Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the below
suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and keep a longer
braking distance.
• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
• When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, or sand, use second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary wheel spin.
• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other
non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow,
or mud.
WARNING
Downshifting with an intelligent
variable transmission while driving on
slippery surfaces can cause an accident.
The sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and excessive
wheel spin occurs, the temperature
of the tires can increase very quickly.
If the tires become damaged, a tire
blow out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous - you and
others may be injured. Do not attempt
this procedure if people or objects are
anywhere near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle can overheat quickly, possibly
causing an engine compartment fire
or other damage. Try to avoid spinning
the wheels as much as possible to
prevent overheating of either the tires
or the engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle
to spin the wheels above 35 mph (56
km/h).
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage to
the transmission, and tire damage. See
"Towing" in chapter 7.

vehicle speed is above 12 mph (20
km/h) and the speed of the vehicle in
the blind spot area is above 7 mph (10
km/h).
Collision warning
• Collision warning will operate when
the turn signal is turned on in the
direction of the detected vehicle.
• If
‘W

WARNING
• The detecting range of the rear
corner radar is determined by the
standard road width, therefore, on a
narrow road, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next next lane
and warn you. In contrast, on a wide
road, the system may not be able to
detect a vehicle driving in the next
lane and may not warn you.
• When the hazard warning light is
on, the collision warning by the turn
signal will not operate.
Information
If the driver's seat is on the left side, the
collision warning may occur when you
turn left. Maintain a proper distance with
the vehicles in the left lane. If the driver's
seat is on the right side, the collision
warning may occur when you turn right.
Maintain a proper distance with the
vehicles in the right lane.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Blind-Spot Safety system:
• For your safety, change the Settings
after parking the vehicle at a safe
location.
• If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or audible
warning is generated, Blind-Spot
Safety system’s warning message
may not be displayed and audible
warning may not be generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound
of Blind-Spot Safety system if the
surrounding is noisy.
• Blind-Spot Safety system may warn
the driver late or may not warn the
driver depending on the road and
driving conditions.
• Driver should maintain control
of the vehicle at all times. Do not
depend on Blind-Spot Safety system.
Maintain a safe braking distance, and
if necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce driving speed or to stop
the vehicle.
