Driving your vehicle
Ready to leave after parking ona hill
1. With the shift lever in P (Park, for
dual clutch transmission vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle), apply your brakes and
hold the brake pedal down whilst
you:
• Start your engine;
• Shift into gear; and
• Release the parking brake.
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.
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, dual
clutch 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 tow-
bar. 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
towbar 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 whilst the coolant gauge indi-
cates over-heating.
(Keep the engine idle to cool
down the engine)
• When towing check dual clutch fluid more frequently.
• If your vehicle is not equipped with an air conditioner, you
should install a condenser fan
to improve engine performance
when towing a trailer.

Two labels on your driver’s door sill
show how much weight your vehicle
was designed to carry: the Tyre and
Loading Information Label and the
Certification Label.
Before loading your vehicle, famil-
iarise yourself with the following
terms for determining your vehicle's
weight ratings, from the vehicle's
specifications and the Certification
Label:
Base Kerb 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 Kerb 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 kerb 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 Kerb 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
VEHICLE WEIGHT
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.

The hazard warning flasher serves
as a warning to other drivers to exer-
cise extreme caution when approach-
ing, overtaking, or passing your vehi-
cle.
It should be used whenever emer-
gency repairs are being made or
when the vehicle is stopped near the
edge of a roadway.To turn the hazard warning flasher
on or off, press the hazard warning
flasher button with the ignition switch
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 vehicle will not start, we recom-
mend that you contact a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroads or
crossing, if safe to do so, move the
shift lever to the N (Neutral) position
and then push the vehicle to a safe
location.

What to do in an emergency
If you have a flat tyre whilst
driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driv-
ing:
• Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow
down whilst 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 dual clutch transmission vehicle)
or neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle), 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 tyre, 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 a 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.
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT
START
Push or pull starting the vehicle
may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overload which can
lead to damage to the emission
control system.

If the engine turns over nor-
mally but doesn't start
• Check the fuel level and add fuel ifnecessary.
If the engine still does not start, we
recommend that you call a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer for assistance. Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Follow the jump
starting procedure in this section to
avoid serious injury or damage to
your vehicle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehicle, we
strongly recommend that you have a
service technician or towing service
do it for you.
JUMP STARTING

reach of children.
Batteries contain sulfu-
ric acid which is highly
corrosive. Do not allow
acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get imme-
diate medical attention. If acid
gets on your skin, thoroughly
wash the area. If you feel pain or
a burning sensation, get med-
ical attention immediately.
•When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
