Driving your vehicle
We do not recommend using this vehicle for trailer towing.
TTRR AA IILL EE RR TT OO WW IINN GG
If you carry items inside your
vehicle (e.g., suitcases, tools,
packages, or anything else),
they are moving as fast as the
vehicle. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a
crash, the items will keep going
and can cause an injury if they
strike the driver or a passenger.
Put items in the cargo area of
your vehicle. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
Do not stack items, like suit-
cases, inside the vehicle
above the tops of the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured
child restraint in your vehicle.
When you carry something
inside the vehicle, secure it.

What to do in an emergency
The following items may need to be
reset after the battery has been dis-
charged or the battery has been dis-
connected. See chapter 3 or 4 for:
Power Windows
Trip Computer
Climate Control System
Clock
Audio System
Sunroof
Driver Position Memory System
External power source using 12V
battery
The use of external power acces-
sories may reduce performance
and function of the vehicle.
Especially, the use of dash cam-
eras may shut off the power of the
vehicle prior to the dash camera's
automatic shut-down.
If the power of the vehicle is shut
off, start the vehicle as explained.
(refer to "Using the 12V Battery
Switch")Jump Starting
In the event vehicle still does not
have a functional 12V battery (check
if interior lights will not turn on) then
you can try a jump start using a 12V
booster pack or jumper cables from
another vehicle's 12V battery
according to the following instruc-
tions.1. Position the vehicles close enough
that the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles totouch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the fuel cell power module com-
partment at all times, even when
the vehicles are turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park)
and set the parking brake. Turn
both vehicles OFF.
NOTICE
Jump starting can be danger-
ous if done incorrectly. Follow
the jump starting procedure in
this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehi-
cle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehi-
cle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service techni-
cian or towing service do it for
you.
CAUTION

What to do in an emergency
1. Pull off the road and stop as soonas it is safe to do so.
2. Shift to P (Park) and set the park- ing brake. If the air conditioning is
on, turn it off.
3. If coolant is running out under the vehicle or steam is coming out
from the hood, stop the vehicle.Do not open the hood until the
coolant has stopped running or
the steaming has stopped. If there
is no visible loss of coolant and no
steam, leave the vehicle running
and check to be sure the vehicle
cooling fan is operating. If the fan
is not running, turn the vehicle 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 coolant is leaking out, stop the vehicle immediately and call the
nearest authorized HYUNDAI
dealer for assistance.

While the vehicle is
running, keep hands,
clothing and tools
away from the mov-
ing parts such as the
cooling fan to prevent
serious injury.
WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with a pres-
surized coolant
reserve tank. NEVER
remove the coolant
reserve tank cap or the radiatordrain plug while the radiator is
HOT. Hot coolant and steam
may blow out under pressure,
causing serious injury.
Turn the vehicle off and wait
until the vehicle cools down.
Use extreme care when remov-
ing the coolant reserve tank
cap. Wrap a towel or thick rag
around it, and turn it counter-
clockwise slowly to release
some of the pressure from the
system. Step back while thepressure is released.
When you are sure all the pres-
sure has been released, contin-ue turning the cap counter-
clockwise to remove it.

The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
may illuminate after blinking for
one minute if the vehicle is near
electric power supply cables or
radio transmitters such as police
stations, government and public
offices, broadcasting stations,
military installations, airports,
transmitting towers, etc.
Additionally, the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may illuminate if snow
chains are used or electronic
devices such as computers, charg-
ers, remote starters, navigation,
etc. This may interfere with normal
operation of the TPMS.
Changing a Tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire Pressure and LCD position indicator
will come on. Have the flat tire
repaired by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer as soon as possible.
Once the original tire equipped with
a tire pressure monitoring sensor isreinflated to the recommended pres-
sure and reinstalled on the vehicle,
the Low Tire Pressure LCD position
indicator and TPMS Malfunction
Indicator will go off within a few min-
utes of driving.If the indicators do not disappear
after a few minutes, please visit an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. Each wheel is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by HYUNDAIdealer to repair and/or inflate a
low pressure tire. Tire sealant
not approved by HYUNDAI deal-
er may damage the tire pressure
sensor.

Towing Service
[A] : Dollies
If emergency towing is necessary,
we recommend having it done by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing procedures
are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. The use of wheel dolliesor flatbed is recommended.It is acceptable to tow the vehicle
with the rear wheels on the ground(without dollies) and the front wheels
off the ground. If any of the loadedwheels or suspension components
are damaged or the vehicle is being
towed with the front wheels on the
ground, use a towing dolly under the
front wheels.
When being towed by a commercial
tow truck and wheel dollies are not
used, the front of the vehicle should
always be lifted, not the rear.
Do not tow the vehicle with the
front wheels on the ground as
this may cause damage to the
vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Use a wheel lift orflatbed equipment.

ground can cause internal dam-
age to the vehicle.

Emergency Towing
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend you have it done by an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer or a commer-
cial tow truck service.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or
chain secured to the emergency tow-ing hook at the front (or rear) of the
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when towing
the vehicle with a cable or chain. A
driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done
only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.
Also, the wheels, axles, power train,
steering and brakes must all be ingood condition.Always follow these emergency tow-ing precautions:
While depressing the brake pedal
shift to the N (Neutral) position and
turn the vehicle off. The POWER
button will be in the ACC position.
Release the parking brake.
Depress the brake pedal with more force than normal since you will
have reduced braking perform-
ance.
More steering effort will be required because the power steer-
ing system will be disabled.
Use a vehicle heavier than your own to tow your vehicle.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently.
Before emergency towing, check that the hook is not broken or dam-aged.
Fasten the towing cable or chain securely to the hook.
Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and even force.
What to do in an emergency
The driver must be in the vehi-
cle for steering and braking
operations when the vehicle is
being towed. Passengers other
than the driver must not be in
the vehicle.
