WARNING

Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness and

death.

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which cannot be seen or smelled.

Do not inhale engine exhaust.

If at any time you smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows

immediately. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.

Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.

The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to change the

oil or for any other purpose. If you hear a change in the sound of the exhaust or if you

drive over something that strikes the underneath side of the vehicle, we recommend

that the exhaust system be checked as soon as possible by a HYUNDAI authorised

repairer.

Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.

Letting the engine idle in your garage, even with the garage door open, is a hazardous

practice. Run the engine only long enough to start the engine and to move the vehicle

out of the garage.

Avoid idling the engine for prolonged periods with people inside the vehicle.

If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period with people inside the

vehicle, be sure to do so only in an open area with the air intake set at “Fresh” and fan

control set to high so fresh air is drawn into the interior.

Keep the air intakes clear.

To assure proper operation of the ventilation system, keep the ventilation air intakes

located in front of the windscreen clear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.

If you must drive with the tailgate open:

Close all windows.

Open instrument panel air vents.

Set the air intake control at “Fresh”, the air flow control at “Floor” or “Face”, and the

fan control set to high.

Driving your vehicle

BEFORE DRIVING

Before entering the vehicle

WARNING

śꢀ Be sure all windows, outside mirror(s),

and outside lights are clean and

unobstructed.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS

INJURY or DEATH, take the following

precautions:

śꢀ Remove frost, snow, or ice.

śꢀ Visually check the tyres for uneven

wear and damage.

śꢀ Check under the vehicle for any sign

of leaks.

śꢀ Be sure there are no obstacles behind

you if you intend to back up.

śꢀ ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All

passengers must be properly belted

whenever the vehicle is moving. For

more details, refer to “Seat Belts” in

chapter 3.

śꢀ Always drive defensively. Assume

other drivers or pedestrians may be

careless and make mistakes.

śꢀ Stay focused on the task of driving.

Driver distraction can cause

accidents.

śꢀ Leave plenty of space between you

and the vehicle in front of you.

Before starting

śꢀ Make sure the bonnet, the tailgate,

and the doors are securely closed and

locked.

śꢀ Adjust the position of the seat and

steering wheel.

śꢀ Adjust the inside and outside rearview

mirrors.

WARNING

NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.

Drinking or taking drugs and driving

is dangerous and may result in an

accident and SERIOUS INJURY or

DEATH.

Drunk driving is the number one

contributor to the highway death

toll each year. Even a small amount

of alcohol will affect your reflexes,

perceptions and judgment. Just

one drink can reduce your ability to

respond to changing conditions and

emergencies and your reaction time

gets worse with each additional drink.

śꢀ Verify all the lights work.

śꢀ Fasten your seat belt. Check that all

passengers have fastened their seat

belts.

śꢀ Check the gauges and indicators in the

instrument panel and the messages

on the instrument display when the

ignition switch is in the ON position.

śꢀ Check that any items you are carrying

are stored properly or fastened down

securely.

Driving whilst under the influence

of drugs is as dangerous or more

dangerous than driving under the

influence of alcohol.

You are much more likely to have a

serious accident if you drink or take

drugs and drive. If you are drinking or

taking drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride

with a driver who has been drinking

or taking drugs. Choose a designated

driver or call a taxi.

parts. Unexpected and sudden

vehicle movement can occur.

śꢀ NEVER reach through the steering

wheel for the ignition switch, or any

other control, whilst the vehicle is in

motion. The presence of your hand

or arm in this area may cause a loss

of vehicle control resulting in an

accident.

OIB054010

Manual transmission operation

The manual transmission has 5 (or 6)

forward gears. The transmission is fully

synchronized in all forward gears so

shifting to either a higher or a lower gear

is easily accomplished

6-13

Driving your vehicle

Using the clutch (if equipped)

The clutch pedal should be depressed all

the way to the floor before:

- Starting the engine

The engine will not start without

depressing the clutch pedal.

Downshifting

Downshift when you must slow down in

heavy traffic or drive up a steep hill to

prevent engine load.

Also, downshifting reduces the chance

of stalling and can accelerate when you

need to increase your speed again.

