Carrying long/narrow cargo (if equipped)
Additional cargo space is provided to
accommodate long/narrow cargo
(skis, poles, etc.) not able to fit prop-
erly in the trunk when closed.
1. Pull the armrest down.
2. Pull the cover down while pushing
the release lever down.

Cargo should always be
secured to prevent it from being
thrown about the vehicle in a
collision and causing injury to
the vehicle occupants. Do not
place objects in the rear seats,
since they cannot be properly
secured and may hit the front
seat occupants in a collision.
WARNING
Be careful when loading
cargo through the rear pas-
senger seats to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle interior.
When cargo is loaded through
the rear passenger seats,
ensure the cargo is properly
secured to prevent it from
moving while driving.
CAUTION

securely applied whenever load-
ing or unloading cargo.
Failure to take these steps may
allow the vehicle to move if the
shift lever is inadvertently moved
to another position.

The doors should always be
fully closed and locked while
the vehicle is in motion. If the
doors are unlocked, the risk of
being thrown from the vehicle in
a crash is increased.
WARNING
Do not leave children or animals
unattended in your vehicle. An
enclosed vehicle can become
extremely hot, causing death or
serious injury to unattended
children or animals who cannot
escape the vehicle. Children
might operate features of the
vehicle that could injure them,
or they could encounter other
harm, possibly from someone
gaining entry to the vehicle.
WARNING
Always secure your vehicle.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked
increases the potential risk to
you or others from someone
hiding in your vehicle.
To secure your vehicle, while
depressing the brake, move the
shift lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion, engage the parking brake,
and place engine Start/Stop but-
ton to the OFF position, close all
windows, lock all doors, and
always take the key with you.
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
If people must spend a longer
time in the vehicle while it is
very hot or cold outside, there
is rick of injuries or danger to
life. Do not lock the vehicle from
the outside when there are peo-
ple in it.

Information
Make sure to refuel your vehicle
according to the "Fuel Requirements"
suggested in the Introduction chapter.
Do not spill fuel on the exteriorsurfaces of the vehicle. Any type
of fuel spilled on painted sur-
faces may damage the paint.
If the fuel filler cap requires replacement, use only a genuine
HYUNDAI cap or the equivalent
specified for your vehicle. An
incorrect fuel filler cap can
result in a serious malfunction
of the fuel system or emission
control system.
NOTICE
i(Continued)
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage.
If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department. Follow
any safety instructions they
provide.
If pressurized fuel sprays out,
it can cover your clothes or
skin and thus subject you to
the risk of fire and burns.
Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap
is venting fuel or if you hear a
hissing sound, wait until the
condition stops before com-
pletely removing the cap.
Always check that the fuel cap
is installed securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an
accident.
(Continued)
Static electricity dischargefrom the container can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
Once refueling has begun,
contact between your bare
hand and the vehicle should
be maintained until the filling
is complete.
Use only approved portable
plastic fuel containers designed
to carry and store gasoline.
When refueling, always move
the shift lever to the P (Park)
position, set the parking brake,
and place engine Start/Stop
button to the OFF position.
Sparks produced by electrical
components related to the
engine can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.
Do not use matches or a
lighter and do not smoke or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station,
especially during refueling.

(Continued)
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by touch-
ing, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric capable of
producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially danger-
ous static electricity discharge
by touching a metal part of the
vehicle, away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle or other gasoline
source, with your bare hand.
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be
sure to place the container on
the ground prior to refueling.(Continued)

Parking Brake & BrakeFluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
When the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON position
- It illuminates for approximately 3seconds and then goes off.
- 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.
When the regenerative brake does not operate.
When only one of the dual system is working, the stopping distance
will be increased
If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.
2. Stop the vehicle, immediately check the brake fluid level and add
fluid, if necessary (For more infor-
mation, refer to "Brake Fluid" in
the chapter 7). After adding brake
fluid, check all brake components
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 systems fails.
With only one of the dual systems
working, longer pedal travel and
greater pedal pressure is required. If the brakes fail, while driving, shift
to a lower gear for additional engine
braking and stop the vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so.
(red color)
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, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
