If you are considering to tow with
your vehicle, you should first check
with your country's Department of
Motor Vehicles to determine legal
requirements. Since laws vary the
requirements for towing trailers, cars,
or other types of vehicles or appara-
tus may differ. Ask a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer for further details
before towing.
Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in han-
dling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering requires
correct equipment, and it has to be
used properly. Damage to your vehi-
cle caused by improper trailer towing
is not covered by your vehicle manu-
facturer’s warranty.This section contains many time-
tested, important trailering tips and
safety rules. Many of these are
important for your safety and that of
your passengers. Please read this
section carefully before you pull a
trailer.
TRAILER TOWING
Take the following precautions:
•If you don't use the correct
equipment and/or drive improp-
erly, you can lose control of the
vehicle when you are pulling a
trailer. For example, if the trailer
is too heavy, the braking per-
formance may be reduced. You
and your passengers could be
seriously or fatally injured. Pull
a trailer only if you have fol-
lowed all the steps in this sec-
tion.
•Before towing, make sure the
total trailer weight, GCW
(Gross Combination Weight),
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight),
GAW (Gross Axle Weight) and
trailer tongue load are all with-
in the limits.
•When you tow a trailer, make
sure to turn off the ISG sys-
tem.

Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering
wheel with one hand. Then, to move
the trailer to the left, move your hand
to the left. To move the trailer to the
right, move your hand to the right.
Always back up slowly and, if possi-
ble, have someone guide you.
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer,
make wider turns than normal. Do this
so your trailer won’t strike soft shoul-
ders, kerbs, road signs, trees, or other
objects. Avoid jerky or sudden
manoeuvres. Signal well in advance.
Turn signals
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle
has to have a different turn signal
flasher and extra wiring. The green
arrows on your instrument panel will
flash whenever you signal a turn or
lane change. Properly connected,
the trailer lights will also flash to alert
other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green
arrows on your instrument panel will
flash for turns even if the bulbs on
the trailer are burned out. Thus, you
may think drivers behind you are
seeing your signals when, in fact,
they are not. It’s important to check
occasionally to be sure the trailer
bulbs are still working. You must also
check the lights every time you dis-
connect and then reconnect the
wires.Do not connect a trailer lighting
system directly to your vehi-
cle’s lighting system. Use an
approved trailer wiring harness.
Failure to do so could result in
damage to the vehicle electrical
system and/or personal injury.
Consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer for assistance.WARNING

LIGHT BULBS
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switch is
in the LOCK/OFF position and
turn off the lights to avoid sud-
den movement of the vehicle and
burning your fingers or receiving
an electric shock.
WARNING
Consult a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer to replace most vehicle light
bulbs. It is difficult to replace vehicle
light bulbs because other parts of the
vehicle must be removed before you
can get to the bulb. This is especially
true for removing the headlamp
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlamp
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electric
wiring system.
Information
After heavy driving, rain or washing,
headlamp and tail lamp lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused
by the temperature difference between
the lamp inside and outside. This is
similar to the condensation on your
windows inside your vehicle during the
rain and doesn’t indicate a problem
with your vehicle. If the water leaks
into the lamp bulb circuitry, we rec-
ommend that the system be checked
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Information - Desiccant
(if equipped)
This vehicle is equipped with desic-
cant to reduce fogging inside the head-
lamp due to moisture.
The desiccant is consumable and its
performance may change based on the
used period or environment.
If fogging inside the headlamp due to
moisture continues for a long time, we
recommend that you consult a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Information - Traffic Change
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a
country with opposite traffic direc-
tion, this asymmetric part will dazzle
oncoming car driver. To prevent daz-
zle, ECE regulation demand several
technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive sheet, down
aiming). These headlamps are
designed not to dazzle opposite driv-
ers. So, you need not change your
headlamps in a country with opposite
traffic direction.i

Maintenance(Continued)
• The poor urea solution or the
unauthorized liquids may
damage the vehicle compo-
nents, including the DPF sys-
tem. Any unverified additives
in the urea solution may clog
the SCR catalyst and cause
other malfunctions, which
require the expensive DPF
system to be replaced.
• When the urea solution con-
tacts with the eyes or the skin,
you should thoroughly wash
the contaminated skin area. .
• When you swallow the urea
solution, thoroughly rinse
your mouth and drink a lot of
fresh water. Then, immediately
consult a doctor.
• When your cloth is contami-
nated with the urea solution,
immediately change your
cloth.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•When you have an allergic
reaction to the urea solution,
immediately consult a doctor.
• Do not allow a child to contact
the urea solution.
• Wipe off any urea solution
spillage with water or cloth.
When the urea solution is
crystalized, wipe it off with the
sponge or the cloth, which is
dampened in the cold water.
When the urea solution
spillage is exposed in the air
for an extended period of
time, it is crystalized in white,
damaging the vehicle surface.
• The urea solution is not the
fuel additives. Thus, it should
not be injected to the fuel
tank. Otherwise, it may dam-
age the engine.
• The urea solution is the aque-
ous solution, which is inflam-
mable, non-toxic, colourless
and odourless.
(Continued)(Continued)
•Store the urea solution tank
only in the well-ventilated
locations. When the urea solu-
tion is exposed to the hot tem-
perature at approximately
50°C for an extended period of
time (i.e. under the direct sun-
light), the chemical decompo-
sition may occur, emitting the
ammonia vapour.