When the vehicle is going downhill,

downshifting helps maintain safe speed

by providing brake power from the

engine and enables less wear on the

brakes.

- Shifting

To start your vehicle, slowly release

the clutch pedal and depress the

accelerator.

When releasing the clutch pedal, release

it slowly. The clutch pedal should always

be released whilst driving.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the engine,

clutch and transmission:

NOTICE

To prevent unnecessary wear or

damage to the clutch:

śꢀ Do not rest your foot on the clutch

pedal whilst driving.

śꢀ Do not hold the vehicle with the

clutch on an incline, whilst waiting

for the traffic light, etc.

śꢀ Always depress the clutch pedal

down fully to prevent noise or

damage.

śꢀ Do not start with the 2nd (second)

gear engaged except when you start

on a slippery road.

śꢀ When downshifting the 5th gear

to the 4th gear, be careful not to

inadvertently push the shift lever

sideways engaging the 2nd gear.

A drastic downshift may cause the

engine speed to increase to the point

the tachometer will enter the red-

zone.

śꢀ Do not downshift more than two

gear at a time or downshift the gear

when the engine is running at high

speed (5,000 RPM or higher). Such

a downshifting may damage the

engine, clutch and the transmission.

śꢀ Depress the clutch pedal all the way

and be careful not to depress the

pedal again before returning to the

upright position after you release

the pedal. If you depress the pedal

before returning to the original

position repeatedly, it may cause the

clutch system failure.

CAUTION

śꢀ When downshifting from fifth gear

to fourth gear, caution should be

taken not to inadvertently press the

shift lever sideways in such a manner

that the second gear is engaged.

Such a drastic downshift may cause

the engine speed to increase to the

point that the tachometer will enter

the red-zone. Such overrevving of

the engine and transmission may

possibly cause engine damage.

śꢀ Do not downshift more than 2 gears

or downshift the gear when the

engine is running at high speed

(5,000 RPM or higher). Such a

downshifting may damage the

engine, clutch and the transmission.

śꢀ During cold weather, shifting may

be difficult until the transmission

lubricant is warmed up. This is

normal and not harmful to the

transmission.

Never operate the engine with the

tachometer (rpm) in the red zone.

śꢀ If you’ve come to a complete stop

and it’s hard to shift into the 1st gear

or R(Reverse), leave the shift lever at

N(Neutral) position and release the

clutch. Press the clutch pedal back

down, and then shift into the 1st gear

or R(Reverse) gear position.

6-17

Driving your vehicle

śꢀ To avoid premature clutch wear

and damage, do not drive with your

foot resting on the clutch pedal.

Also, don’t use the clutch to hold the

vehicle stopped on an uphill grade,

whilst waiting for a traffic light, etc.

śꢀ Do not use the shift lever as a

handrest during driving, as this can

result in premature wear of the

transmission shift forks.

Using the clutch

The clutch should be pressed all the way

to the floor before shifting, then released

slowly. The clutch pedal should always

be fully released whilst driving. Do not

rest your foot on the clutch pedal whilst

driving. This can cause unnecessary

wear. Do not partially engage the clutch

to hold the vehicle on an incline. This

causes unnecessary wear. Use the

foot brake or parking brake to hold the

vehicle on an incline. Do not operate the

clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.

śꢀ To prevent possible damage to the

clutch system, do not start with the

2nd (second) gear engaged except

when you start on a slippery road.

CAUTION

WARNING

When operating the clutch pedal, press

the clutch pedal down fully. If you don’t

press the clutch pedal fully, the clutch

may be damaged or noise may occur.

śꢀ Before leaving the driver’s seat,

always set the parking brake fully

and shut the engine off. Then make

sure the transmission is shifted into

the 1st gear when the vehicle is

parked on a level or uphill grade, and

shifted into R (Reverse) on a downhill

grade. Unexpected and sudden

vehicle movement can occur if these

precautions are not followed in the

order identified.

Downshifting

When you must slow down in heavy

traffic or whilst driving up steep hills,

downshift before the engine starts to

labour. Downshifting reduces the chance

of stalling and gives better acceleration

when you again need to increase your

speed. When the vehicle is traveling

down steep hills, downshifting helps

maintain safe speed and prolongs brake

life.

