✽NOTICE
After reconnecting or recharging a dis-
charged battery, the ESP (ESC) indica-
tor may illuminate. In this case, turn the
steering wheel half way to the left and
right whilst the ignition switch is in the
ON position. Then, restart the engine
after the ignition is off. If the ESP (ESC)
indicator does not turn off, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
ESP (ESC) OFF usage
When driving
• The ESP (ESC) turned on for daily
driving whenever possible.
• To turn ESP (ESC) off whilst driving,
press the ESP (ESC) OFF button
whilst driving on a flat road surface.
Never press the ESP (ESC) OFF button
whilst ESP (ESC) is operating (ESP
(ESC) indicator light blinks).
If ESP (ESC) is turned off whilst ESP
(ESC) is operating, the vehicle may slip
out of control.
✽NOTICE
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the ESP
(ESC) is turned off (ESP (ESC) OFF
light illuminated). If the ESP (ESC) is
left on, it may prevent the vehicle
speed from increasing, and result in
false diagnosis.
• Turning the ESP (ESC) off does not
affect ABS or brake system operation.
CAUTION
Driving with varying tyre or wheel
sizes may cause the ESP (ESC) sys-
tem to malfunction. When replacing
tyres, make sure they are the same
size as your original tyres.
WARNING
The Electronic Stability Program
(Electronic stability control) system
is only a driving aid; use precau-
tions for safe driving by slowing
down on curved, snowy, or icy
roads. Drive slowly and don’t
attempt to accelerate whenever the
ESP (ESC) indicator light is blink-
ing, or when the road surface is
slippery.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-
tance for braking.
• Avoid sudden movements in braking or
steering.
• When braking with non-ABS brakes
pump the brake pedal with a light up-
and-down motion until the vehicle is
stopped.• If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tyre chains, or
other non-slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when stalled
in ice, snow, or mud.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to free
it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn the
steering wheel right and left to clear the
area around your drive wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between 1st (First)
and R (Reverse) in vehicles equipped
with a manual transmission or R
(Reverse) and any forward gear in vehi-
cles equipped with an automatic trans-
mission. Do not race the engine, and spin
the wheels as little as possible. If you are
still stuck after a few tries, have the vehi-
cle pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating and possible damage
to the transmission.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
WARNING - ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
WARNING - Downshifting
Downshifting with an automatic
transmission, whilst driving on
slippery surfaces can cause an
accident. The sudden change in
tyre speed could cause the tyres to
skid. Be careful when downshifting
on slippery surfaces.
CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause
engine over-heating, transmission
damage or failure, and tyre damage.

Towbars
It's important to have the correct towbar
equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks
going by, and rough roads are a few rea-
sons why you’ll need the right towbar.
Here are some rules to follow:
• Will you have to make any holes in the
body of your vehicle when you install a
trailer towbar? If you do, then be sure
to seal the holes later when you
remove the towbar.
If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon
monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can
get into your vehicle, as well as dirt and
water.
• The bumpers on your vehicle are not
intended for towbars. Do not attach
rental towbars or other bumper-type
towbars to them. Use only a frame-
mounted towbar that does not attach to
the bumper.
Safety cables
You should always attach cables
between your vehicle and your trailer.
Cross the safety cables under the nose
of the trailer so that the nose will not drop
to the road if it becomes separated from
the towbar.
Instructions about safety cables may be
provided by the towbar manufacturer or
by the trailer manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation for
attaching safety cables. Always leave just
enough slack so you can turn with your
trailer. And, never allow safety cables to
drag on the ground.
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a braking
system, make sure it conforms to local
regulations and that it is properly
installed and operating correctly.
If your trailer weighs more than the max-
imum trailer weight without trailer brakes
loaded, then it needs its own brakes and
they must be adequate. Be sure to read
and follow the instructions for the trailer
brakes so you’ll be able to install, adjust
and maintain them properly.
• Don’t tap into your vehicle's brake sys-
tem.
WARNING- Trailer brakes
Do not use a trailer with its own
brakes unless you are absolutely
certain that you have properly set
up the brake system. This is not a
task for amateurs. Use an experi-
enced, competent trailer shop for
this work.

However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here's how to do it:
1. Pull the vehicle into the parking space.
Turn the steering wheel in the direction
of the kerb (right if headed down hill,
left if headed up hill).
2. If the vehicle has a manual transmis-
sion, place the car in neutral. If the
vehicle has an automatic transmission,
place the car in P (Park).
3. Set the parking brake and shut off the
vehicle.
4. Place chocks under the trailer wheels
on the down hill side of the wheels.
5. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes, shift
to neutral, release the parking brake
and slowly release the brakes until the
trailer chocks absorb the load.
6. Reapply the brakes, reapply the park-
ing brake and shift the vehicle to R
(Reverse) for manual transmission or
P (Park) automatic transmission.
7. Shut off the vehicle and release the
vehicle brakes but leave the parking
brake set.When you are ready to leave after park-
ing on a hill
1. With the manual transmission in
Neutral or automatic transmission in P
(Park), apply your brakes and hold the
brake pedal down whilst you:
• Start your engine;
• Shift into gear; and
• Release the parking brake.
2. Slowly remove your foot from the
brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of
the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and
store the chocks.
WARNING- Parking brake
It can be dangerous to get out of
your vehicle if the parking brake is
not firmly set.
If you have left the engine running,
the vehicle can move suddenly. You
or others could be seriously or
fatally injured.

6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts coun-
terclockwise one turn each, but do
not remove any nut until the tyre
has been raised off the ground.7. Place the jack at the front or rear
jacking position closest to the tyre
you are changing. Place the jack
at the designated locations under
the frame. The jacking positions
are plates welded to the frame
with two tabs and a raised dot to
index with the jack.

WARNING- Jack location
To reduce the possibility of
injury, be sure to use only the
jack provided with the vehicle
and in the correct jack position;
never use any other part of the
vehicle for jack support.

Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tyres, tyres that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tyres should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. To reduce the possibility of
losing control, slow down whenever
there is rain, snow or ice on the road.
Tyre maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease
tyre wear. If you find a tyre is worn
unevenly, we recommend that the
wheel alignment be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tyre life. Additionally, a tyre should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.(Continued)
• Using tyres and wheel other
than the recommended sizes
could cause unusual handling
characteristics and poor vehi-
cle control, resulting in a seri-
ous accident.
• Wheels that do not meet
HYUNDAI’s specifications
may fit poorly and result in
damage to the vehicle or
unusual handling and poor
vehicle control.
• The ABS works by comparing
the speed of the wheels. Tyre
size can affect wheel speed.
When replacing tyres, all 4
tyres must use the same size
originally supplied with the
vehicle. Using tyres of a dif-
ferent size can cause the ABS
(Anti-lock Brake System) and
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) (if equipped) to work
irregularly.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling
characteristics, ground clear-
ance, body-to-tyre clearance,
snow chain clearance,
speedometer and odometer cal-
ibration, headlight aim and
bumper height.
