In Case Of An Emergency While Driving
If the engine stalls while driving
• Reduce the vehicle speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
• Turn on your hazard warning flasher.
• Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle does not start, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroads or crossing, if safe to do so, shift the gear to N (Neutral)
and then push the vehicle to a safe location.
To stay N (Neutral) while the vehicle is off, refer to the "To stay in N (Neutral) when vehicle
is OFF" section in chapter 6.
If you have a flat tire while driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
• 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
because this may cause loss of vehicle control resulting in a collision. 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.
• When the vehicle is stopped, press the hazard warning flasher button, shift the gear to
P (Park), apply the parking brake, and press the Engine Start/Stop button OFF position.
• Have all passengers get out of the vehicle. Make sure they all get out on the side of the
vehicle that is away from traffic.
• When changing or inflating a flat tire, follow the instructions provided later in this
chapter.
