2. Return the support rod to its clip
location for preventing it from rattling.
3. Lower the bonnet halfway (lifted
approximately 30cm from the closed
position) and push down to securely
lock in place. Then double check to be
sure the bonnet is secure.
If the bonnet can be raised slightly, it
is not securely locked. Open it again
and close it with more force.
WARNING
[ Before closing the bonnet, ensure
all obstructions are removed from
around the bonnet opening.
[ Always double check to be sure
that the bonnet is firmly latched
before driving away. Check there
is no bonnet open warning light or
message displayed on the instrument
cluster. Driving with the bonnet
opened may cause a total loss of
visibility, which might result in an
accident.
[ Do not move the vehicle with the
bonnet in the raised position, as
vision is obstructed, which might
result in an accident, and the bonnet
could fall or be damaged.

tailgate. It may damage the tailgate's
latch.
WARNING
Exhaust fumes
If you drive with the tailgate opened,
you will draw dangerous exhaust
fumes into your vehicle which can
cause serious injury or death to vehicle
occupants.
If you must drive with the tailgate
opened, keep the air vents and all
windows open so that additional
outside air comes into the vehicle.
WARNING
Always keep the tailgate lid completely
closed whilst the vehicle is in motion. If
it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust
gases containing carbon monoxide
(CO) may enter the vehicle and serious
illness or death may result.
WARNING
Rear cargo area
Occupants should never ride in the
rear cargo area where no restraints are
available. To avoid injury in the event of
an accident or sudden stops, occupants
should always be properly restrained.
WARNING
OBC3050026
Do not hold the part (gas lifter) that
supports the tailgate. Be aware that
the deformation of the part may cause

WARNING
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and
death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows
immediately. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the
oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you
drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle, we recommend
that the exhaust system be checked as soon as possible by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous
practice. Run the engine only long enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle
out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the
vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at “Fresh” and fan
control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.
To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes
located in front of the windscreen clear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.
If you must drive with the tailgate open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at “Fresh”, the air flow control at “Floor” or “Face”, and the
fan control set to high.

Driving your vehicle
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 tyres 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 bonnet, the tailgate,
and the doors are securely closed and
locked.
[ Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.
[ Adjust the inside and outside rearview
mirrors.
[ Verify all the lights work.
[ Fasten your seat belt. Check that all
passengers have fastened their seat
belts.
[ 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 details, 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 or take drugs and drive.
Drinking 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 whilst 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.
