✽NOTICE
• The vehicle will not stop for pedes-
trians or objects that may be in its
path, so the driver must monitor
the manoeuvre.
• Use the system only in parking lots
and places used for parking.
• The system does not work if there is
no car parked in front of the park-
ing space you are planning to park
or if it is a diagonal parking space.
• After parking your vehicle using
the system, the vehicle may not be
parked at the exact spot you have
wished. For example, the space
between your vehicle and wall
may not be the distance you have
desired.
• Deactivate the system and park
your vehicle manually, when the sit-
uation requires parking manually.
• The Parking Assist System's front
and rear warning sound activates
when the Smart Parking Assist
System is activated.

can be affected by many fac-
tors and conditions of the sur-
roundings, so the responsibili-
ty rests always with the driver.
•The system may not operate
normally if the vehicle needs
wheel alignment adjustment.
We recommend that you have
the vehicle checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
•If you use a different tyre or
wheel size rather than the size
recommended by the HYUNDAI
dealer, the system may not
work properly. Always use the
same size tyre and wheel.
•If you use additional frame on
the license plate, SPAS may
generate abnormal warning
sound.

Driving up or down hills
• Driving uphill
- Before starting off, check if it is
possible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
• Driving downhill
- Do not change gear whilst driving
downhill. Select gear before driv-
ing downhill.

Emergency precautions
Tyres
When replacing the tyres, be sure to
equip all four tyres with the tyre and
wheel of the same size, type, tread,
brand and load-carrying capacity.In an emergency situation, a compact
spare tyre may be used. But, do not
use the compact spare tyre continu-
ously. Repair or replace the original
tyre as soon as possible to avoid fail-
ure of the differential or AWD system. Exercise extreme caution driv-
ing up or down steep hills. The
vehicle may flip depending on
the grade, terrain and water/mud
conditions.
WARNING
OLMB053017
Never start or run the engine
whilst an AWD vehicle is raised
on a jack. The vehicle can slip or
roll off of a jack causing serious
injury or death to you or those
nearby.
WARNING
ODH053139
Do not use tyre and wheel with
different size and type from the
one originally installed on your
vehicle. It can affect the safety
and performance of your vehi-
cle, which could lead to steering
failure or rollover causing seri-
ous injury.

Driving your vehicle
Snow or icy conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake
applications, and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine
braking to the fullest extent. Sudden
brake applications on snowy or icy
roads may cause skids to occur.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tyres
or to install tyre chains on your tyres.
Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to
carry include tyre chains, tow straps
or chains, a flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables,
a window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

We recommend you use snow tyres when road temperature is below 7°C
(45°F). Refer to the below chart, and mount the recommended snow tyre for
your vehicle.

If you mount snow tyres on your vehi-
cle, make sure to use the same infla-
tion pressure as the original tyres.
However, if you mount 245/40R19
size tyre on the rear, the tyre inflation
pressure should maintain 35psi.
Mount snow tyres on all four wheels
to balance your vehicle's handling in
all weather conditions. The traction
provided by snow tyres on dry road
may not be as high as your vehicle's
original equipment tyres. Check with
the tyre dealer for maximum speed
recommendations.
✽NOTICE
Do not install studded tyres without
first checking local and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
Tyre chains
Since the sidewalls on some radial
tyres are thinner than other types of
tyres, they may be damaged by
mounting certain types of tyre chains
on them. Therefore, the use of snow
tyres is recommended instead of tyre
chains. Do not mount tyre chains on
vehicles equipped with aluminum
wheels; if unavoidable, use AutoSock
(fabric snow chain). Install the tyre
chain after reviewing the instructions
provided with the tyre chains.
Damage to your vehicle caused by
improper tyre chain use is not cov-
ered by your vehicle manufacturer’s
warranty.The use of AutoSock (fabric
snow chain) may adversely
affect vehicle handling:
•Drive less than 20 mph (30
km/h) or the chain manufac-
turer’s recommended speed
limit, whichever is lower.
•Drive carefully and avoid
bumps, holes, sharp turns,
and other road hazards, which
may cause the vehicle to
bounce.
•Avoid sharp turns or locked
wheel braking.

Driving your vehicle
✽NOTICE
• Install AutoSock (fabric snow
chain) on the rear tyres for 2WD
vehicles or on all four tyres for
AWD vehicles. It should be noted
that installing AutoSock (fabric
snow chain) on the tyres will pro-
vide a greater driving force, but
will not prevent side skids.
• Do not install studded tyres with-
out first checking local and munic-
ipal regulations for possible
restrictions against their use.Chain InstallationWhen installing AutoSock (fabric
snow chain), follow the manufactur-
er's instructions and mount them as
tightly possible. Drive slowly (less
than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with chains
installed. If you hear the chains con-
tacting the body or chassis, stop and
tighten them. If they still make con-
tact, slow down until the noise stops.
Remove the AutoSock (fabric snow
chain) as soon as you begin driving
on cleared roads.
When mounting AutoSock (fabric
snow chain), park the vehicle on
level ground away from traffic. Turn
on the vehicle Hazard Warning
Flasher and place a triangular emer-
gency warning device behind the
vehicle (if available).
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and turn off
the engine before installing tyre
chains.When using AutoSock (fabric
snow chain):
•Wrong size chains or improp-
erly installed chains can dam-
age your vehicle's brake lines,
suspension, body and wheels.
•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 driv-
ing 0.3~0.6 miles (0.5~1.0 km).
