N Power Shift (for DCT)
OCN7N061255NOCN7N061255N
When the driver depresses the
accelerator pedal fully (100%) in N mode
for faster acceleration, it controls by (up-
) shifting with minimal energy loss.
N Power Shift can be deactivated by
pressing 'Activate' on the screen. When
N Power Shift is deactivated, vehicle
shifting is similar to normal shifting.
However, it is activated when the engine
is restarted.

Driving Your Vehicle6-62
Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the below
suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and keep a longer braking distance.
• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
• When your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, or sand, use second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary wheel spin.
• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow,
or mud.
WARNING
Downshifting with an intelligent
variable transmission while driving on
slippery surfaces can cause an accident.
The sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and excessive
wheel spin occurs, the temperature
of the tires can increase very quickly.
If the tires become damaged, a tire
blow out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous - you and
others may be injured. Do not attempt
this procedure if people or objects are
anywhere near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle can overheat quickly, possibly
causing an engine compartment fire
or other damage. Try to avoid spinning
the wheels as much as possible to
prevent overheating of either the tires
or the engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle
to spin the wheels above 35 mph (56
km/h).
Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage to
the transmission, and tire damage. See
"Towing" in chapter 8.

TOWING
Towing Service
OCN7N081095LOCN7N081095LIf emergency towing is necessary, have it
done by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dollies or
flatbed is recommended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with
the rear wheels on the ground (without
dollies) and the front wheels off the
ground.
If any of the loaded wheels or suspension
components are damaged or the vehicle
is being towed with the front wheels on
the ground, use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial tow
truck and wheel dollies are not used,
the front of the vehicle should always be
lifted, not the rear.
CAUTION
• Do not tow the vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground as this may
cause damage to the vehicle.
OCN7N081097LOCN7N081097L
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use a wheel lift or
flatbed equipment.
OCN7N081096LOCN7N081096L
• Do not tow the vehicle with four
wheels in contact with the ground if
it is the vehicle equipped with dual
clutch transmission.
Otherwise, the transmission will be
seriously damaged. Also, make sure
not to tow the vehicle connecting it
with other vehicles including camper
vans.

WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a
rollover sensor, set the Engine Start/
Stop button in the OFF or ACC position
when the vehicle is being towed.
The side impact and curtain air bag
may deploy if the sensor detects the
situation as a rollover.
OCN7N081098LOCN7N081098L
When towing your vehicle in an
emergency without wheel dollies:
1. Set the Engine Start/Stop button in the ACC position.
2. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).
3. Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Failure to place the shift lever in N
(Neutral) when being towed with the
front wheels on the ground can cause
internal damage to the transmission.
Emergency Towing
If towing is necessary, have it done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow truck service.
Removable Towing Hook
OCN7N081006NOCN7N081006N
1. Open the trunk, and remove the towing hook from the tool case.
OCN7N081007NOCN7N081007N
2. Remove the hole cover by pressing the lower part of the cover on the
bumper.
3. Install the towing hook by turning it clockwise into the hole until it is fully
secured.
4. Remove the towing hook and install the cover after use.

• Use a towing cable or chain less than 5 m (16 feet) long. Attach a white or
red cloth (about 30 cm (12 inches)
wide) in the middle of the cable or
chain for easy visibility.
• Drive carefully so the towing cable or chain remains tight during towing.
• Before towing, check the Dual clutch transmission for fluid leaks under
your vehicle. If the Dual clutch
transmission fluid is leaking, flatbed
equipment or a towing dolly must be
used.
NOTICE
Accelerate or decelerate the vehicle
in a slow and gradual manner while
maintaining tension on the tow rope
or chain to start or drive the vehicle,
otherwise tow hooks and the vehicle
may be damaged.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to your vehicle and
vehicle components when towing:
• Always pull straight ahead when
using the towing hooks. Do not pull
from the side or at a vertical angle.
• Do not use the towing hooks to pull
a vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
• Limit the vehicle speed to 10mph
(15km/h) and drive less than 1 mile
(1.5 km) when towing to avoid serious
damage to Manual transmission /
Dual clutch transmission.

• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling on smooth, level road.
• When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transmission occurs,
check the transmission fluid level.
• Check the dual clutch transmission P (Park) function.
