BREAKING IN YOUR NEW
HYUNDAI
B010F01A-AATOperation in Foreign CountriesIf you are going to drive your Hyundai in
another country, be sure to:
o Observe all regulations regarding reg-
istration and insurance.
o Determine that acceptable fuel is avail-
able.B010E01A-AATGasolines for Cleaner AirTo help contribute to cleaner air, Hyundai
recommends that you use gasolines
treated with detergent additives, which
help prevent deposit formation in the en-
gine. These gasolines will help the engine
run cleaner and enhance performance of
the Emission Control System.
B020A01S-AATDuring the First 1,200 Miles (2,000
Km)No formal "break-in" procedure is required
with your new Hyundai. However, you can
contribute to the economical operation
and durability of your Hyundai by observ-
ing the following recommendations dur-
ing the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km).
o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/
h).
o While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute) be-
tween 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start
quickly or depress the accelerator pedal
fully.
o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to
avoid hard stops.
o Don't lug the engine (in other words,
don't drive so slowly in too high a gear
that the engine "bucks"-shift to a lower
gear).
o Whether going fast or slow, vary your
speed from time to time.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3
minutes at one time.
o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200
miles (2,000 km) of operation.
KEYSB030A01A-AATFor greater convenience, the same key
operates all the locks in your Hyundai.
However, because the doors can be locked
without a key, carrying a spare key is
recommended in case you accidentally
lock one key inside the car.

WARNING:
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contribute
to loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires
may cause the tires to overheat and fail. Avoid hard braking and overcorrecting at
the steering wheel. Inflate the tires to the
proper pressure as indicated on the
vehicle’s tire information placard.
If you have a flat tire, the Low tire Pressure
and Position Telltales will illuminate.
Replace the flat tire with the spare tire(see
page 3-12)
Each wheel is equipped with a tire pres-
sure sensor mounted inside the tire be-
hind the valve stems. You must use TPMS
specific wheels. IT is recommended that
you always have tires serviced by your
Hyundai dealer or qualified technician.
After you replace the flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position Telltales remain
illuminated. This is normal; the system is
not monitoring the spare tire pressure.
Check the spare tire pressure to make sure
it is correct.

The low tire pressure and position telltales
illuminate for 3 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position.
If the warning lights do not illuminate, or
remain illuminate after the 3-second lamp
check when you turned the ignition key to
the "ON" position, the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System is not working properly. If
this occurs, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as
possible.
This warning lights will also illuminate if
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. The low tire pressure posi-
tion telltale light will indicate which tire is
significantly under-inflated by illuminating
the corresponding position light.
You should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible. If the warning lights
illuminate while driving, reduce vehicle
speed immediately and stop the vehicle.

AWD (All Wheel Drive)
System Warning Light
(If installed)
When the key is turned to the "ON" position,
the AWD(All Wheel Drive) system warning
light will illuminate and then go off in a few
seconds.
CAUTION:
If the AWD system warning light ( )
blinks while driving, this indicates that
there is a malfunction in the AWD sys-
tem. If this occurs, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer
as soon as possible.
!
CAUTION:
Never use a puncture-repair agent in a
flat tire. If used, the tire pressure sensor
will be damaged and will require replace-
ment. Have the flat tire repaired by a
Hyundai dealer or qualified technician
as soon as possible.

