BEFORE DRIVING  
Before entering the vehicle  
śꢀ Be sure all windows, outside mirror(s),  
and outside lights are clean and  
unobstructed.  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or  
DEATH, take the following precautions:  
śꢀ ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All  
passengers must be properly  
śꢀ Remove frost, snow, or ice.  
śꢀ Visually check the tyres for uneven  
restrained whenever the vehicle is  
moving. For more information, refer  
to “Seat Belts” section in chapter 3.  
wear and damage.  
śꢀ Check under the vehicle for any sign  
of leaks.  
śꢀ Always drive defensively. Assume  
other drivers or pedestrians may be  
careless and make mistakes.  
śꢀ Be sure there are no obstacles behind  
you if you intend to back up.  
śꢀ Stay focused on the task of driving.  
Driver distraction can cause  
accidents.  
Before starting  
śꢀ Make sure the bonnet, the tailgate,  
and the doors are securely closed and  
locked.  
śꢀ Leave plenty of space between you  
and the vehicle in front of you.  
śꢀ Adjust the position of the seat and  
steering wheel.  
WARNING  
NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.  
śꢀ Adjust the inside and outside rearview  
mirrors.  
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 vehicle 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.

śꢀ Never shift the gear into P (Park) when  
WARNING  
the vehicle is in motion.  
Be sure the vehicle is completely  
stopped before you attempt to shift  
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).  
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY  
or DEATH:  
śꢀ ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a  
collision, an unrestrained occupant  
is significantly more likely to be  
seriously injured or killed than a  
properly restrained occupant.  
śꢀ Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral)  
when driving. If the gear is shifted to  
N (Neutral) whilst driving. Doing so  
may increase the risk of an accident.  
Also, shift the gear back to D (Drive)  
whilst the vehicle is moving may  
severely damage the reduction gear.  
śꢀ Avoid high speeds when cornering or  
turning.  
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 When driving uphill or downhill,  
always shift to D (Drive) for driving  
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for  
driving rearwards. After selecting  
D (Drive) or R (Reverse), check the  
gear position indicated on the cluster  
before driving. If the vehicle moves in  
the opposite direction of the selected  
gear, the vehicle may turn off and a  
serious accident might occur due to  
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 HYUNDAI Vehicle recommends you  
to follow all posted speed limits.  
śꢀ Always apply the parking brake when  
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend  
on placing the shift gear 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 and may cause  
loss of vehicle control resulting in an  
accident.

BRAKING SYSTEM  
Power-assist brakes  
śꢀ Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's  
ability to safely decelerate. Because  
wet brakes increase braking distance  
and cause noise troubles, select 0  
step of the regenerative braking  
system and depress the brake pedal  
around 10 times, with keeping the  
safe distance from other vehicles,  
lightly in order to dry the braking  
system. Such procedure may  
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes  
that adjust automatically through normal  
usage.  
In the event of a vehicle power failure,  
the power assist for the brakes will not  
work. You can still stop your vehicle, but  
it will require greater force and increased  
pedal travel than normal. The stopping  
distance, however, will be longer than  
with power brakes.  
decrease the driving distance by  
restraining the regenerative braking  
system, which is not a system  
malfunction. Inspect the braking  
system after car wash or driving over  
wet road conditions.  
Information  
śꢀ When the brake pedal is depressed  
under certain driving conditions  
or weather conditions, you may  
temporarily hear a noise. This is  
normal and does not indicate a problem  
with your brakes.  
NOTICE  
śꢀ Do not continue depressing  
the brake pedal if the "  
"
indicator is OFF. The battery may be  
discharged.  
śꢀ Whilst driving on a road with deicing  
chemicals, brake noise or abnormal  
tire wear may occur due to deicing  
chemicals. In a safe traffic condition,  
additionally apply the brakes to remove  
deicing chemicals on the brake discs  
and pads.  
śꢀ Noise and vibration generated  
during braking is normal.  
śꢀ Under normal operation, electric  
brake pump noise and motor  
vibration may occur temporarily in  
below cases.  
- When the pedal is depressed  
WARNING  
Take the following precautions:  
suddenly.  
- When the pedal is repeatedly  
depressed in short intervals.  
- When the ABS function is activated  
whilst braking.  
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.  
So increase the regeneration braking  
level with the left paddle shift lever  
to decrease the speed.  
śꢀ When descending down a long or  
steep hill, use the paddle shifter to  
increase the regeneration braking  
level in order to decrease 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.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)  
WARNING  
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) or  
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)  
system will not prevent accidents  
due to improper or dangerous driving  
manoeuvres. Even though vehicle  
control is improved during emergency  
braking, always maintain a safe  
distance between you and objects  
ahead of you. Vehicle speeds should  
always be reduced during extreme  
road conditions. The braking distance  
for vehicles equipped with ABS or ESC  
may be longer than for those without  
these systems in the following road  
conditions.

