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 trunk, 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 seatbelt. Check that
all passengers have fastened their
seatbelts.

[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" 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 alcohol or take drugs and
drive.
Drinking alcohol 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.

Auto shut-off system (if equipped)
To prevent accidents caused by carbon
dioxide poisoning, the engine is turned
off automatically 60 minutes later when
the following conditions are satisfied.
The timer appears on the instrument
cluster 30 minutes before it turns off
automatically.
Operating conditions

[The driver does not fasten a seat belt

[No one in the passenger's seat

[Stop the vehicle and the speed is
under 1.86mph and the gear shift is
in P

[While the brake or accelerator is not
working

[When AVN update is performing
Cluster timer reset conditions

[Release the accelerator or brake after
completing operation

[Press the OK button on the steering
wheel while the timer appears on the
instrument cluster
Off conditions

[The driver fastened the seat belt

[A passenger is in the pasenger's seat

Good driving practices

[Never take the vehicle out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
dangerous.

[Don't "ride" the brakes. This can
cause the brakes and related parts to
overheat and malfunction.

[When you are driving down a long hill,
slow down and shift to a lower gear.
Engine braking will help slow down
the vehicle.

[Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.

[Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better
control of your vehicle.

[Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you shift into R
(Reverse) to prevent damage to the
transmission.

[Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident. WARNING
Do not use the engine brake (shifting
from a higher gear to lower gear)
rapidly on slippery roads. The vehicle
may slip causing an accident.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:

[ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a
collision, an unbelted occupant
is significantly more likely to be
seriously injured or killed than a
properly belted occupant.

[Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.

[Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.

[The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.

[Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter
the roadway.

[In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.

[HYUNDAI recommends you follow all
posted speed limits.

Good driving practices

[Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.

[Never move the shift lever into P
(Park) when the vehicle is in motion.

[Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).

[Do not move the shift lever to N
(Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transmission could be damaged.

[When driving uphill or downhill,
always shift to D (Drive) for driving
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for
driving backwards, and check the
gear position indicated on the cluster
before driving. Driving in the opposite
direction of the selected gear, can
lead to a dangerous situation by
shutting off the engine and affecting
the braking performance.

[Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can result
in the brakes overheating, brake wear
and possibly even brake failure.

[Do not hold the vehicle on an incline
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transmission to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or parking
brake.

[Always apply the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the transmission in P (Park) to
keep the vehicle from moving.
[Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

[Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator.