C190F01CM-AATTrailer or Vehicle Towing Tips1. Before towing, check hitch and safety
chain connections as well as proper
operation of the trailer running lights,
brake lights, and turn signals.
2. Trailer towing requires more fuel than
normal conditions.
3. To maintain engine braking efficiency,
do not tow a trailer with the transaxle in
fifth gear (manual transaxle).
4. Always secure items in the trailer to
prevent load shift while driving.
5. Check the condition and air pressure of
all tires on the trailer and your car. Low
tire pressure can seriously affect the
handling. Also check the spare tire.
6. The vehicle/trailer combination is more
affected by crosswind and buffeting.
When being passed by a large vehicle,
keep a constant speed and steer straight
ahead. If there is too much wind buffet-
ing, slow down to get out of the other
vehicle's air turbulence.7. When parking your car and trailer, es-
pecially on a hill, be sure to follow all the
normal precautions. Turn your front
wheel into the curb, set the parking
brake firmly, and put the transaxle in 1st
or Reverse (manual) or Park (automatic).
In addition, place wheel chocks at each
of the trailer's tires.
8. If the trailer has electric brakes, start
your vehicle and trailer moving, and
then apply the trailer brake controller by
hand to be sure the brakes are working.
This lets you check your electrical con-
nection at the same time.
9. During your trip, check occasionally to
be sure that the load is secure, and that
the lights and any trailer brakes are still
working.
10. Avoid jerky starts, sudden accelera-
tion or sudden stops.
11. Avoid sharp turns and rapid lane
changes.
12. Avoid holding the brake pedal down
too long or too frequently. This could
cause the brakes to overheat, resulting
in reduced braking efficiency.
!
WARNING:
o Improperly loading your vehicle and
trailer can seriously affect its steer-
ing and braking performance causing
a crash which could cause serious
injury or death.
o Towing a trailer affects vehicle han-
dling and braking.
o Drive more slowly when towing a trailer
and allow more distance when brak-
ing.
o Be careful when driving in slippery
and windy conditions.
o Be careful when turning and while
driving up and down hills.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
OCM053202A C320A01CM-AAT
(1) TPMS Malfunction Indicator
(2) Low Tire Pressure Position telltale
(3) Low Tire Pressure telltale
Each tire, including the spare, should
be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure tell-
tale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on
a significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operat-
ing properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is provided by a separate tell-
tale, which displays the symbol "TPMS"
when illuminated. When the malfunc-
tion indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal low
tire pressure as intended. TPMS mal-
functions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels
on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check
the TPMS malfunction telltale after re-
placing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replace-
ment or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.

36WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
Low tire pressure telltale
Low tire pressure position
telltale
When the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem warning indicators are illuminated,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. The low tire pressure
position telltale light will indicate which
tire is significantly under-inflated by
illuminating the corresponding position
light.
If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased stop-
ping distances. You should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible.
Inflate the tires to the proper pressure
as indicated on the vehicle’s placard or
tire inflation pressure label located on
the driver’s side center pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station or
if the tire cannot hold the newly added
air, replace the low pressure tire with
the temporary spare tire.
The Low Tire Pressure and Position
telltales will remain on until you have
the low pressure tire repaired and re-
placed on the vehicle.
NOTE:
The temporary spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure sen-
sor.
NOTE
If the TPMS, Low Tire Pressure and
Position indicators does not illumi-
nate for 3 seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position or
engine is running, if it remains illu-
minated after coming on for approxi-
mately 3 seconds, take your car to
your nearest authorized HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system checked.

38WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will come
on. Have the flat tire repaired by an
authorized Hyundai dealer as soon as
possible or replace the flat tire with the
temporary spare tire. NEVER use a
puncture-repairing agent to repair and/
or inflate a low pressure tire. The tire
sealant can damage the tire pressure
sensor. If used, you will have to replace
the tire pressure sensor.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the tire
behind the valve stem. You must use
TPMS specific wheels. It is recom-
mended that you always have your tires
serviced by an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
Even if you replace the low pressure tire
with the temporary spare tire, the Low
Tire Pressure and Position telltales will
remain on when the low pressure tire is
in the vehicle. NOTE:
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle
is moving around electric power
supply cables or radios transmit-
ter such as at police stations, gov-
ernment and public offices, broad-
casting stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting tow-
ers, etc. This can interfere with
normal operation of the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS).
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if some elec-
tronic devices, such as notebook
computer, are used in the vehicle.
This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).However, if the low pressure tire is not
in the vehicle, the Low Tire Pressure
and Position telltales will go off and the
TPMS malfunction indicator will go on
after a few minutes because the tempo-
rary spare tire does not have a sensor.
Once the low pressure tire is re-inflated
to the recommended pressure and in-
stalled on the vehicle, the TPMS mal-
function indicator and the low tire pres-
sure and position telltales will extin-
guish within a few minutes.
If the indicators are not extinguished
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
You may not be able identify a low tire
by simply looking at it. Always use a
good quality tire pressure gauge to
measure the tire's inflation pressure.
Please note that a tire that is hot (from
being driven) will have a higher pres-
sure measurement than a tire that is
cold (from sitting stationary for at least
3 hours and driven less than 1 mile
(1.6km) during that 3 hour period).

4. As the temporary spare tire is spe-
cifically designed for your vehicle, it
should not be used on any other
vehicle.
5. The temporary spare tire should not
be used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the temporary spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to
these items or other car components
may occur.
6. The temporary spare tire pressure
should be checked once a month
while the tire is stored.