could endanger the safety of yourself or  
others.  
OIK060071L  
Press brake pedal to deactivate AUTO  
HOLD  
ABS is an electronic braking system that  
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows  
the driver to steer and brake at the same  
time.  
If you did not apply the brake pedal when  
you release Auto Hold by pressing the  
AUTO HOLD switch, a warning will sound  
and a message will appear.  
6-35  
Driving your vehicle  
During that time, ABS will go through  
self-diagnosis and the light will go off  
if everything is normal. If the light stays  
on, you may have a problem with your  
ABS. We recommend that you contact an  
authorised HYUNDAI dealer as soon as  
possible.  
Using ABS  
To obtain the maximum benefit from  
your ABS in an emergency situation,  
do not attempt to modulate your brake  
pressure and do not try to pump your  
brakes. Depress your brake pedal as hard  
as possible.  
When you apply your brakes under  
conditions which may lock the wheels,  
you may hear sounds from the brakes,  
or feel a corresponding sensation in the  
brake pedal. This is normal and it means  
your ABS is active.  
ABS does not reduce the time or distance  
it takes to stop the vehicle.  
Always maintain a safe distance from the  
vehicle in front of you.  
WARNING  
If the ABS (  
) warning light is on and  
stays on, you may have a problem with  
the ABS. Your power brakes will work  
normally. To reduce the risk of serious  
injury or death, we recommend that  
you contact your authorised HYUNDAI  
dealer as soon as possible.  
ABS will not prevent a skid that results  
from sudden changes in direction, such  
as trying to take a corner too fast or  
making a sudden lane change. Always  
drive at a safe speed for the road and  
weather conditions.  
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.  
Always steer moderately when braking  
hard. Severe or sharp steering wheel  
movement can still cause your vehicle to  
veer into oncoming traffic or off the road.  
On loose or uneven road surfaces,  
operation of the anti-lock brake system  
may result in a longer stopping distance  
than for vehicles equipped with a  
conventional brake system.  
NOTICE  
When you drive on a road having poor  
traction, such as an icy road, and apply  
your brakes continuously, ABS will be  
active continuously and the ABS (  
)
warning light may illuminate. Pull your  
vehicle over to a safe place and turn the  
vehicle off.  
Restart the vehicle. If the ABS warning  
light is off, then your ABS system is  
normal.  
Otherwise, you may have a problem  
with your ABS system. We recommend  
that you contact an authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.  
The ABS (  
) warning light will stay on  
for several seconds after the Start/Stop  
button is in the ON position.  
6-36

WARNING  
Never drive too fast for the road  
conditions when cornering. ESC will not  
prevent accidents.  
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt  
manoeuvres, and hydroplaning on wet  
surfaces can result in severe accidents.  
Information  
When you jump start your vehicle because  
of a drained battery, the ABS (  
)
warning light may turn on at the same  
time. This happens because of the low  
battery voltage. It does not mean your  
ABS is malfunctioning. Have the battery  
recharged before driving the vehicle.

