Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving elements are
encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the following
precautions:

[Drive cautiously and maintain a longer
braking distance.

[Avoid abrupt braking or steering.

[When your vehicle is stuck in snow,
mud, or sand, use the second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary wheel spin.

[Put sand, rock salt, tyre chains or
other non-slip materials under the
wheels to provide additional traction
whilst the vehicle becomes stuck in
ice, snow, or mud.
WARNING
Downshifting with an Automatic
transmission, whilst driving on slippery
surfaces can cause an accident. The
sudden change in tyre speed could
cause the tyres to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first
turn the steering wheel right and left to
clear the area around your front wheels.
Then, shift back and forth between the
1st gear and R (Reverse, for manual
transmission vehicle) or R (Reverse)
and a forward gear (for Automatic
transmission vehicle/Dual clutch
transmission vehicle).
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
whilst shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal whilst the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes
a rocking motion that may free the
vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and excessive
wheel spin occurs, the temperature
in the tyres can increase very quickly.
If the tyres become damaged, a tyre
blow out or tyre explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous - you and
others may be injured. Do not attempt
this procedure if people or objects are
anywhere near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle can overheat quickly, possibly
causing an engine compartment fire or
other damages. Try to avoid spinning
the wheels as much as possible to
prevent overheating of either the tyres
or the engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle
to spin the wheels above 35 mph (56
km/h).

Driving your vehicle
Check spark plugs and ignition system
Inspect the spark plugs, as specified
in the chapter 9. If necessary, replace
them. Also check all ignition wirings and
components for any cracks, wear-out,
and damage.
To prevent locks from freezing
To prevent the locks from being frozen,
spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin
into key holes. When a lock opening is
already covered with ice, spray approved
de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.
When an internal part of a lock freezes,
try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully
use the heated key to avoid an injury.
Use approved window washer anti-
freeze solution in system
To prevent the window washer from
being frozen, add authorised window
washer anti-freeze solution, as specified
on the window washer container.
Window washer anti-freeze solution is
available from a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer, and most vehicle accessory
outlets. Do not use engine coolant or
other types of anti-freeze solution to
prevent any damage to the vehicle paint.
Do not let your parking brake freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position.
This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or
ice around or near the rear brakes or if
the brakes are wet. When there is the
risk that your parking brake may freeze,
temporarily apply it with the shift lever
in N (for Automatic Transmission/Dual
clutch transmission) or in the 1st gear or
reverse gear (for Manual transmission).
Also, block the rear wheels in advance,
so the vehicle may not roll. Then, release
the parking brake.Do not let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in such conditions during the severe
winter, you should check underneath
the vehicle on a regular basis, to ensure
that the front wheels and the steering
components is unblocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions,
you should carry appropriate emergency
equipment, whilst driving. Some of the
items you may want to carry include tyre
chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight,
emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the
engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the
engine compartment may cause an
engine failure or combustion, because
they may block the engine cooling.
Such damage will not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty.

Driving on hills
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear
before you start down a long or steep
downgrade. If you don’t shift down, you
might have to use your brakes so much
that they would get overheated and may
not operate efficiently.
On a long uphill grade, shift down and
reduce your speed to around 45 mph (70
km/h) to reduce the possibility of engine
and transmission overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trailer
brakes and you have an automatic
transmission/dual clutch transmission,
you should drive in D (Drive) when
towing a trailer. Operating your vehicle
in D (Drive) when towing a trailer will
minimise heat build-up and extend the
life of your transmission.
NOTICE
To prevent engine and/or transmission
overheating:

V When towing a trailer on steep
grades (in excess of 6%) pay close
attention to the engine coolant
temperature gauge to ensure the
engine does not overheat. If the
needle of the coolant temperature
gauge moves towards “H” (HOT),
pull over and stop as soon as it is
safe to do so, and allow the engine
to idle until it cools down. You may
proceed once the engine has cooled
sufficiently.

V You must decide your vehicle speed
according to the trailer weight and
uphill grade.
Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer attached
to your vehicle, you should not park your
vehicle on a hill.
However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here's how to do it:
1. Pull the vehicle into the parking space.
Turn the steering wheel in the
direction of the kerb (left if headed
down hill, right if headed up hill).
2. Shift the vehicle to P (Park, for
Automatic transmission/Dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or neutral (for
Manual transmission vehicle).
3. Set the parking brake and shut off the
vehicle.
4. Place wheel chocks under the trailer
wheels on the down hill side of the
wheels.
5. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes, shift
to neutral, release the parking brake
and slowly release the brakes until the
trailer chocks absorb the load.
6. Reapply the brakes and parking
brakes.
7. Move the shift lever to P (Park, for
Automatic transmission/Dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or the 1st gear
when the vehicle is parked on a uphill
grade and in R (Reverse) on a downhill
(for Manual transmission vehicle).
8. Shut off the vehicle and release the
vehicle brakes but leave the parking
brake set.
WARNING
To prevent serious or fatal injury:
Do not get out of the vehicle without
the parking brake firmly set. If you have
left the engine running, the vehicle can
move suddenly. You and others could
be seriously or fatally injured.

6-72
Driving your vehicle
Ready to leave after parking on a
hill
1. With the shift lever to P (Park, for
Automatic transmission/Dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or neutral (for
Manual transmission vehicle), apply
your brakes and hold the brake pedal
down whilst you:

V Start your engine;

V Shift into gear; and

V Release the parking brake.
2. Slowly remove your foot from the
brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of
the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and
store the chocks.
Maintenance when towing a
trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trailer.
Important items to pay particular
attention to include engine oil,
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission fluid, axle lubricant and
cooling system fluid. Brake condition
is another important item to frequently
check. If you’re trailering, it’s a good
idea to review these items before
you start your trip. Don’t forget to
also maintain your trailer and towbar.
Follow the maintenance schedule that
accompanied your trailer and check it
periodically. Preferably, conduct the
check at the start of each day’s driving.
Most importantly, all towbar nuts and
bolts should be tight.
NOTICE
To prevent vehicle damage:

V Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur on
hot days or during uphill driving. If
the coolant gauge indicates over-
heating, switch off the air conditioner
and stop the vehicle in a safe area to
cool down the engine.

V When towing check Automatic
transmission/Dual clutch
transmission fluid more frequently.

V If your vehicle is not equipped with
an air conditioner, you should install
a condenser fan to improve engine
performance when towing a trailer.

Emergency situations
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILST DRIVING
If the engine stalls whilst driving

[Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.

[Turn on your hazard warning flasher.

[Try to start the engine again. If your
vehicle will not start, we recommend
that you contact a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
If the engine stalls at a
crossroad or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroads or
crossing, if safe to do so, move the shift
lever to the N (Neutral) position and then
push the vehicle to a safe location.
If you have a flat tyre whilst
driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving:

[Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
whilst driving straight ahead. Do
not apply the brakes immediately or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. When the
vehicle has slowed to such a speed
that it is safe to do so, brake carefully
and pull off the road. Drive off the
road as far as possible and park on
firm, level ground. If you are on a
divided highway, do not park in the
median area between the two traffic
lanes.

[When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
move the shift lever into P (Park, for
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or neutral
(for manual transmission vehicle),
apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.

[Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the
side of the vehicle that is away from
traffic.

[When changing a flat tyre, follow
the instructions provided later in this
chapter.
