggestions to help save
money in both fuel and repairs:
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Do not make "jack-rabbit"
starts or full-throttle shifts and maintain
a steady cruising speed. Do not race
between stoplights. Try to adjust your
speed to the traffic so you do not have
to change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces
brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The faster
you drive, the more fuel your car uses.
Driving at a moderate speed, especially on the highway, is one of the most
effective ways to reduce fuel consumption.

• Do not "ride" the brake pedal. This can
increase fuel consumption and also
increase wear on these components.
In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedal may cause the
brakes to overheat, which reduces
their effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
• Take care of your tyres. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pressure.
Incorrect inflation, either too much or
too little, results in unnecessary tyre
wear. Check the tyre pressures at least
once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment can
result from hitting curbs or driving too
fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tyre wear and may
also result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption.
• Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reduced
maintenance costs, maintain your car
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in section 9. If you drive your
car in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see section 9
for details).

• Keep your car clean. For maximum
service, your vehicle should be kept
clean and free of corrosive materials. It
is especially important that mud, dirt,
ice, etc. not be allowed to accumulate
on the underside of the car. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel consumption and also contribute to corrosion.
• Travel lightly. Do not carry unnecessary weight in your car. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
• Do not let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (and not
in traffic), turn off your engine and
restart only when you are ready to go.
• Remember, your vehicle does not
require extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warm-up period.
• Do not "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in a very
high gear resulting in engine bucking.
If this happens, shift to a lower gear.
Over-revving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can be
avoided by shifting at recommended
speeds.

7 13

Driving your vehicle

• Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is operated by engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.
• Open windows at high speeds can
reduce fuel economy.
• Fuel economy is less in crosswinds
and headwinds. To help offset some of
this loss, slow down when driving in
these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating condition is important both for economy and
safety. Therefore, we recommend that
you contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to perform scheduled inspections
and maintenance.

7 14

WARNING - Engine off
during motion
Never turn the engine off to coast
down hills or anytime the vehicle is
in motion. The power steering and
power brakes will not function
properly without the engine running. Instead, keep the engine on
and downshift to an appropriate
gear for engine braking effect. In
addition, turning off the ignition
while driving could engage the
steering wheel lock resulting in
loss of vehicle steering which
could cause serious injury or
death.

Driving your vehicle
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous driving conditions

Rocking the vehicle

When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and allow extra distance for braking.
• Avoid sudden braking or steering.
• Pump the brake pedal with a light upand-down motion until the vehicle is
stopped.
• If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tyre chains, or
other non-slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when stalled
in ice, snow, or mud.

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)
1st (first) or 2nd (second) gear. Do not race
the engine, and spin the wheels as little
as possible. If you are still stuck after a
few tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a
tow vehicle to avoid engine overheating
and possible damage to the transaxle.

CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause
engine over-heating, transaxle
damage or failure, and tyre damage.

WARNING - Spinning tyres
Do not spin the wheels, especially
at speeds more than 56 km/h (35
mph). Spinning the wheels at high
speeds when the vehicle is stationary could cause a tyre to overheat
which could result in tyre damage
that may injure bystanders.

WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you
may attempt to rock the vehicle free
by moving it forward and backward. Do not attempt this procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation the vehicle may
suddenly move forward of backward as it becomes unstuck, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.

Smooth cornering

Driving at night

Avoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tyre wear will be held
to a minimum.

Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight, here
are some important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.

7 16

• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare
from other driver's headlights.
• Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed on vehicles not equipped
with the automatic headlight aiming
feature. Dirty or improperly aimed
headlights will make it much more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the headlights
of oncoming vehicles. You could be
temporarily blind, and it will take several seconds for your eyes to readjust to
the darkness.

Driving your vehicle

1VQA3003

Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not prepared for the slick pavement. Here are a
few things to consider when driving in the
rain:
• A heavy rainfall will make it harder to
see and will increase the distance
needed to stop your vehicle, so slow
down.
• Keep your windshield wiping equipment in good shape. Replace your
windshield wiper blades when they
show signs of streaking or missing
areas on the windshield.

• If your tyres are not in good condition,
making a quick stop on wet pavement
can cause a skid and possibly lead to
an accident. Be sure your tyres are in
good shape.
• Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you.
• Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
• If you believe you may have gotten
your brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking operation returns.

Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no higher than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through water slowly. Allow adequate stopping distance because brake
performance may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.

7 17

Driving your vehicle

Highway driving
Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to
specification. Low tyre inflation pressures will result in overheating and possible failure of the tyres.
Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction or
tyre failure.

✽ NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tyre inflation pressure shown on the tyres.

7 18

WARNING
• Underinflated or overinflated
tyres can cause poor handling,
loss of vehicle control, and sudden tyre failure leading to accidents, injuries, and even death.
Always check tyres for proper
inflation before driving. For proper tyre pressures, refer to “Tyres
and wheels” in section 10.
• Driving on tyres with no or insufficient tread is dangerous. Wornout tyres can result in loss of
vehicle control, collisions, injury,
and even death. Worn-out tyres
should be replaced as soon as
possible and should never be
used for driving. Always check
the tyre tread before driving your
car. For further information and
tread limits, refer to “Tyres and
wheels” in section 9.

Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
High speed travel consumes more fuel
than urban motoring. Do not forget to
check both engine coolant and engine
oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may overheat the engine.

Driving your vehicle
WINTER DRIVING
Snowy or icy conditions

1VQA3005

Severe weather conditions of winter
result in greater wear and other problems. To minimize the problems of winter
driving, you should follow these suggestions:

To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tyres or
to install tyre chains on your tyres. If
snow tyres are needed, it is necessary to
select tyres equivalent in size and type of
the original equipment tyres. Failure to
do so may adversely affect the safety
and handling of your car. Furthermore,
speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden
brake applications, and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icy roads may cause
skids. You need to keep sufficient distance between the vehicle in operation in
front and your vehicle. Also, apply the
brake gently. It should be noted that
installing tyre chains on the tyre will provide greater driving force, but will not prevent side skids.

