Driving through water
•	Try to avoid driving in deep standing 
water. It may stall your engine and 
clog your exhaust pipes.
•	 Do not change gear while driving in 
water.
 CAUTION
Always drive slowly in water. If you 
drive too fast, water may get into the 
engine compartment and wet the 
ignition system causing your vehicle to 
suddenly stop.
Additional driving conditions
•	Become familiar with the off-road 
conditions before driving.
•	 Always pay attention when driving off-
road and avoid dangerous areas.
•	 Drive slowly when driving in heavy 
wind.
•	 Reduce vehicle speed when 
cornering. The center of gravity 
of 4WD vehicles is higher than 
conventional 2WD vehicles, making 
them more likely to roll over when you 
rapidly turn corners.
•	 Always hold the steering wheel firmly 
when you are driving off-road.
 WARNING
Do hold the steering wheel tightly 
when you are driving off-road. You may 
hurt your arm by a sudden steering 
maneuver or from steering wheel 
rebound due to an impact with objects 
on the ground. You could lose control 
of the steering wheel which may lead to 
serious injury or death.
Emergency precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip 
all four tires with the same size, type, 
tread patterns, brand and load-carrying 
capacity.
 WARNING
Do not use tire and wheel with different 
size and type from the one originally 
installed on your vehicle. It can affect 
the safety and performance of your 
vehicle, which could lead to steering 
failure or rollover causing serious injury.
In an emergency situation, a compact 
spare tire (if equipped) or Tire Mobility 
Kit (if equipped) may be used. But, 
do not use the compact spare tire 
continuously. Repair or replace the 
original tire as soon as possible to avoid 
failure of the differential or 4WD system.
 WARNING
Never start or run the engine while 
an 4WD vehicle is raised on a jack. 
The vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack 
causing serious injury or death to you or 
those nearby.

 WARNING
Rollover
As with other Sports Utility Vehicle 
(SUV), failure to operate this vehicle 
correctly may result in loss of control, 
an accident or vehicle rollover.
•	Utility vehicles have a significantly 
higher rollover rate than other types 
of vehicles.
•	 Specific design characteristics 
(higher ground clearance, narrower 
track, etc.) give this vehicle a higher 
center of gravity than ordinary 
vehicles.
•	 A SUV is not designed for cornering 
at the same speeds as conventional 
vehicles.
•	 Avoid sharp turns or abrupt 
maneuvers.
•	 In a rollover crash, an unbelted 
person is significantly more likely to 
die than a person wearing a seat belt. 
Make sure everyone in the vehicle is 
properly buckled up.
 WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with tires 
designed to provide safe ride and 
handling capability. Do not use a size 
and type of tire and wheel that is 
different from the one that is originally 
installed on your vehicle. It can affect 
the safety and performance of your 
vehicle, which could lead to steering 
failure or rollover and serious injury. 
When replacing the tires, be sure to 
equip all four tires with the tire and 
wheel of the same size, type, tread, 
brand and load-carrying capacity. 
If you nevertheless decide to equip 
your vehicle with any tire/wheel 
combination not recommended by 
HYUNDAI for off road driving, you 
should not use these tires for highway 
driving.
 WARNING
Jacked vehicle
While a full-time 4WD vehicle is being 
raised on a jack, never start the engine 
or cause the tires to rotate.
There is a danger that rotating tires 
touching the ground could cause the 
vehicle to fall off the jack and to jump 
forward or rearward.

The label located on the driver’s door 
sill gives the original tire size, cold 
tire pressures recommended for your 
vehicle, the number of people that can 
be in your vehicle and vehicle capacity 
weight.
Vehicle capacity weight
5 persons : 903 lbs. (410 kg)
Vehicle capacity weight is the maximum 
combined weight of occupants and 
cargo. If your vehicle is equipped with a 
trailer, the combined weight includes the 
tongue load.
Seating capacity
Total : 5 persons (Front seat : 2 persons, 
Rear seat : 3 persons)
Seating capacity is the maximum 
number of occupants including a driver, 
your vehicle may carry. However, the 
seating capacity may be reduced based 
upon the weight of all of the occupants, 
and the weight of the cargo being carried 
or towed. Do not overload the vehicle as 
there is a limit to the total weight, or load 
limit including occupants and cargo, the 
vehicle can carry.
Towing capacity
With brake system (PKG OPT) : 2,000 lbs 
(907 kg)
With brake system (STD) : 2,800 lbs 
(1,270 kg) (GDI) / 3,500 lbs (1,588 kg) 
(T-GDI)
Towing capacity is the maximum trailer 
weight including its cargo weight, your 
vehicle can tow.
Cargo capacity
The cargo capacity of your vehicle will 
increase or decrease depending on the 
weight and the number of occupants 
and the tongue load, if your vehicle is 
equipped with a trailer.

