An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to the
environment and human
health. Dispose of the battery
according to your local law(s)
or regulations.
Jump starting procedure
1. Position the vehicles close enough
that the jumper cables will reach, but
do not allow the vehicles to touch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the
engine compartment at all times, even
when the vehicles are turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such
as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park, for
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or neutral (for
manual transmission vehicle), and set
the parking brakes. Turn both vehicles
OFF.1VQA4001
4. Connect the jumper cables in
the exact sequence shown in the
illustration. First connect one jumper
cable to the red, positive (+) jumper
terminal of your vehicle (1).
5. Connect the other end of the jumper
cable to the red, positive (+) battery/
jumper terminal of the assisting
vehicle (2).
6. Connect the second jumper cable to
the black, negative (-) battery/ chassis
ground of the assisting vehicle (3).
7. Connect the other end of the second
jumper cable to the black, negative (-)
chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery or jumper terminals or the
correct ground. Do not lean over the
battery when making connections.
8. Start the engine of the assisting
vehicle and let it run at approximately
2,000rpm for a few minutes. Then
start your vehicle.
If your vehicle will not start after a
few attempts, it probably requires
servicing. In this event, please seek
qualified assistance. If the cause of your
battery discharging is not apparent, we
recommend that you have your vehicle
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.

If the indicators do not extinguish after
a few minutes, it is recommended to
contact the nearest authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Each wheel is equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor mounted inside the tyre
behind the valve stem (except for the
spare tyre). You must use TPMS specific
wheels. It is recommended that you
always have your tyres serviced by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
You may not be able to identify a tyre
with low pressure by simply looking at it.
Always use a good quality tyre pressure
gauge to measure. Please note that a
tyre that is hot (from being driven) will
have a higher pressure measurement
than a tyre that is cold.
A cold tyre means the vehicle has been
sitting for 3 hours and driven for less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3 hour period.
Allow the tyre to cool before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always be sure
the tyre is cold before inflating to the
recommended pressure.
WARNING

[The TPMS cannot alert you to severe
and sudden tyre damage caused by
external factors such as nails or road
debris.

[If you feel any vehicle instability,
immediately take your foot off
the accelerator, apply the brakes
gradually with light force, and slowly
move to a safe position off the road.
WARNING
Tampering with, modifying, or disabling
the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may interfere
with the system’s ability to warn the
driver of low tyre pressure conditions
and/or TPMS malfunctions. Tampering
with, modifying, or disabling the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may void the warranty for
that portion of the vehicle.
WARNING

[Do not modify the vehicle; it may
interfere with the TPMS function.

[The wheels on the market do not
have a TPMS sensor.

[For your safety, we recommend that
you use parts for replacement from a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

[If you use the wheels on the market,
use a TPMS sensor approved by a
HYUNDAI dealer or the equivalent
approved for your vehicle. If your
vehicle is not equipped with a TPMS
sensor or TPMS does not work
properly, you may fail the periodic
vehicle inspection conducted in your
country.

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.

Maintenance
NOTICE
If you park your vehicle near a stainless
steel sign or glass facade building, the
vehicle’s exterior plastic parts such
as a bumper, spoiler, garnish, lamp
or outside rearview mirror might be
damaged due to sunlight reflected
from the sign or building. To prevent
damage of the exterior plastic parts,
you should avoid parking in areas
where light may be reflected or use a
car cover. (The exterior plastic parts
applied to your vehicle may vary.)
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
Finish maintenance
:DVKLQJ
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it
thoroughly and frequently at least once
a month with lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road driving,
you should wash it after each off-road trip.
Pay special attention to the removal of any
accumulation of salt, dirt, mud, and other
foreign materials. Make sure the drain
holes in the lower edges of the doors and
rocker panels are kept clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits.
A mild soap, safe for use on painted
surfaces, may be used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle
thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.

After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes whilst driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired, dry
the brakes by applying them lightly
whilst maintaining a slow forward
speed.

Corrosion protection

VLRQ
By using the most advanced design
and construction practices to combat
corrosion, we produces vehicles of the
highest quality. However, this is only
part of the job. To achieve the long-term
corrosion resistance your vehicle can
deliver, the owner’s cooperation and
assistance is also required.
&RPPRQFDXVHVRIFRUURVLRQ
The most common causes of corrosion
on your vehicle are:

[Road salt, dirt and moisture that is
allowed to accumulate underneath the
vehicle.

[Removal of paint or protective
coatings; by stones, gravel, abrasion
or minor scrapes and dents which
leave unprotected metal exposed to
corrosion.
+LJKFRUURVLRQDUHDV
If you live in an area where your vehicle
is regularly exposed to corrosive
materials, corrosion protection is
particularly important. Some of the
common causes of accelerated
corrosion are road salts, dust control
chemicals, ocean air and industrial
pollution.
