Checking the amount of air 
conditioner refrigerant and 
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low, 
the performance of the air conditioning 
is reduced. Overfilling also reduces the 
performance of the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is found, we 
recommend that the system be inspected by 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
It is important that the correct type and 
amount of oil and refrigerant is used. 
Otherwise, damage to the compressor 
and abnormal system operation may 
occur. To prevent damage, the air 
conditioning system in your vehicle 
should only be serviced by trained and 
certified technicians.
 WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf
Since the refrigerant is 
mildly flammable and 
operated at high pressure, 
the air conditioning system 
should only be serviced 
by trained and certified 
technicians. It is important 
that the correct type and 
amount of oil and refrigerant 
are used.
All refrigerants should be reclaimed 
with proper equipment.
Venting refrigerants directly to the 
atmosphere is harmful to individuals 
and environment. Failure to heed these 
warnings can lead to serious injuries.

Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas 
unless you are sure the water is no 
higher than the bottom of the wheel hub. 
Drive through any water slowly. Allow 
adequate stopping distance because 
brake performance may be reduced.
After driving through water, dry the 
brakes by gently applying them several 
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified. 
Under-inflation may overheat or damage 
the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires, 
which may reduce traction or fail the 
braking operation.
 Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the 
maximum inflation pressure, as specified 
on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the highway 
consumes more fuel and is less efficient 
than driving at a slower, more moderate 
speed. Maintain a moderate speed in 
order to conserve fuel when driving on 
the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine coolant 
level and the engine oil before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may 
overheat the engine.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
Your multi-purpose passenger vehicle is 
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). 
SUV’s have higher ground clearance 
and a narrower track to make them 
capable of performing in a wide variety 
of off-road applications. The specific 
design characteristics give them a higher 
center of gravity than ordinary vehicles 
making them more likely to roll over if 
you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles 
have a significantly higher rollover rate 
than other types of vehicles. Due to this 
risk, driver and passengers are strongly 
recommended to buckle their seat belts. 
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person 
is significantly more likely to die than a 
person wearing a seat belt.
There are steps that a driver can make 
to reduce the risk of a rollover. If at all 
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt 
maneuvers, do not load your vehicle 
with heavy cargo on the roof, and never 
modify your vehicle in any way.
 WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly 
higher rollover rate than other types of 
vehicles. To prevent rollovers or loss of 
control:
•	Take corners at slower speeds than 
you would with a passenger vehicle.
•	 Avoid sharp turns and abrupt 
maneuvers.
•	 Do not modify your vehicle in any 
way that you would raise the center 
of gravity.
•	 Keep tires properly inflated.
•	 Do not carry heavy cargo on the roof.
 WARNING
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person 
is significantly more likely to die than a 
person wearing a seat belt. Make sure 
all passengers are wearing their seat 
belts.

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.

If you are considering to tow with 
your vehicle, you should first know 
your country’s legal requirements. As 
laws vary the requirements for towing 
trailers, cars, or other types of vehicles 
or apparatus may differ. When you are 
not sure about a type of winter weight 
oil, we recommend that you consult an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Remember that trailering is different 
than just driving your vehicle by 
itself. Trailering means changes in 
handling, durability, and fuel economy. 
Successful, safe trailering requires 
correct equipment, and it has to be used 
properly. Damage to your vehicle caused 
by improper trailer towing is not covered 
by your vehicle manufacturer’s warranty.
This section contains time-tested, 
important trailering tips and safety 
rules. Many of these are important for 
your safety and that of your passengers. 
Please read this section carefully before 
you pull a trailer. WARNING
Take the following precautions:
•	If you don’t use the correct 
equipment and/or drive improperly, 
you can lose control of the vehicle 
when you are pulling a trailer. For 
example, if the trailer is too heavy, 
the braking performance may be 
reduced. You and your passengers 
could be seriously or fatally injured. 
Pull a trailer only if you have followed 
all the steps in this section.
•	 Before towing, make sure the 
total trailer weight, GCW (Gross 
Combination Weight), GVW (Gross 
Vehicle Weight), GAW (Gross Axle 
Weight) and trailer tongue load are 
all within the limits.
•	 When you tow a trailer, make sure to 
turn off the Idle Stop and Go system.

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 
rate if the battery cells begin boiling 
violently.

A vehicle’s electrical system is protected 
from electrical overload damage by 
fuses.
This vehicle has 5 fuse panels, one 
located in the driver’s side panel bolster, 
the other in the engine compartment.
If any of your vehicle’s lights, 
accessories, or controls do not work, 
check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a 
fuse has blown, the element inside the 
fuse will be melted or broken.
If the electrical system does not work, 
first check the driver’s side fuse panel. 
Before replacing a blown fuse, turn the 
engine and all switches off, and then 
disconnect the negative battery cable. 
Always replace a blown fuse with one of 
the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this 
indicates an electrical problem. 
Avoid using the system involved. We 
recommend that you immediately 
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
 WARNING
NEVER replace a fuse with anything but 
another fuse of the same rating.
•	A higher capacity fuse could cause 
damage and possibly cause a fire.
•	 Do not install a wire or aluminum 
foil instead of the proper fuse - 
even as a temporary repair. It may 
cause extensive wiring damage and 
possibly a fire.
NOTICE
Do not use a screwdriver or any other 
metal object to remove fuses because 
it may cause a short circuit and damage 
the system.