ONE1061020R  
śꢀ When you apply your brakes under  
conditions which may lock the wheels,  
you may hear sounds from the brakes,  
or feel a corresponding sensation in  
the brake pedal. This is normal and it  
means your ESC is active.  
śꢀ When ESC activates, the vehicle may  
not respond to the accelerator as it  
does under routine conditions.  
śꢀ If Cruise Control was in use when ESC  
activates, Cruise Control automatically  
disengages. Cruise Control can be

section in chapter 7 (if equipped).  
Electronic Stability Control helps to  
stabilize the vehicle during cornering  
manoeuvres.  
ESC checks where you are steering and  
where the vehicle is actually going. ESC  
applies braking pressure to any one of  
the vehicle's brakes and intervenes in the  
electric vehicle control system to assist  
the driver with keeping the vehicle on the  
intended path. It is not a substitute for  
safe driving practices. Always adjust your  
speed and driving to the road conditions.

VSM operation  
When operating  
Vehicle Stability Management  
(VSM)  
Vehicle Stability Management is a  
function of the Electronic Stability  
Control (ESC) system. It helps the vehicle  
stay stable when accelerating or braking  
suddenly on wet, slippery and rough  
roads where traction over the four tyres  
can suddenly become uneven.  
When you apply your brakes under  
conditions which may activate ESC, you  
may hear sounds from the brakes, or feel  
a corresponding sensation in the brake  
pedal. This is normal and it means your

the vehicle to pull to one side.  
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 an authorised HYUNDAI dealer for  
assistance.  
śꢀ Multi-Collision Brake decreases  
vehicle speed after a collision,  
but it does not prevent a 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.  
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.

Emergency precautions  
WARNING  
Tyres  
Do not drive across the contour of steep  
hills. A slight change in the wheel angle  
can destabilize the vehicle, or a stable  
vehicle may lose stability if the vehicle  
stops its forward motion. Your vehicle  
may roll over and lead to a serious injury  
or death.  
When replacing tyres, be sure to equip  
all four tyres with the same size, type,  
tread patterns, brand and load-carrying  
capacity.  
WARNING  
Do not use tyre and wheel with different  
size and type from the one originally  
installed on your vehicle. It can affect  
the safety and performance of your  
vehicle, which could lead to steering  
failure or rollover causing serious injury.  
Additional driving conditions  
śꢀ Become familiar with the off-road  
conditions before driving.  
śꢀ Always pay attention when driving off-  
road and avoid dangerous areas.  
śꢀ Drive slowly when driving in heavy  
wind.  
śꢀ Reduce vehicle speed when  
cornering. The centre of gravity  
of 4WD vehicles is higher than  
conventional 2WD vehicles, making  
them more likely to roll over when you  
rapidly turn corners.  
śꢀ Always hold the steering wheel firmly  
when you are driving off-road.  
WARNING  
Do not grab the inside of the steering  
wheel when you are driving off-road.  
You may hurt your arm by a sudden  
steering manoeuvre or from steering  
wheel rebound due to an impact with  
objects on the ground. You could lose  
control of the steering wheel which may  
lead to serious injury or death.

