When the BSD cancelled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dir t or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the BSD system should operate nor-

ing the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch
will turn off. The system will turn off
automatically. We recommend that
you have your vehicle inspected by
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.

The hazard warning flasher serves as
a warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
over taking, or passing your vehicle.
It should be used whenever emer-
gency repairs are being made or
when the vehicle is stopped near the
edge of a roadway.
To t u r n t h e h a z a r d w a r n i n g f l a s h e r
on or off, press the hazard warning
flasher button with the Engine
Start/Stop button in any position. The
button is located in the centre fascia
panel. All turn signal lights will flash
simultaneously.
•The hazard warning flasher oper-
ates whether your vehicle is run-
ning or not.
•The turn signals do not work when
the hazard flasher is on.
If the engine stalls whilst driv-
ing
•Reduce your speed gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
•Turn on your hazard warning flash-
er.
•Try to start the engine again.If your

If any of the below happens, have
the system checked by an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer.
1. The Low Tyre Pressure Telltale/
TPMS Malfunction Indicator
does not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when the ignition switch
is placed to the ON position or
the engine is running.
2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
remains illuminated after blink-
ing for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low Tyre Pressure Position
Te l l t a l e r e m a i n s i l l u m i n a t e d .
Low tyre pressure
telltale
Low tyre pressure position
and tyre pressure telltale
When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and a warning message is dis-
played on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tyres is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The Low Tyre
Pressure Position Telltale will indi-
cate which tyre is significantly under-
inflated by illuminating the corre-
sponding position light.
If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tyres as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label located on the driver’s side
centre pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station
or if the tyre cannot hold the newly
added air, replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre.
The Low Tyre Pressure Telltale will
remain on and the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may blink for one minute
and then remain illuminated (when
the vehicle is driven approximately
20 minutes at speed above 25 km/h)
until you have the low pressure tyre
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
Information
The spare tyre is not equipped with a
tyre pressure sensor.

Maintenance
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
•Check the engine oil level.
•Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
•Check the windscreen washer fluid
level.
•Check for low or under-inflated
tyres.
Whilst operating your vehicle:
•Note any changes in the sound of
the exhaust or any smell of exhaust
fumes in the vehicle.
•Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead position.
•Notice if your vehicle constantly
turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when travelling on smooth, level
road.
•When stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or
“hard-to-push” brake pedal.
•If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission fluid
level.
•Check the automatic transmission
P (Park) function.
•Check the parking brake.
•Check for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle (water dripping from the air con-
ditioning system during or after use
is normal).
At least monthly:
•Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
•Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
•Check the inflation pressures of all
tyres including the spare for tyres
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
•Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in
coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.
