Driving your vehicle
Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer
attached to your vehicle, you should
not park your vehicle on a hill.
However, if you ever have to park
your trailer on a hill, here's how to do
it:
1. Pull the vehicle into the parkingspace.
Turn the steering wheel in the direction of the curb (right if head-
ed down hill, left if headed up hill).
2. Shift the vehicle to P (Park, for automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle).
3. Set the parking brake and shut off the vehicle.
4. Place wheel 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 park-
ing brake and slowly release the
brakes until the trailer chocks
absorb the load. 6. Reapply the brakes and parking
brakes.
7. Move the shift lever to P (Park, for automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission vehicle) or 1st
gear when the vehicle is parked
on a uphill grade and in R
(Reverse) on a downhill (for man-
ual transmission vehicle).
8. Shut off the vehicle and release the vehicle brakes but leave the
parking brake set.
Ready to leave after parking ona hill
1. With the shift lever to P (Park, for
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or neutral (for
manual transmission vehicle),
apply your brakes and hold the
brake pedal down while you:

and

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.
To prevent serious or fatal
injury:
Do not get out of the vehicle
without the parking brake
firmly set. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle
can move suddenly. You and
others could be seriously or
fatally injured.
Do not apply the accelerator
pedal to hold the vehicle on
an uphill.

Maintenance when towing a
trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trail-
er. Important items to pay particular
attention to include engine oil, auto-
matic transmission fluid, axle lubri-
cant and cooling system fluid. Brake
condition is another important item to
frequently check. If you’re trailering,
it’s a good idea to review these items
before you start your trip. Don’t forget
to also maintain your trailer and
hitch. Follow the maintenance sched-
ule that accompanied your trailer and
check it periodically. Preferably, con-
duct the check at the start of each
day’s driving. Most importantly, all
hitch nuts and bolts should be tight.To prevent vehicle damage:
Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur
on hot days or during uphill driv-
ing. If the coolant gauge indi-
cates over-heating, switch off
the air conditioner and stop the
vehicle in a safe area to cool
down the engine.
Do not switch off the engine while the coolant gauge indi-
cates over-heating.
(Keep the engine idle to cool
down the engine)
When towing check automatic transmission fluid more fre-
quently.
If your vehicle is not equipped with an air conditioner, you
should install a condenser fan
to improve engine performance
when towing a trailer.
NOTICE

Two labels on your driver’s door sill
show how much weight your vehicle
was designed to carry: the Tire and
Loading Information Label and the
Certification Label.
Before loading your vehicle, familiar-
ize yourself with the following terms
for determining your vehicle's weight
ratings, from the vehicle's specifica-
tions and the Certification Label:
Base Curb Weight
This is the weight of the vehicle includ-
ing a full tank of fuel and all standard
equipment. It does not include pas-
sengers, cargo, or optional equipment.
Vehicle Curb Weight
This is the weight of your new vehicle
when you picked it up from your deal-
er plus any aftermarket equipment.
Cargo Weight
This figure includes all weight added
to the Base Curb Weight, including
cargo and optional equipment.GAW (Gross Axle Weight)
This is the total weight placed on
each axle (front and rear) - including
vehicle curb weight and all payload.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum allowable
weight that can be carried by a single
axle (front or rear). These numbers
are shown on the Certification Label.
The total load on each axle must
never exceed its GAWR.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)
This is the Base Curb Weight plus
actual Cargo Weight plus passen-
gers.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating)
This is the maximum allowable
weight of the fully loaded vehicle
(including all options, equipment,
passengers and cargo). The GVWR
is shown on the Certification Label
located on the driver’s door sill.Overloading

The Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) and the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) for your
vehicle are on the Certification
Label attached to the driver's
(or front passenger’s) door.
Exceeding these ratings can
cause an accident or vehicle
damage. You can calculate the
weight of your load by weighing
the items (and people) before
putting them in the vehicle. Be
careful not to overload your
vehicle.

What to do in an emergency
If you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
When the vehicle has slowed to
such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes. When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
move the shift lever into P (Park,
for automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission vehicle) or neu-
tral (for manual transmission vehi-
cle), apply the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
Have all passengers get out of the vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
When changing a flat tire, follow the instructions provided later in
this chapter.If the engine doesn't turn over
or turns over slowly
Be sure the shift lever is in N(Neutral) or P (Park) if it is an auto-
matic transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle. The engine
starts only when the shift lever is in
N (Neutral) or P (Park).
Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start
it. This could cause damage to your
vehicle. See instructions for "Jump
Starting" provided in this chapter.

6. If you cannot find the cause of the overheating, wait until the engine
temperature has returned to nor-
mal. Then, if coolant has been
lost, carefully add coolant to the
reservoir to bring the fluid level in
the reservoir up to the halfway
mark.
7. Proceed with caution, keeping alert for further signs of overheat-
ing. If overheating happens again,
we recommend that you call an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
(1) Low Tire Pressure Telltale/TPMS Malfunction Indicator
(2) Low tire pressure position telltale and tire pressure telltale
(Shown on the LCD display)
Check tire pressure
You can check the tire pressure inthe Assist mode on the cluster.
Refer to the "LCD Modes" in chapter 3.
Tire pressure is displayed few min- utes later after driving.
If tire pressure is not displayed when the vehicle is stopped, "Drive to dis-
play" message will appear. After driv-
ing, check the tire pressure.
Serious loss of coolant indi-
cates a leak in the cooling
system and we recommend
the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
When the engine overheats
from low engine coolant, sud-
denly adding engine coolant
may cause cracks in the
engine. To prevent damage,
add engine coolant slowly in
small quantities.

The displayed tire pressure valuesmay differ from those measured
with a tire pressure gauge.
You can change the tire pressure unit in the User Settings mode on
the instrument cluster.
- psi, kpa, bar (Refer to "LCD
Modes" in chapter 3).Tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tire inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.) As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tire failure that
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.
