using Remote Smart Parking Assist:
• The driver is responsible for safe
parking and exit when using Remote
Smart Parking Assist. Make sure
there are no pedestrians, animals
or objects around the vehicle when
using the system.
• When using Remote Smart Parking
Assist, stay out of the way in the
direction the vehicle moves for your
safety.
• Always check surroundings when
using Remote Smart Parking Assist.
You may collide with pedestrians,
animals, or objects if they are near
the sensor or are in the sensor’s blind
spot area.
• A collision may occur if a pedestrian,
animal, or object suddenly appears
while Remote Smart Parking Assist is
operating.
• Do not use Remote Smart Parking
Assist when under the influence of
alcohol.
• Do not let children or other people to
use the smart key.
• If Remote Smart Parking Assist is
used continuously for a long period,
it may adversely affect system
performance.

operate normally if the vehicle needs
wheel alignment adjustment such
as when the vehicle tilts to one side.
We recommend that the vehicle be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Noise may be heard when braking
occurs by Remote Smart Parking
Assist or when the brake pedal is
depressed by the driver.
• Remote Smart Parking Assist may
suddenly apply the brake to avoid
collision.
• Use the system only in a parking
space that is large enough for the
vehicle to move safely.
NOTICE
• If the 3rd stage warning (continuous
beep) of the Forward/Reverse
Parking Distance Warning sounds
while Remote Smart Parking
Assist is operating, it means the
obstacle detected is close to your
vehicle. At this time, Remote Smart
Parking Assist will temporarily stop
operating. Make sure there are no
pedestrians, animals, or objects
around your vehicle.
• Depending on brake operation, the
stop lights may come on while the
vehicle is moving.

If you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
• Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. When the
vehicle has slowed to such a speed
that it is safe to do so, brake carefully
and pull off the road. Drive off the
road as far as possible and park on
firm, level ground. If you are on a
divided highway, do not park in the
median area between the two traffic
lanes.
• When the vehicle is stopped, press the
hazard warning flasher button, move
the shift button into P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
• Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the
side of the vehicle that is away from
traffic.
• When changing a flat tire, follow the
instructions provided later in this
chapter.
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT
S TA RT
• Be sure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)
or P (Park). The engine starts only
when the gear is in N (Neutral) or P
(Park).
• Turn on the interior light. If the light
dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
See instructions for “Jump Starting”
provided in this chapter.
• Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the vehicle still does not start, we
recommend that you call an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.
NOTICE
Push or pull starting the vehicle may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload which can lead to damage to
the emission control system.

Jump starting procedure
Information
Your vehicle has a battery in the luggage
compartment, but when you jump start
your vehicle, use the jumper terminal in
the engine compartment.
1. Position the vehicles close enough
that the jumper cables will reach, but
do not allow the vehicles to touch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the
engine compartment at all times, even
when the vehicles are turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such as
radios, lights, air conditioning, etc.
Put the vehicles in P (Park) and set the
parking brake. Turn both vehicles OFF.
4. Open the liftgate.
OTMH080011
5. Connect the jumper cables in
the exact sequence shown in the
illustration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+) jumper
terminal of your vehicle (1).
6. Connect the other end of the jumper
cable to the red, positive (+) battery/
jumper terminal of the assisting
vehicle (2).
7. Connect the second jumper cable to
the black, negative (-) battery/ chassis
ground of the assisting vehicle (3).
8. Connect the other end of the second
jumper cable to the black, negative (-)
chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery or jumper terminals or the
correct ground. Do not lean over the
battery when making connections.

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 road and stop as soon as it
is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift button in P (Park) and
set the parking brake
3. Make sure that there is no hot
steam gushing out of the engine
compartment. When it is safe to do
so, open the engine compartment,
and check the water-pump connector.
When the water-pump connector is
disconnected, stop the engine, re-
connect the water-pump connector,
and then re-start the engine.
4. Set the temperature and the air flow
to the maximum, and turn ON the air
conditioner.
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.
5. When the Service warning light ()
illuminates on the instrument cluster,
immediately stop the engine, and
we recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. When the
engine warning light (
) illuminates,
or when the coolant or hot steams
gush out of the engine compartment,
leave the engine compartment
opened, while running the engine.
This is to ventilate the engine
compartment and to cool down the
engine.
6. Check the coolant temperature
gauge on the instrument cluster to
make sure the coolant temperature is
sufficiently cooled down. Check the
coolant level. When it is insufficient,
check its connection with the radiator,
the heater hose, and the water pump
for any leakage. When there is no
leakage, add the coolant. However,
if the problems persists, such as
the illumination of the warning
lights, leakages, or the cooling-fan
malfunction, which may overheat the
engine, immediately stop the engine,
and we recommend that the vehicle
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

8-13
You may not be able to identify a tire
with low pressure by simply looking at it.
Always use a good quality tire pressure
gauge to measure. Please note that a tire
that is hot (from being driven) will have a
higher pressure measurement than a tire
that is cold.
A cold tire means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tire is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
WARNING
• The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tire damage caused by
external factors such as nails or road
debris.
• If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off
the accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually with light force, and slowly
move to a safe position off the road.
WARNING
Tampering with, modifying, or disabling
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may interfere
with the system’s ability to warn the
driver of low tire pressure conditions
and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering
with, modifying, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the warranty for
that portion of the vehicle.