✽ NOTICE
Tyre chains are not legal in all countries.
Check the country laws before fitting
tyre chains.

Snow tyres
If you mount snow tyres on your vehicle,
make sure they are radial tyres of the
same size and load range as the original
tyres. Mount snow tyres on all four
wheels to balance your vehicle’s handling in all weather conditions. Keep in
mind that the traction provided by snow
tyres on dry roads may not be as high as
your vehicle's original equipment tyres.
You should drive cautiously even when
the roads are clear. Check with the tyre
dealer for maximum speed recommen-

WARNING - Snow tyre size
Snow tyres should be equivalent in
size and type to the vehicle's standard tyres. Otherwise, the safety
and handling of your vehicle may
be adversely affected.
dations.
Do not install studded tyres without first
checking local, state and municipal regulations for possible restrictions against
their use.

7 19

Driving your vehicle

CAUTION

1VQA3007

Tyre chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tyres are
thinner, they can be damaged by mounting some types of snow chains on them.
Therefore, the use of snow tyres is recommended instead of snow chains. Do
not mount tyre chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels; snow
chains may cause damage to the
wheels. If snow chains must be used,
use wire-type chains with a thickness of
less than 15 mm (0.59 in). Damage to
your vehicle caused by improper snow
chain use is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturers warranty.
Install tyre chains only on the front tyres.

7 20

• Make sure the snow chains are
the correct size and type for your
tyres. Incorrect snow chains can
cause damage to the vehicle
body and suspension and may
not be covered by your vehicle
manufacturer warranty. Also, the
snow chain connecting hooks
may be damaged from contacting
vehicle components causing the
snow chains to come loose from
the tyre. Make sure the snow
chains are SAE class “S” certified.
• Always check chain installation
for proper mounting after driving
approximately 0.5 to 1 km (0.3 to
0.6 miles) to ensure safe mounting. Retighten or remount the
chains if they are loose.

Chain installation
When installing chains, follow the manufacturer's instructions and mount them as
tightly as you can. Drive slowly with
chains installed. If you hear the chains
contacting the body or chassis, stop and
tighten them. If they still make contact,
slow down until it stops. Remove the
chains as soon as you begin driving on
cleared roads.

WARNING
- Mounting chains
When mounting snow chains, park
the vehicle on level ground away
from traffic. Turn on the vehicle
Hazard Warning flashers and place
a triangular emergency warning
device behind the vehicle if available. Always place the vehicle in 1st
(first) gear, apply the parking brake
and turn off the engine before
installing snow chains.

Driving your vehicle

WARNING - Tyre chains
• The use of chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling.
• Do not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph)
or the chain manufacturer’s recommended speed limit, whichever is lower.
• Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other
road hazards, which may cause
the vehicle to bounce.
• Avoid sharp turns or lockedwheel braking.

CAUTION
• Chains that are the wrong size or
improperly installed can damage
your vehicle's brake lines, suspension, body and wheels.
• Stop driving and retighten the
chains any time you hear them
hitting the vehicle.

Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant

Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary

Your vehicle is delivered with high quality ethylene glycol coolant in the cooling
system. It is the only type of coolant that
should be used because it helps prevent
corrosion in the cooling system, lubricates the water pump and prevents
freezing. Be sure to replace or replenish
your coolant in accordance with the
maintenance schedule in section 9.
Before winter, have your coolant tested
to assure that its freezing point is sufficient for the temperatures anticipated
during the winter.

In some climates it is recommended that
a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be
used during cold weather. See section
10 for recommendations. If you aren't
sure what weight oil you should use, we
recommend that you consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Check battery and cables

Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as described in
section 9 and replace them if necessary.
Also check all ignition wiring and components to be sure they are not cracked,
worn or damaged in any way.

Winter puts additional burdens on the
battery system. Visually inspect the battery and cables as described in section 9.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

7 21

Driving your vehicle

To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt an
approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into
the key opening. If a lock is covered with
ice, squirt it with an approved de-icing
fluid to remove the ice. If the lock is
frozen internally, you may be able to
thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle
the heated key with care to avoid injury.

Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window washer
system from freezing, add an approved
window washer anti-freeze solution in
accordance with instructions on the container. Window washer anti-freeze is
available from an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and most auto parts outlets. Do
not use engine coolant or other types of
anti-freeze as these may damage the
paint finish.

7 22

Don't let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged position. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk the parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the shift lever in 1st
(first) or R (Reverse) gear and block the
rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake.

Don't let ice and snow accumulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and interfere with the steering. When driving in
severe winter conditions where this may
happen, you should periodically check
underneath the car to be sure the movement of the front wheels and the steering
components is not obstructed.

Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the weather where you drive your car, you should
carry appropriate emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to carry
include tyre chains, tow straps or chains,
flashlight, emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper cables, window scraper,
gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, blanket,
etc.

VEHICLE WEIGHT
This section will guide you in the proper
loading of your vehicle and/or trailer, to
keep your loaded vehicle weight within
its design rating capability, with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of the
vehicle design performance. Before
loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself
with the following terms for determining
your vehicle's weight ratings, with or
without a trailer, from the vehicle's specifications and the certification label:
Base curb weight
This is the weight of the vehicle including
a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers,
cargo, or optional equipment.
Vehicle curb weight
This is the weight of your new vehicle
when you picked it up from your dealer
plus any aftermarket equipment.