WARNING

śꢀ Never take the vehicle out of gear and

coast down a hill. This is extremely

hazardous. Always leave the vehicle

in gear.

śꢀ Don’t “ride” the brakes. This can cause

them to overheat and malfunction.

Instead, when you are driving down a

long hill, shift to a lower gear. When

you do this, the engine braking will

help slow down the vehicle.

śꢀ Slow down before shifting to a lower

gear. This will help avoid over-revving

the engine, which can cause damage.

śꢀ Slow down when you encounter cross

winds. This gives you much better

control of your vehicle.

śꢀ Be sure the vehicle is completely

stopped before you attempt to shift

into reverse. The transmission can be

damaged if you do not.

śꢀ Exercise extreme caution when driving

on a slippery surface. Be especially

careful when braking, accelerating or

shifting gears. On a slippery surface,

an abrupt change in vehicle speed can

cause the drive wheels to lose traction

and the vehicle to go out of control.

śꢀ Always buckle-up! In a collision, an

off and a serious accident might be

occurred due to the degraded brake

performance.

WARNING

When you stay in the vehicle with

the engine running, be careful not to

depress the accelerator pedal for a long

period of time. The engine or exhaust

system may overheat and start a fire.

The exhaust gas and the exhaust

system are very hot. Keep away from

the exhaust system components.

Do not stop or park over flammable

materials, such as dry grass, paper or

leaves. They may ignite and cause a

fire.

śꢀ Do not drive with your foot resting

on the brake pedal. Even light, but

consistent pedal pressure can result

in the brakes overheating, brake wear

and possibly even brake failure.

śꢀ When driving in manual shift mode,

slow down before shifting to a lower

gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may

not be engaged if the engine rpms are

outside of the allowable range.

śꢀ Always apply the parking brake when

leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on

placing the transmission in P (Park) to

keep the vehicle from moving.

śꢀ Exercise extreme caution when driving

on a slippery surface. Be especially

careful when braking, accelerating or

shifting gears. On a slippery surface,

an abrupt change in vehicle speed can

cause the drive wheels to lose traction

Dual clutch transmission operation

The dual clutch transmission has seven forward speeds and one reverse speed. The

individual speeds are selected automatically when the shift lever is in the D (Drive)

position.

śꢀ The dual clutch transmission can be thought of as an automatically shifting manual

transmission. It gives the driving feel of a manual transmission, yet provides the

ease of a fully automatic transmission.

śꢀ When D (Drive) is selected, the transmission will automatically shift through

the gears similar to a conventional automatic transmission. Unlike a traditional

automatic transmission, the gear shifting can sometimes be felt and heard as the

actuators engage the clutches and the gears are selected.

6-26

06

śꢀ The dual clutch transmission

śꢀ When you turn the engine on and off,

incorporates a dry-type dual clutch

mechanism, which allows for better

acceleration performance and

you may hear clicking sounds as the

system goes through a self-test. This

is a normal sound for the dual clutch

transmission.

increased fuel efficiency whilst driving.

But it differs from a conventional

automatic transmission because

it does not incorporate a torque

converter. Instead, the transition from

one gear to the next is managed by

clutch slip, especially at lower speeds.

śꢀ During the first 1000 miles (1,500 km),

you may feel that the vehicle may not

be smooth when accelerating at low

speed. During this break-in period, the

shift quality and performance of your

new vehicle is continuously optimized.

As a result, shifts are sometimes more

noticeable, and a light vibration can be

felt as the transmission shaft speed is

matched with the engine shaft speed.

This is a normal condition of the dual

clutch transmission.

śꢀ The dry-type clutch transfers torque

more directly and provides a direct-

drive feeling which may feel different

from a conventional automatic

transmission. This may be more

noticeable when launching the vehicle

from a stop or when traveling at low,

stop-and-go vehicle speeds.

śꢀ When rapidly accelerating from a

lower vehicle speed, the engine

rpm may increase dramatically as a

result of clutch slip as the dual clutch

transmission selects the correct gear.

