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.

Vacuum crankcase ventilation
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for
evidence of heat and/or mechanical
damage. Hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and
excessive swelling indicate deterioration.
Particular attention should be paid to
examine those hose surfaces nearest to
high heat sources, such as the exhaust
manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that
the hoses do not come in contact with
any heat source, sharp edges or moving
component which might cause heat
damage or mechanical wear. Inspect
all hose connections, such as clamps
and couplings, to make sure they are
secure, and that no leaks are present.
Hoses should be replaced immediately if
there is any evidence of deterioration or
damage.
Air cleaner filter
We recommend that the air cleaner filter
be replaced by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.
Spark plugs
(for petrol engine)
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
When assembling parts, be sure to
wipe out foreign substances inside
and outside of the boot bottom of the
ignition coil and the insulator of the
spark plug with a soft cloth to prevent
contamination of the spark plug
insulator.
WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect spark
plugs when the engine is hot. You may
burn yourself.
Cooling system
Check the cooling system parts, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Engine coolant
The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Manual transmission fluid/iMT
system actuator fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the Manual transmission fluid/
iMT system actuator fluid according to
the maintenance schedule.
Automatic transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Automatic transmission fluid should
not be checked under normal usage
conditions.
We recommend that the automatic
transmission fluid is changed by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer according
to the maintenance schedule.
