Emergency situations
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WHILST DRIVING
If the engine stalls whilst driving
śꢀ Reduce your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
If you have a flat tyre whilst
driving
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving:
śꢀ Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
whilst driving straight ahead. Do
not apply the brakes immediately or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident. 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
firm, level ground. If you are on a
divided highway, do not park in the
median area between the two traffic
lanes.
śꢀ Turn on your hazard warning flasher.
śꢀ Try to start the engine again. If your
vehicle will not start, we recommend
that you contact a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
If the engine stalls at a
crossroad or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroads or
crossing, if safe to do so, move the shift
lever to the N (Neutral) position and then
push the vehicle to a safe location.
śꢀ When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
move the shift lever into P (Park, for
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) or neutral
(for manual transmission vehicle),
apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.
śꢀ 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.
śꢀ When changing a flat tyre, follow
the instructions provided later in this
chapter.
