Driving your vehicle
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and turn off
the engine before installing snow
chains.
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 15 mm
(0.59 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 the
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 the 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.

What to do in an emergency
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.

If you have a flat tyre whilst
driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driv-
ing:
• Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal 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 automatic 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 auto-
matic 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 any of the below happens, we rec-
ommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
1. The low tyre pressure telltale/
TPMS malfunction indicator
does not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position or
the engine is running.
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator
remains illuminated after blink-
ing for approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low tyre pressure position
telltale remains illuminated.

When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and a warning message dis-
played on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tyres is signifi-
cantly under-inflated. The low tyre
pressure position telltale light will
indicate which tyre is significantly
under-inflated by illuminating the cor-
responding position light.If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tyres as soon as pos-
sible. 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 a
spare tyre.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 15.5 mph
(25 km/h) after replacing the low
pressure tyre with the spare tyre, the
following will happen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illumi-
nated because the TPMS sensor is
not mounted on the spare wheel.

nal8. With the engine start/stop button
position on or ignition switch posi-
tion on, switch on the compressor
and let it run for approximately
5~7 minutes to fill the sealant up
to proper pressure. (refer to the
Tyre and Wheels, section 8). The
inflation pressure of the tyre after
filling is unimportant and will be
checked/ corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the
tyre and stay away from the tyre
when filling it.
