What to do in an emergency
6
Your vehicle is equipped with emer-
gency commodities to help you
respond to emergency situation.
Fire extinguisher
If there is small fire and you know
how to use the fire extinguisher, fol-
low these steps carefully.
1. Pull out the safety pin at the top ofthe extinguisher that keeps the
handle from being accidentally
pressed.
2. Aim the nozzle towards the base of the fire.
3. Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away from the fire and squeeze
the handle to discharge the extin-
guisher. If you release the handle,
the discharge will stop.
4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire. After the fire
appears to be out, watch carefully
since it may re-ignite.
First aid kit
Supplies for use in giving first aid
such as scissors, bandage and
adhesive tape, etc. are provided.
Triangle reflector
Place the triangle reflector on the
road to warn oncoming vehicles dur-
ing emergencies, such as when the
vehicle is parked by the roadside due
to problems.
Tyre pressure gauge
(if equipped)
Tyres normally lose some air in day-
to-day use, and you may have to add
a air periodically and usually it is not
a sign of a leaking tyre, but of normal
wear. Always check tyre pressure
when the tyres are cold because tyre
pressure increases with temperature. To check the tyre pressure, take the
following steps:
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the
tyre.
2. Press and hold the gauge against the tyre valve. Some air will leak
as you begin and more will leak if
you don't press the gauge in firm-
ly.
3. A firm non-leaking push will acti- vate the gauge.
4. Read the tyre pressure on the gauge to see whether the tyre
pressure is low or high.
5. Adjust the tyre pressure to the specified pressure. Refer to "Tyres
and Wheels" in chapter 8.
6. Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

Maintenance
At least once a year:
Clean body and door drain holes.
Lubricate door hinges and bonnethinges.
Lubricate door and bonnet locks and latches.
Lubricate door rubber weather strips.
Check the air conditioning system.
Inspect and lubricate daul clutch transmission linkage and controls.
Clean the battery and terminals.
Check the brake fluid level. Follow Normal Maintenance Schedule
if the vehicle is usually operated where
none of the following conditions apply.
If any of the following conditions apply,
you must follow the Maintenance
Under Severe Usage Conditions.
Repeated driving short distance of
less than 5 miles (8 km) in normal
temperature or less than 10miles
(16 km) in freezing temperature
Extensive engine idling or low speed driving for long distances
Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, graveled or salt-spread
roads
Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold
weather
Drinving in heavy dust condition
Driving in heavy traffic area
Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain road repeatedly Towing a trailer or using a camper,
or roof rack
Driving as a patrol car, taxi, other commercial use of vehicle towing
Driving over 106 miles/h (170 km/h)
Frequently driving in stop-and-go condition
If your vehicle is operated under theabove conditions, you shouldinspect, replace or refill more fre-quently than "Normal MaintenanceSchedule which is provided in yourService Booklet."

Maintenance
Information
The engine coolant and/or inverter
coolant level is influenced by the
hybrid system temperature. Before
checking or refilling the engine
coolant and/or inverter coolant, turn
the hybrid vehicle off.
i
Never remove the
engine coolant cap
and/or inverter coolant
cap or the drain plug
whilst the engine and
radiator are hot. Hot coolant and
steam may blow out under pres-
sure, causing serious injury.
Turn the hybrid system off and
wait until the engine cools down.
Use extreme care when remov-
ing the engine coolant cap
and/or inverter coolant cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly
to the first stop. Step back whilst
the pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you are
sure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the cap,
using a thick towel, and continue
turning counterclockwise to
remove it.

Maintenance
Recommended coolant
When adding coolant, use onlydistilled (deionized) water for your
vehicle and never mix hard water in
the coolant filled at the factory.
An incorrect coolant mixture can result in severe malfunction or
engine/hybrid system damage.
The engine in your vehicle has alu- minium engine parts and must be
protected by an phosphate-based
ethylene glycol coolant to prevent
corrosion and freezing.
Do not use alcohol or methanol coolant or mix them with the spec-
ified coolant.
Do not use a solution that contains more than 60% antifreeze or less
than 35% antifreeze, which would
reduce the effectiveness of the
solution. For mixing percentage, refer to the
following table:
Information
If in doubt about the mix ratio, a 50%
water and 50% antifreeze mix is the
easiest to mix together as it will be the
same quantity of each. It is suitable to
use for most temperature ranges of
-35°C (-31°F) and higher.
Changing coolant
We recommend that coolant be
changed by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
To prevent damage to engine parts,
put a thick towel around the engine
coolant cap and/or inverter coolant
cap before refilling the coolant to
prevent the coolant from overflow-
ing into engine parts, such as the
generator.

Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely
obscure visibility when sprayed
on the windscreen and may
cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Engine coolant may also cause
damage to paint and body trim.