Cargo weight
This figure includes all weight added to
the Base Curb Weight, including cargo
and optional equipment.
GAW (Gross axle weight)
This is the total weight placed on each
axle (front and rear) - including vehicle
curb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross axle weight rating)
This is the maximum allowable weight
that can be carried by a single axle (front
or rear). These numbers are shown on
the certification label.
The total load on each axle must never
exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross vehicle weight)
This is the Base Curb Weight plus actual
Cargo Weight plus passengers.

GVWR (Gross vehicle weight rating)
This is the maximum allowable weight of
the fully loaded vehicle (including all
options, equipment, passengers and
cargo). The GVWR is shown on the certification label located on the driver’s (or
front passenger’s) door sill.

CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.
You can damage a 12-volt starting
motor, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair by
use of a 24-volt power supply (either
two 12-volt batteries in series or a
24-volt motor generator set).

WARNING - Battery
Never attempt to check the electrolyte level of the battery as this
may cause the battery to rupture or
explode causing serious injury.

8 4

WARNING - Battery
• Keep all flames or sparks away
from the battery. The battery produces hydrogen gas which may
explode if exposed to flame or
sparks.
If these instructions are not followed exactly, serious personal
injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur! If you are not sure
how to follow this procedure,
seek
qualified
assistance.
Automobile batteries contain sulfuric acid. This is poisonous and
highly corrosive. When jump
starting, wear protective glasses
and be careful not to get acid on
yourself, your clothing or on the
car.
• Do not attempt to jump start the
vehicle if the discharged battery
is frozen or if the electrolyte level
is low; the battery may rupture or
explode.

What to do in an emergency

Jump starting procedure
1. Make sure the booster battery is 12volt and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to
come in contact.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the illustration. First connect one end of a jumper
cable to the positive terminal of the
discharged battery (1), then connect
the other end to the positive terminal
on the booster battery (2).
Proceed to connect one end of the
other jumper cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery (3), then
the other end to a solid, stationary,
metallic point (for example, the engine
lifting bracket) away from the battery
(4). Do not connect it to or near any
part that moves when the engine is
cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to contact anything except the correct battery
terminals or the correct ground. Do not
lean over the battery when making
connections.

CAUTION - Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable
from the negative terminal of the
booster battery to the negative terminal of the discharged battery.
This can cause the discharged battery to overheat and crack, releasing battery acid.

Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped vehicle
should not be push-started because it
might damage the emission control system.
Follow the directions in this section for
jump-starting.

WARNING
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the
booster battery and let it run at 2,000
rpm, then start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging is
not apparent, you should have your vehicle checked. We recommend that you
have the system checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.

Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.

8 5

What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss of
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking,
the engine is probably too hot. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it
is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in neutral and set
the parking brake. If the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under
the car or steam is coming out from
the hood, stop the engine. Do not
open the hood until the coolant has
stopped running or the steaming has
stopped. If there is no visible loss of
engine coolant and no steam, leave
the engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is operating. If the fan is not running, turn the
engine off.
4. Check to see if the water pump drive
belt is missing. If it is not missing,
check to see that it is tight. If the drive
belt seems to be satisfactory, check
for coolant leaking from the radiator,
hoses or under the car. (If the air conditioning had been in use, it is normal
for cold water to be draining from it
when you stop).

8 6

WARNING
While the engine is running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away from
moving parts such as the fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.
5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or engine coolant is leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and call for
assistance. We recommend that you
contact an authorized Hyundai dealer.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine temperature has returned to normal. Then,
if coolant has been lost, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir to bring the
fluid level in the reservoir up to the
halfway mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for
further signs of overheating. If overheating happens again, call for assistance. We recommend that you contact an authorized Hyundai dealer.

CAUTION
WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. This can
allow coolant to be blown out of the
opening and cause serious burns.

Serious loss of coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling system
and this should be checked. We recommend that you have the system
checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.

Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt (1)
counterclockwise.
Store the tyre in the reverse order of
removal.
To prevent the spare tyre and tools from
“rattling” while the vehicle is in motion,
store them properly.

Changing tyres
1. Park on a level surface and apply the
parking brake firmly.
2. Shift the shift lever into R (Reverse).
3. Activate the hazard warning flasher.

What to do in an emergency

WARNING - Changing a tyre
• To prevent vehicle movement
while changing a tyre, always set
the parking brake fully, and
always block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being
changed.
• We recommend that the wheels
of the vehicle be blocked, and
that no person remain in a vehicle that is being jacked.
OHA061004

OHA061005

4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench,
jack, jack handle, and spare tyre from
the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear of the
wheel that is diagonally opposite from
the jack position.

6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts counterclockwise one turn each, but do not
remove any nut until the tyre has been
raised off the ground.

OHA061008

7. Place the jack at the front or rear jacking position closest to the tyre you are
changing. Place the jack at the designated locations under the frame. The
jacking positions are plates welded to
the frame with two tabs and a raised
dot to index with the jack.

8. Insert the jack handle into the jack and
turn it clockwise, raising the vehicle
until the tyre just clears the ground.
This measurement is approximately
30 mm (1.2 in). Before removing the
wheel lug nuts, make sure the vehicle
is stable and that there is no chance
for movement or slippage.

WARNING - Jack location
To reduce the possibility of injury,
be sure to use only the jack provided with the vehicle and in the correct jack position; never use any
other part of the vehicle for jack
support.

8 10

9. Loosen the wheel nuts and remove
them with your fingers. Slide the wheel
off the studs and lay it flat so it cannot
roll away. To put the wheel on the
hub, pick up the spare tyre, line up the
holes with the studs and slide the
wheel onto them. If this is difficult, tip
the wheel slightly and get the top hole
in the wheel lined up with the top stud.
Then jiggle the wheel back and forth
until the wheel can be slid over the
other studs.