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS  
Hazardous driving conditions  
Rocking the vehicle  
When hazardous driving elements  
are encountered such as water, snow,  
ice, mud and sand, take the following  
precautions:  
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 R (Reverse)  
and a forward gear.  
śꢀ Drive cautiously and maintain a longer  
braking distance.  
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do  
not race the vehicle.  
śꢀ Avoid abrupt braking or steering.  
śꢀ When your vehicle is stuck in snow,  
mud, or sand, 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.  
To prevent reduction gear 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 reduction  
gear is in gear. Slowly spinning the  
wheels in forward and reverse directions  
causes a rocking motion that may free  
the vehicle.  
WARNING  
Changing the tyre speed suddenly  
could cause the tyres to skid whilst  
driving on slippery surface. Be careful  
when driving 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 motor compartment fire or  
other damage. Try to avoid spinning the  
wheels as much as possible to prevent  
overheating of either the tyres or the  
motor. DO NOT allow the vehicle to spin  
the wheels above 56 km/h.  
6-54  
06  
Driving in the rain  
Information  
The ESC system must be turned OFF  
before rocking the vehicle.  
Rain and wet roads can make driving  
dangerous. Here are a few things to  
consider when driving in the rain or on  
slick pavement:  
NOTICE  
śꢀ Slow down and allow extra following  
distance. A heavy rainfall makes  
If you are still stuck after rocking the  
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle  
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid  
motor overheating, possible damage to  
the reduction gear, and tyre damage.  
See “Towing” section in chapter 8.  
it harder to see and increases the  
distance needed to stop your vehicle.  
śꢀ Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if  
equipped)  
śꢀ Replace your windscreen wiper blades  
when they show signs of streaking or  
missing areas on the windscreen.  
śꢀ Be sure your tyres have enough tread.  
If your tyres do not have enough  
tread, making a quick stop on wet  
pavement can cause a skid and  
possibly lead to an accident. See  
“Tyre Tread” section in chapter 9.  
Smooth cornering  
Avoid braking or gear changing in  
corners, especially when roads are wet.  
Ideally, corners should always be taken  
under gentle acceleration.  
Driving at night  
Night driving presents more hazards than  
driving in the daylight. Here are some  
important tips to remember:  
śꢀ Slow down and keep more distance  
between you and other vehicles, as it  
may be more difficult to see at night,  
especially in areas where there may  
not be any street lights.  
śꢀ Turn on your headlamps to make it  
easier for others to see you.  
śꢀ Driving too fast through large puddles  
can affect your brakes. If you must go  
through puddles, try to drive through  
them slowly.  
śꢀ If you believe your brakes may be wet,  
apply them lightly whilst driving until  
normal braking operation returns.  
śꢀ Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare  
from other drivers’ headlamps.  
śꢀ Keep your headlamps clean and  
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly  
aimed headlamps will make it much  
more difficult to see at night.  
śꢀ Avoid staring directly at the  
headlamps of oncoming vehicles. You  
could be temporarily blinded, and it  
will take several seconds for your eyes  
to readjust to the darkness.  
6-55  
Driving your vehicle  
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.  
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.  
The risk of hydroplaning increases as  
the depth of tyre tread decreases, refer  
to “Tyre Tread” section in chapter 9.  
Information  
Never over-inflate your tyres above the  
maximum inflation pressure, as specified  
on your tyres.  
Driving in flooded areas  
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.  
Coolant and high voltage battery  
Driving at higher speeds on the highway  
consumes more electric energy and is  
less efficient than driving at a slower,  
more moderate speed. Maintain a  
moderate speed in order to conserve  
electric energy when driving on the  
highway.  
After driving through water, dry the  
brakes by gently applying them several  
times whilst the vehicle is moving slowly.  
Be sure to check both the coolant level  
and the electric energy level before  
driving.

Reducing the risk of a rollover  
WARNING  
Your multi-purpose passenger vehicle is  
defined as a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV).  
SUV’s have higher ground clearance  
and a narrower track to make them  
capable of performing in a wide variety  
of off-road applications. The specific  
design characteristics give them a higher  
centre of gravity than ordinary vehicles  
making them more likely to roll over if  
you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles  
have a significantly higher rollover rate  
than other types of vehicles. Due to this  
risk, driver and passengers are strongly  
recommended to buckle their seat  
Utility vehicles have a significantly  
higher rollover rate than other types of  
vehicles. To prevent rollovers or loss of  
control:  
śꢀ Take corners at slower speeds than  
you would with a passenger vehicle.  
śꢀ Avoid sharp turns and abrupt  
manoeuvres.  
śꢀ Do not modify your vehicle in any  
way that you would raise the centre  
of gravity.  
śꢀ Keep tyres properly inflated.  
śꢀ Do not carry heavy cargo on the roof.  
belts. In a rollover crash, an unrestrained  
person is significantly more likely to die  
than a person wearing a seat belt.  
WARNING  
There are steps that a driver can make  
to reduce the risk of a rollover. If at all  
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt  
manoeuvres, do not load your vehicle  
with heavy cargo on the roof, and never  
modify your vehicle in any way.  
In a rollover crash, an unrestrained  
person is significantly more likely to die  
than a person wearing a seat belt. Make  
sure all passengers are wearing their  
seat belts.  
6-57  
Driving your vehicle  
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:  
Summer tyres (if equipped)  
śꢀ Summer tyres are used to maximise  
the driving performance on dry roads.  
śꢀ If the temperature is below 7°C or  
you are driving on snowy or icy roads,  
the summer tyres lose their brake  
performance and traction as the tyre  
grip weakens significantly.  
śꢀ If the temperature is below 7°C or  
you are driving on snowy or icy roads,  
mount snow tyres or all-season tyres  
of the same size with your vehicle’s  
standard tyre for safe driving. Both  
snow and all-season tyres have M+S  
markings.  
śꢀ When using the M+S tyres, use tyres  
with the same tread produced by the  
same manufacturer for safe driving.  
śꢀ When driving with the M+S tyres with  
the lower maximum allowable speed  
than that of the vehicle’s standard  
summer tyre, be careful not to exceed  
the speed allowed for the M+S tyres.  
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. Sudden brake  
applications on snowy or icy roads may  
cause the vehicle to skid.  
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it  
may be necessary 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 (Wire chains)  
WARNING  
The use of tyre chains may adversely  
affect vehicle handling:  
śꢀ Drive less than 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.

