Never allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the parking brake. If the
parking brake is released

If there is a malfunction with the
FCA system, the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system is not applied
even though the braking sys-
tem is operating normally.
If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
The FCA system may activate
during braking and the vehi-
cle may stop suddenly shift-
ing loose objects toward the
passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured.
The FCA system may not acti-
vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid a colli-
sion.
The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.(Continued)
(Continued)
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.
The FCA system operates
only to help detect vehicles or
pedestrians in front of the
vehicle.
The FCA system does not
operate when the vehicle is in
reverse.
The FCA system is not
designed to detect other
objects on the road such as
animals.
The FCA system does not
detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane.
The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.(Continued)
(Continued)
The FCA system cannot
detect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a dead
end street.)
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.

If you carry items inside your
vehicle (e.g., suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else),
they are moving as fast as the
vehicle. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, the items will keep going
and can cause an injury if they
strike the driver or a passenger.
Put items in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
Do not stack items, like suit-
cases, inside the vehicle
above the tops of the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured
child restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something
inside the vehicle, secure it.

Failure to shift to N (Neutral) may
cause internal damage to the vehi-
cle.

Emergency Towing
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you have it done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-
ing hook at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in
good condition.Always follow these emergency tow-
ing precautions:
While depressing the brake pedal
shift to the N (Neutral) position and
turn the vehicle off. The POWER
button will be in the ACC position.
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
Use a vehicle heavier than your own to tow your vehicle.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently.
Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or dam-
aged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force. Use a towing cable or chain less
than 16 feet (5 m) long. Attach a
white or red cloth (about 12 inch
(30 cm) wide) in the middle of the
cable or chain for easy visibility.
Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during towing.
Before towing, check the reduction gear for fluid leaks under your vehi-
cle. If the reduction gear is leaking,
flatbed equipment or a towing dolly
must be used.

continue to operate
or start up when the
vehicle is not running
and can cause serious injury.
