Roof Side Rails (if equipped)
If your vehicle comes equipped with
roof side rails, then roof side rails
crossbars can be installed on top of
your vehicle.
The roof side rails crossbars are an
accessory and are available at your
local HYUNDAI dealer.
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, be sure not to position
cargo onto the roof side rails in
such a way that it could interfere
with sunroof operation. When carrying cargo on the roof
side rails, take the necessary
precautions to make sure the
cargo does not damage the roof
of the vehicle.

the roof side rails, make sure
they do not exceed the overall

The following specification is
the maximum weight that can
be loaded onto the roof side
rails. Distribute the load as
evenly as possible onto the
roof side rails and secure the
load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof side rails may
damage your vehicle.
The vehicle center of gravity
will be higher when items are
loaded onto the roof side
rails. Avoid sudden starts,
braking, sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers or high speeds
that may result in loss of vehi-
cle control or rollover result-
ing in an accident.
Always drive slowly and turn
corners carefully when carry-
ing items on the roof side rails.
Severe wind updrafts, caused
by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden
upward pressure on items
loaded on the roof side rails.
This is especially true when
carrying large, flat items such
as wood panels or mattresses.
This could cause the items to
fall off the roof side rails and
cause damage to your vehicle
or others around you.
To prevent damage or loss of
cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driv-
ing to make sure the items on
the roof side rails are secure-
ly fastened.

• If the driver presses the lever to
+ (Up) or - (Down) position, the
transmission may not make the
requested gear change if the next
gear is outside of the allowable
engine rpm range. The driver must
execute upshifts in accordance with
road conditions, taking care to keep
the engine rpms below the red zone.
• When accelerating from a stop on a
slippery road, push the shift lever
forward into the + (Up) position.
This allows the transmission to shift
into the 2
ndgear which is better for
smooth driving on a slippery road.
Push the shift lever to the - (Down)
side to shift back to the 1
stgear.
• When driving in Manual Shift
Mode, slow down before shifting to
a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower
gear may not be engaged if the
engine rpms are outside of the
allowable range.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the automatic trans-
mission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmis-
sion from P (Park) into R (Reverse)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
Shift-lock release
If the shift lever cannot be moved from
the P (Park) position into R (Reverse)
position with the brake pedal
depressed, continue depressing the
brake, and then do the following:
1. Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Carefully remove the cap (1) cov-
ering the shift-lock release access
hole.
4. Insert a tool (e.g. flathead screw-
driver) into the access hole and
press down on the tool.
