NEVER drink or take drugs and
drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driv-
ing 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, percep-
tions and judgment. Just one
drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions
and emergencies and your reac-
tion time gets worse with each
additional drink.
Driving while under the influ-
ence of drugs is as dangerous
or more dangerous than driving
under the influence of alcohol.
WARNING 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 driv-
er or call a taxi.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
•ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
All passengers must be prop-
erly belted whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. For more
details, refer to "Seat Belts" in
chapter 2.
•Always drive defensively.
Assume other drivers or pedes-
trians 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.

Rev matching
The Rev Matching system automati-
cally helps synchronize engine rpm
with the optimal speed of the gear
about to be engaged which reduces
the impact of clutch connection and
improves gear shift response.
Information
• Fully depress the clutch pedal.
Without the clutch pedal fully
depressed, the system may not
response correctly.
• The system does not operate when
backing up.
• Rev Matching controls the engine
speed up to the rev limit, but the
function cannot prevent over-
revving caused by shifting mistake.
i
•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.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•ALWAYS wear your seatbelt.
In a collision, an unbelted
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belt-
ed occupant.
•Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering 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.
WARNING

5-30
Driving your vehicle
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•When driving uphill or down-
hill, always shift to D (Drive)
for driving forward or shift to
R (Reverse) for driving rear-
wards. After selecting D
(Drive) or R (Reverse), check
the gear position indicated on
the cluster before driving. If
you drive in the opposite
direction of the selected gear,
the engine will turn off and a
serious accident might occur
due to degraded brake per-
formance.
•Always buckle-up! In a colli-
sion, an unbelted occupant is
significantly more likely to be
seriously injured or killed than
a properly belted occupant.
•Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
WARNING •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.
If your vehicle is stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., you may
attempt to free the vehicle by
rocking it back and forth. Do not
attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near.
Vehicle may suddenly move for-
ward or backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.

Information
In a situation collision is imminent,
braking may be assisted by Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist when
braking is insufficient by the driver.
i
•During Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist operation,
the vehicle may stop sudden-
ly injuring passengers and
shifting loose objects. Always
have the seat belt on and keep
loose objects secured.
•If any other system’s warning
message is displayed or audi-
ble warning is generated,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist warning message may
not be displayed and audible
warning may not be generat-
ed.
•You may not hear the warning
sound of Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist if the sur-
rounding is noisy.
•Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may turn off or may not
operate properly or may oper-
ate unnecessarily depending
on the road conditions and
the surroundings.
•Even if there is a problem with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle’s basic
braking performance will
operate normally.
•During emergency braking,
braking control by the system
will automatically cancel
when the driver excessively
depresses the accelerator
pedal or sharply steers the
vehicle.
WARNING
Depending on the condition of
the vehicle, pedestrian in front
and the surroundings, the
speed range to operate Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may
reduce. The system may only
warn the driver, or the system
may not operate.

Taking a break
• The ‘Consider taking a break’ mes-
sage will appear on the cluster and
an audible warning will sound to
suggest that the driver take a
break, when the driver’s attention
level is below 1.
• Driver Attention Warning will not
suggest a break when the total
driving time is shorter than 10 min-
utes or 10 minutes has not passed
after the last break was suggested.Information
•You may change settings from the
instrument cluster (User Settings),
refer to ‘LCD display’ section in
chapter 3.
•Driver Attention Warning will reset
the last break time to 00:00 in the
following situations:
- The engine is turned off
- The driver unfastens the seat belt
and opens the driver’s door
- The vehicle is stopped for more
than 10 minutes
•When the driver resets Driver
Attention Warning, the last break
time is set to 00:00 and the driver’s
attention level is set to High.

OBU050185N
For your safety, change the
Settings after parking the vehi-
cle at a safe location.
WARNING
•Driver Attention Warning may
suggest a break depending on
the driver’s driving pattern or
habits, even if the driver does-
n’t feel fatigue.
•Driver Attention Warning is a
supplemental system and
may not be able to determine
whether the driver is inatten-
tive.
•The driver who feels fatigued
should take a break at a safe
location, even though there is
no break suggestion by Driver
Attention Warning.
CAUTION

Driving your vehicle
• Driving too fast through large pud-
dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
• If you believe your brakes may be
wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increas-
es as the depth of tire tread
decreases, refer to "Tire
Replacement" in chapter 7.
Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tires, which may reduce traction or
adversely affect vehicle handling.
This could lead to sudden tire failure
that may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as speci-
fied on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine
oil
Driving at higher speeds on the high-
way consumes more fuel and is less
efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
fuel when driving on the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine
coolant level and the engine oil
before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.
