By following a few simple precautions for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.
[Do not race the engine.

[ While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between
2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.

[ Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying
engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.

[ Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.

[ Fuel economy and engine performance may vary depending on vehicle break-in
process and be stabilized after 6,000 km (4,000 miles). New engines may consume
more oil during the vehicle break-in period.

[ Do not tow a trailer during the first 2,000km (1,200 miles) of operation.
VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND EVENT DATA RECORDERS
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
[How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

[ Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;

[ How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,

[ How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-
trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (for example, name, gender, age, and crash location)
are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) (if equipped)
Trailer stability assist is operated a
vehicle stability control system. Trailer
stability assist system stabilizes vehicle
and trailer when the trailer sways or
oscillates. There are various reasons
making vehicle sway and oscillate. In
most cases it happens at high speed
however, if the trailer is affected by
crosswinds, buffeting, and improper
overloading, it may also be at risk for
sway.
Factors of swaying such as: - High speed
- Strong crosswinds
- Improper overloading
- Sudden controlling of steering wheel
- Uneven road
Trailer stability assist system
continuously analyzes the vehicle
and trailer instability. When the
Trailer stability assist system detects
some sway, the brakes are applied
automatically to stabilize the vehicle
on the front wheel. However, if it is
not enough to stabilize, the brakes are
applied on all wheels automatically and
engine power is properly reduced. When
the vehicle is stable from swaying, trailer
stability assist system does not operate.
Downhill Brake Control (DBC) (if equipped)
OTM060014
Downhill Brake Control assists the driver
to descend down a steep hill without
having to depress the brake pedal.
The system automatically applies the
brakes to maintain vehicle speed below
a certain speed and allows the driver
to concentrate on steering the vehicle
down hill.
The system is turned off whenever the
engine is turned off.
Press the button to turn on the system
and press the button again to turn it off.

TRAILER TOWING
If you are considering to tow with your
vehicle, you should first your country’s
legal requirements. As laws vary the
requirements for towing trailers, cars, or
other types of vehicles or apparatus may
differ. For more details, you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Remember that trailering is different
than just driving your vehicle by
itself. Trailering means changes in
handling, durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering requires
correct equipment, and it has to be used
properly. Damage to your vehicle caused
by improper trailer towing is not covered
by your vehicle manufacturer’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. WARNING
Take the following precautions:
[ If you don’t use the correct
equipment and/or drive improperly,
you can lose control of the vehicle
when you are pulling a trailer. For
example, if the trailer is too heavy,
the braking performance 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 within the limits.

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 2,000 km (1,200
miles) 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, you consult
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
further information on additional
requirements such as a towing kit, etc.

[ Always drive your vehicle at a
moderate speed (less than 100 km/h
(60 mph)) or posted towing speed limit.

[ On a long uphill grade, do not exceed
70 km/h (45 mph) or the posted
towing speed limit, whichever is
lower.

[ Carefully observe the weight and load
limits provided in the following pages. Trailer weight
Tongue Load Total Trailer Weight
OOSH069129L
What is the maximum safe weight of a
trailer? It should never weigh more than
the maximum trailer weight with trailer
brakes. But even that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use your
trailer. For example, speed, altitude,
road grades, outside temperature and
how often your vehicle is used to pull a
trailer are all important. The ideal trailer
weight can also depend on any special
equipment that you have on your vehicle.

6-57
Tongue load
Gross Axle Weight Gross Vehicle Weight
OOSH069130L
The tongue load is an important weight
to measure because it affects the
total Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of
your vehicle. The trailer tongue should
weigh a maximum of 10% of the total
loaded trailer weight, within the limits
of the maximum trailer tongue load permissible.
After you’ve loaded your trailer,
weigh the trailer and then the tongue,
separately, to see if the weights are
proper. If they aren’t, you may be able
to correct them simply by moving some
items around in the trailer.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
[ Never load a trailer with more weight
in the rear than in the front. The front
should be loaded with approximately
60% of the total trailer load; the rear
should be loaded with approximately
40% of the total trailer load.

[ Never exceed the maximum weight
limits of the trailer or trailer towing
equipment. Improper loading can
result in damage to your vehicle and/
or personal injury. Check weights
and loading at a commercial scale or
highway patrol office equipped with scales.
Information
With increasing altitude the engine
performance decreases. From 1,000 m
above sea level and for every 1,000 m
thereafter 10% of vehicle/trailer weight
(trailer weighter + gross vehicle weight) must be deducted.