braking.  
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. 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.  
Information  
śꢀ Install tyre chains only in pairs and on  
the rear tyres. It should be noted that  
installing tyre chains on the tyres will  
provide a greater driving force, but will  
not prevent side skids.  
śꢀ Do not install studded tyres without  
first checking local and municipal  
regulations for possible restrictions  
against their use.  
When using tyre chains, install tyre  
chains only on the rear tyres.  
6-59  
Driving your vehicle  
Chain Installation  
Tyre chains (Auto sock)  
When installing tyre chains, follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions and mount  
them as tightly possible. Drive slowly  
(less than 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 vehicle before installing snow  
chains.  
ONE1061045  
Since the sidewalls of radial tyres  
are thinner, they can be damaged by  
mounting some types of snow chains on  
them. Therefore, the use of snow tyres is  
recommended instead of snow chains.  
Do not mount tyre chains on vehicle  
equipped with aluminium wheels;  
snow chains may cause damage to the  
wheels. If snow chains must be used, use  
AutoSock (fabric snow chain). Damage  
to your vehicle caused by improper snow  
chain use is not covered by your vehicle  
manufacturer’s warranty.  
NOTICE  
When using tyre chains:  
śꢀ Wrong size chains or improperly  
installed chains can damage your  
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension,  
body and wheels.  
When using tyre chains, install tyre  
chains only on the rear tyres.  
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.  
CAUTION  
Always check chain installation  
for proper mounting after driving  
approximately 0.5 to 1 km to ensure safe  
mounting. Retighten or remount the  
chains if they are loose.  
śꢀ To prevent body damage, retighten  
the chains after driving 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 Install tyre chains that meet the  
specifications of each tyre size to  
prevent damage your vehicle.  
- 19 in. tyres use wire chains less  
than 12 mm.  
- 20 in. tyres use AutoSock (fabric  
snow chain).

This is most likely to happen when there  
is an accumulation of snow or ice around  
or near the rear brakes or if the brakes  
are wet. When there is the risk that your  
parking brake may freeze, temporarily  
apply it with the gear in P (Park). Also,  
block the rear wheels in advance, so the  
vehicle may not roll. Then, release the  
parking brake.  
Winter temperatures affect battery  
performance. Inspect the battery and  
cables, as specified in chapter 9. The  
battery charging level can be checked  
by an authorised HYUNDAI dealer or in a  
service station.  
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.  
Do not let ice and snow accumulate  
underneath  
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.  
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.  
Window washer anti-freeze solution is  
available from an authorised HYUNDAI  
dealer, and most vehicle accessory  
outlets. Do not use coolant or other types  
of anti-freeze solution, to prevent any  
damage to the vehicle paint.  
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.

