Emergency situations
8-8
WARNING
Never remove the engine coolant cap and/or inverter
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 hybrid system off and wait until
the engine cools down. Use extreme
care when removing the engine coolant
cap and/or inverter 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.
7. 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.
8. Proceed with caution, keeping 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.
• When adding the inverter coolant,
we recommend that the vehicle
should only be serviced by trained
and certified technicians.
WARNING
Do not use water or methanol coolant or mix them with the
specified coolant.
An incorrect coolant
mixture can result in severe
malfunction or engine/hybrid
system damage.

3. Connect the wheel lug nut wrench (A)
to the bolt.
4. Loosen the bolt enough to lower
the spare tire. Turn the wrench
counterclockwise until the spare tire
reaches the ground.
5. After the spare tire reaches the
ground, continue to turn the wrench
counterclockwise, and draw the spare
tire outside. Never rotate the wrench
excessively, otherwise the spare tire
carrier may be damaged.

6. Draw out the retainer guide (1) the
through the center hole of spare tire.
To store the spare tire:
1. Lay the tire on the ground with the
valve stem facing up.
2. Place the wheel under the vehicle and
install the retainer guide and chain
through the wheel center.
3. Turn the wrench clockwise until it
clicks.
CAUTION
Ensure the spare tire retainer guide is
properly aligned with the center of the
spare tire to prevent the spare tire from
"rattling".
Otherwise, it may cause the spare tire
to fall off the carrier and lead to an
accident.

Emergency situations
8-16
Changing tires
WARNING
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack
causing serious injury or death to you or
those nearby. Take the following safety
precautions:
• Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
• NEVER attempt to change a tire in
the lane of traffic. ALWAYS move the
vehicle completely off the road on
level, firm ground away from traffic
before trying to change a tire. If you
cannot find a level, firm place off
the road, call a towing service for
assistance.
• Be sure to use the jack provided with
the vehicle.
• ALWAYS place the jack on the
designated jacking positions on the
vehicle and NEVER on the bumpers
or any other part of the vehicle for
jacking support.
• Do not start or run the engine while
the vehicle is on the jack.
• Do not allow anyone to remain in the
vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Keep children away from the road
and the vehicle. Follow these steps to change your
vehicle’s tire:
1. Park on a level, firm surface.
2. Move the shift button into P (Park),
apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.
3. Press the hazard warning flasher
button.
4. Remove the wheel lug nut wrench,
jack, jack handle, and spare tire from
the vehicle.
OTMH080002[A] : Block
5. Block both the front and rear of the
tire diagonally opposite of the tire you
are changing.
OTMH080003
6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts
counterclockwise one turn each in
the order shown above, but do not
remove any lug nuts until the tire has
been raised off of the ground.

8-17
OTMH0800047. Place the jack at the designated
jacking position under the frame
closest to the tire you are changing.
The jacking positions are plates
welded to the frame with two
notches. Never jack at any other
position or part of the vehicle. Doing
so may damage the side seal molding
or other parts of the vehicle.
OTMH080005
8. Insert the jack handle into the jack
and turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tire clears the ground.
Make sure the vehicle is stable on the
jack.
9. Loosen the lug nuts with the wheel
lug nut wrench and remove them
with your fingers. Slide the wheel off
the studs and lay it flat so it cannot
roll away. To put the wheel on the
hub, pick up the spare tire, line up
the holes with the studs and slide the
wheel onto them. If this is difficult,
tip the wheel slightly and get the top
hole in the wheel lined up with the top
stud. Then jiggle the wheel back and
forth until the wheel can be slid over
the other studs.
WARNING
Wheels may have sharp edges. Handle
them carefully to avoid possible severe
injury. Before putting the wheel into
place, be sure that there is nothing on
the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,
gravel, etc.) that interferes with the
wheel from fitting solidly against the
hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not
good contact on the mounting surface
between the wheel and hub, the wheel
nuts could come loose and cause the
loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may
result in loss of control of the vehicle.
This may cause serious injury or death.
10. To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the
studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs
and tighten them finger tight. The
nuts should be installed with their
tapered small diameter ends directed
inward. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is
completely seated, then tighten the
nuts as much as possible with your
fingers again.
11. Lower the vehicle to the ground
by turning the wheel lug wrench
counterclockwise.

Maintenance
9-18
Turn the vehicle off and wait until the
engine cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the engine coolant
cap and/or inverter 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 engine coolant and/or inverter coolant
level is influenced by the hybrid system
temperature. Before checking or refilling
the engine coolant and/or inverter coolant,
turn the hybrid vehicle 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.
