The tachometer pointer may move slight-
ly when the ignition switch is in ACC or
ON position with the engine OFF. This
movement is normal and will not affect
the accuracy of the tachometer once the
engine is running.
Engine temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the
engine coolant when the ignition switchis ON.
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “If the engine overheats” in section 6.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the “ ” position, it indicates over-
heating that may damage theengine.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine withinthe tachometer's RED ZONE. This may cause severe engine damage.
OEL049311
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The enginecoolant is under pressure and
could cause severe burns. Wait
until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.

Engine coolant tempera-
ture warning light(if equipped)
The warning light illuminates if the tem-
perature of the engine coolant is above120±3°C (248±5.4°F).
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “Overheating” in section 6.
✽✽ NOTICE
If the engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light illuminates, it indicates over-
heating that may damage the engine.
Electronic power steering (EPS) system warning light (if equipped)
This indicator light comes on after the
ignition key is turned to the ON positionand then it will go out. This light also comes on when the EPS
has some troubles. If it comes on while
driving, have your vehicle inspected by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
EPSCAUTION
Do not use 4WD LOCK mode on drypaved roads or highway, it can
cause noise, vibration or damage of4WD related parts.

Driving your vehicle
Active ECO operation
Active ECO helps improve fuel efficiency
by controlling the engine, transaxle and
air conditioner. But fuel-efficiency can be
changed by the driver's driving habits
and road conditions.
 When the Active ECO button ispressed the ECO indicator (green) will
illuminate to show that the Active ECO
is operating.
 When the Active ECO is activated, it does not turn off even though the
engine is restarted again. To turn off
the system, press the active ECO but-ton again.
 If Active ECO is turned off, it will return to the ECO mode. When Active ECO is activated:
 Vehicle noise may become loud.
 Vehicle speed may drop.
 The air conditioner performance may
decline. Limitation of Active ECO opera- tion :
If the following conditions occur whilst
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though there is
no change in the ECO indicator.
 When the coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until engine
performance becomes normal.
 When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because the
engine torque is restricted.
 When using sports mode: The system will be limited according tothe shift location.
ACTIVE ECO SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
OEL049221R
CAUTION
Vehicle speed is limited to 87mph
(140km/h) when Active ECO is oper- ating. It will not go over the limited
speed.

Driving on grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear
before you start down a long or steep
downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you
might have to use your brakes so much
that they would get hot and no longer
operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine
and transaxle overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the max-
imum trailer weight without trailer brakes
and you have an automatic transaxle,
you should drive in D (Drive) when tow-
ing a trailer.
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive) when
towing a trailer will minimise heat build up
and extend the life of your transaxle.CAUTION
 When towing a trailer on steep
grades (in excess of 6%) pay
close attention to the engine coolant temperature gauge toensure the engine does not over-heat.
If the needle of the coolant tem-perature gauge moves across thedial towards “H” (HOT), pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to
do so, and allow the engine to idle until it cools down. You may pro-ceed once the engine has cooled sufficiently.
 You must decide driving speed depending on trailer weight anduphill grade to reduce the possi-bility of engine and transaxle
overheating.WARNING
Failure to use an approved trailer wiring harness could result in dam-
age to the vehicle electrical system
and/or personal injury.

What to do in an emergency
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If 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 hap-
pens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (automatic transaxle) or neutral (manual
transaxle) and set the parking brake. If
the air conditioning is on, turn it off.
3. If engine coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out
from the bonnet, stop the engine. Donot open the bonnet 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 operat-
ing. 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 vehicle. (If the air
conditioning had been in use, it is nor-
mal for cold water to be draining from
it when you stop). 5. If the water pump drive belt is broken
or engine coolant is leaking out, stop the engine immediately and call the
nearest HYUNDAI authorised repairer
for assistance. 6. If the cause of the overheating cannot
be found, wait until the engine temper-
ature has returned to normal. Then, ifcoolant has been lost, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir to bring the
fluid level in the reservoir up to the
base of the radiator fill opening. Fill the
coolant expansion tank to the halfway
mark. To ensure the correct water to
coolant mix is obtained after top up,
testing by a HYUNDAI authorisedrepairer is required.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheating. If over-heating happens again, call a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
assistance.
CAUTION
Serious loss of coolant indicates
there is a leak in the cooling systemand this should be checked as soonas possible by a HYUNDAI autho- rised repairer.
WARNING
Whilst the engine is running, keep
hair, hands and clothing away from
moving parts such as the fan and
drive belts to prevent injury.
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.

Maintenance
For mixture percentage, refer to the fol-
lowing table.Changing the coolant
Have coolant changed by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
WARNING -
Radiator cap
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are
hot. Scalding hot coolant and
steam may blow out under pres-
sure causing serious injury.
CAUTION
Put a thick cloth or fabric around the radiator cap before refilling the
coolant in order to prevent the coolant from overflowing into engine parts such as generator.
WARNING - Coolant
 Do not use radiator coolant or antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
 Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windscreen and may
cause loss of vehicle control or
damage to paint and body trim.
