HAZARD WARNING FLASHER

• The hazard warning flasher oper-

ates whether your vehicle is run-

ning or not.

• The turn signals do not work when

the hazard flasher is on.

OLMB063020

The hazard warning flasher serves

as a warning to other drivers to exer-

cise

extreme

caution

when

approaching, overtaking, or passing

your vehicle.

It should be used whenever emer-

gency repairs are being made or

when the vehicle is stopped near the

edge of a roadway.

To turn the hazard warning flasher

on or off, press the hazard warning

flasher button with the ignition switch

in any position. The button is located

in the center console switch panel.

All turn signal lights will flash simul-

taneously.

• Reduce your speed gradually,

keeping a straight line. Move cau-

tiously off the road to a safe place.

If the engine stalls at a crossroad 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.

• Turn on your hazard warning flash-

er.

• Try to start the engine again. If your

vehicle will not start, we recom-

mend that you contact an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer.

• 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 you have a flat tire while

driving

If a tire goes flat while you are driv-

ing:

• When changing a flat tire, follow

the instructions provided later in

this chapter.

• Take your foot off the accelerator

pedal and let the vehicle slow

down while driving straight ahead.

Do not apply the brakes immedi-

ately 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.

What to do in an emergency

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS

If your temperature gauge indicates

overheating, you experience a loss

of power, or hear loud pinging or

knocking, the engine may be over-

heating. If this happens, you should:

ing parts such as the

cooling fan and drive

belt to prevent seri-

ous injury.

radiator cap or the

drain plug while the

engine and radiator

are hot. Hot coolant

and steam may blow out under

pressure, causing serious

injury.

1.Pull off the road and stop as soon

as it is safe to do so.

2.Place the shift lever in P (Park, for

automatic transaxle vehicle) or

neutral (for manual transaxle vehi-

cle) and set the parking brake. If

the air conditioning is ON, turn it

OFF.

Turn the engine off and wait

until the engine cools down.

Use extreme care when remov-

ing the radiator cap. Wrap a

thick towel around it, and turn it

counterclockwise slowly to the

first stop. Step back while the

pressure is released from the

cooling system. When you are

sure all the pressure has been

released, press down on the

cap, using a thick towel, and

continue turning counterclock-

wise to remove it.

4.Check for coolant leaking from the

radiator, hoses or under the vehi-

cle. (If the air conditioning had

been in use, it is normal for cold

water to be draining from it when

you stop.)

3.If engine coolant is running out

under the vehicle or steam is com-

ing 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 operating. If

the fan is not running, turn the

engine off.

5.If engine coolant is leaking out,

stop the engine immediately and

we recommend that you call an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

assistance.

6-8

6.If you cannot find the cause of the

overheating, wait until the engine

temperature has returned to nor-

mal. Then, if coolant has been lost,

carefully add coolant to the reser-

voir to bring the fluid level in the

reservoir up to the halfway mark.

CAUTION

• Serious loss of coolant indi-

cates a leak in the cooling

system and we recommend

the system be checked by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

7.Proceed with caution, keeping

alert for further signs of overheat-

ing. If overheating happens again,

we recommend that you call an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

assistance.

• When the engine overheats

from low engine coolant, sud-

denly adding engine coolant

may cause cracks in the

engine. To prevent damage,

add engine coolant slowly in

small quantities.

higher pressure measurement than a

tire that is cold.

WARNING

TPMS

Protecting TPMS

• The TPMS cannot alert you to

severe and sudden tire dam-

age caused by external fac-

tors such as nails or road

debris.

Tampering with, modifying, or

disabling the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS)

components may interfere with

the system's ability to warn the

driver of low tire pressure con-

ditions and/or TPMS malfunc-

tions. Tampering with, modify-

ing, or disabling the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) components may void

the warranty for that portion of

the vehicle.

A cold tire means the vehicle has

been sitting for 3 hours and driven for

less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in that 3

hour period.

• If you feel any vehicle instabil-

ity, immediately take your foot

off the accelerator, apply the

brakes gradually and with

light force, and slowly move to

a safe position off the road.

Allow the tire to cool before measur-

ing the inflation pressure. Always be

sure the tire is cold before inflating to

the recommended pressure.

CAUTION

We recommend that you use the

tire sealant approved by

HYUNDAI if your vehicle is

equipped with a Tire Pressure

Monitoring System. The liquid

sealant can damage the tire

pressure sensors.

What to do in an emergency

When driving with the compact spare

tire mounted to your vehicle:

Use of compact spare tires

(if equipped)

CAUTION

• Check the tire pressure after

installing the compact spare tire.

