Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
High-pressure washing
• When using high-pressure washers,
make sure to maintain sufficient dis-
tance from the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive
pressure can lead to component dam-
age or water penetration.
• Do not spray the camera, sensors or its
surrounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from
high pressure water may cause the
device to not operate normally.
• Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or plastic covers) or con-
nectors as they may be damaged if
they come into contact with high pres-
sure water.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly
and frequently at least once a month with
lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road driv-
ing, you should wash it after each off-
road trip. Pay special attention to the
removal of any accumulation of salt, dirt,
mud, and other foreign materials. Make
sure the drain holes in the lower edges of
the doors and rocker panels are kept
clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish.
APPEARANCE CARE
CAUTION
• Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents or hot water, and do
not wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or when the body of the
vehicle is warm.
• Be careful when washing the side
windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressure
water. Water may leak through the
windows and wet the interior.
• To prevent damage to the plastic
parts and lamps, do not clean
with chemical solvents or strong
detergents.
WARNING - Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes whilst driving slowly to see
if they have been affected by water.
If braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly whilst maintaining a slow
forward speed.

Bright-metal maintenance
• To remove road tar and insects, use a
tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
• To protect the surfaces of bright-metal
parts from corrosion, apply a coating of
wax or chrome preservative and rub to
a high luster.
• During winter weather or in coastal
areas, cover the bright metal parts with
a heavier coating of wax or preserva-
tive. If necessary, coat the parts with
non-corrosive petroleum jelly or other
protective compound.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may col-
lect on the underbody. If these materials
are not removed, accelerated rusting can
occur on underbody parts such as the
fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust
system, even though they have been
treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody
and wheel openings with lukewarm or
cold water once a month, after off-road
driving and at the end of each winter. Pay
special attention to these areas because
it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It
will do more harm than good to wet down
the road grime without removing it. The
lower edges of doors, rocker panels, and
frame members have drain holes that
should not be allowed to clog with dirt;
trapped water in these areas can cause
rusting.WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes whilst driving slowly to see
if they have been affected by water.
If braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly whilst maintaining a slow
forward speed.

3. Exhaust emission control
system
The Exhaust Emission Control System is
a highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions whilst maintaining
good vehicle performance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could affect
its performance, safety or durability and
may even violate governmental safety
and emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modification
may not be covered under warranty.
• If you use unauthorised electronic
devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage, bat-
tery discharge and fire. For your safety,
do not use unauthorised electronic
devices.
Engine exhaust gas precautions
(carbon monoxide)
• Carbon monoxide can be present with
other exhaust fumes. Therefore, if you
smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside
your vehicle, have it inspected and
repaired immediately. If you ever sus-
pect exhaust fumes are coming into
your vehicle, drive it only with all the
windows fully open. Have your vehicle
checked and repaired immediately.• Do not operate the engine in confined
or closed areas (such as garages) any
more than what is necessary to move
the vehicle in or out of the area.
• When the vehicle is stopped in an
open area for more than a short time
with the engine running, adjust the
ventilation system (as needed) to draw
outside air into the vehicle.
• Never sit in a parked or stopped vehi-
cle for any extended time with the
engine running.
• When the engine stalls or fails to start,
excessive attempts to restart the
engine may cause damage to the
emission control system.
WARNING- Exhaust
Engine exhaust gases contain car-
bon monoxide (CO). Though
colourless and odourless, it is dan-
gerous and could be lethal if
inhaled. Follow the instructions
following to avoid CO poisoning.

