Driving Your Vehicle
6-46
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to free
it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn the
steering wheel right and left to clear the
area around your front wheels. Then, shift
back and forth between R (Reverse) and a
forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the vehicle.
To prevent gear wear, wait until the
wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the vehicle is in
gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING Always turn off the ESC system before
rocking the vehicle. If the vehicle is stuck
and excessive wheel spin occurs, the
temperature in the tires may increase
very quickly. If the tires become
damaged, a tire blow out or tire explosion
may occur - you and others may be
injured. Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle may overheat quickly, possibly
causing a motor compartment fire or
other damage. Try to avoid spinning the
wheels as much as possible to prevent
overheating of the tires or the motor. DO
NOT allow the vehicle to spin the wheels
above 35 mph (56 km/h).
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid motor
overheating, possible damage to the
transmission, and tire damage. Refer to
the “Towing” section in chapter 8.

Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, cornering should be taken under
gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards than
driving in the daylight. Here are some
important tips to remember:
• Slow down and keep more distance between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may not
be any street lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other drivers’ headlights.
• Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlights will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the headlights of oncoming vehicles. You could be
temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to
readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. When driving in the rain or on
slick pavement:
• Slow down and allow extra following distance. A heavy rainfall makes it
harder to see and increases the
distance needed to stop your vehicle.
• Turn OFF your Smart Cruise Control.
• Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
• Make sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have enough
tread, making a quick stop on wet
pavement may cause a skid and
possibly lead to a collision. Refer to the
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 46

“Tire Replacement” section in Chapter
9.
• Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you. Using your
headlights when using your windshield
wipers is required in some jurisdictions.
• Driving too fast through large puddles may affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
• If you believe your brakes are wet, apply them several times while the
vehicle is moving slowly.
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 increases as the
depth of tire tread decreases, For more
information, refer to the “Tire
Replacement” section in chapter 9.
Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is not
deeper than the bottom of the wheel hub.
If you are not sure, turn around and find a
different route. Drive through any water
slowly. Allow adequate stopping distance
because the brake performance can be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressure, as
specified. Under-inflation may overheat
or damage the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or fail.
Information Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified on
your tires.

Coolant and high voltage battery
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more electric energy and is
less efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
electric energy when driving on the
highway.
Be sure to check both the coolant level
and the electric energy level before
driving.

Battery Recharging
By battery charger
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged over a short time (because, for example, the
headlights or interior lights were left on
while the vehicle was not in use),
recharge it by slow charging (trickle) for
10 hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges because of high electrical load while the vehicle is being used, recharge it at
20-30 A for two hours.
WARNING Always follow these instructions when
recharging your vehicle’s battery to avoid
the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH
from explosions or acid burns:
• Before performing maintenance or
recharging the battery, turn off all
accessories and stop the vehicle.
• Keep all flames, sparks, or smoking materials away from the battery.
• Always work outdoors or in an area with plenty of ventilation.
• Wear eye protection when checking the battery during charging.
• The battery must be removed from the vehicle and placed in a well ventilated
area.
• Watch the battery during charging, and stop or reduce the charging rate if the
battery cells begin boiling violently.
• Remove the negative battery cable first and install it last when the battery is
disconnected. Disconnect the battery
charger in the following order:
1. Turn off the battery charger main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery terminal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery terminal.

By jump starting
After a jump start from a good battery,
drive the vehicle for 20-30 minutes
before it is shutoff. The vehicle may not
restart if you shut it off before the battery
had a chance to adequately recharge. For
more information, refer to the
“JumpStarting” section in chapter 8 for
more information on jump starting
procedures.
