Driving your vehicle
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and death.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.
Do not inhale engine exhaust fumes.
If at any time you smell engine exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. Exposure to CO can
cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.
Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.
The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the oil or for any other purpose. If
you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the
vehicle, we recommend that the exhaust system be checked as soon as possible by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.
Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous practice. Run the engine only
long enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle out of the garage.
Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.
If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the vehicle, be sure to do so only in an
open area with the air intake set at "Fresh" and blower speed control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.
Keep the air intakes clear.
To ensure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes located in front of the windscreen
clear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.
If you must drive with the tailgate open:
Close all windows.
Open instrument panel air vents.
Set the air intake control at "Fresh", the air flow control at "Floor" or "Face", and the blower speed control set to high.

Before entering the vehicle
• Be sure all windows, outside mir-
ror(s), and outside lights are clean
and unobstructed.
Remove frost, snow, or ice.
Visually check the tyres for uneven
wear and damage.
Check under the vehicle for any
sign of leaks.
Be sure there are no obstacles
behind you if you intend to reverse.
Before starting
Make sure the bonnet, the tailgate,
and the doors are securely closed
and locked.
Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.
Adjust the inside and outside
rearview mirrors.
Verify all the lights work.
Fasten your seat belt. Check that
all passengers have fastened their
seat belts.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
•ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
All passengers must be prop-
erly restrained whenever the
vehicle is moving. For more
information, refer to "Seat
Belts" in chapter 2.
Always drive defensively.
Assume other drivers or pedes-
trians may be careless and
make mistakes.
Stay focused on the task of
driving. Driver distraction can
cause accidents.
Leave plenty of space between
you and the vehicle in front of
you.
WARNING

5-6
Driving your vehicle
NEVER drink or take drugs and
drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and
driving is dangerous and may
result in an accident and SERI-
OUS INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is a contributor to
the highway death toll each
year. Even a small amount of
alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Just
one drink can reduce your abili-
ty to respond to changing con-
ditions and emergencies and
your reaction time gets worse
with each additional drink.
Driving whilst under the influ-
ence of drugs is as dangerous
or more dangerous than driving
under the influence of alcohol.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
You are much more likely to have
a serious accident if you drink or
take drugs and drive. If you are
drinking or taking drugs, don't
drive. Do not ride with a driver
who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated
driver or call a taxi.

Key ignition switch
(If equipped)
Whenever the front door is opened,
the ignition switch will illuminate, pro-
vided the ignition switch is not in the
ON position. The light will go off
immediately when the ignition switch
(if equipped) is turned on or go off
after about 30 seconds when the
door is closed.
Never use aftermarket keyhole
covers. This may generate start-up
failure due to communication fail-
ure.
NOTICE
NEVER turn the ignition switch
to the LOCK or ACC position
whilst the vehicle is in motion
except in an emergency.
(Continued)
(Continued)
This will result in the engine
turning off and loss of power
assist for the steering and
brake systems. This may lead
to loss of directional control
and braking function, which
could cause an accident.
Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in 1st gear (for
manual transmission vehicle)
or P (Park, for automatic
transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) posi-
tion, apply the parking brake,
and turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK position.
Unexpected vehicle move-
ment may occur if these pre-
cautions are not followed.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
NEVER allow children or any
person who is unfamiliar with
the vehicle to touch the igni-
tion switch or related parts.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur.
NEVER reach through the
steering wheel for the ignition
switch, or any other control,
whilst the vehicle is in motion.
The presence of your hand or
arm in this area may cause a
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
