Chain Installation
When installing tire chains, follow the 
manufacturer’s instructions and mount 
them as tightly possible. Drive slowly 
(less than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with 
chains installed. If you hear the chains 
contacting the body or chassis, stop and 
tighten them. If they still make contact, 
slow down until the noise stops. Remove 
the tire chains as soon as you begin 
driving on cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains, park the 
vehicle on level ground away from traffic. 
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning 
Flasher and place a triangular emergency 
warning device behind the vehicle (if 
available). Always place the vehicle in P 
(Park), apply the parking brake and turn 
off the engine before installing snow 
chains.
NOTICE
When using tire chains:
•	Wrong size chains or improperly 
installed chains can damage your 
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, 
body and wheels.
•	 Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.
•	 If you hear noise caused by chains 
contacting the body, retighten the 
chain to prevent contact with the 
vehicle body.
•	 To prevent body damage, retighten 
the chains after driving 0.3~0.6 miles 
(0.5~1.0 km).
•	 Do not use tire chains on vehicles 
equipped with aluminum wheels. If 
unavoidable, use a wire type chain.
•	 Use wire chains less than 0.47  in. 
(12mm) thick to prevent damage to 
the chain’s connection.
Winter precautions
Use high quality ethylene glycol coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high 
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the 
cooling system. It is the only type of 
coolant that should be used because it 
helps prevent corrosion in the cooling 
system, lubricates the water pump and 
prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or 
replenish your coolant in accordance 
with the maintenance schedule in 
chapter 9. Before winter, have your 
coolant tested to assure that its freezing 
point is sufficient for the temperatures 
anticipated during the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery 
performance. Inspect the battery and 
cables, as specified in chapter 9. The 
battery charging level can be checked 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or in a 
service station.
Change to “winter weight” oil if 
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is 
recommended to use the “winter 
weight” oil with lower viscosity In 
addition, replace the engine oil and filter 
if it is close to the next maintenance 
interval. Fresh engine oil ensures 
optimum engine operation during the 
winter months. For further information, 
refer to chapter 2. When you are not 
sure about a type of winter weight oil, 
we recommend that you consult an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.   

Driving your vehicle

NOTICE
To prevent engine and/or transmission 
overheating:
•	When towing a trailer on steep 
grades (in excess of 6%) pay close 
attention to the engine coolant 
temperature gauge to ensure the 
engine does not overheat. If the 
needle of the coolant temperature 
gauge moves towards “H” (HOT), 
pull over and stop as soon as it is 
safe to do so, and allow the engine 
to idle until it cools down. You may 
proceed once the engine has cooled 
sufficiently.
•	 If you tow a trailer with the maximum 
gross vehicle weight and maximum 
trailer weight, it can cause the 
engine or transmission to overheat. 
When driving in such conditions, 
allow the engine to idle until it cools 
down. You may proceed once the 
engine or transmission has cooled 
sufficiently.
•	 When towing a trailer, your vehicle 
speed may be much slower than the 
general flow of traffic, especially 
when climbing an uphill grade. Use 
the right hand lane when towing a 
trailer on an uphill grade. Choose 
your vehicle speed according to the 
maximum posted speed limit for 
vehicles with trailers, the steepness 
of the grade, and your trailer weight.
Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer attached 
to your vehicle, you should not park your 
vehicle on a hill.
However, if you ever have to park your 
trailer on a hill, here’s how to do it:
1.
 Pull the 
vehicle into the parking space.
Turn the steering wheel in the 
direction of the curb (right if headed 
down hill, left if headed up hill).
2.
 Shift the gear to P (P
ark).
3.
 Set the parking br
ake and shut off the 
vehicle.
4.
 Place wheel chocks under the tr
ailer 
wheels on the down hill side of the 
wheels.
5.
 Start the v
ehicle, hold the brakes, shift 
to neutral, release the parking brake 
and slowly release the brakes until the 
trailer chocks absorb the load.
6.
 Reapply the br
akes and parking 
brakes.
7.
 Shift the gear to P (P
ark) when the 
vehicle is parked on a uphill grade and 
in R (Reverse) on a downhill.
8.
 Shut off the v
ehicle and release the 
vehicle brakes but leave the parking 
brake set.
 WARNING
To prevent serious or fatal injury:
•	 Do not get out of the vehicle without 
the parking brake firmly set. If you 
have left the engine running, the 
vehicle can move suddenly. You and 
others could be seriously or fatally 
injured.
•	 Do not apply the accelerator pedal to 
hold the vehicle on an uphill.    