What to do in an emergency

WARNING
• Wheels and wheel covers may
have sharp edges. Handle them
carefully to avoid possible severe
injury.
• Before putting the wheel into
place, be sure that there is nothing on the hub or wheel (such as
mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that interferes with the wheel from fitting
solidly against the hub.
If there is, remove it. If the contact of the mounting surface
between the wheel and hub is not
good, the wheel nuts could come
loose and lose a wheel. Loss of a
wheel may result in losing control of the vehicle. This may
cause serious injury or death.

10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the
studs, put the wheel nuts on the
studs and tighten them finger tight.
The nuts should be installed with
their tapered small diameter ends
directed inward. Jiggle the tyre to be
sure it is completely seated, then
tighten the nuts as much as possible
with your fingers again.
11. Lower the car to the ground by turning the wheel nut wrench counterclockwise.

OHA061007

Then position the wrench as shown in
the drawing and tighten the wheel nuts.
Be sure the socket is seated completely
over the nut. Do not stand on the wrench
handle or use an extension pipe over the
wrench handle. Go around the wheel
tightening every nut following the numerical sequence shown in the image until
they are all tight. Then double-check
each nut for tightness. After changing
wheels, have the wheel nuts tightened to
their proper torque as soon as possible.
We recommend that you have it done by
an authorized Hyundai dealer.

8 11

What to do in an emergency

Wheel nut tightening torque:
Steel wheel & aluminum alloy wheel:
9~11 kg·m (65~79 lb·ft)
If you have a tyre gauge, remove the
valve cap and check the air pressure. If
the pressure is lower than recommended, drive slowly to the nearest service
station and inflate to the correct pressure. If it is too high, adjust it until it is
correct. Always reinstall the valve cap
after checking or adjusting tyre pressure.
If the cap is not replaced, air may leak
from the tyre. If you lose a valve cap, buy
another and install it as soon as possible.
After you have changed wheels, always
secure the flat tyre in its place and return
the jack and tools to their proper storage
locations.

8 12

CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on
the wheel studs and nuts. Make certain during wheel removal that the
same nuts that were removed are
reinstalled - or, if replaced, that
nuts with metric threads and the
same chamfer configuration are
used. Installation of a non-metric
thread nut on a metric stud or viceversa will not secure the wheel to
the hub properly and will damage
the stud so that it must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do not have
metric threads. Be sure to use
extreme care in checking for thread
style before installing aftermarket
lug nuts or wheels. If in doubt, we
recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING - Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they may
lose their ability to retain the wheel.
This could lead to a loss of the
wheel and a collision resulting in
serious injuries.
To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel
lug nut wrench and spare tyre from rattling while the vehicle is in motion, store
them properly.

WARNING - Inadequate
spare tyre pressure
Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing the
spare tyre. Adjust it to the specified
pressure, if necessary. Refer to
“Tires
and
wheels”
section 10.

What to do in an emergency
TOWING

dolly

• 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.

OPA067016

OPA067015

Towing service
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.

OPA067017

CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle backwards
with the front wheels on the
ground as this may cause damage to the vehicle.
• Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

8 13

What to do in an emergency

When towing your vehicle in an emergency without wheel dollies :
1. Set the ignition switch in the ACC
position.
2. Place the transaxle shift lever in neutral.
3. Release the parking brake.

3. Install the towing hook by turning it

What to do in an emergency

OHA061010

Emergency towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial tow
truck service.

If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook.
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle. A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard-surfaced roads for a short distance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
• Do not use the tow hooks to pull a
vehicle out of mud, sand or other conditions from which the vehicle cannot
be driven out under its own power.
• Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the
vehicle doing the towing.
• The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other frequently.

CAUTION
• Attach a towing strap to the tow
hook.
• Using a portion of the vehicle
other than the tow hooks for towing may damage the body of your
vehicle.
• Use only a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing
vehicles. Securely fasten the
cable or chain to the towing hook
provided.
• Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and
even force.
• To avoid damaging the hook, do not
pull from the side or at a vertical angle.
Always pull straight ahead.

8 15

What to do in an emergency

WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle.
• Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which would
place excessive stress on the
emergency towing hook and towing cable or chain. The hook and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or damage.
• If the disabled vehicle does not
move, do not forcibly continue to
tow the vehicle. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow truck service for
assistance.
• Tow the vehicle as straight ahead
as possible.
• Keep away from the vehicle during towing.

8 16

OPA067014

• Use a towing strap less than 5 m (16
feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth
(about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the
middle of the strap for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so that the towing strap
is not loosened during towing.

Emergency towing precautions
• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the
steering wheel is not locked.
• Place the transaxle shift lever in neutral.
• Release the parking bake.
• Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
• More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
• If you are driving down a long hill, the
brakes may overheat and brake performance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.

Maintenance
EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Engine oil and filter

Fuel filter

Vapor hose and fuel filler cap

The engine oil and filter (including drain
plug gasket) should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule. If the car is being driven in
severe conditions, more frequent oil and
filter changes are required.

A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven,
damage the emission system and cause
multiple issues such as hard starting. If
an excessive amount of foreign matter
accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter
may
require
replacement
more
frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the engine
for several minutes, and check for leaks
at the connections. We recommend that
the fuel filters be installed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should
be inspected at those intervals specified
in the maintenance schedule. Make sure
that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is
correctly replaced.

Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked
periodically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.

Timing belt (if equipped)
Inspect all parts related to the timing belt
for damage and deformation. Replace
any damaged parts immediately.

Fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
We recommend that the fuel lines, fuel
hoses and connections be replaced by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence
of heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard
and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts,
abrasions, and excessive swelling
indicate deterioration. Particular attention
should be paid to examine those hose
surfaces nearest to high heat sources,
such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with
any heat source, sharp edges or moving
component which might cause heat
damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all
hose connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are secure,
and that no leaks are present. Hoses
should be replaced immediately if there
is any evidence of deterioration or
damage.

damaged parts immediately.

Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.

Coolant

Brake/clutch fluid

Valve clearance (if equipped)

The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.

Manual transaxle fluid

Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir. The level should be between
“MIN” and “MAX” marks on the side of
the reservoir. Use only hydraulic brake
fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4
specification.

Inspect the manual transaxle fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.

specified torque.

Brake discs, pads, calipers and
rotors

Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint

Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and calipers
for fluid leakage.

With the vehicle stopped and engine off,
check for excessive free-play in the
steering wheel.
Check the linkage for bends or damage.
Check the dust boots and ball joints for
deterioration, cracks, or damage.
Replace any damaged parts.

Exhaust pipe and muffler
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
muffler and hangers for cracks,
deterioration, or damage. Start the

plug gasket) changed according to the
Maintenance Schedule at the beginning
of this section. We recommend that the
engine oil and filter be replaced by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

WARNING
Used engine oil may cause skin
irritation or cancer if left in contact
with the skin for prolonged periods
of time. Used engine oil contains
chemicals that have caused cancer
in laboratory animals. Always
protect your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible
after handling used oil.

The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the
factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate.

Checking the coolant level

WARNING
Removing radiator
cap

• Never attempt to remove the
radiator cap while the engine is
operating or hot. Doing so might
lead to cooling system and
engine damage and could result
in serious personal injury from
escaping hot coolant or steam.
• Turn the engine off and wait until
it cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly
to the first stop. Step back while
the pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you are
sure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the cap,
using a thick towel, and continue
turning counterclockwise to
remove it.

Maintenance

(Continued)
• Even if the engine is not
operating, do not remove the
radiator cap or the drain plug
while the engine and radiator are
hot. Hot coolant and steam may
still blow out under pressure,
causing serious injury.

WARNING
The
electric
motor
(cooling
fan)
is
controlled by engine
coolant
temperature,
refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed. It may sometimes
operate even when the engine is
not running. Use extreme caution
when working near the blades of
the cooling fan so that you are not
injured by a rotating fan blades. As
the engine coolant temperature
decreases, the electric motor will
automatically shut off. This is a
normal condition.

oha071004

Check the condition and connections of
all cooling system hoses and heater
hoses. Replace any swollen or
deteriorated hoses.
The coolant level should be filled
between F and L marks on the side of the
coolant reservoir when the engine is
cool.
If the coolant level is low, add enough
distilled (deionized) water to provide
protection
against
freezing
and
corrosion. Bring the level to F, but do not
overfill. If frequent additions are required,
have the cooling system inspected. We
recommend that you have it checked by
an authorized hyundai dealer.

Recommended engine coolant
• Use only soft (de-mineralized) water in
the coolant mixture.
• The engine in your vehicle has
aluminum engine parts and must be
protected by an ethylene-glycol-based
coolant to prevent corrosion and
freezing.
• Do NoT USE alcohol or methanol
coolant or mix them with the specified
coolant.
• Do not use a solution that contains
more than 60% antifreeze or less than

Maintenance
TYRES AND WHEELS
Tyre care
For proper maintenance, safety, and
maximum fuel economy, you must
always maintain recommended tyre
inflation pressures and stay within the
load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle.
Recommended cold tyre inflation
pressures
All tyre pressures (including the spare)
should be checked when the tyres are
cold. “Cold Tyres” means the vehicle has
not been driven for at least three hours or
driven less than 1.6 km (one mile).
Recommended pressures must be
maintained for the best ride, top vehicle
handling, and minimum tyre wear.
For recommended inflation pressure,
refer to “Tyre and wheels” in
section 10.

9 28

CAUTION

OHA071012

All specifications (sizes and pressures)
can be found on a label attached to the
vehicle.

WARNING -Tyre
underinflation
Severe underinflation can lead to
severe heat build-up, causing
blowouts, tread separation and
other tyre failures that can result in
the loss of vehicle control leading
to severe injury or death. This risk
is much higher on hot days and
when driving for long periods at
high speeds.

• Underinflation also results in
excessive wear, poor handling
and reduced fuel economy.
Wheel deformation also is
possible.
Keep
your
tyre
pressures at the proper levels. If a
tyre frequently needs refilling,
have it checked. We recommend
that you have it checked by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
• Overinflation produces a harsh
ride, excessive wear at the center
of the tyre tread, and greater
possibility of damage from road
hazards.

Maintenance

CAUTION
• Warm tyres normally exceed
recommended
cold
tyre
pressures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6
psi). Do not release air from warm
tyres to adjust the pressure or the
tyres will be underinflated.
• Be sure to reinstall the tyre
inflation valve caps. Without the
valve cap, dirt or moisture could
get into the valve core and cause
air leakage. If a valve cap is
missing, install a new one as
soon as possible.

WARNING - Tyre Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation can
reduce tyre life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to
sudden tyre failure. This could
result in loss of vehicle control and
potential injury.

CAUTION - Tyre pressure
Always observe the following:
• Check tyre pressure when the
tyres are cold. (After vehicle has
been parked for at least three
hours or hasn't been driven more
than 1.6 km (1 mile) since
startup.)
• Check the pressure of your spare
tyre each time you check the
pressure of other tyres.
• Never overload your vehicle. Be
careful not to overload a vehicle
luggage rack if your vehicle is
equipped with one.
• Worn, old tyres can cause
accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tyres have been
damaged, replace them.

Checking tyre inflation pressure
Check your tyres once a month or more.
Also, check the tyre pressure of the
spare tyre.
How to check
Use a good quality gage to check tyre
pressure. You cannot tell if your tyres are
properly inflated simply by looking at
them. Radial tyres may look properly
inflated even when they're underinflated.
Check the tyre's inflation pressure when
the tyres are cold. - "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than 1.6 km (1
mile).

