SRS warning light
The SRS air bag warning light on the
instrument panel will illuminate for
about 6 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position,
after which the air bag warning light
should go out.During a frontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle’s deceleration. If
the rate of deceleration is high
enough, the control unit will inflate
the front air bags, at the time and
with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the
driver and front passenger by
responding to frontal impacts in
which seat belts alone cannot pro-
vide adequate restraint. When need-
ed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side
impact.
Air bags are activated (able to
inflate if necessary) only when the
ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
Air bags inflate in the event of cer-
tain frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.
There is no single speed at which
the air bags will inflate. Generally,
air bags are designed to inflate
based upon the severity of a colli-
sion and its direction. These two
factors determine whether the sen-
sors produce an electronic deploy-
ment/inflation signal. The light stays on after illumi-
nating for approximately six
seconds.
The light comes on whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
The light blinks when the
engine is running.
We recommend that an autho-
rised HYUNDAI dealer inspect
the SRS as soon as possible if
any of these conditions occur.
If your SRS malfunctions, the
air bag may not inflate properly
during an accident increasing
the risk of serious injury or
death.
If any of the following condi-
tions occur, your SRS is mal-
functioning:
The light does not turn on for
approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
WARNING

5-72
Driving your vehicle
Always hold the steering wheel
firmly when you are driving off-
road.
Emergency precautions
Tyres
Do not use tyre and wheel with dif-
ferent size and type from the one
originally installed on your vehicle. It
can affect the safety and perform-
ance of your vehicle, which could
lead to steering failure or rollover
causing serious injury.
When replacing the tyres, be sure to
equip all four tyres with tyres and
wheels of the same size, type, tread,
brand and load-carrying capacity. If
you equip your vehicle with any
tyre/wheel combination not recom-
mended by HYUNDAI for off-road
driving, you should not use these
tyres for highway driving.
Towing
4WD vehicles must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equip-
ment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more details, refer to
"Towing" in chapter 6.
Dynamometer testing
A full-time 4WD vehicle must be test-
ed on a special four wheel chassis
dynamometer.
OTLE055003
Do not grab the inside of the
steering wheel when you are
driving off-road. You may hurt
your arm by a sudden steering
manoeuvre or from steering
wheel rebound due to an impact
with objects on the ground. You
could lose control of the steer-
ing wheel which may lead to
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Never start or run the engine
whilst a full-time 4WD vehicle is
raised on a jack. The vehicle can
slip or roll off a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or
those nearby.

When the clutch is overheated,
the safe protection mode
engages. If the safe protection
mode engages, the gear posi-
tion indicator on the cluster
blinks with a chime sound.
At this time, a warning message
will appear on the LCD display
and driving may not be smooth.
If you ignore this warning, the
driving condition may become
worse.
To return to normal driving con-
dition, stop the vehicle on a flat
road and apply the foot brake for
a few minutes before driving off.Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer
attached to your vehicle, you should
not park your vehicle on a hill.
However, if you ever have to park
your trailer on a hill, here's how to do
it:
1. Pull the vehicle into the parking
space.
Turn the steering wheel in the
direction of the kerb (left if headed
down hill, right if headed up hill).
2. Shift the vehicle to P (Park, for
automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission vehicle) or
neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle).
3. Set the parking brake and shut off
the vehicle.
4. Place wheel chocks under the
trailer wheels on the down hill side
of the wheels.
5. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes,
shift to neutral, release the park-
ing brake and slowly release the
brakes until the trailer chocks
absorb the load.6. Reapply the brakes and parking
brakes.
7. Move the shift lever to P (Park, for
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or 1
stgear
when the vehicle is parked on a
uphill grade and in R (Reverse) on
a downhill (for manual transmis-
sion vehicle).
8. Shut off the vehicle and release
the vehicle brakes but leave the
parking brake set.
To prevent serious or fatal
injury:
Do not get out of the vehicle
without the parking brake
firmly set. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle
can move suddenly. You and
others could be seriously or
fatally injured.
Do not apply the accelerator
pedal to hold the vehicle on
an uphill.
WARNING

6-12
If any of the below happens, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer:
1. The low tyre pressure telltale/
TPMS malfunction indicator
does not illuminate for 3 sec-
onds when the Engine
Start/Stop button is turned to
the ON 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.
Low tyre pressure
telltale
Low tyre pressure position
telltale and tyre pressure tell-
tale
When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are illumi-
nated and the 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 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 continu-
ously illuminated because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel.

If it is hard to loosen the tyre hold-
down wing bolt by hand, you can
loosen it easily using the jack handle.
1. Put the jack handle (1) inside of
the tyre hold-down wing bolt.
2. Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt
anticlockwise with the jack handle.
Changing tyres
Never attempt vehicle repairs
in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.
Always move the vehicle com-
pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tyre. The jack should
be used on firm level ground.
If you cannot find a firm level
place off the road, call a tow-
ing service company for
assistance.
Be sure to use the correct
front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never
use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jacking
support.
The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack causing serious
injury or death.
WARNING
Do not get under a vehicle
that is supported by a jack.
No person should place any
portion of their body under a
vehicle that is supported by a
jack.
Chock the wheel diagonally
opposite the flat tyre.
Do not start or run the engine
whilst the vehicle is on the
jack.
Do not allow anyone to remain
in the vehicle whilst it is on
the jack.
Make sure any children pres-
ent are in a secure place away
from the road and from the
vehicle to be raised with the
jack.

Maintenance
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
Check the windscreen washer fluid
level.
Check for low or under-inflated
tyres.
Whilst operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound of
the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead posi-
tion.
Notice if your vehicle constantly
turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when travelling on a smooth, level
road.
When stopping, listen and check
for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or a “hard-to-push” brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
Check the automatic transmis-
sion/dual clutch transmission
P (Park) function.
Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal). Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in
coolant being blown out of the
opening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.
WARNING
Diesel Engine
Never manipulate or modify the
injection system whilst running
the diesel engine or within 30
seconds after turning OFF the
diesel engine. The high-pres-
sure pump, high-pressure
pipes, rail, and injectors are still
subject to the high pressure
right after stopping the diesel
engine. When the fuel leakage
vents out, it may cause serious
body injury. Any people, who
are implemented with the artifi-
cial cardiac pacemaker, should
remain away from the ECU or
the wiring harness by at least 30
cm, whilst running the diesel
engine. The high currents of the
electric engine control system
produce a considerable amount
of magnetic fields.
