WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist:

[Always pay extreme caution whilst
driving. The driver is responsible for
controlling the brake for safe driving.

[Always pay attention to road and
traffic conditions whilst driving,
whether or not there is a warning.

[Always look around your vehicle to
make sure there are no pedestrians
or objects before moving the vehicle.

[The performance of Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist may
vary under certain conditions. If
the vehicle speed is above 2 mph
(4 km/h), the function will provide
collision avoidance assist only when
pedestrians are detected. Always
look around and pay attention when
backing up your vehicle.

[Some objects may not be detected by
the rear ultrasonic sensors due to the
objects distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effectiveness
of the sensor.

[Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate properly
or may operate unnecessarily
depending on the road conditions
and the surroundings.

[Do not solely rely on the function.
Doing so may lead to vehicle damage
or injuries.
CAUTION

[Noise may be heard when sudden
braking occurs to avoid a collision.

[If any other warning sound such
as the seat belt warning chime is
already generated, Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
may not sound.

[The function may not work properly
if the bumper has been damaged,
replaced or repaired.

[Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate normally if
interfered by strong electromagnetic
waves.

[Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may prevent passengers
from hearing Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist warning
sounds.

[Turn off Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist when towing a
trailer. If towing and moving in
reverse, Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist will activate as it
detects the trailer.

Emergency situations
Jump starting can be dangerous if done
incorrectly. Follow the jump starting
procedure in this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehicle. If in
doubt about how to properly jump start
your vehicle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service technician or
towing service do it for you.
WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
to you or bystanders, always follow
these precautions when working near
or handling the battery:
Always read and follow
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Wear eye protection designed
to protect the eyes from acid
splashes.
Keep all flames, sparks, or
smoking materials away from
the battery.
Hydrogen is always present in
battery cells, is highly
combustible, and may explode
if ignited.
Keep batteries out of reach of
children.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is highly corrosive. Do
not allow acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for at least 15
minutes and get immediate medical
attention. If acid gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the area. If you
feel pain or a burning sensation, get
medical attention immediately.

[When lifting a plastic-cased battery,
excessive pressure on the case may
cause battery acid to leak. Lift with a
battery carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.

[Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle if your battery is frozen.

[NEVER attempt to recharge the
battery when the vehicle’s battery
cables are connected to the battery.

[The electrical ignition system works
with high voltage. NEVER touch these
components with the engine running
or when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.

[Do not allow the (+) and (-) jumper
cables to touch. It may cause sparks.

[The battery may rupture or explode
when you jump start with a low or
frozen battery.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your vehicle:

[Only use a 12-volt power supply
(battery or jumper system) to jump
start your vehicle.

[Do not attempt to jump start your
vehicle by push-starting.

Changing tyres
WARNING
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack
causing serious injury or death to you
or those nearby. Take the following
safety precautions:

[Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.

[NEVER attempt to change a tyre in
the lane of traffic. ALWAYS move the
vehicle completely off the road on
level, firm ground away from traffic
before trying to change a tyre. If you
cannot find a level, firm place off
the road, call a towing service for
assistance.

[Be sure to use the jack provided with
the vehicle.

[ALWAYS place the jack on the
designated jacking positions on the
vehicle and NEVER on the bumpers
or any other part of the vehicle for
jacking support.

[Do not start or run the engine whilst
the vehicle is on the jack.

[Do not allow anyone to remain in the
vehicle whilst it is on the jack.

[Keep children away from the road
and the vehicle.

WARNING
Carbon monoxide
Do not leave your vehicle running in
a poorly ventilated area for extended
periods of time.
Carbon monoxide poisoning and
suffocation can occur.
Distributing the sealant
11. Immediately drive approximately
4~6miles (7~10km or, about 10 mins)
to evenly distribute the sealant in the
tyre.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80
km/h). If possible, do not fall below a
speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).
Whilst driving, if you experience any
unusual vibration, ride disturbance or
noise, reduce your speed and drive with
caution until you can safely pull off the
vehicle on the side of the road.
Call for road side service or towing.
When you use the Tyre Mobility Kit, the
tyre pressure valve and wheel may be
damaged by sealant, remove the sealant
stained. We recommend that the tyre
pressure valve and wheel be inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Checking the tyre inflation
pressure
1. After driving approximately 4 ~6miles
(7~10km or about 10min), stop at a
safety location.
2. Connect connection hose (10) of the
compressor directly to the tyre valve.
3. Plug the compressor power cord into
the vehicle power outlet.
4. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to
the recommended tyre inflation.
With the ignition switched on, proceed
as follows.
- To increase the inflation pressure :
Switch on the compressor, position
I. To check the current inflation
pressure setting, briefly switch off
the compressor.
i Information
The pressure gauge may show higher than
actual reading when the compressor is
running. To get an accurate tyre pressure,
the compressor needs to be turned off.
NOTICE
- Tyre pressure valve
We recommend that you use the
sealant of tyre mobility kit from a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer. The
sealant on the tyre pressure valve and
wheel should be removed when you
replace the tyre with a new one and
we recommend that the tyre pressure
valve be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.

Emergency situations
Towing service
OBC3080014
[A] : Dolly
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer 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.
OBC3080015

[Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. Use wheel lift or flatbed
equipment.

Emergency situations
Emergency towing
OBC3080019
„Front
„Rear
OBC3080020
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer or a commercial tow
truck service.
If towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing hook
at the front (or rear) of the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing the
vehicle with a cable or chain. A driver
must be in the vehicle to steer it and
operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a short
distance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, power train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
CAUTION
The driver must be in the vehicle for
steering and braking operations when
the vehicle is being towed. Passengers
other than the driver must not be in the
vehicle.
Always follow these emergency towing
precautions:

[Place the ignition switch in the ACC
position so the steering wheel is not
locked.

[Place the shift lever in N (Neutral).

[Release the parking brake.

[Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will have
reduced braking performance.

[More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.

[Use a vehicle heavier than your own to
tow your vehicle.

[The drivers of both vehicles should
communicate with each other
frequently.

[Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.

[Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.

[Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and
even force.
