IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

WHILE DRIVING

ROAD WARNING

It should be used whenever emergency

repairs are being made or when the vehi-

cle is stopped near the edge of a road-

way.

To turn the hazard warning flasher on or

off, press the hazard warning flasher but-

ton with the ignition switch in any posi-

tion. The button is located in the center

console switch panel. All turn signal

lights will flash simultaneously.

If the engine stalls at a crossroad

or crossing

• If the engine stalls at a crossroad or

crossing, set the shift lever in the N

(Neutral) position and then push the

vehicle to a safe place.

• If your vehicle has a manual transaxle

not equipped with a ignition lock

switch, the vehicle can move forward

by shifting to the 2(second) or 3(third)

gear and then turning the starter with-

out depressing the clutch pedal.

• The hazard warning flasher operates

whether your vehicle is running or not.

• The turn signals do not work when the

hazard flasher is on.

OBA043027L

Hazard warning flasher

The hazard warning flasher serves as a

warning to other drivers to exercise

extreme caution when approaching,

overtaking, or passing your vehicle.

If you have a flat tire while driving

If a tire goes flat while you are driving:

1.Take your foot off the accelerator pedal

and let the vehicle slow down while

driving straight ahead. Do not apply the

brakes immediately or attempt to pull

off the road as this may cause a loss of

control. When the vehicle has slowed

to such a speed that it is safe to do so,

brake carefully and pull off the road.

Drive off the road as far as possible

and park on a firm level ground. If you

are on a divided highway, do not park

in the median area between the two

traffic lanes.

What to do in an emergency

IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START

2.When the vehicle is stopped, turn on

your hazard warning flasher, set the

parking brake and put the transaxle in

P (automatic transaxle) or reverse

(manual transaxle).

3.Have all passengers get out of the

vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the

side of the vehicle that is away from

traffic.

If the engine doesn't turn over or

turns over slowly

1.If your vehicle has an automatic

transaxle, be sure the shift lever is in N

(Neutral) or P (Park) and the emer-

gency brake is set.

2.Check the battery connections to be

sure they are clean and tight.

3.Turn on the interior light. If the light

dims or goes out when you operate the

starter, the battery is discharged.

If the engine turns over normally

but does not start

1.Check the fuel level.

2.With the ignition switch in the LOCK/

OFF position, check all connectors at

the ignition coils and spark plugs.

Reconnect any that may be discon-

nected or loose.

3.Check the fuel line in the engine com-

partment.

4.When changing a flat tire, follow the

instruction provided later in this chap-

ter.

4.If the engine still does not start, we rec-

ommend that you call an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

4.Check the starter connections to be

sure they are securely tightened.

5.Do not push or pull the vehicle to start

it. See instructions for "Jump starting".

If the engine stalls while driving

What to do in an emergency

JUMP STARTING

Jump starting can be dangerous if done

incorrectly. Follow the jump starting pro-

cedure in this section to avoid serious

injury or damage to your vehicle. If in

doubt about how to properly jump start

your vehicle, we strongly recommend

that you have a service technician or tow-

ing service do it for you.

WARNING

If acid gets into your eyes, flush

your eyes with clean water for at

least 15 minutes and get immediate

medical attention. If acid gets on

your skin, thoroughly wash the

area. If you feel pain or a burning

sensation, get medical attention

immediately.

• When lifting a plastic-cased bat-

tery, excessive pressure on the

case may cause battery acid to

leak. Lift with a battery carrier or

with your hands on opposite cor-

ners.

• Do not attempt to jump start your

vehicle if your battery is frozen.

• NEVER attempt to recharge the

battery when the vehicle’s battery

cables are connected to the bat-

tery.

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or

DEATH to you or bystanders,

always follow these precautions

when working near or handling the

battery:

Always read and follow

instructions carefully when

handling a battery.

Wear

eye

protection

designed to protect the

eyes from acid splashes.

Keep all flames, sparks, or

smoking materials away

from the battery.

Hydrogen is always present

in battery cells, is highly

combustible, and may

explode if ignited.

Keep batteries out of reach

of children.