This is a normal condition.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death:

śꢀ ALWAYS check the surrounding

areas near your vehicle for people,

especially children, before shifting a

vehicle into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).

śꢀ Before leaving the driver’s seat,

always make sure the shift lever

is in the P (Park) position, then set

the parking brake, and place the

ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF

position. Unexpected and sudden

vehicle movement can occur if these

precautions are not followed.

śꢀ Do not use aggressive engine braking

(shifting from a higher gear to a lower

gear) on slippery roads. This could

cause the tyres to slip and may result

6-33

Driving your vehicle

śꢀ Optimum vehicle performance

and fuel economy is obtained by

smoothly depressing and releasing the

accelerator.

Good driving practices

śꢀ Never move the shift lever from P

(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other

position with the accelerator pedal

depressed.

śꢀ Never move the shift lever into P

(Park) when the vehicle is in motion.

Be sure the vehicle is completely

stopped before you attempt to shift

into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).

śꢀ Do not move the shift lever to N

(Neutral) when driving. Doing so may

result in an accident because of a loss

of engine braking and the transmission

could be damaged.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY

or DEATH:

śꢀ ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a

collision, an unbelted occupant

is significantly more likely to be

seriously injured or killed than a

properly belted occupant.

śꢀ Avoid high speeds when cornering or

turning.

śꢀ Driving uphill or downhill, always shift

to D (Drive) when driving forward or to

R (Reverse) when driving backwards,

and check the gear position indicated

on the cluster before driving. If you

drive in the opposite direction of the

selected gear, the engine will turn

off and a serious accident might be

occurred due to the degraded brake

performance.

śꢀ Do not drive with your foot resting

on the brake pedal. Even light, but

consistent pedal pressure can result

in the brakes overheating, brake wear

and possibly even brake failure.

śꢀ When driving in manual shift mode,

slow down before shifting to a lower

gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may

not be engaged if the engine rpms are

outside of the allowable range.

śꢀ Always apply the parking brake when

leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on

placing the transmission in P (Park) to

keep the vehicle from moving.

śꢀ Do not make quick steering wheel

movements, such as sharp lane

changes or fast, sharp turns.

śꢀ The risk of rollover is greatly

increased if you lose control of your

vehicle at highway speeds.

śꢀ Loss of control often occurs if two or

more wheels drop off the roadway

and the driver over steers to reenter

the roadway.

śꢀ In the event your vehicle leaves

the roadway, do not steer sharply.

Instead, slow down before pulling

back into the travel lanes.

śꢀ HYUNDAI recommends you follow all

posted speed limits.

usage.

ability to safely slow down; the

vehicle may also pull to one side

when the brakes are applied.

Applying the brakes lightly will

indicate whether they have been

affected in this way. Always test your

brakes in this fashion after driving

through deep water. To dry the

brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to

heat up the brakes whilst maintaining

a safe forward speed until brake

performance returns to normal.

Avoid driving at high speeds until the

brakes function correctly.

If the engine is not running or is turned

off whilst driving, the power assist for

the brakes will not work. You can still

stop your vehicle by applying greater

force to the brake pedal than typical.

The stopping distance, however, will be

longer than with power brakes.

When the engine is not running, the

reserve brake power is partially depleted

each time the brake pedal is applied.

Do not pump the brake pedal when the

power assist has been interrupted.

Disc brakes wear indicator

Pump the brake pedal only when

necessary to maintain steering control

on slippery surfaces.

When your brake pads are worn and new

pads are required, you will hear a high

pitched warning sound from your front

or rear brakes. You may hear this sound

come and go or it may occur whenever

you depress the brake pedal.

Note that some driving conditions or

climates may cause a brake squeal

when you first apply (or lightly apply)

the brakes. This is normal and does not

indicate a problem with your brakes.

WARNING

Take the following precautions:

śꢀ Do not drive with your foot resting

on the brake pedal. This will create

abnormal high brake temperatures,

excessive brake lining and pad wear,

and increased stopping distances.

śꢀ When descending down a long or

steep hill, downshift to a lower

gear in order to control your

speed without using the brake

pedal excessively. Applying the

brakes continuously will cause

the brakes to overheat and could

result in a temporary loss of braking

performance.

