• If the vehicle in front stops suddenly,
you may have less control of the
brake system. Therefore, always keep
a safe distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
• FCA system may activate during
braking and the vehicle may stop
suddenly shifting loose objects
toward the passengers. Always keep
loose objects secured and fasten the
seat belt.
• FCA system may not activate if the
driver applies the brake pedal to
avoid collision.
• The brake control may be
insufficient, possibly causing a
collision, if a vehicle in front abruptly
stops. Always pay extreme caution.
• Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by the
activated FCA system. Pay extreme
caution.
• FCA system operates only when the
system detect vehicles, pedestrian or
cyclist in front of the vehicle.
• FCA system may not activate
according to road conditions,
inclement weather, driving
conditions or traffic conditions.
• FCA system may not work for all
vehicles, passengers or cyclists. WARNING
• FCA system does not operate when
the vehicle is in reverse.
• FCA system is not designed to detect
other objects on the road such as
animals.
• FCA system does not detect vehicles
in the opposite lane.
• FCA system does not detect cross
traffic vehicles that are approaching.
• FCA system cannot detect vehicles
that are stopped vertically to your
vehicle at a intersection or dead end
street.
• FCA system cannot detect the cross
traffic cyclist that are approaching.
In these cases, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce the
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance or to stop the vehicle.
Limitations of the System
Forward Collision avoidance assist
system is designed to monitor the
vehicle ahead or a pedestrian or cyclist
in the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent, and if
necessary, apply emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sensor
or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist
ahead. In these cases, FCA system may
not operate normally. The driver must
pay careful attention in the following
situations where FCA operation may be
limited.

Certification label
OBH059070OBH059070
The certification label is located on the
driver’s door sill at the center pillar and
shows the maximum allowable weight of
the fully loaded vehicle. This is called the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The
GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle,
all occupants, fuel and cargo.
This label also tells you the maximum
weight that can be supported by the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).
The total weight of the vehicle, including
all occupants, accessories, cargo, and
trailer tongue load must not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
To find out the actual loads on your front
and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Be sure
to spread out your load equally on both
sides of the centerline.
WARNING
Overloading
• Never exceed the GVWR for your
vehicle, the GAWR for either the front
or rear axle and vehicle capacity
weight. Exceeding these ratings
can affect your vehicle’s handling
and braking ability, and cause an
accident.
• Do not overload your vehicle.
Overloading your vehicle can cause
heat buildup in your vehicle’s tires
and possible tire failure, increased
stopping distances and poor vehicle
handling-all of which may result in a
crash.
NOTICE
Overloading your vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Do not overload your
vehicle.
WARNING
If you carry items inside your vehicle
(e.g., suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else), they are moving as fast
as the vehicle. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the
items will keep going and can cause
an injury if they strike the driver or a
passenger.
• Put items in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight
evenly.
• Do not stack items, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle above the tops of
the seats.
• Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in your vehicle.
• When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it.

If you have a tire gauge, check the tire
pressure (see “Tires and Wheels” in
chapter 2 for tire pressure instructions.).
If the pressure is lower or higher than
recommended, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and adjust it to
the recommended pressure. Always
reinstall the valve cap after checking
or adjusting tire pressure. If the cap
is not replaced, air may leak from the
tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy another
and install it as soon as possible. After
changing tires, secure the flat tire and
return the jack and tools to their proper
storage locations. If it is hard to secure
the flat tire, put the flat tire in the
luggage compartment.
NOTICE
• Check the tire pressure as soon
as possible after installing a spare
tire. Adjust it to the recommended
pressure.
• Check and tighten the wheel lug
nuts after driving over 30 miles (50
km), after the spare tire is installed.
Recheck the tire wheel lug nuts after
driving over 620 miles (1,000 km)
after the replaced tire is reinstalled.
CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on the
studs and lug nuts. Make certain during
tire changing that the same nuts that
were removed are reinstalled. If you
have to replace your lug nuts make
sure they have metric threads to avoid
damaging the studs and ensure the
wheel is properly secured to the hub.
Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
for assistance.
If any of the equipment such as the jack,
lug nuts, studs, or other equipment is
damaged or in poor condition, do not
attempt to change the tire and call for
assistance.
Use of compact spare tires (if equipped)
Compact spare tires are designed for
emer

gency use only. Drive carefully on
the compact spare tire and always follow
the safety precautions.
WARNING
To prevent compact spare tire failure
and loss of control possibly resulting in
an accident:
• Use the compact spare tire only in an
emergency.
• NEVER operate your vehicle over 50
mph (80 km/h).
• Do not exceed the vehicle’s
maximum load rating or the load
carrying capacity shown on the
sidewall of the compact spare tire.
• Do not use the compact spare tire
continuously. Repair or replace the
original tire as soon as possible to
avoid failure of the compact spare
tire.

For mixing percentage, refer to the
following table:
Ambient
Temperature Mixture Percentage
(volume)
Antifreeze Water
5°F (-15°C) 35 65

-49°F (-45°C) 60 40
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 - 31°F and
higher.
WARNING
Make sure the coolant cap is properly
closed after refilling coolant. Otherwise
the engine could be overheated while
driving.

1. Check if the coolant cap label is straight In front.
2. Make sure that the tiny protrusions inside the coolant cap is securely
interlocked.
ODN8089044ODN8089044
WARNING
Never remove the engine
coolant reservoir tank/radiator
cap or the drain plug while the
engine and radiator are hot.
Hot coolant and steam may blow out
under pressure, causing serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until the
engine cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the engine coolant
reservoir tank/radiator cap. Wrap
a thick towel around it, and turn it
counterclockwise slowly to the first
stop. Step back while 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.
