VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION 
AND EVENT DATA 
RECORDERS
This vehicle is equipped with an event 
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose 
of an EDR is to record, in certain crash 
or near crash-like situations, such as 
an air bag deployment or hitting a 
road obstacle, data that will assist in 
understanding how a vehicle’s systems 
performed. The EDR is designed to 
record data related to vehicle dynamics 
and safety systems for a short period of 
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The 
EDR in this vehicle is designed to record 
such data as:
•	How various systems in your vehicle 
were operating;
•	 Whether or not the driver and 
passenger safety belts were buckled/
fastened;
•	 How far (if at all) the driver was 
depressing the accelerator and/or 
brake pedal; and,
•	 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better 
understanding of the circumstances in 
which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: 
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle 
only if a non-trivial crash situation 
occurs; no data are recorded by the 
EDR under normal driving conditions 
and no personal data (e.g., name, 
gender, age, and crash location) are 
recorded. However, other parties, such 
as law enforcement, could combine the 
EDR data with the type of personally 
identifying data routinely acquired 
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, 
special equipment is required, and 
access to the vehicle or the EDR is 
needed. In addition to the vehicle 
manufacturer, other parties, such as 
law enforcement, that have the special 
equipment, can read the information if 
they have access to the vehicle or the 
EDR.

NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and 
amount of oil and refrigerant is used. 
Otherwise, damage to the compressor 
and abnormal system operation may 
occur.
 WARNING
Because the refrigerant is mildly inflammable at 
very high pressure, the air 
conditioning system should 
only be serviced by trained 
and certified technicians. It 
is important that the correct 
type and amount of oil and 
refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to the 
vehicle and personal injury.
The air conditioning system should be 
serviced by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.

Checking the amount of air 
conditioner refrigerant and 
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low, 
the performance of the air conditioning 
is reduced. Overfilling also reduces the 
performance of the air conditioning 
system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is 
found, have the system inspected by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified. 
Under-inflation may overheat or damage 
the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires, 
which may reduce traction or adversely 
affect vehicle handling. This could lead 
to sudden tire failure that may cause 
loss of vehicle control resulting in an 
accident.
 Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the 
maximum inflation pressure, as specified 
on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the highway 
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.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
Your multi-purpose passenger vehicle is 
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). 
SUV's have higher ground clearance 
and a narrower track to make them 
capable of performing in a wide variety 
of off-road applications. The specific 
design characteristics give them a higher 
center of gravity than ordinary vehicles 
making them more likely to roll over if 
you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles 
have a significantly higher rollover rate 
than other types of vehicles. Due to this 
risk, driver and passengers are strongly 
recommended to buckle their seat belts. 
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person 
is significantly more likely to die than a 
person wearing a seat belt.
There are steps that a driver can make 
to reduce the risk of a rollover. If at all 
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt 
maneuvers, do not load your vehicle 
with heavy cargo on the roof, and never 
modify your vehicle in any way.
 WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly 
higher rollover rate than other types of 
vehicles. To prevent rollovers or loss of 
control:
•	Take corners at slower speeds than 
you would with a passenger vehicle.
•	 Avoid sharp turns and abrupt 
maneuvers.
•	 Do not modify your vehicle in any 
way that you would raise the center 
of gravity.
•	 Keep tires properly inflated.
•	 Do not carry heavy cargo on the roof.

Change to "winter weight" oil if 
necessary
In some climates it is recommended that 
a lower viscosity "winter weight" oil be 
used during cold weather. See chapter 8 
for recommendations. If you aren't sure 
what weight oil you should use, consult 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on the 
battery system. Visually inspect the 
battery and cables as described in 
chapter 8. The level of charge in your 
battery can be checked by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer or a service station.
Check spark plugs and ignition 
system
Inspect your spark plugs as described in 
chapter 8 and replace them if necessary. 
Also check all ignition wiring and 
components to be sure they are not 
cracked, worn or damaged in any way.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze in system
To keep the water in the window washer 
system from freezing, add an approved 
window washer anti-freeze solution in 
accordance with instructions on the 
container. Window washer anti-freeze is 
available from an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer and most auto parts outlets. Do 
not use engine coolant or other types 
of antifreeze as these may damage the 
paint finish.
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. If there is a risk 
the parking brake may freeze, apply 
it only temporarily while you put the 
gear selector lever in P and block the 
rear wheels so the car cannot roll. Then 
release the parking brake.
Do not let ice and snow accumulate 
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice 
can build up under the fenders and 
interfere with the steering. When driving 
in severe winter conditions where this 
may happen, you should periodically 
check underneath the car to be sure the 
movement of the front wheels and the 
steering components is not obstructed.
Don't place foreign objects 
or materials in the engine 
compartment
Placement of foreign object or materials 
which prevent cooling of the engine, in 
the engine compartment, may cause a 
failure or combustion. The manufacturer 
is not responsible for the damage caused 
by such placement.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt 
an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine 
into the key opening. If a lock is covered 
with ice, squirt it with an approved de-
icing fluid to remove the ice. If the lock 
is frozen internally, you may be able to 
thaw it out by using a heated key. Handle 
the heated key with care to avoid injury.

A vehicle’s electrical system is protected 
from electrical overload damage by 
fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one 
located in the driver’s side panel bolster, 
the other in the engine compartment 
near the battery.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, 
accessories, or controls do not work, 
check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a 
fuse has blown, the element inside the 
fuse will be melted or broken.
If the electrical system does not work, 
first check the driver’s side fuse panel. 
Before replacing a blown fuse, turn the 
engine and all switches off, and then 
disconnect the negative battery cable. 
Always replace a blown fuse with one of 
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this 
indicates an electrical problem. 
Avoid using the system involved and 
immediately consult an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
 WARNING
NEVER replace a fuse with anything but 
another fuse of the same rating.
•	A higher capacity fuse could cause 
damage and possibly cause a fire.
•	 Do not install a wire or aluminum 
foil instead of the proper fuse - 
even as a temporary repair. It may 
cause extensive wiring damage and 
possibly a fire.
NOTICE
Do not use a screwdriver or any other 
metal object to remove fuses because 
it may cause a short circuit and damage 
the system.