Towbars  
It’s important to have the correct towbar  
equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks  
going by, and rough roads are a few  
reasons why you’ll need the right towbar.  
Here are some rules to follow:  
śꢀ Do you have to make any holes in the  
body of your vehicle when you install  
a trailer towbar? If you do, then be  
sure to seal the holes later when you  
remove the towbar. If you don’t seal  
them, dirt and water can get into your  
vehicle.  
If the rear number plate and/or  
lighting devices can be obscured  
partially by any part of the mechanical  
coupling device, mechanical coupling  
devices that can not be easily  
removed or repositioned without use  
of any tools, except an easily operated  
(for example, an effort not exceeding  
20Nm) release key which is supplied  
by the manufacturer of the coupling  
device, are not permitted for use.  
śꢀ The bumpers on your vehicle are not  
intended for towbars. Do not attach  
rental towbars or other bumper-type  
towbars to them. Use only a frame-  
mounted towbar that does not attach  
to the bumper.  
Please note that the mechanical  
coupling device that is fitted and  
not in use must always be removed  
or repositioned if the rear number  
plate and/or rear lighting devices  
are obscured by any part of the  
mechanical coupling device.  
śꢀ A HYUNDAI Vehicle trailer towbar  
accessory is available at an authorised  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
śꢀ We recommend only genuine  
HYUNDAI towbars (these towbars are  
made and tested in Australia/New  
Zealand for local conditions).

Driving your vehicle  
Safety chains  
You should always attach chains between  
your vehicle and your trailer.  
Instructions about safety chains may be  
provided by the towbar 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.  
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 towbar  
and platform, safety chains, electrical  
connector(s), lights, tyres and brakes.  
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.  
During your trip, occasionally check  
to be sure that the load is secure, and  
that the lights and trailer brakes are still  
working.  
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.  
Information  
When the ambient temperature is lower  
than 0°C (32°F) and the remaining high  
voltage battery is low, the power of the  
vehicle with a trailer can be dropped,  
causing a trouble in acceleration or drop  
of the speed when driving hills.  
When driving with a trailer, be sure to  
charge the high voltage battery more than  
50% if the ambient temperature is lower  
than 0°C (32°F).  
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.

Distance  
Turn signals  
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.  
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has  
to have a different turn signal flasher and  
extra wiring. The green arrows on your  
instrument panel will flash whenever you  
signal a turn or lane change. Properly  
connected, the trailer lights will also flash  
to alert other drivers you’re about to turn,  
change lanes, or stop.  
When towing a trailer, the green arrows  
on your instrument panel will flash for  
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer  
are burned out. Thus, you may think  
drivers behind you are seeing your  
signals when, in fact, they are not. It’s  
important to check occasionally to be  
sure the trailer bulbs are still working.  
You must also check the lights every time  
you disconnect and then reconnect the  
wires.  
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.  
Backing up  
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel  
with one hand. Then, to move the trailer  
to the left, move your hand to the left. To  
move the trailer to the right, move your  
hand to the right. Always back up slowly  
and, if possible, have someone guide  
you.  
WARNING  
Do not connect a trailer lighting system  
directly to your vehicle’s lighting  
system. Use an approved trailer wiring  
harness. Failure to do so could result in  
damage to the vehicle electrical system  
and/or personal injury. We recommend  
to consult an authorised HYUNDAI  
dealer for assistance.  
Making turns  
When you’re turning with a trailer, make  
wider turns than normal. Do this so your  
trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, kerbs,  
road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid  
jerky or sudden manoeuvres. Signal well  
in advance.

long or steep downgrade.  
On a long uphill grade, reduce your  
speed to around 70 km/h to reduce the  
possibility of motor overheating.  
However, if you ever have to park your  
trailer on a hill, here’s how to do it:  
1. Pull the vehicle into the parking space.  
NOTICE  
To prevent motor overheating:  
Turn the steering wheel in the  
direction of the kerb (right if headed  
down hill, right if headed up hill).  
śꢀ If you tow a trailer with the maximum  
gross vehicle weight and maximum  
trailer weight, it can cause the  
motor to overheat. When driving in  
such conditions, allow the motor  
to idle until it cools down. You may  
proceed once the motor has cooled  
sufficiently.  
2. Shift the gear to P (Park).  
3. Set the parking brake and shut off the  
vehicle.  
4. Place wheel chocks under the trailer  
wheels on the down hill side of the  
wheels.  
śꢀ When towing a trailer, your vehicle  
speed may be much slower than the  
general flow of traffic, especially  
when climbing an uphill grade. Use  
the right hand lane when towing a  
trailer on an uphill grade. Choose  
your vehicle speed according to the  
maximum posted speed limit for  
vehicles with trailers, the steepness  
of the grade, and your trailer weight.  
5. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes, shift  
to neutral, release the parking brake  
and slowly release the brakes until the  
trailer chocks absorb the load.  
6. Reapply the brakes and parking  
brakes.  
7. Shift the gear to P (Park) when the  
vehicle is parked on a uphill grade and  
in R (Reverse) on a downhill.  
8. Shut off the vehicle and release the  
vehicle brakes but leave the parking  
brake set.

