 The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to insure
proper and safe operation.
 The refrigerant system should
be serviced in a well-ventilated
place.
 The air conditioning evaporator
(cooling coil) shall never be
repaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or sal-
vaged vehicle and new replace-
ment MAC evaporators shall be
certified (and labelled) as meet-
ing SAE Standard J2842.
Information 
• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely whilst driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine
overheating. Continue to use the fan
but turn the air conditioning system
off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in
humid weather, air conditioning
may create water droplets inside the
vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to elec-
trical equipment, air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
Air conditioning system operation
tips
 If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
 Use air conditioning to reduce
humidity and moisture inside the
vehicle on rainy or humid days.
 During air conditioning system
operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
 Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
 When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristic.

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.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
 Only one lane marker is detected.
 The lane is very wide or narrow.
 There are more than two lane
markers on the road (e.g. construc-
tion area).
 Radius of a curve is too small.
 The vehicle is driven on a steep
incline.
 The steering wheel is turned sud-
denly.
 The system may not operate for 15
seconds after the engine is started
or the camera is initialised or
rebooting of the front view camera.
Limitations of the system
The LFA system may operate prema-
turely even if the vehicle does not
depart from the intended lane, OR,
the LFA system may not assist your
steering or warn you if the vehicle
leaves the intended lane under the
following circumstances:
When the lane and road condi-
tions are poor
 It is difficult to distinguish the lane
marking from the road surface or
the lane marking is faded or not
clearly marked.
 It is difficult to distinguish the color
of the lane marker from the road.
 There are markings on the road
surface that look like a lane marker
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera.
 The lane marker is indistinct or
damaged.
 The lane marker is merged or
divided (e.g. tollgate). The lane number increases or
decreases or the lane marker are
crossing complicatedly.
 There are more than two lane
markers on the road in front of you.
 The lane marker is very thick or
thin.
 The lane is very wide or narrow.
 The lane marker ahead is not visi-
ble due to rain, snow, water on the
road, damaged or stained road
surface, or other factors.
 The shadow is on the lane marker
by a median strip, trees, guardrail,
noise barriers, etc.
 The lane markers are complicated
or a structure substitutes for the
lines such as a construction area.
 There are crosswalk signs or other
symbols on the road.
 The lane marker in a tunnel is
stained with oil, etc.
 The lane suddenly disappears
such as at the intersection.

Driving your vehicle
 If you believe your brakes may be
wet, apply them lightly whilst driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning 
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increas-
es as the depth of tyre tread
decreases, refer to "Tyre Tread" in
chapter 7.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing slowly.
Highway driving
Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tyres.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tyres, which may reduce traction or
fail the braking operation.
Information 
Never over-inflate your tyres above
the maximum inflation pressure, as
specified on your tyres.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine
oil
Driving at higher speeds on the high-
way consumes more fuel and is less
efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
fuel when driving on the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine
coolant level and the engine oil
before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.