Operating precautions for catalytic
converters (if equipped)Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
• Use only UNLEADED FUEL for petrol
engines.
• Do not operate the vehicle when there
are signs of engine malfunction, such
as misfire or a noticeable loss of per-
formance.
• Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting with
the ignition off and descending steep
grades in gear with the ignition off.
• Do not operate the engine at high idle
speed for extended periods (5 minutes
or more).
• Do not modify or tamper with any part
of the engine or emission control sys-
tem. We recommend that the system
be inspected by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer.
• Avoid driving with a very low fuel level.
If you run out of petrol, it could cause
the engine to misfire and result in
excessive loading of the catalytic con-
verter.
Failure to observe these precautions
could result in damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle.
Additionally, such actions could void your
warranties.Diesel Particulate Filter (if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) sys-
tem removes the soot in the exhaust gas.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In
other words, the active burning by engine
control system and high exhaust gas
temperature caused by normal/high driv-
ing condition burns and removes the
accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to be
driven at repeated short distance or driv-
en at low speed for a long time, the accu-
mulate soot may not be automatically
removed because of low exhaust gas
temperature. More than a certain amount
of soot deposited, the malfunction indica-
tor light ( ) illuminates.
When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving the
vehicle at more than 37 mph (60km/h) or
at more than second gear with 1500 ~
2500 engine rpm for a certain time (for
about 25 minutes).
WARNING- Fire
• A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your vehi-
cle. Do not park, idle, or drive the
vehicle over or near flammable
objects, such as grass, vegeta-
tion, paper, leaves, etc.
• The exhaust system and catalytic
system are very hot whilst the
engine is running or immediately
after the engine is turned off. Keep
away from the exhaust system
and catalytic, you may get burned.
Also, do not remove the heat sink
around the exhaust system, do
not seal the bottom of the vehicle
or do not coat the vehicle for cor-
rosion control. It may present a
fire risk under certain conditions.

Low urea warning message
(if equipped)
The lack warning messages of Urea
appear below Urea 3.7 litre. When the
warning message "Low Urea" is dis-
played with SCR warning lamp ( ), the
urea tank needs to be refilled. If not
refilled for a considerable mileage, visual
warning system will escalate the intensi-
ty by displaying the message "Refill
Urea" with SCR warning lamp ( ).
In this case, the tank soon needs to be
refilled. The remaining urea in the tank
approaches to too low level the warning
message "Refill Urea in 000km or vehicle
will not start" with SCR warning lamp
( ). "xxx km(mile)" represents the
remaining travel distance allowed, so do
not continue driving to the limit of the
remaining travel distance without refill-
ing.
Otherwise, the vehicle can't be restarted
once the engine is turned off by ignition
key. Based on the driving pattern, envi-
ronmental condition and road profile, the
deducted remaining mileage may differ
from the actual travel distance.When "Low Urea" or "Refill Urea" mes-
sage is displayed, add at least 2 litres of
urea. When "Refill Urea in 000km or vehi-
cle will not start" message is displayed,
fill up urea at least 4 litres. When "Refill
Urea tank or vehicle will not start" mes-
sage is displayed with SCR warning lamp
( ), the vehicle can't be restarted once
the engine is turned off by ignition key.
For the above cases, full replenishment
is always recommended.

Maintenance
❈Use only the ISO 22241-specified
urea solution. Any unauthorized
urea solution surely applies adverse
impacts on the vehicle performance,
causing various malfunctions.
4. Turn the urea solution tank cap in a
clockwise direction to securely close it.
Adding the urea solution: Every approxi-
mately 6,000 km (The urea solution con-
sumption is dependent on the road pro-
file, driving pattern and environmental
condition)
❈It takes some time to update the clus-
ter gauges after the UREA injection.(Continued)
• The urea solution system (i.e.
urea solution nozzle, urea solu-
tion pump, and DCU) operates for
approximately 2 minutes more to
eliminate the remaining urea
solution inside, even after the
ignition switch is pressed to the
OFF position. Before the mainte-
nance service, make sure that the
urea solution system is com-
pletely turned OFF.
• The poor urea solution or the
unauthorized liquids may dam-
age the vehicle components,
including the DPF system. Any
unverified additives in the urea
solution may clog the SCR cata-
lyst and cause other malfunc-
tions, which require the expen-
sive DPF system to be replaced.
• When the urea solution contacts
with the eyes or the skin, you
should thoroughly wash the con-
taminated skin area. .
• When you swallow the urea solu-
tion, thoroughly rinse your mouth
and drink a lot of fresh water. Then,
immediately consult a doctor.
(Continued)WARNING
• Do not apply any external impact
on the DPF system. It may dam-
age the catalyst, which is
equipped inside the DPF system.
• Do not arbitrarily modify or
manipulate the DPF system by
redirecting or lengthen the
exhaust pipe. It may adversely
impact the DPF system.
• Avoid contact with the drained
water from the exhaust pipe. The
water is slightly acid and harmful
to skin. If contacted, thoroughly
wash it.
• Any arbitrary manipulation or
modification of the DPF system
may cause a system malfunction.
The DPF system is controlled by
the complex device.
• Wait for the DPF system to cool
down before the maintenance
service, as it is hot due to the
heat generation. Otherwise, it
may case a skin burn.
• Add only the specified urea solu-
tion, when your vehicle is
equipped with the urea solution
system.
