excessive brake pad and brake
rotor wear.
EPB (Electronic Parking Brake)
may be automatically applied
when:
Requested by other systems
If the driver turns the engine off
whilst Auto Hold is operating, EPB
will be automatically applied.

close door, bonnet and tailgate
If you try to drive with the EPB
applied, a warning will sound and a
message will appear.
If the driver's seat belt is unfas-
tened and the engine bonnet or
tailgate is opened, a warning will
sound and a message will appear.
If there is a problem with the vehi-
cle, a warning may sound and a
message may appear.
If the situation occurs, depress the
brake pedal and release EPB by
pressing the EPB switch.
NOTICE
OPD057130R
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 P
(Park) position, press the EPB

If you continuously notice a noise
or burning smell when the EPB is
used for emergency braking, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
When the EPB (Electronic Parking
Brake) does not release
If the EPB does not release normal-
ly, we recommend that you contact
an authorised HYUNDAI dealer by
loading the vehicle on a flatbed tow
truck and have the system checked.
Auto hold (if equipped)
Auto Hold maintains the vehicle at a
standstill even though the brake
pedal is not depressed, after the
driver brings the vehicle to a com-
plete stop by depressing the brake
pedal.
To apply :
1. With the driver's door, bonnet and
tailgate closed, fasten the driver's
seat belt and depress the brake
pedal, and then press the [AUTO
HOLD] switch. The white AUTO
HOLD indicator will come on and
the system will be in the standby
position.2. When you stop the vehicle com-
pletely by depressing the brake

stationary. The indicator changes
from white to green.
3. The vehicle will remain stationary
even if you release the brake
pedal.

The driver can monitor their driving
conditions on the LCD display.
The DAW screen will appear when
you select the Assist mode tab ( )

activated. For more information,
refer to "LCD Display Modes" in
chapter 3.
The driver's attention level is dis-
played on the scale from 1 to 5.
The lower the number is, the more
inattentive the driver is.
The number decreases when the
driver does not take a break for a
certain period of time.
The number increases when the

When the driver turns on the sys-
tem whilst driving, it displays 'Last

The "Consider taking a break"
message appears on the LCD dis-
play and a warning sounds in order
to suggest the driver to take a
break, when the driver’s attention
level is below 1.
The Driver Attention Warning

Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increas-
es as the depth of tyre tread
decreases, refer to "Tyre Tread" in
chapter 7.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing slowly.
Highway driving
Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tyres.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tyres, which may reduce traction or
adversely affect vehicle handling and
braking.
Information
Never over-inflate your tyres above
the maximum inflation pressure, as
specified on your tyres.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine
oil
Driving at higher speeds on the high-
way consumes more fuel and is less
efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
fuel when driving on the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine
coolant level and the engine oil
before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.

Driving your vehicle
Reducing the risk of a rollover
Your multi-purpose passenger vehi-
cle is defined as a Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV). SUV’s have higher
ground clearance and a narrower
track to make them capable of per-
forming in a wide variety of off-road
applications. The specific design
characteristics give them a higher
centre of gravity than ordinary vehi-
cles making them more likely to roll
over if you make abrupt turns. Utility
vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehi-
cles. Due to this risk, driver and pas-
sengers are strongly recommended
to buckle their seat belts. In a rollover
crash, an unrestrained person is sig-
nificantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
There are steps that a driver can
make to reduce the risk of a rollover.
If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abrupt manoeuvres, do not load your
vehicle with heavy luggage on the
roof, and never modify your vehicle in
any way.Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. To pre-
vent rollovers or loss of control:
Take corners at slower speeds
than you would with a passen-
ger vehicle.
Avoid sharp turns and abrupt
manoeuvres.
Do not modify your vehicle in
any way that you would raise
the centre of gravity.
Keep tyres properly inflated.
Do not carry heavy luggage
on the roof.
WARNING
In a rollover crash, an unre-
strained person is significantly
more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Make sure
all passengers are wearing their
seat belts.

What to do in an emergency
6
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you experience a loss
of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine may be over-
heating. If this happens, you should:
1. Pull off the road and stop as soon
as it is safe to do so.
2. Place the shift lever in P (Park, for
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or neutral (for
manual transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) and set the
parking brake. If the air condition-
ing is ON, turn it OFF.
3. If engine coolant is running out
under the vehicle or steam is com-
ing out from the bonnet, stop the
engine. Do not open the bonnet
until the coolant has stopped run-
ning or the steaming has stopped.
If there is no visible loss of engine
coolant and no steam, leave the
engine running and check to be
sure the engine cooling fan is
operating. If the fan is not running,
turn the engine off.4. Check for coolant leaking from the
radiator, hoses or under the vehi-
cle. (If the air conditioning had been
in use, it is normal for cold water to
be draining from it when you stop.)
5. If engine coolant is leaking out, stop
the engine immediately and we rec-
ommend that you call an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

Whilst the engine is
running, keep hands,
clothing and tools
away from the mov-
ing parts such as the
cooling fan and drive
belt to prevent seri-
ous injury.
WARNING
NEVER remove the
radiator cap or the
drain plug whilst the
engine and radiator
are hot. Hot coolant
and steam may blow out under
pressure, causing serious injury.
Turn the engine off and wait
until the engine cools down.
Use extreme care when remov-
ing the radiator cap. Wrap a
thick towel around it, and turn it
anticlockwise slowly to the first
stop. Step back whilst the pres-
sure is released from the cool-
ing system. When you are sure
all the pressure has been
released, press down on the
cap, using a thick towel, and
continue turning anticlockwise
to remove it.

Maintenance
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the engine
coolant reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
Check the inflation pressures of all
tyres including the spare for tyres
that are worn, show uneven wear,
or are damaged.
Check for loose wheel nuts.
At least twice a year:
(i.e., every Spring and Autumn)
Check radiator, heater and air condi-
tioning hoses for leaks or damage.
Check windscreen washer spray
and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with a clean cloth damp-
ened with washer fluid.
Check headlamp alignment.
Check muffler, exhaust pipes,
shields and clamps.
Check the seat belts for wear and
function.
At least once a year:
Clean body and door drain holes.
Lubricate door hinges and bonnet
hinges.
Lubricate door and bonnet locks
and latches.
Lubricate door rubber weather
strips.
Check the air conditioning system.
Inspect and lubricate automatic
transmission linkage and controls.
Clean the battery and terminals.
Check the brake fluid level.
