all connectors at ignition, coil and spark
plugs. Reconnect any that may be dis-
connected or loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine com-
partment.
4. If the engine still does not start, call a
Hyundai dealer or seek other qualified
assistance.
D010D01A-AATIf Engine Stalls While Driving1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your
vehicle will not start, contact a Hyundai
dealer or seek other qualified assis-
tance.
WARNING:
If the engine will not start, do not push or
pull the car to start it. This could result in
a collision or cause other damage. In
addition, push or pull starting may cause
the catalytic converter to be overloaded
and create a fire hazard.
1. Be sure the gear selector lever is in "N"
or "P" and the emergency brake is set.

2. Check the battery connections to be
sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims
or goes out when you operate the starter,
the battery is discharged.
4. Check the starter connections to be
sure they are securely tightened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it.
See instructions for "Jump Starting".

JUMP STARTING!
o If you should accidentally get acid on
your skin or in your eyes, immediately
remove any contaminated clothing and
flush the area with clean water for at
least 15 minutes. Then promptly obtain
medical attention. If you must be trans-
ported to an emergency facility, con-
tinue to apply water to the affected area
with a sponge or cloth.
o The gas produced by the battery during
the jump-start operation is highly explo-
sive. Do not smoke or allow a spark or
an open flame in the vicinity.
o The battery being used to provide the
jump start must be 12-volt. If you cannot
determine that it is a 12-volt battery, do
not attempt to use it for the jump start.
o To jump start a car with a discharged
battery, follow this procedure exactly:
1. If the booster battery is installed in an-
other vehicle, be sure the two vehicles
are not touching.
2. Turn off all unnecessary lights and
acces-sories in both vehicles.
3. Attach the clamps of the jumper cable in
the exact location shown on the illustra-
tion. First, attach one clamp of the jumper
cable to the positive (+) post or cable of
the discharged battery.Then attach the other end of the same
cable to the positive (+) post or cable of
the booster battery. Next, using the other
cable, attach one clamp to the negative
(-) post or cable of the booster battery.
Then attach the other end of that cable
to a solid metal part of the engine of the
vehicle with the discharged battery
away from the battery. Do not connect
the cable to any moving part.
4. Start the engine in the car with the
booster battery and let it run for a few
minutes. This will help to assure that the
booster battery is fully charged. During
the jumping operation, run the engine
in this vehicle at about 2,000 rpm.
5. Start the engine in the car with the
discharged battery using the normal
starting procedure. After the engine
starts, leave the jumper cables con-
nected and let the engine run at fast idle
or about 2,000 rpm for several minutes.
6. Carefully remove the jumper cables in
the reverse order of attachment.
If you do not know why your battery be-
came discharged (because the lights were
left on, etc.), have the charging system
checked by your Hyundai dealer.
D020A03A-AAT
WARNING:
The gas produced by the battery during
the jump-start operation is highly explo-
sive. If these instructions are not fol-
lowed exactly, serious personal injury
and damage to the vehicle may occur! If
you are not sure how to follow this proce-
dure, seek qualified assistance. Auto-
mobile 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.

34WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
!!
!
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 the near-
est Hyundai dealer for assistance.
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 se-
rious burns.6. If you cannot find the cause of the over-
heating, wait until the engine tempera-
ture has returned to normal. Then, if
coolant has been lost, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir (page 6-7) 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 over-
heating happens again, call a Hyundai
dealer for assistance.
CAUTION:
Serious loss of coolant indicates there is
a leak in the cooling system and this
should be checked as soon as possible
by a Hyundai dealer.
D030A01TG-AATIf your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, 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 gear selector lever in "P" and
set the parking brake. If the air condi-
tioning 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 un-
der the car. (If the air conditioning had
been in use, it is normal for cold water
to be draining from it when you stop).