Steps for determining correct load 
limit
1. Locate the statement "The combined 
weight of occupants and cargo should 
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on 
your vehicle's placard.
2.
 Det
ermine the combined weight of 
the driver and passengers that will be 
riding in your vehicle.
3.
 Subtr
act the combined weight of the 
driver and passengers from XXX kg or 
XXX lbs.
4.
 The resulting figur
e equals the 
available amount of cargo and 
luggage load capacity. For example, 
if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb 
passengers in your vehicle, the 
amount of available cargo and 
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. 
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5.
 Det
ermine the combined weight of 
luggage and cargo being loaded on 
the vehicle. That weight may not 
safely exceed the available cargo and 
luggage load capacity calculated in 
Step 4.
6.
 If your v
ehicle will be towing a 
trailer, load from your trailer will be 
transferred to your vehicle. Consult 
this manual to determine how this 
reduces the available cargo and 
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
 WARNING
Do not overload the vehicle as there 
is a limit to the total weight, or load 
limit, including occupants and cargo, 
the vehicle can carry. Overloading can 
shorten the life of the vehicle. If the 
GVWR or the GAWR is exceeded, parts 
on the vehicle can break, and it can 
change the handling of your vehicle. 
These could cause you to lose control 
and result in an accident.

Certification label
OBH059070
The certification label is located on the 
driver's door sill at the center pillar and 
shows the maximum allowable weight of 
the fully loaded vehicle. This is called the 
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The 
GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle, 
all occupants, fuel and cargo.
This label also tells you the maximum 
weight that can be supported by the 
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle 
Weight Rating (GAWR).
The total weight of the vehicle, including 
all occupants, accessories, cargo, and 
trailer tongue load must not exceed the 
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or 
the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). 
To find out the actual loads on your front 
and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh 
station and weigh your vehicle. Be sure 
to spread out your load equally on both 
sides of the centerline.
 WARNING
Overloading
•	Never exceed the GVWR for your 
vehicle, the GAWR for either the front 
or rear axle and vehicle capacity 
weight. Exceeding these ratings 
can affect your vehicle's handling 
and braking ability, and cause an 
accident.
•	 Do not overload your vehicle. 
Overloading your vehicle can cause 
heat buildup in your vehicle's tires 
and possible tire failure, increased 
stopping distances and poor vehicle 
handling-all of which may result in a 
crash.
NOTICE
Overloading your vehicle may cause 
damage. Repairs would not be covered 
by your warranty. Do not overload your 
vehicle.
 WARNING
If you carry items inside your vehicle 
(e.g., suitcases, tools, packages, or 
anything else), they are moving as fast 
as the vehicle. If you have to stop or 
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, the 
items will keep going and can cause 
an injury if they strike the driver or a 
passenger.
•	Put items in the cargo area of your 
vehicle. Try to spread the weight 
evenly.
•	 Do not stack items, like suitcases, 
inside the vehicle above the tops of 
the seats.
•	 Do not leave an unsecured child 
restraint in your vehicle.
•	 When you carry something inside the 
vehicle, secure it.

NOTICE
Check the tire pressure as soon as 
possible after installing a spare tire. 
Adjust it to the recommended pressure.
 CAUTION
Your vehicle has metric threads on the 
studs and wheel bolts. Make certain 
during tire changing that the same bolts 
that were removed are reinstalled. If 
you have to replace your wheel bolts 
make sure they have metric threads to 
avoid damaging the studs and ensure 
the wheel is properly secured to the 
hub. We recommend that you consult 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for 
assistance.
 WARNING
Wheel studs
If the studs are damaged, they may lose 
their ability to retain the wheel. This 
could lead to the loss of the wheel and a 
collision resulting in serious injuries.
If any of the equipment such as the jack, 
wheel bolts, studs, or other equipment 
is damaged or in poor condition, do not 
attempt to change the tire and call for 
assistance.
Use of compact spare tires  
(if equipped)
Compact spare tires are designed for 
emergency use only. Drive carefully on 
the compact spare tire and always follow 
the safety precautions.
 WARNING
To prevent compact spare tire failure 
and loss of control possibly resulting in 
an accident:
•	Use the compact spare tire only in an 
emergency.
•	 NEVER operate your vehicle over 50 
mph (80 km/h).
•	 Do not exceed the vehicle’s 
maximum load rating or the load 
carrying capacity shown on the 
sidewall of the compact spare tire.
•	 Do not use the compact spare tire 
continuously. Repair or replace the 
original tire as soon as possible to 
avoid failure of the compact spare 
tire.

Battery recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free, 
calcium-based battery.
•	 If the battery becomes discharged 
over a short time (because, for 
example, the headlamps or interior 
lights were left on while the vehicle 
was not in use), recharge it by slow 
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
•	 If the battery gradually discharges 
because of high electrical load while 
the vehicle is being used, recharge it 
at 20-30A for two hours.
 WARNING
Always follow these instructions when 
recharging your vehicle’s battery to 
avoid the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH from explosions or acid burns:
•	Before performing maintenance or 
recharging the battery, turn off all 
accessories and stop the engine.
•	 Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking 
materials away from the battery.
•	 Always work outdoors or in an area 
with plenty of ventilation.
•	 Wear eye protection when checking 
the battery during charging.
•	 The battery must be removed from 
the vehicle and placed in a well 
ventilated area.
•	 Watch the battery during charging, 
and stop or reduce the charging
