Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. Exposure to CO can cause
unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If
you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the
vehicle, we recommend that the exhaust system be checked as soon as possible by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Run the engine only
long enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an
open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and fan control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes located in front of the windscreen
clear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.
If you must drive with the tailgate open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face", and the fan control set to high.

Do not disassemble the front
view camera temporarily to
tint the window or attach any
types of coatings and acces-
sories. If you disassemble the
camera and assemble it again,
we recommend that you take
your vehicle to an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer and have the
system checked for calibra-
tion.
When you replace the wind-
screen glass, front view cam-
era or related parts of the
steering wheel, we recom-
mend that you take your vehi-
cle to an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer and have the system
checked for calibration.
The system helps detect lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.

Please refer to "Limitations of
the System".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LFA system.
You may not hear a warning
sound of LFA system if the
audio volume is high.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. This may prevent the LFA
system from functioning
properly.
Always have your hands on
the steering wheel whilst the
LFA system is activated. If you
continue to drive with your
hands off the steering wheel
after the "Keep hands on
steering wheel" warning mes-
sage appears, the system will
turn off automatically.
(Continued)(Continued)
However, if the driver has their
hands on the steering wheel
again, the system will start
controlling the steering
wheel.
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system. The driver
must always follow the speed
limit when using the system.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.
When you tow a trailer, make
sure that you turn off the LFA
system.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem helps detect lane markers on the
road with a camera at the front wind-
screen, and assists the driver's
steering to help keep the vehicle
between lanes.
When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, whilst applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to help pre-
vent the vehicle from moving out of
its lane.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always be aware of the sur-
roundings and steer the vehicle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA) system:
Do not turn the steering wheel
suddenly when the steering
wheel is being assisted by the
system.
LKA system helps to prevent
the driver from moving out of
the lane unintentionally by
assisting the driver's steering.
However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always pay attention on
the steering wheel to stay in
the lane.

The severe weather conditions of
winter quickly wear out tyres and
cause other problems. To minimise
winter driving problems, you should
take the following suggestions:
Information
Information for Snow Tyres and Tyre
Chains in the national language
(Bulgarian, Hungarian, Icelandic,
Polish) is provided in the Appendix.
Snow or icy conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake
applications, and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine
braking to the fullest extent. Sudden
brake applications on snowy or icy
roads may cause the vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tyres
or to install tyre chains on your tyres.Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to
carry include tyre chains, tow straps
or chains, a flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables,
a window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
Snow tyres
If you mount snow tyres on your vehi-
cle, make sure to use radial tyres of
the same size and load range as the
original tyres. Mount snow tyres on
all four wheels to balance your vehi-
cle’s handling in all weather condi-
tions. The traction provided by snow
tyres on dry roads may not be as
high as your vehicle's original equip-
ment tyres. Check with the tyre deal-
er for maximum speed recommenda-
tions.
Information
Do not install studded tyres without
first checking local and municipal regu-
lations for possible restrictions against
their use.

cle's standard tyres. Otherwise,
the safety and handling of your
vehicle may be adversely affect-
ed.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
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 an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer or in a service sta-
tion.
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 an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.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.Use approved window washer
anti-freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorised window
washer anti-freeze solution, as spec-
ified on the window washer contain-
er. Window washer anti-freeze solu-
tion is available from an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer, and most vehicle
accessory outlets. Do not use engine
coolant or other types of anti-freeze
solution, to prevent any damage to
the vehicle paint.

Do not let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. When
there is the risk that your parking
brake may freeze, temporarily apply
it with the shift lever in P (Park). Also,
block the rear wheels in advance, so
the vehicle may not roll. Then,
release the parking brake.Do not let ice and snow accumu-
late underneath
Under some conditions, snow and
ice can build up under the fenders
and interfere with the steering. When
driving in such conditions during the
severe winter, you should check
underneath the vehicle on a regular
basis, so ensure that the front
wheels and the steering components
is unblocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather condi-
tions, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment, whilst driv-
ing. Some of the items you may want
to carry include tyre chains, tow
straps or chains, flashlight, emer-
gency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves,
ground cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.Do not place objects or materials
in the engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the
engine compartment may cause an
engine failure or combustion,
because they may block the engine
cooling. Such damage will not be
covered by the manufacturer's war-
ranty.
