OTM070084OTM070084
(1) Press and hold one of the Forward () or Backward () button on
the smart key. Remote Smart
Parking Assist will automatically
control the steering wheel, vehicle
speed and gearshift. The vehicle
will move in the direction of the
button pressed.
(2) While Remote Operation function is operating, if the you do not
hold down the Forward (
) or
Backward () button, the vehicle
will stop and system control will
pause. The function will start
operating again when the button is
pressed and held again.
(3) When the vehicle reaches the target location, release the smart
key Forward or Backward button.
(4) When the driver gets in the vehicle with the smart key, a message
will appear informing the driver
Remote Operation function is
complete on the infotainment
system screen and the engine will
remain on.
In addition, when the Remote Start
(
) button is pressed on the smart
key from outside the vehicle, a
message will appear informing the
driver Remote Operation function
is complete and the engine will
turn off. • Check that all smart keys are
outside the vehicle when using
Remote Operation function.
• Remote Operation function will operate only when the smart key is
within 13 ft. (4 m) from the vehicle. If
there is no vehicle movement even
when the Forward or Backward
button is pressed on the smart key,
check the distance to the vehicle
and press the button again.
• The detecting range of the smart key may vary depending on the
surroundings that are affected by
radio waves such as transmission
tower, broadcast station, etc.
• When remotely moving forward using method (1), it is recognized
as an exit situation, and the
vehicle moves 13 ft. (4 m) to
check for pedestrians, animals or
objects around the vehicle. After
confirmation, the steering wheel
is controlled according to the
condition ahead.
• When remotely moving forward using method (2), it is recognized
as a parking situation, and will
immediately control the steering
wheel according to the condition
ahead to assist with entering the
parking space and aligning the
vehicle. However, performance
may reduce depending on the
pedestrians, animals, shape of
objects, location, etc. around the
vehicle.
• For moving remotely backward, both method (1) and (2) aligns the
steering wheel first, and then will
only move the vehicle straight.
• When remotely moving forward or backward is completed, the vehicle
will automatically shift to P (Park)
and engage EPB (Electronic Parking
Brake).

Emergency Situations8-4
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START

[ Be sure to shift the gear to N (Neutral)
or P (Park). The engine starts only
when the gear is in N (Neutral) or P
(Park).

[ This vehicle does not have a regular
12V battery that needs periodic
replacement. It is lithium ion polymer
type integrated into the HEV high
voltage battery. The vehicle has a
12V battery protection system that
cuts 12V battery from vehicle draw
to prevent full discharge. If vehicle
will not start, first try pressing the
12V Battery Reset switch (left side of
the steering wheel near the fuel door
open switch) to reconnect the 12V
battery, but you must start vehicle
within 15 seconds of pressing the 12V
Battery Reset switch. After starting
the vehicle (
indicator ON ),
operate the vehicle safely outdoors in
ready mode stopped and/or drive it
for 30 minutes total to charge the 12V
battery fully.

[ Check the fuel level and add fuel if
necessary.
If the vehicle still does not start, call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
NOTICE
Push or pull starting the vehicle may
cause the catalytic converter to
overload which can lead to damage to
the emission control system.

Emergency Situations8-20
WARNING
Do not use the tire sealant after the
sealant has expired (for example, past
the expiration date on the sealant
container). This can increase the risk of
tire failure.
WARNING

[ Keep out of reach of children.

[ Avoid contact with eyes.

[ Do not swallow.
Using the Tire Mobility Kit
WARNING
ONX4080010
Detach the speed restriction label (1)
from the sealant bottle (2), and place
it in a highly visible place inside the
vehicle such as on the steering wheel to
remind the driver not to drive too fast.

Emergency Towing
„Front
ONX4080019
„Rear
ONX4H080002
If towing is necessary, have it done by
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a
commercial tow truck service.
If a towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using a cable or chain
secured to the emergency towing 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 in good condition.
CAUTION
The driver must be in the vehicle for
steering and braking operations when
the vehicle is being towed. Passengers
other than the driver must not be in the
vehicle.
Always follow these emergency towing
precautions:

[Place the ignition switch in the ACC
position so the steering wheel is not
locked.

[ Place the shift button in N (Neutral).

[ Release the parking brake.

[ Depress the brake pedal with more
force than normal as you will have
reduced braking performance.

[ More steering effort will be required
because the power steering 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
frequently.

[ Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged.

[ Fasten the towing cable or chain
securely to the hook.

[ Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady
and even force.

Maintenance9-6
While operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes

steering effort or looseness in the
steering wheel, or change in its
straight-ahead position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling on smooth, level road.
• When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transmission occurs,
check the transmission fluid level.
