Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking system. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure is required to
stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working.
If the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional engine
braking and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
WARNING
Parking Brake & Brake Fluid warning
light
Driving the vehicle with a warning light
ON is dangerous. If the Parking Brake
& Brake Fluid warning light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates that the brake fluid level is
low.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the

t illuminates
for about 3 seconds and then goes
off.
• Whenever there is a malfunction with
the ABS.
Note that the hydraulic braking
system will still be operational even if
there is a malfunction with the ABS.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD) system
warning light
When the ABS warning and
Parking Brake warning lights are on
simultaneously, it may indicate a
problem with the Electronic Brake Force
Distribution system.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning light
When both ABS and Parking Brake &
Brake Fluid warning lights are on, the
brake system will not work normally
and you may experience an unexpected
and dangerous situation during sudden
braking.
If this occurs, avoid high speed driving
and abrupt braking.
We recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

(EBD) system warning light
When the ABS warning light is on
or both ABS and Parking Brake &
Brake Fluid warning lights are on, the
speedometer, odometer, or tripmeter
may not work. Also, the EPS warning
light may illuminate and the steering
effort may increase or decrease.
If this occurs, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.

warning light
This warning light illuminates:
• When you set the ignition switch or
the Engine Start/Stop button to the
ON position.
- The electric pow

er steering warning
light illuminates for about 3 seconds

efully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2.
Turn the engine o

ff and check the
alternator drive belt for looseness or
breakage.

Headlamp delay function
(if equipped)
If you place the ignition switch to the
ACC position or the OFF position with
the headlamps ON, the headlamps (and/
or position lamps) remain on for about
5 minutes. However, if the driver’s door
is opened and closed, the headlamps
are turned off after 15 seconds. Also,
with the vehicle off if the driver’s door is
opened and closed, the headlamps (and/
or position lamps) are turned off after 15
seconds.
The headlamps (and/or position lamps)
can be turned off by pressing the lock
button on the remote key or smart key
twice or turning the headlamp switch to
the OFF or AUTO position.
You can enable the headlamp delay

NOTICE
If the driver exits the vehicle through
another door besides the driver
door, the battery saver function
does not operate and the headlamp
delay function does not turn OFF
automatically.
This may cause the battery to
discharge. To avoid battery discharge,
turn OFF the headlamps manually from
the headlamp switch before exiting the
vehicle.
Traffic change (if equipped)
The low beam light distribution is
asymmetric. If you go abroad to a
country with opposite traffic direction,
this asymmetric part will dazzle
oncoming car driver.
To prevent dazzle, ECE regulation
demand several technical solutions (ex.
automatic change system, adhesive
sheet, down aiming). These headlamps
are designed not to dazzle opposite
drivers.
You can activate or deactivate the Traffic

ExTERIOR FEATURES
Roof side rails
OTM050017
If your vehicle comes with roof side rails,
then roof side rails crossbars can be
installed on top of your vehicle.
The roof side rails crossbars are an
accessory and are available at your
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof side rails in such a way
that it could interfere with sunroof
operation.
NOTICE
• When carrying cargo on the roof side
rails, take the necessary precautions
to make sure the cargo does not
damage the roof of the vehicle.
• When carrying large objects on the
roof side rails, make sure they do
not exceed the overall roof length or
width.
WARNING
• The following specification is the
maximum weight that can be loaded
onto the roof side rails. Distribute the
load as evenly as possible onto the
roof side rails and secure the load
firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in excess
of the specified weight limit on the
roof side rails may damage your
vehicle.
ROOF SIDE
RAILS 220 lbs. (100 kg)
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
• The vehicle center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded onto
the roof side rails. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers or high speeds that may
result in loss of vehicle control or
rollover resulting in an accident.
• Always drive slowly and turn corners
carefully when carrying items on the
roof side rails. Severe wind updrafts,
caused by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden upward
pressure on items loaded on the
roof side rails. This is especially true
when carrying large, flat items such
as wood panels or mattresses. This
could cause the items to fall off the
roof side rails and cause damage to
your vehicle or others around you.
• To prevent damage or loss of cargo
while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make sure
the items on the roof side rails are
securely fastened.

Driving your vehicle
6-4
Before entering the vehicle
• Be sure all windows, outside mirror(s),
and outside lights are clean and
unobstructed.
• Remove frost, snow, or ice.
• Visually check the tires for uneven
wear and damage.
• Check under the vehicle for any sign
of leaks.
• Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.
Before starting
• Make sure the hood, the liftgate, and
the doors are securely closed and
locked.
• Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.
• Adjust the inside and side view
mirrors.
• Verify all the lights work.
• Fasten your seat belt. Check that all
passengers have fastened their seat
belts.
• Check the gauges and indicators
in the instrument panel and the
messages on the instrument display
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
• Check that any items you are carrying
are stored properly or fastened down
securely.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All
passengers must be properly belted
whenever the vehicle is moving.
For more information, refer to “Seat
Belts” section in chapter 3.
• Always drive defensively. Assume
other drivers or pedestrians may be
careless and make mistakes.
• Stay focused on the task of driving.
Driver distraction can cause
accidents.
• Leave plenty of space between you
and the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driving
is dangerous and may result in an
accident and SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Just
one drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions and
emergencies and your reaction time
gets worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence
of drugs is as dangerous or more
dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive. If you are drinking or
taking drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride
with a driver who has been drinking
or taking drugs. Choose a designated
driver or call a taxi.
