What to do in an emergency
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 a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
assistance.
•Serious loss of coolant indi-
cates a leak in the cooling
system and we recommend
the system be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
•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.
CAUTION
NEVER remove the
radiator cap or the
drain plug whilst the
engine and radiator
are hot. Hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure, causing serious
injury.
Turn the engine off and wait
until the engine cools down.
Use extreme care when remov-
ing the radiator cap. Wrap a
thick towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to the
first stop. Step back whilst the
pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you are
sure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the
cap, using a thick towel, and
continue turning counterclock-
wise to remove it.

✽NOTICE
If any of the below happens, we rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
1.The low tyre pressure telltale/
TPMS malfunction indicator does
not illuminate for 3 seconds when
Engine Start/Stop button is turned
to the ON or engine is running.
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator
remains illuminated after blinking
for approximately 1 minute.
3. The low tyre pressure position tell-
tale remains illuminated.
Low tyre pressure
telltale
Low tyre pres-
sure position
telltale and tyre
pressure telltale
When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and warning message dis-
played on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tyres is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The low tyre
pressure position telltale light will
indicate which tyre is significantly
under-inflated by illuminating the cor-
responding position light.If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tyres as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
centre pillar outer panel. If you can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with a
spare tyre.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 15 mph
(25 km/h) after replacing the low
pressure tyre with the spare tyre, the
below will happen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel.

inside of tyre hold-down wing bolt.
2. Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt
counterclockwise by the Jack han-
dle to utilise the principles of the
lever and fulcrum.
Changing tyres
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a
jack causing serious injury or
death to you or those nearby.
Take the following safety pre-
cautions:
•Do not get under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack.
•NEVER attempt to change a
tyre in the lane of traffic.
ALWAYS move the vehicle
completely off the road on
level, firm ground away from
traffic before trying to change
a tyre. If you cannot find a
level, firm place off the road,
call a towing service for assis-
tance.
•Be sure to use the jack pro-
vided with the vehicle.

jack.
•Do not allow anyone to remain
in the vehicle whilst it is on
the jack.
•Keep children away from the
road and the vehicle.

What to do in an emergency
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1.Set the Engine Start/Stop button in
the ACC position.
2.Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3.Release the parking brake.
Failure to place the shift lever in
N (Neutral) may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
CAUTION
•Do not tow the vehicle with
the rear wheels on the ground
as this may cause damage to
the vehicle.
•Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
CAUTION

If equipped with rollover sensor:
If your vehicle is equipped with
side and curtain air bag, set the
Engine Start/Stop button to OFF
or ACC position when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
The side and curtain air bag may
deploy when the engine is ON,
and the rollover sensor detects
the situation as a rollover.
WARNING

What to do in an emergency
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
• Place the Engine Start/Stop button
in the ACC position so the steering
wheel is not locked.
• Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
• Release the parking brake.
• Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
• More steering effort will be
required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
• Use a vehicle heavier than your
own to tow your vehicle.
• The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other fre-
quently.
• Before emergency towing, check
that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.• Use a towing cable or chain less
than 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 30 cm (12
inches) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so the towing cable
or chain remains tight during tow-
ing.
• Before towing, check the automat-
ic transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the automatic trans-
mission fluid is leaking, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly must
be used.
