ROAD WARNING
Hazard warning flasher
The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the vehi-
cle is stopped near the edge of a road-
way.
Press the flasher switch with the ignition
switch in any position. The flasher switch
is located in the center console switch
panel. All turn signal lights will flash
simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or not.

What to do in an emergency
EMERGENCY STARTING
Connect cables in numerical order and
disconnect in reverse order.
Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid harm to
yourself or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow the jump starting proce-
dures. If in doubt, we strongly recom-
mend that you have a competent techni-
cian or towing service jump start your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Use only a 12-volt jumper system.You can damage a 12-volt starting motor, ignition system, and otherelectrical parts beyond repair byuse of a 24-volt power supply (eithertwo 12-volt batteries in series or a24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING- Battery
• Keep all flames or sparks away from the battery. The battery pro-
duces hydrogen gas which may
explode if exposed to flame or
sparks.
If these instructions are not fol-
lowed exactly, serious personal
injury and damage to the vehicle
may occur! If you are not sure
how to follow this procedure,
seek qualified assistance.
Automobile batteries contain sul-
furic acid. This is poisonous and
highly corrosive. When jump
starting, wear protective glasses
and be careful not to get acid on
yourself, your clothing or on the
vehicle.
Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle if the discharged battery
is frozen or if the electrolyte level
is low; the battery may rupture or
explode.
WARNING- Battery
Never attempt to check the elec-
trolyte level of the battery as this
may cause the battery to rupture or
explode causing serious injury.

Jump starting procedure 1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-voltand that its negative terminal is grounded.
2. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to touch.
3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illustration. First
connect one end of a jumper cable to the
positive terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (1), then connect the other end to the
positive terminal on the booster battery
(2). Proceed to connect one end of the
other jumper cable to the negative termi-
nal of the booster battery (3), then the
other end to a solid, stationary, metallic
point (for example, the engine lifting
bracket) away from the battery (4). Do not
connect it to or near any part that moves
when the engine is cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to contact
anything except the correct battery termi-
nals or the correct ground. Do not lean
over the battery when making connec-
tions.5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery and let it run at 2,000
rpm, then start the engine of the vehi-
cle with the discharged battery.
If the cause of your battery discharging isnot apparent, you should have your vehi-cle checked by an authorized HYUNDAIdealer.
Push-starting
Your manual transaxle-equipped vehicle
should not be push-started because it
might damage the emission control sys-
tem. Vehicles equipped with automatic
transaxle cannot be push-started. Follow
the directions in this section for jump-
starting.
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle to start it
because the sudden surge forward
when the engine starts could cause
a collision with the tow vehicle.
CAUTION- Battery cables
Do not connect the jumper cable fromthe negative terminal of the booster battery to the negative terminal of thedischarged battery. This can cause the discharged battery to overheatand crack, releasing battery acid.
CAUTION-AGM battery
(if equipped)
Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) bat- teries are maintenance-free andshould only be serviced by anauthorized HYUNDAI dealer. For charging your AGM battery, useonly fully automatic batterychargers that are specially devel-oped for AGM batteries.
When replacing the AGM battery, use only the HYUNDAI genuinebattery for the ISG system.
Do not open or remove the cap on top of the battery. This may causeleaks of internal electrolyte thatcould result in severe injury.
If the AGM battery is reconnected or replaced, ISG function will notoperate immediately.
If you want to use the ISG func-tion, the battery sensor needs tobe calibrated for approximately 4hours with the ignition off.

OVF061002
WARNING- Changing tires
Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.
Always move the vehicle com- pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tire. The jack should
be used on firm level ground.
If you cannot find a firm level
place off the road, call a tow-
ing service company for
assistance.

tions on the vehicle; never
use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jack
support.

What to do in an emergency
Do not take this vehicle through anautomatic car wash while the com-
pact spare tire is installed.
Do not use tire chains on the com- pact spare tire. Because of the
smaller size, a tire chain will not fit
properly. This could damage the
vehicle and result in loss of the
chain.
The compact spare tire should not be installed on the front axle if the
vehicle must be driven in snow or
on ice.
Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle because this
tire has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
The compact spare tire’s tread life is shorter than a regular tire.
Inspect your compact spare tire
regularly and replace worn com-
pact spare tires with the same size
and design, mounted on the same
wheel. The compact spare tire should not
be used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the compact spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to
these items or other car compo-
nents may occur.
Do not use more than one compact spare tire at a time.
Do not tow a trailer while the com- pact spare tire is installed.

What to do in an emergency
Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the low Tire
Pressure and Position telltales will
come on. Have the flat tire repaired
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible or replace the
flat tire with the spare tire.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, one of the fol-
lowing will happen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continuous-
ly illuminated because the TPMS
sensor is not mounted on the spare
wheel. (changed tire equipped with
a sensor not in the vehicle)
The TPMS malfunction indicator will remain continuously illuminated
while driving because the TPMS
sensor is not mounted on the spare
wheel. (changed tire equipped with
a sensor in the vehicle)CAUTION
The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may blink for approximate-ly 1 minute and then remaincontinuously illuminated if thevehicle is moving around elec-tric power supply cables orradios transmitter such as atpolice stations, governmentand public offices, broadcast-ing stations, military installa-tions, airports, or transmittingtowers, etc. This can interferewith normal operation of theTire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).
The TPMS malfunction indica- tor may blink for approximate-ly 1 minute and then remaincontinuously illuminated ifsnow chains are used or someseparate electronic devicessuch as notebook computer,mobile charger, remote starteror navigation etc., are used inthe vehicle. This can interferewith normal operation of theTire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS).
CAUTION
Never use a puncture-repairingagent not approved by HYUNDAIto repair and/or inflate a lowpressure tire. The tire sealant notapproved by HYUNDAI may dam-age the tire pressure sensor.
The sealant on the tire pressuresensor and wheel shall be elem-inated when you replace the tirewith a new one.

Distributing the sealant
Immediately drive approximately 3 km
(2 miles) to evenly distribute the
sealant in the tire. Producing the tire inflation pres-
sure
1) After driving approximately 3 km (2
miles), stop at a suitable location.
2) Connect connection hose 9 of the compressor directly to the tire
valve.
3) Connect between compressor and the vehicle power outlet using
the cable and connectors.
4) Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the recommended tire pressure in
section 8. With the ignition
switched on, proceed as follows.
- To increase the inflation pres- sure: Switch on the compressor,
position I. To check the current
inflation pressure setting, briefly
switch off the compressor. - To reduce the inflation pres-
sure: Press the button 8 on the
compressor.
WARNING
Do not let the compressor run for
more than 10 minutes, otherwise
the device will overheat and may
be damaged.
WARNING
The tire inflation pressure must
be at least 200 kPa (29 psi). If it is
not, do not continue driving. Call
for road side service or towing.
CAUTION
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). If possible, donot fall below a speed of 20km/h (12 mph).
While driving, if you experienceany unusual vibration, ride dis-turbance or noise, reduce yourspeed and drive with cautionuntil you can safely pull off ofthe side of the road.
Call for road side service or tow-ing.
CAUTION
If the inflation pressure is notmaintained, drive the vehicle asecond time, refer toDistributing the sealant. Thenrepeat steps 1 to 4.
Use of the TireMobilityKit maybe ineffectual for tire damagelarger than approximately 4 mm(0.16 in).
Please contact the nearestHYUNDAI dealer, or a workshopthat works according toHYUNDAI repair procedureswith correspondingly trainedpersonnel if the tire cannot bemade roadworthy with theTireMobilityKit.
