Introduction
Petrol engine
Unleaded
Your new vehicle is designed to use
only unleaded fuel having an Octane
Rating of RON (Research Octane
Number) 91 / AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
87 or higher. (Do not use methanol
blended fuels.)
Your new vehicle is designed to
obtain maximum performance with
UNLEADED FUEL, as well as min-
imise exhaust emissions and spark
plug fouling.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
NEVER USE LEADED FUEL. The
use of leaded fuel is detrimental
to the catalytic converter and
will damage the engine control
system’s oxygen sensor and
affect emission control.
Never add any fuel system
cleaning agents to the fuel tank
other than what has been speci-
fied. (We recommend that you
consult with an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer for details.)
WARNING
• Do not "top off" after the noz-
zle automatically shuts off
when refuelling.
• Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.

Features of your vehicle
This system helps to protect your
vehicle and valuables. The horn will
sound and the hazard warning lights
will blink continuously if any of the
following occurs:
- A door is opened without using the
remote key or smart key.
- The boot is opened without using
the remote key or smart key.
- The engine bonnet is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds,
then the system resets. To turn off
the alarm, unlock the doors with the
remote key or smart key.
The Theft Alarm System automati-
cally sets 30 seconds after you lock
the doors and the boot. For the sys-
tem to activate, you must lock the
doors and the boot from outside the
vehicle with the remote key or smart
key or by pressing the button on the
outside of the door handles with the
smart key in your possession.
The hazard warning lights will blink
and the chime will sound once to
indicate the system is armed.Once the security system is set, open-
ing any door, the boot, or the bonnet
without using the remote key or smart
key will cause the alarm to activate.
The Theft Alarm System will not set if
the bonnet, the boot, or any door is
not fully closed. If the system will not
set, check the bonnet, the boot, or
the doors are fully closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it.
✽NOTICE
• Do not lock the doors until all pas-
sengers have left the vehicle. If the
remaining passenger leaves the
vehicle when the system is armed,
the alarm will be activated.
• If the vehicle is not disarmed with
the remote key or smart key, open
the doors by using the mechanical
key and place the ignition switch
in the ON position (for remote
key) or start the engine (for smart
key) and wait for 30 seconds.
• When the system is disarmed but a
door or boot is not opened within
30 seconds, the system will be
rearmed.

Manual windows (if equipped)
To raise or lower the window, turn the
window regulator handle clockwise
or anticlockwise.
WARNING - Windows
• NEVER leave the keys in your
vehicle with unsupervised
children, when the engine is
running.
• NEVER leave any child unat-
tended in the vehicle. Even
very young children may inad-
vertently cause the vehicle to
move, entangle themselves in
the windows, or otherwise
injure themselves or others.
• Always double check to make
sure all arms, hands, head
and other obstructions are
safely out of the way before
closing a window.
• Do not allow children to play
with the power windows. Keep
the driver’s door power window
lock switch in the LOCK posi-
tion (pressed). Serious injury
can result from unintentional
window operation by the child.
• Do not extend your head,
arms or body outside the win-
dows whilst driving.CAUTION
• To prevent possible damage
to the power window system,
do not open or close two win-
dows or more at the same
time. This will also ensure the
longevity of the fuse.
• Never try to operate the main
switch on the driver's door
and the individual door win-
dow switch in opposite direc-
tions at the same time. If this is
done, the window will stop and
cannot be opened or closed.
WARNING
When opening or closing the
windows, make sure your pas-
senger's head and other body
parts are safely out of the way to
avoid injuries or vehicle damage.

Closing the bonnet
1. Before closing the bonnet, check
the following:
• All filler caps in the engine com-
partment must be correctly
installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to
prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the bonnet halfway and let it
drop. Make sure that it locks into
place.
WARNING
• Before closing the bonnet,
ensure that all obstructions
are removed from the bonnet
opening. Closing the bonnet
with an obstruction present in
the bonnet opening may
result in property damage or
severe personal injury.
• Do not leave gloves, rags or
any other combustible materi-
al in the engine compartment.
Doing so may cause a heat-
induced fire.
• Always double check to be
sure that the bonnet is firmly
latched before driving away. If
it is not latched, the bonnet
could open whilst the vehicle
is being driven, causing a
total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
• Do not move the vehicle with
the bonnet raised. The view
will be blocked and the bon-
net could fall or be damaged.
WARNING - Support rod
• Grasp the support rod in the
area wrapped in rubber. The
rubber will help prevent you
from being burned by hot
metal when the engine is hot.
• The support rod must be
inserted completely into the
hole provided whenever you
inspect the engine compart-
ment. This will prevent the
bonnet from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.

Features of your vehicle
✽NOTICE
• Make sure to refuel your
vehicle according to the "Fuel
Requirements" suggested in chap-
ter 1.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.(Continued)
• When refuelling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position (for automatic
transaxle) or first gear or R
(Reverse, for manual transaxle),
set the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks
produced by electrical compo-
nents related to the engine can
ignite fuel vapourscausing a
fire.
• Do not use matches or a
lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle whilst at a service sta-
tion, especially during refu-
elling.
• Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
petrol spillage.
(Continued)(Continued)
• If a fire breaks out during refu-
elling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the serv-
ice station and then contact
the local fire department.
Follow any safety instructions
they provide.
• If pressurised fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
• Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to pre-
vent fuel spillage in the event
of an accident.
CAUTION
If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction
of the fuel system or emission
control system.

Electric power steering (EPS)
The system assists you with 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.
Also, the steering effort 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, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
✽NOTICE
The following may occur during
normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics is complet-
ed, the steering wheel will return
to its normal condition.
• A click noise may be heard from
the EPS relay after the ignition
switch is placed in the ON or
LOCK/OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when
the vehicle is at stop or at a low
driving speed.
• When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperatures, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If the tem-
perature rises, the noise will disap-
pear. This is a normal condition.
STEERING WHEEL
CAUTION
If the Electric Power Steering
System does not operate nor-
mally, the warning light ( ) will
illuminate on the instrument
cluster. The steering wheel may
become difficult to control or
operate. Take your vehicle to an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked as
soon as possible.
