HAZARD WARNING FLASHER

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

WHILE DRIVING

If the Engine Stalls While

Driving

• Reduce your speed gradually,

keeping a straight line. Move cau-

tiously off the road to a safe place.

• Turn on your hazard warning flash-

er.

To turn the hazard warning flasher

on or off, press the hazard warning

flasher button. The button is located

ates whether your vehicle is run-

ning or not.

• The turn signals do not work when

the hazard flasher is on.

• Try to start the engine again. If your

vehicle will not start, contact an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer or

seek other qualified assistance.

OOS067001N

The hazard warning flasher serves

as a warning to other drivers to exer-

cise extreme caution when approach-

ing, overtaking, or passing your vehi-

cle.

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.

It should be used whenever emer-

gency repairs are being made or

when the vehicle is stopped near the

edge of a roadway.

What to do in an emergency

JUMP STARTING

Jump starting can be dangerous if

done incorrectly. Follow the jump

starting procedure in this section to

avoid serious injury or damage to

your vehicle. If in doubt about how to

properly jump start your vehicle, we

strongly recommend that you have a

service technician or towing service

do it for you.

Batteries contain sulfu-

ric acid which is highly

corrosive. Do not allow

acid to contact your

eyes, skin or clothing.

WARNING

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or

DEATH to you or bystanders,

always follow these precautions

when working near or handling

the battery:

If acid gets into your eyes, flush

your eyes with clean water for at

least 15 minutes and get imme-

diate medical attention. If acid

gets on your skin, thoroughly

wash the area. If you feel pain or

a burning sensation, get med-

ical attention immediately.

Always read and follow

instructions

carefully

when handling a battery.

Wear eye protection

designed to protect the

eyes from acid splashes.

• When lifting a plastic-cased

battery, excessive pressure

on the case may cause battery

acid to leak. Lift with a battery

carrier or with your hands on

opposite corners.

• Do not attempt to jump start

your vehicle if your battery is

frozen.

• NEVER attempt to recharge

the battery when the vehicle's

battery cables are connected

to the battery.

Keep all flames, sparks,

or smoking materials

away from the battery.

Hydrogen is always

present in battery cells,

is highly combustible,

and may explode if ignit-

ed.

Keep batteries out of

reach of children.

6-4

Jump starting procedure

• The electrical ignition system

works with high voltage.

NEVER touch these compo-

nents with the engine running

or when the ignition switch is

in the ON position.

1. Position the vehicles close enough

that the jumper cables will reach,

but do not allow the vehicles to

touch.

2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in

the engine compartment at all

times, even when the vehicles are

turned off.

3. Turn off all electrical devices such

as radios, lights, air conditioning,

etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park)

and set the parking brakes. Turn

both vehicles OFF.

temperature has returned to nor-

mal. Then, if coolant has been

lost, carefully add coolant to the

reservoir to bring the fluid level in

the reservoir up to the halfway

mark.

7. Proceed with caution, keeping

alert for further signs of overheat-

ing. If overheating happens again,

call an authorized HYUNDAI deal-

er for assistance.

WARNING

While the engine is

running, keep hands,

water to be draining from it when

you stop.)

5. If engine coolant is leaking out,

stop the engine immediately and

call the nearest authorized

HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.

CAUTION

Serious loss of coolant indi-

cates a leak in the cooling sys-

tem and should be checked as

soon as possible by an author-

WARNING

Over-inflation or under-inflation

can reduce tire life, adversely

affect vehicle handling, and

lead to sudden tire failure that

may cause loss of vehicle con-

trol resulting in an accident.

Each tire, including the spare (if pro-

vided), should be checked monthly

when cold and inflated to the inflation

pressure recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer on the vehicle placard or

tire inflation pressure label. 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.

Allow the tire to cool before measur-

ing the inflation pressure. Always be

sure the tire is cold before inflating to

the recommended pressure. If your

vehicle has tires of a different size

WARNING

CAUTION

In winter or cold weather, the

Low Tire Pressure Telltale may

be illuminated if the tire pres-

sure was adjusted to the recom-

mended tire inflation pressure

The TPMS Malfunction Indicator will

illuminate after it blinks for approxi-

mately one minute when there is a

problem with the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System.

Have the system checked by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon

as possible.

