Vehicle recognition
OTM058128
Some vehicles in your lane cannot be
recognized by the sensor: - Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden- decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles (When the vehicle ahead drives away, the system may not
detect a stopped vehicle.)
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads
A vehicle ahead cannot be recognized
correctly by the sensor if any of following
occurs: - When the vehicle is pointing upwards due to overloading in the luggage
compartment.
- While the steering wheel is operating.
- When driving to one side of the lane.
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves.
- Apply the brake or accelerator pedal if necessary.
WARNING
When using the Smart Recuperation
System take the following precautions: • If an emergency stop is necessary,
you must apply the brakes.
• Keep a safe distance according to
road conditions and vehicle speed. If
the vehicle to vehicle distance is too close during a high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
• Always maintain sufficient braking
distance and decelerate your vehicle
by applying the brakes if necessary.
• The Smart Recuperation System
cannot recognize a stopped vehicle,
pedestrians or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
• Vehicles moving in front of you with
a frequent lane changes may cause
a delay in the system's reaction or
may cause the system to react to a
vehicle actually in an adjacent lane.
Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring.
• The Smart Recuperation System
may not recognize complex driving
situations so always pay attention to
driving conditions and control your
vehicle speed.
NOTICE
The Smart Recuperation System may
not operate temporarily due to: • Electrical interference
• Modifying the suspension
• Differences of tire abrasion or tire
pressure
• Installing different type of tires

Driving your vehicle

NOTICE
When using tire chains: • Wrong size chains or improperly
installed chains can damage your
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body and wheels.
• Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.
• If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to prevent contact with the
vehicle body.
• To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.5~1.0 km
(0.3~0.6 miles).
• Do not use tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels. If
unavoidable, use a wire type chain.
• Use wire chains less than 12 mm (0.47
in) wide to prevent damage to the
chain’s connection.
Winter Precautions
Check battery and cables
Winter temperatures affect battery
performance. Inspect the battery and
cables, as specified in the chapter 9. The battery charging level can be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer or in a service station.
Change to “winter weight” oil if
necessary
In some regions during winter, it is
recommended to use the “winter
weight” oil with lower viscosity. For
further information, refer to the chapter
2. When you are not sure about a type
of winter weight oil, we recommend to
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen,
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes,
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorized window
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified
on the window washer container.
Window washer anti-freeze solution is
available from an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer, and most vehicle accessory
outlets. Do not use coolant or other types
of anti-freeze solution, to prevent any
damage to the vehicle paint.

Emergency situations

Towing service
OOSEV068009
A
A
[A] : Dollies If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having 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.
OOS067022
• Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.