9 29

Maintenance

Remove the valve cap from the tyre
valve stem. Press the tyre gage firmly
onto the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold tyre inflation
pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the tyre and loading
information label, no further adjustment
is necessary. If the pressure is low, add
air until you reach the recommended
amount.
If you overfill the tyre, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the center
of the tyre valve. Recheck the tyre
pressure with the tyre gage. Be sure to
put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by
keeping out dirt and moisture.

9 30

WARNING
• Inspect your tyres frequently for
proper inflation as well as wear
and damage. Always use a tyre
pressure gauge.
• Tyres with too much or too little
pressure wear unevenly causing
poor handling, loss of vehicle
control, and sudden tyre failure
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. The recommended
cold tyre pressure for your vehicle
can be found in this manual and
on the tyre label located on the
driver's side center pillar.
• Worn tyres can cause accidents.
Replace tyres that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged.
• Remember to check the pressure
of your spare tyre. HYUNDAI
recommends that you check the
spare every time you check the
pressure of the other tyres on
your vehicle.

Tyre rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is
recommended that the tyres be rotated
every 10,000 km or sooner if irregular
wear develops.
During rotation, check the tyres for
correct balance.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tyre
pressure, improper wheel alignment, outof-balance wheels, severe braking or
severe cornering. Look for bumps or
bulges in the tread or side of tyre.
Replace the tyre if you find either of
these conditions. Replace the tyre if
fabric or cord is visible. After rotation, be
sure to bring the front and rear tyre
pressures to specification and check lug
nut tightness.
Refer to “Tyre and wheels” in
section 10.

Maintenance

Disc brake pads should be inspected for
wear whenever tyres are rotated.

With a full-size spare tyre

✽ NOTICE
Rotate radial tyres that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only from front
to rear and not from right to left.

CBGQ0706
Without a spare tyre

WARNING
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tyres under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that could result in
death, severe injury, or property
damage.

Wheel alignment and tyre balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned
and balanced carefully at the factory to
give you the longest tyre life and best
overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to have
your wheels aligned again. However, if
you notice unusual tyre wear or your
vehicle pulling one way or the other, the
alignment may need to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.

CAUTION
Improper wheel weights can
damage your vehicle's aluminum
wheels. Use only approved wheel
weights.

the tyre. Replace the tyre when this
happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear across
the entire tread before replacing the tyre.

9 32

To reduce the chance or serious or
fatal injuries from an accident
caused by tyre failure or loss of
vehicle control:
• Replace
tyres
that
are
worn, show uneven wear,
or
are
damaged.
Worn
tyres
can
cause
loss
of braking effectiveness, steering
control, and traction.
• Do not drive your vehicle with too
little or too much pressure in
your tyres. This can lead to
uneven wear and tyre failure.
• When replacing tyres, never mix
radial and bias-ply tyres on the
same car. You must replace all
tyres (including the spare) if
moving from radial to bias-ply
tyres.
(Continued)

(Continued)
• Using tyres and wheel other than
the recommended sizes could
cause
unusual
handling
characteristics and poor vehicle
control, resulting in a serious
accident.
• Wheels that do not meet
HYUNDAI’s specifications may fit
poorly and result in damage to
the vehicle or unusual handling
and poor vehicle control.

Maintenance

Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for any
reason, make sure the new wheels are
equivalent to the original factory units in
diameter, rim width and offset.

WARNING
A wheel that is not the
correct size may adversely affect
wheel and bearing life, braking and
stopping
abilities,
handling
characteristics, ground clearance,
body-to-tyre clearance, snow chain
clearance,
speedometer
and
odometer calibration, headlight aim
and bumper height.

Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive
on worn tyres, tyres that are improperly
inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
Tyres should be replaced when tread
wear indicators appear. To reduce the
possibility of losing control, slow down
whenever there is rain, snow or ice on
the road.
Tyre maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps decrease tyre
wear. If you find a tyre is worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheel
alignment.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tyre
life. Additionally, a tyre should always be
rebalanced if it is removed from the
wheel.

3. Checking tyre life (TIN : Tyre
Identification Number)
Any tyres that are over 6 years old,
based on the manufacturing date,
(including the spare tyre) should be
replaced by new ones. You can find the
manufacturing date on the tyre sidewall
(possibly on the inside of the wheel),
displaying the DOT Code. The DOT
Code is a series of numbers on a tyre
consisting of numbers and English
letters. The manufacturing date is
designated by the last four digits
(characters) of the DOT code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT means a plant
code number, tyre size and tread pattern
and the last four numbers indicate week
and year manufactured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1611 represents that
the tyre was produced in the 16th week
of 2011.

WARNING - Tyre age
Tyres degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining tread,
it is recommended that tyres
generally be replaced after six (6)
years of normal service. Heat
caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process.
Failure to follow this warning can
result in sudden tyre failure, which
could lead to a loss of control and
an accident involving serious
injury or death.

4. Tyre ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of rubbercoated fabric in the tyre. Tyre
manufacturers also must indicate the
materials in the tyre, which include steel,
nylon, polyester, and others. The letter
"R" means radial ply construction; the
letter "D" means diagonal or bias ply
construction; and the letter "B" means
belted-bias ply construction.
5. Maximum permissible inflation
pressure
This number is the greatest amount of air
pressure that should be put in the tyre.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
inflation pressure. Refer to the Tyre and
Loading
Information
label
for
recommended inflation pressure.

9 35

Maintenance

6. Maximum load rating
This number indicates the maximum load
in kilograms and pounds that can be
carried by the tyre. When replacing the
tyres on the vehicle, always use a tyre
that has the same load rating as the
factory installed tyre.
7. Uniform tyre quality grading
Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tyre sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum section
width.
For example:
TREADWEAR 200
TRACTION AA
TEMPERATURE A

9 36

Tread wear
The tread wear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tyre
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
For example, a tyre graded 150 would
wear one-and-a-half times (1½) as well
on the government course as a tyre
graded 100.
The relative performance of tyres
depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
These grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger vehicle tyres. The
tyres available as standard or optional
equipment on your vehicle may vary with
respect to grade.

