Seat Belt Restraint System
WARNING
OHI038182L
Improperly positioned seat belts may
increase the risk of serious injury
in an accident. Take the following
precautions when adjusting the seat
belt:

[Position the lap portion of the seat
belt as low as possible across your
hips, not on your waist, so that it
fits snugly. This allows your strong
pelvic bones to absorb the force of
the crash, reducing the chance of
internal injuries.

[ Position one arm under the shoulder
belt and the other over the belt, as
shown in the illustration.

[ Always position the shoulder belt
anchor into the locked position at the
appropriate height.

[ Never position the shoulder belt
across your neck or face.
Lap/shoulder belt
OHI038140
To fasten your seat belt:
Pull it out of the retractor and insert the
me

tal tab (1) into the buckle (2). There
will be an audible “click” when the tab
locks into the buckle.
OHI038137
You should place the lap belt (1) portion
across your hips and the shoulder belt (2)
portion across your chest.
The seat belt automatically adjusts to the
proper length after the lap belt portion
is adjusted manually so that it fits snugly
around your hips. If you lean forward in
a slow, easy motion, the belt will extend
and move with you.
If there is a sudden stop or impact, the
belt will lock into position. It will also lock
if you try to lean forward too quickly.

EXTERIOR FEATURES
Roof Side Rails
OTM050017
If your vehicle comes with roof side rails,
then roof side rails crossbars can be
installed on top of your vehicle.
The roof side rails crossbars are an
accessory and are available at your
HYUNDAI dealer.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, be sure not to position cargo
onto the roof side rails in such a way
that it could interfere with sunroof
operation.
NOTICE

[ When carrying cargo on the roof side
rails, take the necessary precautions
to make sure the cargo does not
damage the roof of the vehicle.

[ When carrying large objects on the
roof side rails, make sure they do
not exceed the overall roof length or
width.
WARNING

[The following specification is the
maximum weight that can be loaded
onto the roof side rails. Distribute the
load as evenly as possible onto the
roof side rails and secure the load
firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in excess
of the specified weight limit on the
roof side rails may damage your
vehicle.
ROOF SIDE
RAILS 220 lbs. (100 kg)
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED

[ The vehicle center of gravity will be
higher when items are loaded onto
the roof side rails. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns, abrupt
maneuvers or high speeds that may
result in loss of vehicle control or
rollover resulting in an accident.

[ Always drive slowly and turn corners
carefully when carrying items on the
roof side rails. Severe wind updrafts,
caused by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden upward
pressure on items loaded on the
roof side rails. This is especially true
when carrying large, flat items such
as wood panels or mattresses. This
could cause the items to fall off the
roof side rails and cause damage to
your vehicle or others around you.

[ To prevent damage or loss of cargo
while driving, check frequently
before or while driving to make sure
the items on the roof side rails are
securely fastened.

Limitations of ECO mode
If the following conditions occur while
E
CO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though there is
no change in the ECO indicator.

[ When coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until engine
performance becomes normal.

[ When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.

[ When driving the vehicle in manual
shift mode using the paddle shifter.
The system will be limited according to
the shift location.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode provides sporty
but firm riding.
In SPORT mode, the fuel
efficiency may decrease.

[ When SPORT mode is selected, the
SPORT indicator will illuminate on the
instrument cluster.

[ Whenever the engine is restarted, the
drive mode will revert back to ECO
mode. If SPORT mode is desired, re-
select SPORT mode.

[ When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to remain raised over a certain length of time
even after releasing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accelerating
SMART mode
SMART mode selects the
proper driving mode among
ECO, COMFORT and SPORT
by judging the driver's
driving habits (i.e. mild or
dynamic) from the brake pedal
depression or the steering
wheel operation.

[ Press the DRIVE MODE button to
activate SMART mode. When SMART
mode is activated, the indicator
illuminates on the instrument cluster.

[ The vehicle starts in SMART mode,
when the engine was turned OFF in
SMART mode.

[ SMART mode automatically controls
gear shifting patterns, engine torque,
in accordance with the driver's driving
habits.
Information

[When you mildly drive the vehicle
in SMART mode, the driving mode
changes to ECO mode to improve fuel
efficiency. However, the actual fuel
efficiency may differ in accordance
with your driving situations (for
example, upward/downward slope,
vehicle deceleration/acceleration).

[ When you dynamically drive the
vehicle in SMART mode by abruptly
decelerating or sharply curving, the
driving mode changes to SPORT mode.
However, it may adversely affect fuel
economy.

Driving Your Vehicle6-62
Safety chains
You should always attach chains between
your vehicle and your trailer.
Instructions about safety chains may
be provided by the hitch manufacturer
or trailer manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation for
attaching safety chains. Always leave just
enough slack so you can turn with your
trailer. And, never allow safety chains to
drag on the ground.
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a braking
system, make sure it conforms to
your country’s regulations and that
it is properly installed and operating
correctly.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trailer
brakes loaded, then it needs its own
brakes and they must be adequate. Be
sure to read and follow the instructions
for the trailer brakes so you’ll be able
to install, adjust and maintain them
properly. Be sure not to modify your
vehicle’s brake system.
WARNING
Do not use a trailer with its own brakes
unless you are absolutely certain that
you have properly set up the brake
system. This is not a task for amateurs.
Use an experienced, competent trailer
shop for this work.
Driving with a Trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you must get to
know your trailer. Acquaint yourself with
the feel of handling and braking with the
added weight of the trailer. And always
keep in mind that the vehicle you are
driving is now longer and not nearly as
responsive as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch
and platform, safety chains, electrical
connector(s), lights, tires and brakes.
During your trip, occasionally check
to be sure that the load is secure, and
that the lights and trailer brakes are still
working.
Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when driving
your vehicle without a trailer. This can
help you avoid situations that require
heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You will need more passing distance up
ahead when you’re towing a trailer. And,
because of the increased vehicle length,
you’ll need to go much farther beyond
the passed vehicle before you can return
to your lane.