Maintenance when towing a  
trailer  
WARNING  
To prevent serious or fatal injury:  
śꢀ Do not get out of the vehicle without  
the parking brake firmly set. If you  
have left the vehicle running, the  
vehicle can move suddenly. You and  
others could be seriously or fatally  
injured.  
Your vehicle will need service more  
often when you regularly pull a trailer.  
Important items to pay particular  
attention to include reduction gear fluid,  
axle lubricant and cooling system fluid.  
Brake condition is another important  
item to frequently check. If you’re  
trailering, it’s a good idea to review  
these items before you start your trip.  
Don’t forget to also maintain your trailer  
and towbar. Follow the maintenance  
schedule that accompanied your trailer  
and check it periodically. Preferably,  
conduct the check at the start of each  
day’s driving. Most importantly, all  
towbar nuts and bolts should be tight.  
śꢀ Do not apply the accelerator pedal to  
hold the vehicle on an uphill.  
Driving the vehicle after it has been  
parked on a hill  
1. With the gear in P (Park), apply your  
brakes and hold the brake pedal down  
whilst you:  
śꢀStart your vehicle;  
śꢀShift into gear; and  
śꢀRelease the parking brake.  
2. Slowly remove your foot from the  
brake pedal.  
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of  
the chocks.  
NOTICE  
To prevent vehicle damage:  
śꢀ Due to higher load during trailer  
usage, overheating might occur on  
hot days or during uphill driving.  
śꢀ When towing check reduction gear

Driving your vehicle  
VEHICLE WEIGHT  
Two labels on your driver’s door sill show  
how much weight your vehicle was  
designed to carry: the Tyre and Loading  
Information Label and the Certification  
Label.  
Before loading your vehicle, familiarize  
yourself with the following terms for  
determining your vehicle’s weight  
ratings, from the vehicle’s specifications  
and the Certification Label:  
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)  
This is the maximum allowable weight  
that can be carried by a single axle (front  
or rear). These numbers are shown on  
the Certification Label. The total load on  
each axle must never exceed its GAWR.  
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)  
This is the Base Kerb Weight plus actual  
Cargo Weight plus passengers.  
Base Kerb Weight  
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)  
This is the weight of the vehicle  
including high voltage battery and  
all standard equipment. It does not  
include passengers, cargo, or optional  
equipment.  
This is the maximum allowable weight  
of the fully loaded vehicle (including  
all options, equipment, passengers  
and cargo). The GVWR is shown on the  
Certification Label located on the driver’s  
door sill.  
Vehicle Kerb Weight  
This is the weight of your new vehicle  
when you picked it up from your dealer  
plus any aftermarket equipment.  
Overloading  
WARNING  
Cargo Weight  
The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)  
and the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating  
(GVWR) for your vehicle are on the  
Certification Label attached to the  
driver’s (or front passenger’s) door.  
Exceeding these ratings can cause an  
accident or vehicle damage. You can  
calculate the weight of your load by  
weighing the items (and people) before  
putting them in the vehicle. Be careful  
not to overload your vehicle.  
This figure includes all weight added to  
the Base Kerb Weight, including cargo  
and optional equipment.  
GAW (Gross Axle Weight)  
This is the total weight placed on each  
axle (front and rear) - including vehicle  
kerb weight and all payload.