Traction - AA, A, B & C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those
grades represent the tyre’s ability to stop
on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tyre marked C may have
poor traction performance.

WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this
tyre is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not
include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.

Maintenance

Temperature -A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tyre’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause

This vehicle has 2 fuse panels, one
located in the driver’s side panel bolster,
the other(s) in the engine compartment.
If any of your vehicle’s lights,
accessories, or controls do not work,
check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a
fuse has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not work,
first check the driver’s side fuse panel.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and have the
system inspected. We recommend that
you have the system inspected by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are used: blade type
for lower amperage rating, cartridge
type, and fusible link for higher
amperage ratings.

WARNING - Fuse
replacement
• Never replace a fuse with
anything but another fuse of the
same rating.
• A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly a
fire.
• Never install a wire instead of the
proper fuse - even as a temporary
repair. It may cause extensive
wiring damage and a possible fire.

CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.

Maintenance

If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
are OK, check the fuse panel in the

LIGHT BULBS
WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure
that the ignition switch is turned to
the LOCK position and turn off the
lights to avoid sudden movement
of the vehicle and burning your
fingers or getting an electric shock.
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.

CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electric
wiring system.

CAUTION
If you don't have necessary tools,
the correct bulbs and the expertise,
we recommend that you consult an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.. In
many cases, it is difficult to replace
vehicle light bulbs because other
parts of the vehicle must be
removed before you can get to the
bulb. This is especially true if you
have to remove the headlight
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlight
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.

✽ NOTICE
After driving in heavy rain or washing
the vehicle, headlight and taillight lenses
could appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature difference
between the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicle during
the rain and doesn’t indicate a problem
with your vehicle. If the water leaks into
the lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle
checked. We recommend that you have
it checked by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.

Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly
and frequently at least once a month with
lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each offroad trip. Pay special attention to the
removal of any accumulation of salt, dirt,
mud, and other foreign materials. Make
sure the drain holes in the lower edges of
the doors and rocker panels are kept
clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle
thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.

CAUTION
• Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents or hot water, and do
not wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or when the body of the
vehicle is warm.
• Be careful when washing the side
windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressure
water, water may leak through the
windows and wet the interior.
• To prevent damage to the plastic
parts, do not clean with chemical
solvents or strong detergents.

WARNING - Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly while maintaining a slow
forward speed.

Maintenance

OJB037800

CAUTION
• Water washing in the engine
compartment including high
pressure water washing may
cause the failure of electrical
circuits located in the engine
compartment.
• Never allow water or other liquids
to come in contact with
electrical/electronic components
inside the vehicle as this may
damage them.

Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect
it and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials
with a spot remover will usually strip the
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle
does not yet need waxing.

Finish damage repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust
and may develop into a major repair
expense.

✽ NOTICE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
any metal repair or replacement, be sure
the body shop applies anti-corrosion
materials to the parts repaired or
replaced.

CAUTION
• Wiping dust or dirt off the body
with a dry cloth will scratch the
finish.
• Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or
caustic agents on chrome-plated
or anodized aluminum parts. This
may result in damage to the
protective coating and cause
discoloration
or
paint
deterioration.

9 59

Maintenance

Bright-metal maintenance
• To remove road tar and insects, use a
tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
• To protect the surfaces of bright-metal
parts from corrosion, apply a coating of
wax or chrome preservative and rub to
a high luster.
• During winter weather or in coastal
areas, cover the bright metal parts with
a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.

9 60

Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, accelerated
rusting can occur on underbody parts
such as the fuel lines, frame, floor pan
and exhaust system, even though they
have been treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody
and wheel openings with lukewarm or
cold water once a month, after off-road
driving and at the end of each winter.
Pay special attention to these areas
because it is difficult to see all the mud
and dirt. It will do more harm than good
to wet down the road grime without
removing it. The lower edges of doors,
rocker panels, and frame members have
drain holes that should not be clogged
with dirt; trapped water in these areas
can cause rusting.

WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly while maintaining a slow
forward speed.

Maintenance

Aluminum wheel maintenance
The aluminum wheels are coated with a
clear protective finish.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaner,
polishing compound, solvent, or wire
brushes on aluminum wheels. They
may scratch or damage the finish.
• Use only a mild soap or neutral
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
water. Also, be sure to clean the
wheels after driving on salted roads.
This helps prevent corrosion.
• Avoid washing the wheels with highspeed car wash brushes.
• Do not use any acid detergent. It may
damage and corrode the aluminum
wheels coated with a clear protective
finish.

Corrosion protection
Protecting your vehicle from corrosion
By using the most advanced design and
construction practices to combat
corrosion, we produce cars of the highest
quality. However, this is only part of the
job. To achieve the long-term corrosion
resistance your vehicle can deliver, the
owner's cooperation and assistance is
also required.
Common causes of corrosion
The most common causes of corrosion
on your car are:
• Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath the
car.
• Removal of paint or protective coatings
by stones, gravel, abrasion or minor
scrapes and dents which leave
unprotected metal exposed to
corrosion.
High-corrosion areas
If you live in an area where your car is
regularly exposed to corrosive materials,
corrosion protection is particularly
important. Some of the common causes
of accelerated corrosion are road salts,
dust control chemicals, ocean air and
industrial pollution.

