Armrest
The  armrest  is  located  in  the  centre
of  the  rear  seat. Pull  the  armrest
down from the seatback to use it.
OAD035023
Make  sure  the  engine  is  off, the
shift  lever  is  in  P  (Park), and  the
parking brake is securely applied
whenever  loading  or  unloading
cargo. Failure to take these steps
may  allow  the  vehicle  to  move  if
the  shift  lever  is  inadvertently
moved to another position.
WA R N I N G    
Do not place objects in the rear
seats, as they cannot be proper-
ly  secured  and  may  hit  vehicle
occupants  in  a  collision  caus-
ing serious injury or death.
WA R N I N G    
When  returning  the  rear  seat-
back from a folded to an upright
position, hold  the  seatback  and
return  it  slowly. Ensure  that  the
seatback  is  completely  locked
into  its  upright  position  by
pushing  on  the  top  of  the  seat-
back. In  an  accident  or  sudden
stop, the  unlocked  seatback
could  allow  cargo  to  move  for-
ward  with  great  force  and  enter
the  passenger  compartment,
which  could  result  in  serious
injury or death.

WA R N I N G
Opening a door when something
is  approaching  may  cause  dam-
age  or  injury. Be  careful  when
opening  doors  and  watch  for
vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles
or  pedestrians  approaching  the
vehicle in the path of the door.

Boot
Opening the boot
1. Make  sure  the  shift  lever  is  in  P
(Park,  for  automatic  transmission)
or  first  gear  or  R  (Reverse,  for
manual  transmission)  and  set  the
parking brake.
2. Then do one of the following :
- Press  the  Remote  key  or  Smart
Key  Boot  Unlock  button  for  more
than one second.
- Press the button on the boot itself
with  the  Smart  Key  in  your  pos-
session.
- Use the mechanical key.
- Use the boot release lever.
3. Lift the boot lid up.
Closing the boot
Lower  the  boot  lid  and  press  down
until it locks. To be sure the boot lid is
securely  fastened,  always  check  by
trying to pull it up again.
Always  keep  the  boot  lid  com-
pletely  closed  whilst  the  vehicle
is  in  motion. If  it  is  left  open  or
ajar, poisonous  exhaust  gases
containing  carbon  monoxide
(CO)  may  enter  the  vehicle  and
serious  illness  or  death  may
result.
WA R N I N G    
Make  sure  there  are  no  people
or  objects  around  the  boot
before  opening  or  closing  the
Power  Boot. Wait  until  the  boot
is  open  fully  and  stopped
before  loading  or  unloading
cargo from the vehicle.

Closing the fuel filler door
1. To  install  the  fuel  tank  cap,  turn  it
clockwise until it “clicks” one time.
2. Close  the  fuel  filler  door  until  it  is
latched securely.
Petrol  is  highly  flammable  and
explosive. Failure  to  follow
these  guidelines  may  result  in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
•Read  and  follow  all  warnings
posted at the service station.
•Before  refuelling, note  the
location  of  the  Emergency
Petrol  Shut-Off, if  available, at
the service station.
•Before  touching  the  fuel  noz-
zle, you  should  eliminate  the
potential  build-up  of  static
electricity by touching a metal
part  of  the  vehicle, a  safe  dis-
tance  away  from  the  fuel  filler
neck, nozzle, or  other  fuel
source, with your bare hand.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G    
(Continued)
•Do  not  use  mobile  phones
whilst  refuelling. Electric  cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from mobile phones can
potentially  ignite  fuel  vapours
and cause a fire.
•Do not get back into a vehicle
once  you  have  begun  refu-
elling. You  can  generate  a
build-up of static electricity by
touching, rubbing  or  sliding
against  any  item  or  fabric
capable  of  producing  static
electricity. Static  electricity
discharge  can  ignite  fuel
vapours  causing  a  fire. If  you
must  re-enter  the  vehicle, you
should  once  again  eliminate
potentially  dangerous  static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away  from  the  fuel  filler  neck,
nozzle  or  other  fuel  source,
with your bare hand.

•When  refuelling, always  move
the  shift  lever  to  the  P  (Park)
position  (for  automatic  trans-
mission)  or  first  gear  or  R
(Reverse, for  manual  trans-
mission), set  the  parking
brake, and  place  the  ignition
switch  to  the  LOCK/OFF  posi-
tion. Sparks  produced  by
electrical  components  related
to  the  engine  can  ignite  fuel
vapours causing a fire.
•When  using  an  approved
portable  fuel  container, be
sure to place the container on
the  ground  prior  to  refuelling.
Static  electricity  discharge
from  the  container  can  ignite
fuel  vapours  causing  a  fire.
Once  refuelling  has  begun,
contact  between  your  bare
hand  and  the  vehicle  should
be  maintained  until  the  filling
is complete.

Seat Belt Warning Light
This  warning  light  informs  the  driver
that the seat belt is not fastened.
For  more  details, refer  to  “Seat
Belts” in chapter 2.
Parking  Brake  &  Brake
Fluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
•Once you turn the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- It  illuminates  for  approximately  3
seconds
- 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  illuminates
with 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  details, refer  to  “Brake
Fluid” in chapter 7).After adding
brake  fluid,  check  all  brake  com-
ponents  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. We  recommend
you  to  have  the  vehicle  inspected
by  an  authorised  HYUNDAI  deal-
er.

Dual-diagonal braking system
Yo u r   v e h i c l e   i s   e q u i p p e d   w i t h   d u a l -
diagonal braking systems.
This means you still have braking on
two  wheels  even  if  one  of  the  dual
systems 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  whilst  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.
Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
•Once you turn the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- It  illuminates  for  approximately  3
seconds and then goes off.
•When there is a malfunction with
the  ABS  (The  normal  braking  sys-
tem  will  still  be  operational  without
the  assistance  of  the  anti-lock
brake system).
In  this  case,  we  recommend  that
you  have  the  vehicle  inspected  by
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Parking  Brake  &  Brake  Fluid
Warning  Light
Driving the vehicle with a warn-
ing light ON is dangerous. If the
Parking  Brake  &  Brake  Fluid
Warning  Light  illuminates  with
the  parking  brake  released, it
indicates  that  the  brake  fluid
level is low.
In  this  case, we  recommend
that  you  have  the  vehicle
inspected  by  an  authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.
