If you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
• Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. When the
vehicle has slowed to such a speed
that it is safe to do so, brake carefully
and pull off the road. Drive off the
road as far as possible and park on
firm, level ground. If you are on a
divided highway, do not park in the
median area between the two traffic
lanes.
• When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
move the shift lever into N (Neutral,
for Automated manual transmission)
or neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle), apply the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch in the LOCK/
OFF position.
• Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the
side of the vehicle that is away from
traffic.
• When changing a flat tire, follow the
instructions provided later in this
chapter.
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT
START
If the engine doesn’t turn over
or turns over slowly
• Be sure the for Automated manual
transmission or N (Neutral) if it is a
vehicle. The engine starts only when
the shift lever is in N (Neutral).
• Check the battery connections to be
sure they are clean and tight.
• Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start
it. This could cause damage to your
vehicle.
See instructions for “Jump Starting”
provided in this chapter.
WARNING
Push or pull starting the vehicle may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload which can lead to damage to
the emission control system.
If the engine turns over normally
but doesn’t start
• Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the engine still does not start, we
recommend that you call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

Emergency situations
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Follow the jump starting
procedure in this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehicle. If in
doubt about how to properly jump start
your vehicle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service technician or
towing service do it for you.
WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
to you or bystanders, always follow
these precautions when working near
or handling the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection designed
to protect the eyes from acid
splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Hydrogen is always present in
battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of
children.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is highly corrosive. Do
not allow acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.If acid gets into your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate medical
attention. If acid gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the area. If you
feel pain or a burning sensation, get
medical attention immediately.
• When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak. Lift with a
battery carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
• Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle if your battery is frozen.
• NEVER attempt to recharge the
battery when the vehicle’s battery
cables are connected to the battery.
• The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage. NEVER touch these
components with the engine running
or when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
• Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper
cables to touch. It may cause sparks.
• The battery may rupture or explode
when you jump start with a low or
frozen battery.
• Never attempt jump start if you
observe cracks, leaks or other
damage on Battery.

Emergency situations
Tire pressure monitoring system
WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tire
failure that may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is
not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for
a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
i Information
If the TPMS indicator does not illuminate
for 3 seconds when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position or engine
is running, or if it comes on after
blinking for approximately one minute,
we recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Changing tires
WARNING
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack
causing serious injury or death to you
or those nearby. Take the following
safety precautions:
• Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
• NEVER attempt to change a tire in
the lane of traffic. ALWAYS move the
vehicle completely off the road on
level, firm ground away from traffic
before trying to change a tire. If you
cannot find a level, firm place off
the road, call a towing service for
assistance.
• Be sure to use the jack provided with
the vehicle.

If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial tow
truck service.
If towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
at the front (or rear) of the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle with a cable or chain. A driver
must be in the vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a short
distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be in good
condition.
CAUTION
The driver must be in the vehicle for
steering and braking operations when
the vehicle is being towed. Passengers
other than the driver must not be in the
vehicle.
Always follow these emergency towing
precautions:
• Place the ignition switch in the ACC
position so the steering wheel is not
locked.
• Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
• Release the parking brake.
• Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will have
reduced braking performance.
• More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
• Use a vehicle heavier than your own to
tow your vehicle.
• The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other
frequently.
• Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.
• Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.
• Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and
even force.

NOTICE
• Do not put heavy objects or apply
excessive force on top of the engine
cover (if equipped) or fuel related
parts.
• When you inspect the fuel system
(fuel lines and fuel injection devices),
we recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Do not drive long time with the
engine cover (if equipped) removed.
• When checking the engine room, do
not go near fire. Fuel, washer fluid,
etc. are flammable oils that may
cause fire.
• Before touching the battery, ignition
cables and electrical wiring, you
should disconnect the battery “-”
terminal. You may get an electric
shock from the electric current.
• When you remove the interior trim
cover with a flat head (-) driver, be
careful not to damage the cover.
• Be careful when you replace and
clean bulbs to avoid burns or
electrical shock.

Maintenance
Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be
changed at the intervals specified in
the maintenance schedule. If the car
is being driven in severe conditions,
more frequent oil and filter changes are
required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence
of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked
periodically for proper tension and
adjusted as necessary.
NOTICE
When you are inspecting the belt, place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF or
ACC position.
Fuel filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed
at which the vehicle may be driven,
damage the emission system and cause
multiple issues such as hard starting.
If an excessive amount of foreign
matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the
filter may require replacement more
frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and check
for leaks at the connections.
We recommend that the fuel filter be
replaced by an authoized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
We recommend that the fuel lines, fuel
hoses and connections be replaced by
an authoized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Diesel Engine
Never manipulate or modify the
injection system while running the
diesel engine or within 30 seconds
after turning OFF the diesel engine. The
high-pressure pump, high-pressure
pipes, rail, and injectors are still subject
to high pressure immediately after
stopping the diesel engine.
When the fuel leakage vents out, it
may cause serious body injury. Any
people, who are implanted with the
artificial cardiac pacemaker, should
remain away from the ECU or the
wiring harness by at least 30 cm,
while running the diesel engine. The
high currents of the electronic engine
control system produce a considerable
amount of magnetic fields.
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should
be inspected at those intervals specified
in the maintenance schedule. Make sure
that a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is
correctly replaced.
