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 lever into P (Park), and apply
the parking brake, and set the Engine
Start/Stop button in the 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
START
If the Engine Doesn’t Turn Over
or Turns Over Slowly
• Be sure the shift lever is in N (Neutral) or P (Park). The engine starts only
when the shift lever is in N (Neutral) or
P (Park).
• Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
• Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it.
This could cause damage to your vehicle.
See instructions for “Jump Starting”
provided in this chapter.
CAUTION
Push or pull starting the vehicle may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload which can lead to damage to
the emission control system.
If the Engine Turns Over
Normally but Doesn’t Start
Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the engine still does not start, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

display” message will appear. After
driving, check the tire pressure.
• The displayed tire pressure values may differ from those measured with a tire
pressure gauge.
• You can change the tire pressure unit in the User Settings Mode on the
cluster.

WARNING
Expired sealant
Do not use the Tire sealant after
the sealant has expired (i.e. pasted
the expiration date on the sealant
container). This can increase the risk of
tire failure.
WARNING
Sealant
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid contact with eyes.
• Do not swallow.
Using the Tire Mobility Kit when
a Tire is Flat
CAUTION
OCN7N081004NOCN7N081004N
Detach the speed restriction label (0)
from the sealant bottle (1), and place
it in a highly visible place inside the
vehicle such as on the steering wheel to
remind the driver not to drive too fast.
CAUTION
If only the tire pressure needs to be
adjusted, refer to “How to Adjust Tire
Pressure” in this chapter.
Before using the Tire Mobility Kit, be
fully aware of the explanation on the
sealant. 1. Shake the sealant bottle.
OCN7070007OCN7070007
2. Connect the filling hose (2) to the
sealant bottle (1) in the direction of (A)
and connect the sealant bottle to the
compressor (5) in the direction of (B).
3. Ensure that the compressor is switched OFF.
4. Unscrew the valve cap from the valve of the defective wheel and screw the
filling hose (2) of the sealant bottle
onto the valve.
OCN7N081093OCN7N081093
CAUTION
Securely install the sealant filling hose
to the valve. If not, sealant may flow
backward, possibly clogging the filling
hose.

5. Plug the compressor power cord (4) into the vehicle power outlet.
NOTICE
Only use the front passenger side
power outlet when connecting the
power cord.
6. Set the Engine Start/Stop button to the ON position.
7. Switch on the compressor and let it run for approximately 5~7 minutes to
fill the sealant up to proper pressure.
(refer to the Tire and Wheels, chapter
2). The inflation pressure of the tire
after filling is unimportant and will be
checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the tire
and stay away from the tire when
filling it.
CAUTION
Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if
the tire pressure is below 29 psi (200
kPa). This could result in an accident
due to sudden tire failure. 8. Switch off the compressor.
9. Detach the hoses from the sealant
bottle connector and from the tire
valve.
Return the Tire Mobility Kit to its storage
location in the vehicle.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide
Do not leave your vehicle running in
a poorly ventilated area for extended
periods of time. Carbon monoxide
poisoning and suffocation can occur.
OLMF064106OLMF064106
10. Immediately drive approximately 4~6
miles (7~10 km or, about 10min) to
evenly distribute the sealant in the
tire.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80
km/h). If possible, do not fall below a
speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
While driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off of the
side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.

Maintenance9-16
ENGINE OIL
Checking the Engine Oil Level
Engine oil is used for lubricating,
cooling, and operating various hydraulic
components in the engine. Engine oil
consumption while driving is normal,
and it is necessary to check and refill the
engine oil regularly. Also, check and refill
the oil level within the recommended
maintenance schedule to prevent
deterioration of oil performance.
Check the engine oil following the below
procedure.
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake set. If possible, block the
wheels.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
4. Turn the engine off and wait about fifteen minutes for the oil to return to
the oil pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully.
OCN7N091040NOCN7N091040N
OCN7N091033NOCN7N091033N
6. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should be between
F and L.
7. If the oil level is below L, add enough oil to bring the level to F.
Use only the specified engine oil. (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” in chapter 2).

NOTICE
To prevent damage to your engine:
• Do not spill engine oil when adding
or changing engine oil. Use a funnel
to help prevent oil from being spilled
on engine components. Wipe off
spilled oil immediately.
• The engine oil consumption may
increase while you break in a new
vehicle and it will be stabilized after
driving 4,000 miles.
• The engine oil consumption can be
affected by driving habits, climate
conditions, traffic conditions,
oil quality, etc. Therefore, it is
recommended that you inspect the
engine oil level regularly and refill it
if necessary.
Checking the Engine Oil and
Filter
• The lubrication, rust prevention,
cooling, and cleaning effect of the
engine oil will gradually degrade
during its use. Have the engine oil
and filter changed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer according to the
Engine Oil Life Management System
Instructions or the Maintenance
Schedule at the beginning of this
chapter.
• If the maintenance schedule to replace engine oil is exceeded,
the engine oil performance may
deteriorate, and the engine condition
may be affected. Therefore, replace
the engine oil according to the
maintenance schedule.
• To keep the engine in optimal condition, use the recommended
engine oil and filter. If the
recommended engine oil and filter are
not used, replace it according to the
maintenance schedule under severe
usage conditions.
• The purpose of the maintenance schedule for engine oil replacement
is to prevent oil deterioration and it is
irrelevant to oil consumption. Check
and refill engine oil regularly.

Maintenance9-22
Changing Engine Coolant
Have coolant changed by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer according to the
Maintenance Schedule at the beginning
of this chapter.
WARNING
Do not use engine coolant or antifreeze
in the washer fluid reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the
windshield and may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Engine coolant may also cause damage
to paint and body trim.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to engine parts, put
a thick towel around the radiator cap
before refilling the coolant to prevent
the coolant from overflowing into
engine parts, such as the alternator.