NOTICE

To avoid costly brake repairs, do not

continue to drive with worn brake pads.

Vehicle Stability Management

(VSM)

The ESC OFF mode should only be used

briefly to help free the vehicle if stuck in

snow or mud, by temporarily stopping

operation of the ESC, to maintain wheel

torque.

To turn ESC off whilst driving, press the

ESC OFF button whilst driving on a flat

road surface.

The Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)

is a function of the Electronic Stability

Control (ESC) system. It helps ensure the

vehicle stays stable when accelerating

or braking suddenly on wet, slippery and

rough roads where traction over the four

tyres can suddenly become uneven.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when

using the Vehicle Stability Management

(VSM):

Multi-Collision Brake is cancelled in the

following situations:

- The accelerator pedal is depressed

over a certain level.

- The vehicle stops.

Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)

Multi-Collision Brake controls the brake

automatically in the event of an accident

where the air bag deploys to reduce the

risk of additional accidents that may

occur.

- There is malfunction of ESC (Electronic

Stability Control) or system cannot

operate normally.

- Ten seconds have passed since

the brake has been controlled

automatically by Multi-Collision Brake

system.

System operation

śꢀ From the time the air bag deploys

Multi-Collision Brake monitors the

depression intensity of the brake

pedal and accelerator pedal for a short

period. The system operates when the

following conditions are met:

- The vehicle speed is under 112 mph

(180 km/h) at the time of collision.

- The brake pedal and accelerator

pedal is hardly depressed.

śꢀ When the driver steps on the brake

pedal over a certain level whilst

Multi-Collision Brake is active, the

braking power takes priority over

automatic braking by Multi-Collision

Brake system. However, if the driver

takes his/her foot off the brake pedal,

automatic braking by Multi-Collision

Brake system will maintain automatic

braking.

WARNING

śꢀ Multi-Collision Brake decreases

the vehicle speed after a collision,

but it does not prevent the second

collision. You may drive away from

the collision spot to avoid other

dangerous situations by depressing

the accelerator pedal.

śꢀ After the vehicle is stopped by Multi-

Collision Brake, the system stops

controlling the brakes. Depending

on the situation, the driver should

depress the brake or the accelerator

pedal to prevent further accidents.

6-44

06

Wet brakes can be dangerous! The

brakes may get wet if the vehicle is

driven through standing water or if it is

washed.

Your vehicle will not stop as quickly if

the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may

cause the vehicle to pull to one side.

Good braking practices

WARNING

Whenever leaving the vehicle or

parking, always come to a complete

stop and continue to depress the brake

pedal. Move the shift lever into the 1st

gear (for Manual transmission vehicle)

or N (Neutral) position (for Automatic

transmission/Dual clutch transmission

vehicle), then apply the parking brake,

and place the ignition switch in the

LOCK/OFF position.

To dry the brakes, apply the brakes

lightly until the braking action returns to

normal. If the braking action does not

return to normal, stop as soon as it is

safe to do so and we recommend that

you call a HYUNDAI authorised repairer

for assistance.

DO NOT drive with your foot resting on

the brake pedal. Even light, but constant

pedal pressure can result in the brakes

overheating, brake wear, and possibly

even brake failure.

If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving,

apply the brakes gently and keep the

vehicle pointed straight ahead whilst you

slow down. When you are moving slowly

enough for it to be safe to do so, pull off

the road and stop in a safe location.

Vehicles parked with the parking brake

not applied or not fully engaged may

roll inadvertently and may cause injury

to the driver and others. ALWAYS apply

the parking brake before exiting the

vehicle.

Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal

when the vehicle is stopped to prevent

the vehicle from rolling forward.

Hazardous driving conditions

Rocking the vehicle

When hazardous driving elements are

encountered such as water, snow,

ice, mud and sand, take the following

precautions:

śꢀ Drive cautiously and maintain a longer

braking distance.

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 the

1st gear and R (Reverse, for manual

transmission vehicle) or R (Reverse)

and a forward gear (for Automatic

transmission vehicle/Dual clutch

transmission vehicle).

śꢀ Avoid abrupt braking or steering.

