Driving your vehicle
Turn signals when towing atrailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle
has to have a different turn signal
flasher and extra wiring. The green
arrows on your instrument panel will
flash whenever you signal a turn or
lane change. Properly connected,
the trailer lights will also flash to alert
other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green
arrows on your instrument panel will
flash for turns even if the bulbs on
the trailer are burned out. Thus, you
may think drivers behind you are
seeing your signals when, in fact,
they are not. It’s important to check
occasionally to be sure the trailer
bulbs are still working. You must also
check the lights every time you dis-connect and then reconnect the
wires.
The ECU of the tow bar wiring har-
ness warns the driver about the
burned-out bulbs on the trailer by
flashing the green arrows on the
instrument panel with the warningsound. Do not connect a trailer lighting sys-
tem directly to your vehicle’s lighting
system. Use only an approved trailer
wiring harness.
An authorized HYUNDAI dealer can
assist you in installing the wiring har-
ness.
Driving on grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower
gear before you start down a long or
steep downgrade. If you don’t shift
down, you might have to use your
brakes so much that they would get
hot and no longer operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down
and reduce your speed to around 70km/h (45 mph) to reduce the possi-
bility of engine and transmission
overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trail-
er brakes.
Failure to use an approved trail-er wiring harness could result
in damage to the vehicle electri-
cal system and/or personal
injury.

Driving your vehicle
The following procedures can be
used to confirm that the locking dif-
ferential is functioning properly:
(1) Position the vehicle so that onewheel is on a dry paved surface
and the other on ice, snow, mud,
etc. Drive the vehicle, and
observe the operation of the lock-
ing differential. The vehicle
should not become stuck if the
differential is functioning properly.
(2) Depress the accelerator pedal
gradually, and then when traction
is good, depress it forcefully. If
the vehicle accelerates well, the
differential is functioning properly.
Information
Usually a locking differential will
operate and release automatically but
occasionally it may not release auto-
matically.
At this time you will feel the tire is
dragged when you are driving or cor-
nering. You can release it manually by
slightly turning the steering wheel
right and left while the vehicle is mov-
ing slowly.
i
Never start the engine with
the gearshift lever placed in
the forward or reverse whileone of the rear wheels is
jacked up and the other in
contact with the ground;
doing so may cause the vehi-
cle to jump forward.
If one of the rear wheels
begins to spin in mud, snow,
etc., the vehicle can some-
times be driven out bydepressing the accelerator
pedal further; however, avoid
running the engine continu-
ously at high rpm because
doing so could damage the
locking differential.

10. Changing wheels
Loosen the wheel nuts and remove
them with your fingers. Slide the
wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it
cannot roll away. To put the wheel on
the hub, pick up the spare tire, lineup the holes with the studs and slide
the wheel onto them. If this is diffi-cult, tip the wheel slightly and get thetop hole in the wheel lined up with
the top stud. Then jiggle the wheel
back and forth until the wheel can be
slid over the other studs.
On a double-tire vehicle, first
remove the outside tire, then
remove the inner tire.
NOTICE
Use only the jack included
with the vehicle and use it
only for changing a wheel.
Position the jack on a hard
level surface.
If the release valve is loos-
ened by turning it 2 or more
times in the counterclockwise
direction, the jack cannot beused.
This jack is hydraulic, and the
ram is a two-stage type. Whenboth rams are raised and thestop mark of the upper ram
becomes visible, stop jacking
immediately.
Further extension of the ram
may damage the jack.
When jacking up the vehicle,
do so only until the tires are
slightly lifted from the ground.
It is dangerous to jack up the
vehicle more than that much.(Continued)
CAUTION(Continued)
It is very dangerous if the jack
somehow slips, so never
leave the vehicle in the
jacked-up position, and never
shake the vehicle while it israised.
Do not get under the vehicle
when it is supported by the
jack! This is very dangerous as
the vehicle could fall and cause
serious injury or death. No one
should stay in the vehicle while
the jack is being used.

What to do in an emergency
To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire
from rattling while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.
Important - use of compactspare tire (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare tire. This compact spare
tire takes up less space than a regu-
lar-size tire. This tire is smaller than a
conventional tire and is designed for
temporary use only.
You should drive carefully when the compact spare is in use. The compact spare should be
replaced by the proper conven-
tional tire and rim at the first
opportunity.
The operation of this vehicle is not recommended with morethan one compact spare tire in
use at the same time.
NOTICE
Your vehicle has metric threads
on the wheel studs and nuts.
Make certain during wheel
removal that the same nuts that
were removed are reinstalled -
or, if replaced, that nuts withmetric threads and the same
chamfer configuration are used.Installation of a non-metric
thread nut on a metric stud or
vice-versa will not secure the
wheel to the hub properly and
will damage the stud so that it
must be replaced.
Note that most lug nuts do not
have metric threads. Be sure to
use extreme care in checking
for thread style before installing
aftermarket lug nuts or wheels.
If in doubt, we recommend that
you consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
Inadequate spare tire pressure
Check the inflation pressures
as soon as possible after
installing the spare tire. Adjust
it to the specified pressure, if
necessary. Refer to “Tires and
wheels” in section 8.
WARNING
Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they
may lose their ability to retain
the wheel. This could lead to theloss of the wheel and a collisionresulting in serious injuries.
WARNING

What to do in an emergency
The compact spare tire should notbe used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the compact spare wheel. Ifsuch use is attempted, damage tothese items or other car compo-
nents may occur.
Do not use more than one compact spare tire at a time.
Do not tow a trailer while the com- pact spare tire is installed.Towing service
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dolliesor flatbed is recommended. On 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to
tow the vehicle with the rear wheels
on the ground (without dollies) and
the front wheels off the ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or sus- pension components are damaged
or the vehicle is being towed with the
front wheels on the ground, use a
towing dolly under the front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the front of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the rear.

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)
