Good braking practices
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a complete
stop and continue to depress the brake
pedal. Move the shift lever into the 1st
gear (for Manual transmission vehicle)
or N (Neutral) position (for Automatic
transmission/Dual clutch transmission
vehicle), then apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
Vehicles parked with the parking brake
not applied or not fully engaged may
roll inadvertently and may cause injury
to the driver and others. ALWAYS apply
the parking brake before exiting the
vehicle.Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it is
washed.
Your vehicle will not stop as quickly if
the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may
cause the vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal. If the braking action does not
return to normal, stop as soon as it is
safe to do so and we recommend that
you call a HYUNDAI authorised repairer
for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but constant
pedal pressure can result in the brakes
overheating, brake wear, and possibly
even brake failure.
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
vehicle pointed straight ahead whilst you
slow down. When you are moving slowly
enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off
the road and stop in a safe location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal
when the vehicle is stopped to prevent
the vehicle from rolling forward.

NOTICE
If you want to use the ISG function, the
battery sensor needs to be calibrated
for approximately 4 hours with the
ignition off and then, turn the engine
on and off 2 or 3 times.
WARNING
When the engine is in Idle Stop mode,
it’s possible to restart the engine
without the driver taking any action.
Before leaving the car or doing
anything in the engine room area,
stop the engine by turning the ignition
switch to the LOCK (OFF) position or
removing the ignition key.

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.

repairs are being made or when the
vehicle is stopped near the edge of a
roadway.
To turn the hazard warning flasher on
or off, press the hazard warning flasher
button with the ignition switch in any
position. The button is located in the
centre fascia panel. All turn signal lights
will flash simultaneously.

[The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or not.

[The turn signals do not work when the
hazard flasher is on.

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

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.