08
8 -7
If your temperature gauge indicates 
overheating, you experience a loss of 
power, or hear loud pinging or knocking, 
the engine may be overheating. If this 
happens, you should:
1.
 Pull off the r
oad and stop as soon as it 
is safe to do so.
2.
 Shift the gear to P (P
ark) and set the 
parking brake. If the air conditioning is 
ON, turn it OFF.
3.
 If engine coolant is running out under 
the v
ehicle or steam is coming out 
from the hood, stop the engine. Do 
not open the hood until the coolant 
has stopped running or the steaming 
has stopped. If there is no visible 
loss of engine coolant and no steam, 
leave the engine running and check 
to be sure the engine cooling fan is 
operating. If the fan is not running, 
turn the engine off.
 WARNING
While the engine is running, 
keep hands, clothing and tools 
away from the moving parts 
such as the cooling fan and 
drive belt to prevent serious 
injury. 4.
 Check for coolan
t leaking from the 
radiator, hoses or under the vehicle. (If 
the air conditioning had been in use, it 
is normal for cold water to be draining 
from it when you stop.)
5.
 If engine coolant is leaking out, s
 top 
the engine immediately and call the 
nearest authorized HYUNDAI dealer 
for assistance.
 WARNING
Never remove the engine 
coolant cap and/or water-
cooled intercooler coolant 
cap or the drain plug while the 
engine and radiator are hot.
Hot coolant and steam may blow out 
under pressure, causing serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait until the 
engine cools down. Use extreme care 
when removing the coolant cap. Wrap 
a thick towel around it, and turn it 
counterclockwise slowly to the first 
stop. Step back while the pressure is 
released from the cooling system. When 
you are sure all the pressure has been 
released, press down on the cap, using 
a thick towel, and continue turning 
counterclockwise to remove it.
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS   

Emergency situations
8-8
6. If you cannot find the cause of the 
overheating, wait until the engine 
temperature has returned to normal. 
Then, if coolant has been lost, 
carefully add coolant to the reservoir 
to bring the fluid level in the reservoir 
up to the halfway mark.
7.
 Proceed with caution, k
eeping alert 
for further signs of overheating. 
If overheating happens again, 
we recommend that you call an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for 
assistance. CAUTION
•	 Serious loss of coolant indicates a 
leak in the cooling system and we 
recommend the system be checked 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
•	 When the engine overheats from 
low engine coolant, suddenly adding 
engine coolant may cause cracks 
in the engine. To prevent damage, 
add engine coolant slowly in small 
quantities. It may require several 
refilling cycles to properly fill the 
engine cooling system. If necessary, 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer 
should be consulted to perform this 
task.

Turn the vehicle off and wait until the 
engine cools down. Use extreme care 
when removing the engine coolant 
cap and/or water-cooled intercooler 
coolant cap. Wrap a thick towel around 
it, and turn it counterclockwise slowly 
to the first stop. Step back while the 
pressure is released from the cooling 
system. When you are sure all the 
pressure has been released, press down 
on the cap, using a thick towel, and 
continue turning counterclockwise to 
remove it.
 Information
The coolant level is influenced by the 
engine temperature. Before checking or 
refilling the coolant, turn the engine off.
 WARNING
The electric motor for the cooling fan 
may continue to operate or start up 
when the engine is not running and 
can cause serious injury. Keep hands, 
clothing and tools away from the 
rotating fan blades of the cooling fan.
Always turn off the vehicle unless the 
vehicle has to be inspected with the 
engine on. Be cautious as the cooling 
fan may operate if the negative (-) 
battery terminal is not disconnected.
 WARNING
Make sure the coolant cap is properly 
closed after refilling coolant. Otherwise 
the engine could be overheated while 
driving.
