Transmission overheated
•	When driving on muddy and sandy 
roads under the severe condition, the 
transmission could be overheated.
•	 When the transmission is overheated,  
the safe protection mode engages 
and the “Transmission Hot! Park with 
engine on: warning message will 
appear on the LCD display with a 
chime.
•	 If this occurs, pull over to a safe 
location, stop the vehicle with the 
engine running, apply the brakes and 
shift the vehicle to P (Park), and allow 
the transmission to cool.
•	 If you ignore this warning, the driving 
condition may become worse. 
You may experience abrupt shifts, 
frequent shifts, or jerkiness. To return 
to the normal driving condition, stop 
the vehicle and apply the foot brake 
or shift into P (Park). Then allow the 
transmission to cool for a few minutes 
with engine on, before driving off. •	
When the message “Trans cooled. 
Resume driving” appears you can 
continue to drive your vehicle.
•	 If the warning messages in the LCD 
display continue to blink, for your 
safety, have the system checked 
by a professional workshop. We 
recommends to visit an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
Driving up or down hills
•	 Driving uphill
 - Bef
 ore starting off, check if it is 
possible to drive uphill.
 - Drive as s
 traight as possible.
•	 Driving downhill
 - Do not change gear while driving 
do
 wnhill. Select gear before driving 
downhill.
 - Drive slo
 wly using engine braking 
while driving downhill. - Drive s traight as possible.
 WARNING
Exercise extreme caution driving up or 
down steep hills. The vehicle may flip 
over depending on the grade, terrain, 
water and mud conditions.
 WARNING
Do not drive across the contour of steep 
hills. A slight change in the wheel angle 
can destabilize the vehicle, or a stable 
vehicle may lose stability if the vehicle 
stops its forward motion. Your vehicle 
may roll over and lead to a serious injury 
or death.

The severe weather conditions of winter quickly wear out tires and cause other 
problems. To minimize winter driving problems, you should take the following 
suggestions:
Snow or icy conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of 
you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and 
sharp turns are potentially very hazardous practices. During deceleration, use engine 
braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icy roads may 
cause the vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires or to install 
tire chains on your tires.
Always carry emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include 
tire chains, tow straps or chains, a flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper 
cables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
Snow tires
 WARNING
Snow tires should be equivalent in size and type to the vehicle’s standard tires. 
Otherwise, the safety and handling of your vehicle may be adversely affected.
We recommend that you use snow tires when road temperature is below 45°F (7°C). 
Refer to the below chart, and mount the recommended snow tire for your vehicle.
If you mount snow tires on your vehicle, make sure to use the same Inflation pressure 
as the original tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels to balance your vehicle’s 
handling in all weather conditions. The traction provided by snow tires on dry roads 
may not be as high as your vehicle’s original equipment tires. Check with the tire dealer 
for maximum speed recommendations.

Check spark plugs and ignition system
Inspect the spark plugs, as specified in 
chapter 8. If necessary, replace them. 
Also check all ignition wirings and 
components for any cracks, wear-out, 
and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen, 
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin 
into key holes. When a lock opening is 
already covered with ice, spray approved 
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it. 
When an internal part of a lock freezes, 
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully 
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from 
being frozen, add authorized window 
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified 
on the window washer container. 
Window washer anti-freeze solution is 
available from an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer, and most vehicle accessory 
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or 
other types of anti-freeze solution, to 
prevent any damage to the vehicle paint.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. When there is the risk that your 
parking brake may freeze, temporarily 
apply it with the gear in P (Park). Also, 
block the rear wheels in advance, so the 
vehicle may not 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 such conditions during the severe 
winter, you should check underneath 
the vehicle on a regular basis, to ensure 
that the front wheels and the steering 
components is unblocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions, 
you should carry appropriate emergency 
equipment, while driving. Some of the 
items you may want to carry include tire 
chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight, 
emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper 
cables, window scraper, gloves, ground 
cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the 
engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the engine 
compartment may cause an engine 
failure or combustion, because they may 
block the engine cooling. Such damage 
will not be covered by the manufacturer’s 
warranty.

Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel 
with one hand. Then, to move the trailer 
to the left, move your hand to the left. To 
move the trailer to the right, move your 
hand to the right. Always back up slowly 
and, if possible, have someone guide 
you.
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make 
wider turns than normal. Do this so your 
trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, 
road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid 
jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in 
advance.
Turn signals
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has 
to have a different turn signal flasher and 
extra wiring. The green arrows on your 
instrument panel will flash whenever you 
signal a turn or lane change. Properly 
connected, the trailer lights will also flash 
to alert other drivers you’re about to turn, 
change lanes, or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows 
on your instrument panel will flash for 
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer 
are burned out. Thus, you may think 
drivers behind you are seeing your 
signals when, in fact, they are not. It’s 
important to check occasionally to be 
sure the trailer bulbs are still working. 
You must also check the lights every time 
you disconnect and then reconnect the 
wires.
 WARNING
Do not connect a trailer lighting system 
directly to your vehicle’s lighting 
system. Use an approved trailer wiring 
harness. Failure to do so could result in 
damage to the vehicle electrical system 
and/or personal injury. We recommend 
that you consult an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
Driving on hills
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear 
before you start down a long or steep 
downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you 
might have to use your brakes so much 
that they would get overheated and may 
not operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and 
reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70 
km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine 
and transmission overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the 
maximum trailer weight without trailer 
brakes and you have a automatic 
transmission, you should drive in D 
(Drive) when towing a trailer.
Operating your vehicle in D (Drive) 
when towing a trailer will minimize heat 
build-up and extend the life of your 
transmission.
