Introduction
For customers who do not use TOP
Tier Detergent Gasoline regularly,
and have problems starting or the
engine does not run smoothly, deter-
gent-based fuel additives that you
can purchase separately may be
added to the gasoline. If TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline is not available,
one bottle of additive added to the
fuel tank at every 7,500 miles or 12months is recommended.
Additives are available from your
authorized HYUNDAI dealer along
with information on how to use them.
Do not mix other additives.
Operation in foreign countries
If you are going to drive your vehicle
in another country, be sure to:
Observe all regulations regardingregistration and insurance.
Determine that acceptable fuel is available. No special break-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you
may add to the performance, econo-
my and life of your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emer- gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.

Parking Brake & BrakeFluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
Once you set the ignition switch or the Engine Start/Stop button to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3seconds.
- It remains on if the parking brake is applied.
When the parking brake is applied.
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminateswith the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the brake fluid level immediately and add fluid as required (For more
information, refer to "Brake
Fluid" in chapter 7) . After adding
brake fluid, check all brake compo-
nents for fluid leaks. If a brake fluid
leak is found, or if the warning light
remains on, or if the brakes do not
operate properly, do not drive the
vehicle. Have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems should fail. With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure is
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition-
al engine braking and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.

This warning light illuminates:
Once you turn the ignition switch or the Engine Start/Stop button to the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3seconds and then goes off.
When one or more of your tires are significantly underinflated (The
location of each underinflated tire
is displayed on the LCD display).
For more information, refer to"Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)" in chapter 6.
This warning light remains ON
after blinking for approximately 60
seconds, or repeatedly blinks ON
and OFF in 3 second intervals:
When there is a malfunction with the
TPMS.
In this case, have your vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
For more information, refer to "Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)" in chapter 6.
Autonomous Emergency Braking(AEB) Warning light (if equipped)
This warning light illuminates :
When the AEB system is turned off.
When the radar sensor or cover is blocked with dirt or snow. Check
the sensor and cover and clean
them by using a soft cloth.
When there is a malfunction with AEB. In this case, have your vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Safe Stopping
The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tire damage
caused by external factors.
If you notice any vehicle insta-
bility, immediately take your
foot off the accelerator pedal,
apply the brakes gradually with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.

Driving your vehicle
Under certain conditions, suchas repeated stop-and-go launch-
es on steep grades, the trans-
mission clutches may overheat.
When the clutches are overheat-
ed, the transmission safe pro-
tection mode logic is enabled. If the safe protection mode logic
is enabled, the gear position
indicator on the cluster blinks
with a chime sound. At this time,
a warning message will appear
on the LCD display and driving
may not be smooth. If you ignore
this warning, the driving condi-
tion may become worse. If this
occurs, stop the vehicle, apply
the brakes or shift the vehicle to
P (Park), and allow the transmis-sion to cool.
If the Ecoshift dual clutch trans- mission starts to become over-
heated, the gear shift character-
istics may change. Gear shifts
may become more abrupt. If
continued operation includes
frequent and continuous
upshifts and downshifts, the
overheat warning message on
the cluster LCD display may illu-
minate. If this occurs, stop the
vehicle, apply the brakes or shift
the vehicle to (P) Park, and allowthe transmission to cool. When possible, continue to
drive the vehicle smoothly while
trying to avoid frequent upshift-
ing and downshifting.
Gear shifts may be more notice- able than a conventional auto-
matic transmission. This is a
normal characteristic of this
type of Ecoshift dual clutchtransmission.
During the first 1000 miles, you may feel that the vehicle may notbe smooth when accelerating at
low speed. During this break-in
period, the shift quality and per-
formance of your new vehicle is
continuously optimized.
Always come to a complete stop before shifting into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
Do not put the shift lever in N (Neutral) while driving.

Driving your vehicle
Good Driving Practices
Never move the shift lever from P(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedaldepressed.
Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is inmotion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transmission could be damaged.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, butconsistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even
brake failure.
Depressing both accelerator and brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power
reduction to assure vehicle decel-
eration. Vehicle acceleration will
resume after the brake pedal isreleased. When driving in Manual Shift
Mode, slow down before shifting to
a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower
gear may not be engaged if the
engine rpms are outside of the
allowable range.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle controlresulting in an accident.
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothlydepressing and releasing the
accelerator.
Information - Kickdown
Mechanism
Use the kickdown mechanism for
maximum acceleration. Depress the
accelerator pedal beyond the pressure
point. The automatic transmission will
shift to a lower gear depending on the
engine speed. i