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
C320A01TG C320A01TG-AAT
(If Installed)
➀ Low Tire Pressure Telltale
➁ TPMS Malfunction Indicator
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflation pres-
sure recommended by the vehicle manu-
facturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure 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 de-
termine the proper tire inflation pres-
sure 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. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, 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 han-
dling 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 indicator after
replacing 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
When the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem warning telltale is illuminated, one
or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated.
Immediately reduce your speed, avoid
hard cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. 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 ser-
vice station or if the tire cannot hold the
newly added air, replace the low pres-
sure tire with the temporary spare tire.
Then the TPMS malfunction indicator
may turn on and the Low Tire Pressure
telltale still turn on after restarting and
about 20 minutes of continuous driving
before you have the low-pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.CAUTION:
In winter or cold weather, the low tire
pressure telltale may be illuminated
if the tire pressure was adjusted to
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure in warm weather. It does not
mean your TPMS is malfunctioning
because the decreased temperature
leads to a proportional lowering of
tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a
cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature is greatly higher
or lower, you should check the tire
inflation pressure and adjust the tires
to the recommended tire inflation
pressure.WARNING:
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contrib-
ute to loss of vehicle control and
increased braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure
tires will cause the tires to overheat
and fail.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System) Malfunction
Indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator comes
on and stays on when there is a problem
with the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem. If the system is able to correctly
detect an under-inflation warning at the
same time as system failure then it will
illuminate both the TPMS malfunction
and the low tire pressure telltale e.g. if
Front Left sensor fails, the TPMS mal-
function indicator comes on, but if Front
Right, Rear Left, or Rear Right tire is
under-inflated, the low tire pressure tell-
tale may come on with the TPMS mal-
function indicator.

Have the system checked by an autho-
rized Hyundai dealer as soon as pos-
sible to determine the cause of the
problem.
NOTE:
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle
is moving around electric power
supply cables or radio transmit-
ters such as police stations, gov-
ernment and public offices, broad-
casting stations, military installa-
tions, airports, or transmitting tow-
ers, etc. which can interfere with
normal operation of the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS).
o The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if snow chains
or some electronic devices, such
as notebook computers, are used
in the vehicle. This can interfere
with normal operation of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will turn 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.
NOTE:
NEVER use a puncture-repairing
agent to repair and/or inflate a low
pressure tire. 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
as soon as possible.
After you replace the low pressure tire
with the temporary spare tire, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illuminate
and the low tire pressure telltale still
illuminate after restarting and about 20
minutes of continuous driving.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 telltale will be extinguished. If the
low pressure and TPMS malfunction
indicators are not extinguished after
about 20 minutes of continuous driving,
please visit an authorized Hyundai
dealer.
You may not be able to 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
during that 3 hour period). Allow the tire
to cool before measuring the inflation
pressure.
Always be sure the tire is cold before
inflating to the recommended pressure.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile in that 3 hour period.

CAUTION:
o Do not use any tire sealant if your
vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System. The
liquid sealant can damage the tire
pressure sensors.
o In order for the system to correctly
monitor tires for under-inflation,
there should be a total of exactly 4
sensors fitted to each of the four
driven wheel positions. There
should be no other sensors in the
vehicle including spare tire since
this could cause the system to
monitor the wrong sensors.
WARNING:
Tampering with, modifying, or dis-
abling the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) components may
interfere with the system's ability to
warn the driver of low tire pressure
conditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modifying,
or disabling the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) components
may void the warranty for that por-
tion of the vehicle.
!
WARNING - TPMS
o The TPMS cannot alert you to se-
vere and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors such as
nails or road debris.
o If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off the
accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually and with light force, and
slowly move to a safe position off
the road.This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any inter-
ference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired op-
eration.
WARNING:
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party re-
sponsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

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.
2. The spare tire should only be used
temporarily and should be returned
to the luggage compartment as soon
as the original tire can be repaired or
replaced.
3. Continuous use at speeds of over 50
mph (80 km/h) is not recommended. Spare Tire Pressure
CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your
temporary spare tire.
o Do not use more than one tempo-
rary spare tire at a time.
o Do not tow a trailer while the tem-
porary spare tire is installed.