śꢀ When your vehicle is stuck in snow,

mud, or sand, use the second

gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid

unnecessary wheel spin.

śꢀ Put sand, rock salt, tyre chains or

other non-slip materials under the

wheels to provide additional traction

whilst the vehicle becomes stuck in

ice, snow, or mud.

Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do

not race the engine.

To prevent transmission wear, wait until

the wheels stop spinning before shifting

gears. Release the accelerator pedal

whilst shifting, and press lightly on the

accelerator pedal whilst the transmission

is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in

forward and reverse directions causes

a rocking motion that may free the

vehicle.

WARNING

Downshifting with an Automatic

transmission, whilst driving on slippery

surfaces can cause an accident. The

sudden change in tyre speed could

cause the tyres to skid. Be careful when

downshifting on slippery surfaces.

WARNING

If the vehicle is stuck and excessive

wheel spin occurs, the temperature

in the tyres can increase very quickly.

If the tyres become damaged, a tyre

blow out or tyre explosion can occur.

This condition is dangerous - you and

others may be injured. Do not attempt

this procedure if people or objects are

anywhere near the vehicle.

If you attempt to free the vehicle, the

vehicle can overheat quickly, possibly

causing an engine compartment fire or

other damages. Try to avoid spinning

the wheels as much as possible to

prevent overheating of either the tyres

or the engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle

to spin the wheels above 35 mph (56

km/h).

NOTICE

Driving in the rain

If you are still stuck after rocking the

vehicle a few times, have the vehicle

pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid

engine overheating, possible damage

to the transmission, and tyre damage.

See “Towing” in chapter 8.

Hydroplaning

Highway driving

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 tyre tread decreases, refer

to “Tyre replacement” in chapter 9.

Tyres

Adjust the tyre inflation, as specified.

Under-inflation may overheat or damage

the tyres.

Do not install worn-out or damaged

tyres, which may reduce traction or fail

the braking operation.

Avoid driving through flooded areas

unless you are sure the water is no

higher than the bottom of the wheel

hub. Drive through any water slowly.

Allow adequate stopping distance

because brake performance may be

reduced.

After driving through water, dry the

brakes by gently applying them several

times whilst the vehicle is moving

slowly.

Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil

Driving at higher speeds on the highway

consumes more fuel and is less efficient

than driving at a slower, more moderate

speed. Maintain a moderate speed in

order to conserve fuel when driving on

the highway.

Be sure to check both the engine

coolant level and the engine oil before

driving.

WINTER DRIVING

The severe weather conditions of winter

quickly wear out tyres and cause other

problems. To minimise winter driving

problems, you should take the following

suggestions:

Snow tyres

WARNING

Snow tyres should be equivalent

in size and type to the vehicle’s

standard tyres. Otherwise, the safety

and handling of your vehicle may be

adversely affected.

Snow or icy conditions

You need to keep sufficient distance

between your vehicle and the vehicle in

front of you.

Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid

acceleration, sudden brake applications,

and sharp turns are potentially

very hazardous practices. During

deceleration, use engine braking to the

fullest extent. Sudden brake applications

on snowy or icy roads may cause the

vehicle to skid.

If you mount snow tyres on your vehicle,

make sure to use radial tyres of the same

size and load range as the original tyres.

Mount snow tyres on all four wheels

to balance your vehicle’s handling in

all weather conditions. The traction

provided by snow tyres on dry roads

may not be as high as your vehicle’s

original equipment tyres. Check with

the tyre dealer for maximum speed

recommendations.

To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it

may be necessary to use snow tyres or

to install tyre chains on your tyres.

Always carry emergency equipment.

Some of the items you may want to

carry include tyre chains, tow straps or

chains, a flashlight, emergency flares,

sand, a shovel, jumper cables, a window

scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls,

a blanket, etc.

Tyre chains

WARNING

The use of tyre chains may adversely

affect vehicle handling:

śꢀ Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h)

or the chain manufacturer’s

recommended speed limit,

whichever is lower.

śꢀ Drive carefully and avoid bumps,

holes, sharp turns, and other road

hazards, which may cause the vehicle

to bounce.

śꢀ Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel

braking.

