What to do in an emergency
Jump starting procedure 
1.Make sure the booster battery is12-volt and that its negative termi- 
nal is grounded.
2.If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow the vehicles totouch.
3.Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
4.Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illus-
tration. First connect one end of a
jumper cable to the positive termi-
nal of the main fuse box (1), thenconnect the other end to the posi-
tive terminal on the booster battery(2). Proceed to connect one end of the
other jumper cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery (3),then the other end to a solid, sta-
tionary, metallic point (for example,
the engine lifting bracket) away
from the negative battery terminal
(4). Do not connect it to or near any
part that moves when the engine is
cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct
ground. Do not lean over the bat-
tery when making connections.
AGM battery (if equipped)
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) batteries are maintenance-free and we recommend that
the system be serviced by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
For charging your AGM bat-
tery, use only fully automatic
battery chargers that are spe-
cially developed for AGM bat-teries.
When replacing the AGM bat- 
tery, we recommend that you
use parts for replacement
from an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Do not open or remove the 
cap on top of the battery. This
may cause leaks of internal
electrolyte that could result in
severe injury.
(Continued)
(Continued)
If the AGM battery is recon- 
nected or replaced, ISG func-tion will not operate immedi-
ately. 
If you want to use the ISG 
function, the battery sensor
needs to be calibrated for
approximately 4 hours with
the ignition off.
During the period, the dark 
current must be under 100 mA.
CAUTION
Battery cables Do not connect the jumper 
cable from the negative terminal
of the booster battery to thenegative terminal of the dis-
charged battery. This can cause
the discharged battery to over-
heat and crack, releasing bat-
tery acid.

 Use a towing strap less than 5 m(16 feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches)
wide) in the middle of the strap for
easy visibility.
 Drive carefully so that the towing strap is not loosened during tow-ing.
Emergency towing precautions
 Turn the ignition switch to ACC sothe steering wheel isn’t locked.
 Place the transmission shift lever in N (Neutral).
 Release the parking brake. 
 Press the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will 
have reduced brake performance.
 More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
 If you are driving down a long hill, the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.
Use extreme caution when tow-
ing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic
driving maneuvers which 
would place excessive stress
on the emergency towing
hook and towing cable or
chain. The hook and towing
cable or chain may break and
cause serious injury or dam-
age.
If the disabled vehicle is 
unable to be moved, do not
forcibly continue the towing.
Contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service for
assistance.
Tow the vehicle as straight 
ahead as possible.
Keep away from the vehicle 
during towing.

Maintenance
Maintenance work
Performing maintenance work 
on a vehicle can be danger-
ous. You can be seriously
injured while performing
some maintenance proce-
dures. If you lack sufficient
knowledge and experience or
the proper tools and equip-
ment to do the work, we rec-ommend that the system be
serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Working under the hood with 
the engine running is danger-
ous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear
jewelry or loose clothing.These can become entangled
in moving parts and result in
injury.(Continued)
WARNING  Continued)
Therefore, if you must run the 
engine while working under
the hood, make certain that
you remove all jewelry (espe-
cially rings, bracelets, watch-
es, and necklaces) and all
neckties, scarves, and similar
loose clothing before gettingnear the engine or coolingfans.
Do not put heavy objects or 
apply excessive force on top
of the engine cover (ifequipped) or fuel related
parts.
When you inspect the fuel system (fuel lines and fuel
injection devices), we recom-
mend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not drive long time with 
the  engine cover (if equipped)
removed.
When checking the engine 
room, do not go near  fire. 
Fuel, washer fluid, etc. are 
flammable oils that may cause
fire.
Before touching the battery, 
ignition cables and electrical
wiring, you should disconnect
the battery "-" terminal. You
may get an electric shock
from the electric current. (Continued)

Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be 
changed at the intervals specified in
the maintenance schedule. If the
vehicle is being driven in severe con-
ditions, more frequent oil and filterchanges are required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of 
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked peri-
odically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
Fuel filter (cartridge)
A clogged filter can limit the speed at 
which the vehicle may be driven,damage the emission system and
cause multiple issues such as hard
starting. If an excessive amount of
foreign matter accumulates in the
fuel tank, the filter may require
replacement more frequently. 
After installing a new filter, run the 
engine for several minutes, and
check for leaks at the connections.
We recommend that the fuel filter be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and con- nections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and 
connections for leakage and dam-
age. We recommend that the fuel
lines, fuel hoses and connection be
replaced by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
When you are inspecting the 
belt, place the ignition switch in
the LOCK/OFF or ACC position.
CAUTION
In case the fuel filter is clogged 
due to not conforming to the
maintenance period, the fuel
injection equipment may supply
the fuel insufficiently, which
may damage the fuel injectionequipment and cause the
engine to stall at worst cases.
CAUTION
Diesel only 
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30seconds after shutting off
engine. High pressure pump,
rail, injectors and high pressurepipes are subject to high pres-
sure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced
by fuel leaks may cause serious
injury, if it touch the body.
People using pacemakers
should not move than 30cm
closer to the ECU or wiring har-
ness within the engine room
while engine is running, sincethe high currents in the
Common Rail system produce
considerable magnetic fields.
WARNING

Maintenance
Checking the parking brake
Check the stroke of the parking 
brake by counting the number of
“clicks’’ heard while fully applying it
from the released position. Also, the
parking brake alone should securely
hold the vehicle on a fairly steep
grade. If the stroke is more or less
than specified, we recommend that
the system be serviced by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer. 
Stroke : 7 “clicks’’ at a force of 
20 kg (44 lbs, 196 N).
Draining water from fuel filter
The fuel filter for diesel engine plays 
an important role of separating water
from fuel and accumulating the waterin its bottom.
If water accumulates inthe fuel filter, the warninglight comes on when the
ignition switch is in the ONposition.
If this warning light turned
on, we recommend that
the system be serviced by
an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Fuel filter cartridge replace- ment
When replacing the fuel filter car- 
tridge, we recommend that you
use parts for replacement from an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