• The electrical ignition system

works with high voltage. NEVER

touch these components with the

engine running or when the igni-

tion switch is in the ON position.

Batteries contain sulfuric

acid which is highly corro-

sive. Do not allow acid to

contact your eyes, skin or

clothing.

What to do in an emergency

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

If your temperature gauge indicates over-

heating, you will experience a loss of

power, or hear loud pinging or knocking

sound, the engine will probably be too

hot. If this happens, you should:

6.If you cannot find the cause of the

overheating, wait until the engine tem-

perature has returned to normal. Then,

if coolant has been lost, carefully add

coolant to the reservoir to bring the

fluid level in the reservoir up to the

halfway mark.

7.Proceed with caution, keeping alert for

further signs of overheating. If over-

heating happens again, we recom-

mend that you call an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

WARNING

While the engine is running, keep

hair, hands and clothing away from

moving parts such as the fan and

drive belts to prevent injury.

1.Pull the vehicle off the road and stop

as soon as it is safe to do so.

5.If the water pump drive belt is broken

or engine coolant is leaking out, stop

the engine immediately and we recom-

mend that you call an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

2.Place the shift lever in P (automatic

transaxle)

or

Neutral

(manual

transaxle) and set the parking brake. If

the air conditioning is on, turn it off.

3.If engine coolant is running out under

the vehicle or steam is coming out

from the hood, stop the engine. Do not

open the hood until the coolant has

stopped running 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 operat-

ing. If the fan is not running, turn the

engine off.

CAUTION

WARNING

Serious loss of coolant indicates

there is a leak in the cooling system

and we recommend that the system

be checked by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer.

Do not remove the radiator cap

when the engine is hot. This can

allow coolant to be blown out of the

opening and cause serious burns.

4.Check to see if the water pump drive

belt is missing. If it is not missing,

check to see that it is tight. If the drive

belt seems to be satisfactory, check

for coolant leakage from the radiator,

hoses or under the vehicle. (If the air

conditioning had been in use, it is nor-

mal for cold water to be draining from it

when you stop).

9.Loosen the wheel lug nuts and

remove them with your fingers.

Slide the wheel off the studs and

lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To

put the wheel on the hub, pick up

the spare tire, line up the holes

with the studs and slide the wheel

onto them. If this is difficult, tip the

wheel slightly and get the top hole

in the wheel lined up with the top

stud. Then jiggle the wheel back

and forth until the wheel can be slid

over the other studs.

10. To install the wheel, hold it on the

studs, put the wheel nuts on the

studs and tighten them finger

tight. Jiggle the tire to be sure it is

completely seated, then tighten

the nuts as much as possible

with your fingers again.

11. Lower the vehicle to the ground

by turning the wheel nut wrench

counterclockwise.

WARNING

• Wheels and wheel covers may

have sharp edges. Handle

them carefully to avoid possi-

ble severe injury.

• Before putting the wheel into

place, be sure that there is

nothing on the hub or wheel

(such as mud, tar, gravel, etc.)

that interferes with the wheel

from fitting solidly against the

hub. If there is, remove it. If

the contact of the mounting

surface between the wheel

and hub is not good, the

wheel nuts could come loose

and cause the loss of a wheel.

Loss of a wheel may result in

loss of control of the vehicle.

This may cause serious injury

or death.

9~11 kg.m (65~79 lb.ft)

CAUTION

Your vehicle has metric threads

on the wheel studs and nuts.

Make certain during wheel

removal that the same nuts that

were removed are reinstalled -

or, if replaced, that nuts with

metric threads and the same

chamfer configuration are used.

Installation of a non-metric

thread nut on a metric stud or

vice-versa will not secure the

wheel to the hub properly and

will damage the stud so that it

must be replaced.

If you have a tire gauge, remove the

valve cap and check the air pressure.

