Driving your vehicle
Information
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the ABS
warning light ( ) may turn on at the
same time. This happens because of
the low battery voltage. It does not
mean your ABS is malfunctioning.
Have the battery recharged before
driving the vehicle.Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
(if equipped)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system helps to stabilize the
vehicle during cornering maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going. ESC applies braking pressure
to any one of the vehicle’s brakes
and intervenes in the engine man
agement system to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Always
adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
i
When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy road,
and apply your brakes continuous
ly, the ABS will be active continu
ously and the ABS warning light
() may illuminate. Pull your car
over to a safe place and turn the
engine off.
Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your ABS
system is normal. Otherwise, you
may have a problem with your
ABS system. We recommend that
you contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as pos
sible.
CAUTION
OGC054007

When using tire chains:
•Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage your
vehicle's brake lines, suspension,
body and wheels.
•Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.
•If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to prevent contact with the
vehicle body.
•To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.5~1.0 km
(0.3~0.6 miles).
•Do not use tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels. If
unavoidable, use a wire type
chain.
•Use wire chains less than 15 mm
(0.59 in) wide to prevent damage
to the chain’s connection.
Winter precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in chapter 7. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on
the battery system. Visually inspect
the battery and cables as described
in chapter 7. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
service station.
Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during cold weather. See
chapter 8 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, we recommend that you
consult with an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in chapter 7 and replace
them if necessary. Also check all
ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or
damaged in any way.

IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
If the engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
• Be sure the shift lever is in N(Neutral) or P (Park) if it is an auto
matic transaxle vehicle. The engine
starts only when the shift lever is in
N (Neutral) or P (Park).
• Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
• Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to
start it. This could cause damage to
your vehicle.
See instructions for "Jump Starting"
provided in this chapter.
If the engine turns over normally
but doesn't start
• Check the fuel level and add fuel if necessary.
If the engine still does not start, we
recommend that you call an author
ized HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

DEATH to you or bystanders,
always follow these precautions
when working near or handling the
battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection
designed to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away
from the battery.
Hydrogen is always pres
ent in battery cells, is high
ly combustible, and may
explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of
reach of children.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Batteries contain sulfuric
acid which is highly corro
sive. Do not allow acid to
contact your eyes, skin or
clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get immedi
ate medical attention. If acid gets
on your skin, thoroughly wash the
area. If you feel pain or a burning
sensation, get medical attention
immediately.
•When lifting a plasticcased bat
tery, excessive pressure on the
case may cause battery acid to
leak. Lift with a battery carrier or
with your hands on opposite cor
ners.
•Do not attempt to jump start
your vehicle if your battery is
frozen.
(Continued)
WARNING
•Improper jump starting proce
dure can result in battery explo
sion and acid burn hazard.
•Loosely connected battery
cables could damage the elec
tronic control units.
•To disconnect battery terminals
wait for at least 2 minutes to
allow discharge of high voltage
or it could lead to personal
injury.
•While disconnecting, always dis
connect the VE terminal first
and while connecting, always
connect the VE terminal last.
CAUTION

To prevent damage to your vehicle:
•Only use a 12volt power supply
(battery or jumper system) to jump
start your vehicle.
•Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle by pushstarting.
Information
An inappropriately disposed battery can be harmful to the
environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local law(s)
or regulation.
Jump starting procedure
1. Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles totouch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the engine compartment at all
times, even when the vehicles are
turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park, for
automatic transaxle vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transaxle vehi
cle), and set the parking brakes.
Turn both vehicles OFF.

tion.
•Do not allow the (+) and ()
jumper cables to touch. It may
cause sparks.
•The battery may rupture or
explode when you jump start
with a low or frozen battery.
•Never attempt jump start if you
observe cracks, leaks or other
damage on Battery.

4. Connect the jumper cables in theexact sequence shown in the illus
tration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+)
jumper terminal of your vehicle(1).
5. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive
(+) battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
6. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative ()
batter y/chassis ground of the
assisting vehicle (3). 7. Connect the other end of the sec
ond jumper cable to the black,
negative () chassis ground of
your vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the cor
rect battery or jumper terminals or
the correct ground. Do not lean
over the battery when making
connections.
8. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run at approxi
mately 2,000 rpm for a few min
utes. Then start your vehicle.
If your vehicle will not start after a
few attempts, it probably requires
servicing. In this event please seek
qualified assistance. If the cause of
your batter y discharging is not
apparent, we recommend that your
vehicle be checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Disconnect the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order you connectedthem:
1. Disconnect the jumper cable from
the black, negative () chassis
ground of your vehicle (4).
2. Disconnect the other end of the jumper cable from the black, neg
ative () battery/chassis ground of
the assisting vehicle (3).
3. Disconnect the second jumper cable from the red, positive (+)
batter y/jumper terminal of the
