Modification to the original vehicle specification may invalidate the manufacturers warranty and may adverse-
ly affect the safety and durability of the vehicle.
Components which are subject to modification or are added to the original vehicle specification without the
express approval of the manufacturer and result in consequential loss or damage are not covered by the vehi-
cle manufacturers warranty.
Particular attention is drawn to the fitment of replacement road wheels having a different specification to those
installed in production. The electric power assisted steering system is specifically programmed to operate only
with the road wheels fitted during production. The installation of alternative specification road wheels may result
in the replacement road wheels fouling the vehicle body resulting in tyre damage and compromised safety. The
installation of after market wheels on vehicles equipped with TPMS may result in wheel balancing difficulties
or malfunction of the TPMS system.
We recommend that you contact a HYUNDAI authorised repairer before non original specification road wheels
are installed.
This vehicle is fitted with electronically controlled fuel injection or other \
micro processor controlled equipment.
It is possible for incorrectly installed two way radio equipment including mobile telephones to adversely affect
these systems.
Before radio equipment of this kind is installed, we recommend that you contact your HYUNDAI authorised
repairer for recommendation regarding the suitability of the particular radio equipment concerned and the rec-
ommended method of installation and equipment location. Incorrectly installed or unsuitable equipment which
gives rise to incorrect functioning of or damage to electronic vehicle components will not fall within the scope
of the vehicle manufacturers warranty.

Information
The ESC system (if equipped) must be
turned OFF before rocking the vehi-
cle.
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tyre damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more dis-tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other drivers' head-
lamps.
• Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
• Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
• Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if equipped)
• Replace your windscreen wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windscreen.
• Be sure your tyres have enough tread. If your tyres do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See "Tyre Tread" in chapter 7 .
• Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.
• Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.

Driving your vehicle
When using tyre chains:
• Wrong size chains or improperly installed chains can damage
your vehicle's brake lines, sus-
pension, body and wheels.
• Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.
• If you hear noise caused by chains contacting the body,
retighten the chain to prevent
contact with the vehicle body.
• To prevent body damage, retight- en the chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).
• Do not use tyre chains on vehi- cles equipped with aluminium
wheels. If unavoidable, use a
wire type chain.
• Use wire chains less than 12 mm (0.47 in) wide to prevent damage
to the chain’s connection.
Winter Precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule. Before winter, have your
coolant tested to assure that its
freezing point is sufficient for the
temperatures anticipated during the
winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery
and cables, as specified in chapter
7. The battery charging level can be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer or in a service station. Change to "winter weight" oil if
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is
recommended to use the "winter
weight" oil with lower viscosity. For
further information, refer to the chap-
ter 8. When you are not sure about a
type of winter weight oil, consult a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect the spark plugs, as speci-
fied in chapter 7.
If necessary,
replace them. Also check all ignition
wirings and components for any
cracks, wear-out, and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being
frozen, spray approved de-icing fluid
or glycerin into key holes. When a
lock opening is already covered with
ice, spray approved de-icing fluid
over the ice to remove it. When an
internal part of a lock freezes, try to
thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
NOTICE

What to do in an emergency
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with
the low tyre pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tyre pressure as intend-
ed. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alter-
nate tyres or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tyres or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tyres
and wheels allow the TPMS to con-
tinue to function properly. If the TPMS indicator does not illu-
minate for 3 seconds when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
position or engine is running, or if
it comes on after blinking for
approximately one minute, we rec-
ommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Low tyre pressure telltale
When the tyre pressure
monitoring system warn-
ing indicator is illuminated
and warning message
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tyres is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
If the telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cor-
nering and anticipate increased stop-
ping distances. You should stop and
check your tyres as soon as possi-
ble. 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 can-
not reach a service station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with
the spare tyre.
Then the Low Tyre Pressure telltale
may flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated after restarting and about
10 minutes of continuous driving
before you have the low pressure
tyre repaired and replaced on the
vehicle.
NOTICE

What to do in an emergency
Changing a tyre with TPMS
If you have a flat tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure will come on. We recom-
mend that the flat tyre be checked by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tyre behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you have your tyres
serviced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Even if you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure Telltale will blink or remain
on until the low pressure tyre is
repaired and placed on the vehicle.After you replace the low pressure
tyre with the spare tyre, the Low Tyre
Pressure Telltale may blink or illumi-
nate after a few minutes because the
TPMS sensor mounted on the spare
wheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tyre is rein-
flated to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or we
recommend that the TPMS sensor
mounted on the replaced spare
wheel be initiated by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer, the TPMS mal-
function indicator and the low tyre
pressure telltale will extinguish within
a few minutes of driving.
If the indicator is not extinguished
after a few minutes of driving, We rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
You may not be able to identify a low
tyre by simply looking at it. Always
use a good quality tyre pressure
gauge to measure the tyre's inflation
pressure. Please note that a tyre that
is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a
tyre that is cold.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has
been sitting for 3 hours and driven for
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3
hour period.
Allow the tyre to cool before measur-
ing the inflation pressure. Always be
sure the tyre is cold before inflating
to the recommended pressure.
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by HYUNDAI.
The sealant on the tyre pres-
sure sensor and wheel shall be
eleminated when you replace
the tyre with a new one.
CAUTION
If original mounted tyre is
replaced with the spare tyre, the
TPMS sensor on the replaced
spare wheel should be initiated
and we recommend that the
TPMS sensor on the original
mounted wheel be deactivated
by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
If the TPMS sensor on the origi-
nal mounted wheel located in
the spare tyre carrier still acti-
vates, the tyre pressure moni-
toring system may not operate
properly. We recommend that
the system be serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

TPMS
•The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre dam-
age caused by external fac-
tors such as nails or road
debris.
•If you feel any vehicle instabil-
ity, immediately take your foot
off the accelerator, apply the
brakes gradually and with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.
WARNING
Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may interfere with
the system's ability to warn the
driver of low tyre pressure con-
ditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modify-
ing, or disabling the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may void
the warranty for that portion of
the vehicle.
WARNING
For EUROPE
•Do not modify the vehicle, it
may interfere with the TPMS
function.
•The wheels on the market do
not have a TPMS sensor.
For your safety, we recom-
mend that you use parts for
replacement from a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
•If you use the wheels on the
market, use a TPMS sensor
approved by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer. If your
vehicle is not equipped with a
TPMS sensor or TPMS does
not work properly, you may
fail the periodic vehicle
inspection conducted in your
country.
❈All vehicles sold in the
EUROPE market during below
period must be equipped with
TPMS.
- New model vehicle : Nov. 1,2012 ~
- Current model vehicle : Nov. 1, 2014~ (Based on vehicle
registrations)
WARNING
We recommend that you use the
sealant approved by HYUNDAI if
your vehicle is equipped with a
Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System. The liquid sealant can
damage the tyre pressure sen-
sors.

Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem
Each tyre, 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 tyre inflation pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper tyre inflation pressure for
those tyres.)As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under-inflated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to
tyre failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tyre pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tyre pressure
telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with
the low tyre pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximate-
ly one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue upon subsequent vehi-
cle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alter-
nate tyres or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from function-
ing properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tyres or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replace-
ment or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to func-
tion properly.
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tyre life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tyre failure that
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.