If the pressure is lower than recom-

mended, drive slowly to the nearest

service station and inflate to the cor-

rect pressure. If it is too high, adjust

it until it is correct. Always reinstall

the valve cap after checking or

adjusting the tire pressure. If the cap

is not replaced, air may leak from the

tire. If you lose a valve cap, buy

another and install it as soon as pos-

If emergency towing is necessary, we

recommend having it done by an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial

tow-truck service. Proper lifting and tow-

ing procedures are necessary to prevent

damage to the vehicle. The use of wheel

dollies or flatbed is recommended.

For trailer towing guidelines information,

refer to “Trailer towing” in chapter 5.

It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the

rear wheels on the ground (without dol-

lies) and the front wheels off the ground.

OPA067017

CAUTION

• Do not tow the vehicle backwards

with the front wheels on the

ground as this may cause dam-

age to the vehicle.

• Do not tow with sling-type equip-

ment. Use wheel lift or flatbed

equipment.

6 15

What to do in an emergency

When towing your vehicle in an emer-

gency without wheel dollies:

1.Set the ignition switch in the ACC posi-

tion.

2.Place the transaxle shift lever in N

(Neutral).

3.Release the parking brake.

6 16

What to do in an emergency

Use extreme caution when towing the

vehicle. 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 dis-

tance and at low speeds. Also, the

wheels, axles, power train, steering and

brakes must all be in good condition.

■ Front (if equipped)

CAUTION

• Attach a towing strap to the tow-

ing hook.

• Using a portion of the vehicle

other than the tow hooks for tow-

ing may damage the body of your

vehicle.

• Do not use the towing hooks to pull a

vehicle out of mud, sand or other con-

ditions from which the vehicle cannot

be driven out under its own power.

• Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the

vehicle doing the towing.

• Use only a cable or chain specifi-

cally intended for use in towing

vehicles. Securely fasten the

cable or chain to the towing hook

provided.

OBA063012

■ Rear

• The drivers of both vehicles should

communicate with each other frequent-

ly.

• 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 it steadily

with even force.

• To avoid damaging the hook, do not

pull from the side or at a vertical angle.

Always pull straight ahead.

OBA063013

Emergency towing

If towing is necessary, we recommend

you to have it done by an authorized

HYUNDAI dealer or a commercial tow

truck service.

If towing service is not available in an

emergency, your vehicle may be tem-

porarily towed using a cable or chain

secured to the emergency towing hook

under the front (or rear) of the vehicle.

Emergency towing precautions

WARNING

• Turn the ignition switch to ACC so the

steering wheel isn’t locked.

• Place the transaxle shift lever in N

(Neutral).

Use extreme caution when towing

the vehicle.

• Avoid sudden starts or erratic

driving maneuvers which would

place excessive stress on the

emergency towing hook and tow-

ing cable or chain. The hook and

towing cable or chain may break

and cause serious injury or dam-

age.

• If the disabled vehicle is unable

to be moved, do not forcibly con-

tinue the towing. Contact an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a

commercial tow truck service for

assistance.

• Release the parking brake.

• Press the brake pedal with more force

than normal since you will have

reduced brake performance.

• More steering effort will be required

because the power steering system

will be disabled.

• If you are driving down a long hill, the

brakes may overheat and brake per-

formance will be reduced. Stop often

and let the brakes cool off.

OPA067014

• Use a towing strap less than 5 m (16

feet) long. Attach a white or red cloth

(about 30 cm (12 inches) wide) in the

middle of the strap for easy visibility.

• Drive carefully so that the towing strap

is not loosened during towing.

• Tow the vehicle as straight ahead

as possible.

• Keep away from the vehicle dur-

ing towing.

6 18

What to do in an emergency

CAUTION - Automatic

transaxle

• If the vehicle is being towed with

all four wheels on the ground, it

can be towed only from the front.

Be sure that the transaxle is in

neutral. Do not tow at speeds

greater than 40 km/h (25 mph)

and for more than 25 km (15

miles). Be sure the steering wheel

is unlocked by placing the igni-

tion switch in the ACC position. A

driver must be in the towed vehi-

cle to operate the steering wheel

and brakes.

• Before towing, check the level of

the automatic transaxle fluid. If it

is below the "HOT" range on the

dipstick, add fluid. If you cannot

add fluid, a towing dolly must be

used.