Moisture breeds corrosion
Moisture creates the conditions in which
corrosion is most likely to occur. For
example, corrosion is accelerated by
high humidity, particularly when
temperatures are just above freezing. In
such conditions, the corrosive material is
kept in contact with the car surfaces by
moisture that is slow to evaporate.
Mud is particularly corrosive because it
dries slowly and holds moisture in
contact with the vehicle. Although the
mud appears to be dry, it can still retain
the moisture and promote corrosion.
High temperatures can also accelerate
corrosion of parts that are not properly
ventilated so the moisture can be
dispersed. For all these reasons, it is
particularly important to keep your car
clean and free of mud or accumulations
of other materials. This applies not only
to the visible surfaces but particularly to
the underside of the car.
To help prevent corrosion
You can help prevent corrosion from
getting started by observing the
following:

9 61

Maintenance

Keep your car clean
The best way to prevent corrosion is to
keep your car clean and free of corrosive
materials. Attention to the underside of
the car is particularly important.
• If you live in a high-corrosion area —
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas with industrial pollution,
acid rain, etc.—, you should take extra
care to prevent corrosion. In winter,
hose off the underside of your car at
least once a month and be sure to
clean the underside thoroughly when
winter is over.
• When cleaning underneath the car,
give particular attention to the
components under the fenders and
other areas that are hidden from view.
Do a thorough job; just dampening the
accumulated mud rather than washing
it away will accelerate corrosion rather
than prevent it. Water under high
pressure and steam are particularly
effective in removing accumulated
mud and corrosive materials.
• When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members, be
sure that drain holes are kept open so
that moisture can escape and not be
trapped inside to accelerate corrosion.

9 62

Keep your garage dry
Do not park your car in a damp, poorly
ventilated garage. This creates a
favorable environment for corrosion. This
is particularly true if you wash your car in
the garage or drive it into the garage
when it is still wet or covered with snow,
ice or mud. Even a heated garage can
contribute to corrosion unless it is well
ventilated so moisture is dispersed.
Keep paint and trim in good condition
Scratches or chips in the finish should be
covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as
possible to reduce the possibility of
corrosion. If bare metal is showing
through, the attention of a qualified body
and paint shop is recommended.
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are
highly corrosive and may damage
painted surfaces in just a few hours.
Always remove bird droppings as soon
as possible.

Do not neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor mats
and carpeting to cause corrosion. Check
under the mats periodically to be sure the
carpeting is dry. Use particular care if
you carry fertilizers, cleaning materials or
chemicals in the car.
These should be carried only in proper
containers and any spills or leaks should
be cleaned up, flushed with clean water
and thoroughly dried.

Interior care
Interior general precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as
perfume and cosmetic oil from contacting
the dashboard because they may cause
damage or discoloration. If they do
contact the dashboard, wipe them off
immediately. See the instructions that
follow for the proper way to clean vinyl.

CAUTION
Never allow water or other liquids

Maintenance
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty
information contained in the Service
Passport in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emission control system to meet all
applicable emission regulations.
There are three emission control
systems, as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control system
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function of
the emission control systems, it is
recommended that you have your car
inspected and maintained by an
authorized
HYUNDAI
dealer
in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in this manual.

9 64

1. Crankcase emission control
system
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air
pollution caused by blow-by gases being
emitted from the crankcase. This system
supplies fresh filtered air to the
crankcase through the air intake hose.
Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes
with blow-by gases, which then pass
through the PCV valve into the induction
system.

2. Evaporative emission control
system
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel
vapors from escaping into the
atmosphere.

Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the surge tank
through the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control Module
(ECM); when the engine coolant
temperature is low during idling, the
PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel is
not taken into the engine. After the
engine warms-up during ordinary driving,
the PCSV opens to introduce evaporated
fuel to the engine.

Maintenance

3. Exhaust emission control
system
The Exhaust Emission Control System is
a highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions while maintaining
good vehicle performance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could affect
its performance, safety or durability and
may even violate governmental safety
and emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modification
may not be covered under warranty.

Engine exhaust gas precautions
(carbon monoxide)
• Carbon monoxide can be present with
other exhaust fumes. Therefore, if you
smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside
your vehicle, have it inspected and
repaired immediately. If you ever
suspect exhaust fumes are coming
into your vehicle, drive it only with all
the windows fully open. Have your
vehicle checked and repaired
immediately.

WARNING - Exhaust
Engine exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide (CO). Though
colorless and odorless, it is
dangerous and could be lethal if
inhaled. Follow the instructions on
this page to avoid CO poisoning.

• Do not operate the engine in confined
or closed areas (such as garages) any
more than what is necessary to move
the vehicle in or out of the area.
• When the vehicle is stopped in an
open area for more than a short time
with the engine running, adjust the
ventilation system (as needed) to draw
outside air into the vehicle.
• Never sit in a parked or stopped
vehicle for any extended time with the
engine running.
• When the engine stalls or fails to start,
excessive attempts to restart the
engine may cause damage to the
emission control system.

Maintenance

Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)

WARNING - Fire
A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your
vehicle. Do not park, idle, or drive
the vehicle over or near flammable
objects, such as grass, vegetation,
paper, leaves, etc.
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
• Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to "Fuel requirements"
suggested in section 3.
• Do not operate the vehicle when there
are signs of engine malfunction, such
as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.
• Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting with
the ignition off and descending steep
grades in gear with the ignition off.
• Do not operate the engine at high idle
speed for extended periods (5 minutes
or more).

9 66

• Do not modify or tamper with any part
of the engine or emission control
system. engine or emission control
system. We recommend that the
system be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
• Avoid driving with very low fuel level. If
you run out of gasoline, it could cause
the engine to misfire and result in
excessive loading of the catalytic
converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void your
warranties.

CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug, or
dipstick before checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially
important in dusty or sandy areas
and when the vehicle is used on
unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug
and dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the engine
and other mechanisms that could
be damaged.

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an
effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil
flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils
can provide better fuel economy and cold
weather performance, however, higher
viscosity engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
