Information
• The time gap could occur betweenthe navigation’s guidance and when
Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control operation starts and ends.
• The speed information on the clus- ter and navigation may differ.
• Even if you are driving at a speed lower than Smart Cruise Control set
speed, acceleration may be limited
by the curve sections ahead.
• If Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control is operating while leaving
the main road to enter an inter-
change, junction, rest area, etc., the
function may operate for a certain
period of time.
• Deceleration by Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control may feel it is
not sufficient due to road conditions
such as uneven road surfaces, nar-
row lanes, etc.
i
Driving your vehicle
Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control may not oper-
ate due to the existence of
leading vehicles and the driv-
ing conditions of the vehicle.
Always pay attention to road
and driving conditions while
driving.
When you are towing a trailer
or another vehicle, we recom-
mend that Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control is
turned off due to safety rea-
sons.
After you pass through a toll-
gate on a highway (or motor-
way), Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control will operate
based on the first lane. If you
enter one of the other lanes,
Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control may not oper-
ate properly.
The vehicle will accelerate if
the driver depresses the
accelerator pedal while
Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control is operating,
and the function will not
decelerate the vehicle.
However, if the accelerator
pedal is depressed insuffi-
ciently, the vehicle may decel-
erate.
If the driver accelerates and
releases the accelerator pedal
while Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control is operating,
the vehicle may not deceler-
ate sufficiently or may rapidly
decelerate to a safe speed.
If the curve is too large or too
small, Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control may not
operate.

Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
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, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tire damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more dis-tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control.
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windshield.
Tires should be properly main- tained with at least 2/32nds of an
inch of tread depth. If your tires do
not have enough tread, making a
quick stop on wet pavement can
cause a skid and possibly lead to
an accident. See "Tire replace-
ment" in chapter 7 .
Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.

Driving your vehicle
W WI IN N T TE ER R D D R RI IV V I IN N G G
The severe weather conditions of
winter quickly wear out tires and
cause other problems. To minimize
winter driving problems, you should
take the following suggestions:
Snow or Icy Conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding,
rapid acceleration, sudden brake
applications, and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine
braking to the fullest extent. Sudden
brake applications on snowy or icy
roads may cause the vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tires
or to install tire chains on your tires.
Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to
carry include tire chains, tow straps
or chains, a flashlight, emergency
flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables,
a window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
Snow tires
If you mount snow tires on your vehi-
cle, make sure to use radial tires of
the same size and load range as the
original tires. Mount snow tires on all
four wheels to balance your vehicle’s
handling in all weather conditions.
The traction provided by snow tires
on dry roads may not be as high as
your vehicle's original equipment
tires. Check with the tire dealer for
maximum speed recommendations.
Information
Do not install studded tires without
first checking local, state and munici-
pal regulations for possible restric-
tions against their use.
Tire chains
The mounting of some types of tire
chains may cause damage to the
tire. Therefore the use of snow tires
is preferred over the use of tire
chains.
If the road and weather conditions
require the use of tire chains, be sure
to use tire chains that have been
properly selected for the size of tire
on your HYUNDAI vehicle.
Be sure to follow the guidelines and
installation instructions provided
from the tire chain manufacturer.
i
Snow tires should be equivalent
in size and type to the vehicle’s
standard tires. Otherwise, the
safety and handling of your
vehicle may be adversely affect-
ed.

Driving your vehicle
If you are considering to tow with your
vehicle, you should first check with
your state's Department of Motor
Vehicles to determine legal require-
ments. Since laws vary from state to
state the requirements for towing
trailers, vehicles, or other types of
vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
further details before towing.
Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in han-
dling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering requires
correct equipment, and it has to be
used properly. Damage to your vehi-
cle caused by improper trailer towing
is not covered by your vehicle manu-
facturer’s warranty.
This section contains many time-
tested, important trailering tips and
safety rules. Many of these are
important for your safety and that of
your passengers. Please read this
section carefully before you pull a
trailer.
If you decide to pull a trailer
Here are some important points if
you decide to pull a trailer:
Consider using a sway control. You can ask a trailer hitch dealer about
sway control.
Do not do any towing with your vehicle during its first 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) in order to allow the
engine to properly break in. Failure
to heed this caution may result in
serious engine or transmission
damage.
When towing a trailer, be sure to consult an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for further information on
additional requirements such as a
towing kit, etc.
Always drive your vehicle at a mod- erate speed (less than 60 mph
(100 km/h)) or posted towing
speed limit.
On a long uphill grade, do not exceed 45 mph (70 km/h) or the
posted towing speed limit,
whichever is lower.
Carefully observe the weight and load limits provided in the following
pages.
T TR R A A I IL L E E R R T T O O W W I IN N G G
Take the following precautions:
If you don't use the correct
towing equipment, or if you
drive improperly while towing,
you can lose control of the
vehicle when pulling a trailer.
For example, if the trailer is
too heavy, the braking per-
formance may be reduced.
You and your passengers
could be seriously or fatally
injured. Pull a trailer only if
you have followed all the
steps in this section.
Before towing, make sure the
total trailer weight, GCW
(Gross Combination Weight),
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight),
GAW (Gross Axle Weight ) and
trailer tongue load are all with-
in the limits.
When you tow a trailer, make
sure to turn off the Idle Stop
and Go system.