The compact spare tire should be

inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).

Compact spare tires are designed for

emergency use only. Drive carefully

on the compact spare tire and

always follow the safety precautions.

Your vehicle has metric threads

on the studs and lug nuts. Make

certain during tire changing

that the same nuts that were

removed are reinstalled. If you

have to replace your lug nuts

make sure they have metric

threads to avoid damaging the

studs and ensure the wheel is

properly secured to the hub. We

recommend that you consult an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer for

assistance.

• Do not take this vehicle through an

automatic car wash while the com-

pact spare tire is installed.

WARNING

• Do not use the compact spare tire

on any other vehicle because this

tire has been designed especially

for your vehicle.

To prevent compact spare tire

failure and loss of control pos-

sibly resulting in an accident:

• Use the compact spare tire

only in an emergency.

• The compact spare tire’s tread life

is shorter than a regular tire.

Inspect your compact spare tire

regularly and replace worn com-

pact spare tires with the same size

and design, mounted on the same

wheel.

• NEVER operate your vehicle

over 80 km/h (50 mph).

If any of the equipment such as the

jack, lug nuts, studs, or other equip-

ment is damaged or in poor condi-

tion, do not attempt to change the

tire and call for assistance.

• Do not exceed the vehicle’s

maximum load rating or the

load carrying capacity shown

on the sidewall of the com-

pact spare tire.

• Do not use more than one compact

spare tire at a time.

• Do not use the compact spare

tire continuously. Repair or

replace the original tire as

NOTICE

CAUTION

When the original tire and wheel are

repaired and reinstalled on the vehi-

cle, the lug nut torque must be set

correctly to prevent wheel vibration.

To prevent damaging the com-

pact spare tire and your vehicle:

• Drive slowly enough for the

road conditions to avoid all

hazards, such as a potholes

or debris.

torque is 9-11 kg.m (65-79 lb.ft).

• Avoid driving over obstacles.

The compact spare tire diame-

ter is smaller than the diame-

ter of a conventional tire and

reduces the ground clearance

approximately 25 mm (1 in).

• Do not use tire chains on the

compact spare tire. Because

of the smaller size, a tire chain

will not fit properly.

TOWING

Towing service

It is acceptable to tow the vehicle

with the rear wheels on the ground

(without dollies) and the front wheels

off the ground. If any of the loaded

wheels or suspension components

are damaged or the vehicle is being

towed with the front wheels on the

ground, use a towing dolly under the

front wheels.

OLMB063012

When being towed by a commercial

tow truck and wheel dollies are not

used, the front of the vehicle should

always be lifted, not the rear.

Dolly

For 4WD vehicles, it must be towed

with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed

equipment with all the wheels off the

ground.

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.

What to do in an emergency

EMERGENCY COMMODITY (IF EQUIPPED)

Your vehicle is equipped with emer-

gency commodities to help you

respond to emergency situation.

To check the tire pressure, take the

following steps:

First aid kit

Supplies for use in giving first aid

such as scissors, bandage and

adhesive tape, etc. are provided.

1.Unscrew the inflation valve cap

that is located on the rim of the tire.

2.Press and hold the gauge against

the tire valve. Some air will leak as

you begin and more will leak if you

don't press the gauge in firmly.

Fire extinguisher

If there is small fire and you know

how to use the fire extinguisher, fol-

low these steps carefully.

Triangle reflector

Place the triangle reflector on the

road to warn oncoming vehicles dur-

ing emergencies, such as when the

vehicle is parked by the roadside due

to problems.

3.A firm non-leaking push will acti-

vate the gauge.

1.Pull out the safety pin at the top of

the extinguisher that keeps the

handle from being accidentally

pressed.

4.Read the tire pressure on the

gauge to see whether the tire pres-

sure is low or high.

2.Aim the nozzle towards the base of

the fire.

Tire pressure gauge

(if equipped)

5.Adjust the tire pressure to the

specified pressure. Refer to “Tires

and Wheels” in chapter 8.

3.Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft)

away from the fire and squeeze the

handle to discharge the extinguish-

er. If you release the handle, the

discharge will stop.

Tires normally lose some air in day-

to-day use, and you may have to add

a air periodically and usually it is not

a sign of a leaking tire, but of normal

wear. Always check tire pressure

when the tires are cold because tire

pressure increases with tempera-

ture.

6.Reinstall the inflation valve cap.

4.Sweep the nozzle back and forth at

the base of the fire. After the fire

appears to be out, watch carefully

since it may re-ignite.