OBC3060010

Since the sidewalls of radial tyres are

thinner than other types of tyres, they

may be damaged by mounting some

types of tyre chains on them. Therefore,

the use of snow tyres is recommended

instead of tyre chains. Do not mount

tyre chains on vehicles equipped with

aluminium wheels; if unavoidable use a

wire type chain. If tyre chains must be

used, use genuine HYUNDAI parts and

install the tyre chain after reviewing

the instructions provided with the tyre

chains. Damage to your vehicle caused

by improper tyre chain use is not

covered by your vehicle manufacturer’s

warranty.

Winter Precautions

When installing tyre chains, follow the

manufacturer’s instructions and mount

them as tightly possible. Drive slowly

(less than 20 mph (30 km/h)) with

chains installed. If you hear the chains

contacting the body or chassis, stop and

tighten them. If they still make contact,

slow down until the noise stops. Remove

the tyre chains as soon as you begin

driving on cleared roads.

When mounting snow chains, park

the vehicle on level ground away from

traffic. Turn on the vehicle Hazard

Warning Flasher and place a triangular

emergency warning device behind the

vehicle (if available). Always place the

vehicle in P (Park), apply the parking

brake and turn off the engine before

installing snow chains.

Use high quality ethylene glycol coolant

Your vehicle is delivered with high

quality ethylene glycol coolant in the

cooling system. It is the only type of

coolant that should be used because it

helps prevent corrosion in the cooling

system, lubricates the water pump and

prevents freezing. Be sure to replace or

replenish your coolant in accordance

with the maintenance schedule. Before

winter, have your coolant tested to

assure that its freezing point is sufficient

for the temperatures anticipated during

the winter.

Check battery and cables

Winter temperatures affect battery

performance. Inspect the battery and

cables, as specified in the chapter

9. The battery charging level can be

checked by a HYUNDAI authorised

repairer or in a service station.

NOTICE

When using tyre chains:

śꢀ Wrong size chains or improperly

installed chains can damage your

vehicle’s brake lines, suspension,

body and wheels.

Change to “winter weight” oil if

necessary

In some regions during winter, it is

recommended to use the “winter

weight” oil with lower viscosity. For

further information, refer to the chapter

2. When you are not sure about a type

of winter weight oil, consult a HYUNDAI

authorised repairer.

śꢀ Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.

śꢀ If you hear noise caused by chains

contacting the body, retighten the

chain to prevent contact with the

vehicle body.

śꢀ To prevent body damage, retighten

the chains after driving 0.3~0.6 miles

(0.5~1.0 km).

śꢀ Do not use tyre chains on vehicles

equipped with aluminium wheels. If

unavoidable, use a wire type chain.

śꢀ Use wire chains less than 0.47 in (12

mm) wide to prevent damage to the

chain’s connection.

6-63

Driving your vehicle

Check spark plugs and ignition system

Do not let ice and snow accumulate

underneath

Inspect the spark plugs, as specified

in the chapter 9. If necessary, replace

them. Also check all ignition wirings and

components for any cracks, wear-out,

and damage.

Under some conditions, snow and ice

can build up under the fenders and

interfere with the steering. When driving

in such conditions during the severe

winter, you should check underneath

the vehicle on a regular basis, to ensure

that the front wheels and the steering

components is unblocked.

To prevent locks from freezing

To prevent the locks from being frozen,

spray approved de-icing fluid or glycerin

into key holes. When a lock opening is

already covered with ice, spray approved

de-icing fluid over the ice to remove it.

When an internal part of a lock freezes,

try to thaw it with a heated key. Carefully

use the heated key to avoid an injury.

Carry emergency equipment

In accordance with weather conditions,

you should carry appropriate emergency

equipment, whilst driving. Some of the

items you may want to carry include tyre

chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight,

emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper

cables, window scraper, gloves, ground

cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.

Use approved window washer anti-

freeze solution in system

To prevent the window washer from

being frozen, add authorised window

washer anti-freeze solution, as specified

on the window washer container.

Do not place objects or materials in the

engine compartment

Window washer anti-freeze solution is

available from a HYUNDAI authorised

repairer, and most vehicle accessory

outlets. Do not use engine coolant or
