Driving your vehicle
AVSM detects the distance from the
vehicle ahead with the sensor, to
warn you before collision and protect
you in certain hazardous situations
by using warning message, warning
sound and seat belt vibration (if
equipped).
• If the AVSM senses the object
ahead too near the vehicle and if
driver's operating of the brake
pedal or the steering wheel should
be needed, the warning light illumi-
nates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
• If the AVSM senses more danger-
ous, the warning sound also oper-
ates and the seat belt vibrates.
Immediately reduce your speed.
ADVANCED VEHICLE SAFETY MANAGEMENT (AVSM) (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Always check the road condi-
tions to prevent danger even if
the warning light does not illu-
minate, the warning sound does
not operate or the seat belt does
not vibrate.

Brake operating
• If the AVSM senses the collision,
the brake system comes to stan-
dard mode to react promptly when
the driver operates the brake
pedal.
• If the driver releases the accelera-
tor after warning in hazardous situ-
ations, the AVSM automatically
brakes the vehicle gently.
• If the driver hits the brake to reduce
vehicle speed, the brake assistant
system operates to raise efficiency
of braking.
• If danger disappears, if the driver
depresses the accelerator or if the
driver releases the brake pedal,
the brake operating stop.
Seat belt operating
The seat belt tightens when the vehi-
cle senses a collision.
WARNING
The AVSM does not stop the
vehicle completely and does
not avoid collision. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
WARNING
The AVSM operates according
to the distance from the vehicle
ahead, relative velocity and dri-
ver's operation of the brake or
accelerator pedal. Do not drive
dangerously to operate the
AVSM.
CAUTION
• When the AVSM is controlled
or turned off, make sure that
the vehicle is stopped.
• When the engine is running by
turning on, the AVSM is auto-
matically turned on. If is not
required, select the AVSM OFF
in USM.
• If the AVSM ON is selected in
USM (User Settings Mode), if
the ESC is cancelled by press-
ing the ESC OFF button, the
AVSM function is automatical-
ly cancelled. And then it is
impossible to control the
AVSM by manually.

Fuel, engine coolant and engine
oil
High speed travel consumes more
fuel than urban motoring. Do not for-
get to check both engine coolant and
engine oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
result in overheating of the engine.
WARNING
• Underinflated or overinflated
tires can cause poor handling,
loss of vehicle control, and
sudden tire failure leading to
accidents, injuries, and even
death. Always check tires for
proper inflation before driv-
ing. For proper tire pressures,
refer to “Tires and wheels” in
section 8.
• Driving on tires with no or
insufficient tread is danger-
ous. Worn-out tires can result
in loss of vehicle control, col-
lisions, injury, and even death.
Worn-out tires should be
replaced as soon as possible
and should never be used for
driving. Always check the tire
tread before driving your car.
For further information and
tread limits, refer to “Tires and
wheels” in section 7.

What to do in an emergency
8 6
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 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 vehicle or steam is com-
ing 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 satis-
factory, check for coolant leaking
from the radiator, hoses or under
the vehicle. (If the air conditioning
had been in use, it is normal for
cold water to be draining from it
when you stop).
5.If the water pump drive belt is bro-
ken or engine coolant is leaking
out, we recommend that you stop
the engine immediately and call
the nearest authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for assistance.6.If you cannot find the cause of the
overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,
carefully add coolant to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level in the
reservoir up to the halfway mark.
7.Proceed with caution, keeping
alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
we recommend that you call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
WARNING
While the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts such
as the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
CAUTION
• Serious loss of coolant indi-
cates there is a leak in the
cooling system and we recom-
mend that the system be
checked as soon as possible
by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• When the engine overheats
from low engine coolant, sud-
denly adding engine coolant
may cause cracks in the
engine. To prevent damage,
add engine coolant slowly in
small quantities.
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.