Significantly low tire pressure

makes the vehicle unstable and

can contribute to loss of vehicle

control and increased braking

distances.

Continued driving on low pres-

sure tires can cause the tires to

overheat and fail.

When you drive your vehicle

from a warm area to a cold area

or from a cold area to a warm

area, or the outside temperature

is greatly higher or lower, you

should check the tire inflation

pressure and adjust the tires to

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

CAUTION

Additionally, theTPMS Malfunction

Indicator may illuminate if snow

chains are used or electronic

devices such as computers, charg-

ers, remote starters, navigation,

etc. This may interfere with normal

operation of the TPMS.

It is recommended that you do

not use a puncture-repairing

agent not approved by HYUNDAI

dealer to repair and/or inflate a

low pressure tire. Tire sealant

not approved by HYUNDAI deal-

er may damage the tire pressure

sensor.

Each wheel is equipped with a tire

pressure sensor mounted inside the

tire behind the valve stem (except for

the spare tire). You must use TPMS

specific wheels. It is recommended

that you always have your tires serv-

iced by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

The spare tire does not come with a

tire pressure monitoring sensor.

When the low pressure tire or the flat

tire is replaced with the spare tire,

the Low Tire Pressure LCD position

indicator will remain on. Also, the

TPMS Malfunction Indicator will illu-

minate after blinking for one minute if

the vehicle is driven at speed above

CAUTION

■ Example

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.

• 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 1 inch (25 mm).

OOS067043

The actual Jack label in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.

For more detailed specifications, refer to the label attached to the jack.

• Do not use tire chains on the

compact spare tire. Because

of the smaller size, a tire chain

will not fit properly.

• Do not use the compact spare

tire on any other wheels, nor

should standard tires, snow

tires, wheel covers or trim

rings be used with the com-

pact spare wheel.

What to do in an emergency

IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (WITH TIRE MOBILITY KIT, IF EQUIPPED)

Introduction

CAUTION

With the Tire Mobility Kit you stay

mobile even after experiencing a tire

puncture.

The system of compressor and seal-

ing compound effectively and com-

fortably seals most punctures in a

passenger car tire caused by nails

or similar objects and reinflates the

tire.

When two or more tires are flat,

do not use the tire mobility kit

because the supported one

sealant of Tire Mobility Kit is

only used for one flat tire.

WARNING

After you ensured that the tire is

properly sealed you can drive cau-

tiously on the tire (distance up to 120

miles (200 km)) at a max. speed of

50 mph (80 km/h) in order to reach a

service station or tire dealer to have

the tire replaced.

It is possible that some tires, espe-

cially with larger punctures or dam-

age to the sidewall, cannot be sealed

completely.

Air pressure loss in the tire may

adversely affect tire performance.

For this reason, you should avoid

abrupt steering or other driving

maneuvers, especially if the vehicle

is heavily loaded or if a trailer is in

use.

OOS067009

Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit

to repair punctures in the tire

walls.This can result in an acci-

dent due to tire failure.

For safe operation, carefully read

and follow the instructions in this

manual before use.

(1) Compressor

(2) Sealant bottle

WARNING

The Tire Mobility Kit is a temporary

fix to the tire and we recommend that

the system be inspected by an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Have your tire repaired as soon

as possible. The tire may loose

air pressure at any time after

inflating with theTire Mobility Kit.

6-20

The Tire Mobility Kit is not designed

or intended as a permanent tire

repair method and is to be used for

one tire only. This instruction shows

you step by step how to temporarily

seal the puncture simply and reliably.

Read the section "Notes on the safe

use of the Tire Mobility Kit".

• Do not remove any foreign objects

such as nails or screws that have

penetrated the tire.

• Provided the car is outdoors, leave

the engine running. Otherwise oper-

ating the compressor may eventual-

ly drain the car battery.

• Never leave the Tire Mobility Kit

unattended while it is being used.

• Do not leave the compressor run-

ning for more than 10 min. at a time

or it may overheat.

• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if the

ambient temperature is below

-22°F (-30°C).

• In case of skin contact with the

sealant, wash the area thoroughly

with plenty of water. If the irritation

persists, seek medical attention.

• In case of eye contact with the

sealant, flush your eyes for at least

15 minutes. If the irritation persists,

seek medical attention.

Notes on the safe use of the

Tire Mobility Kit

• Park your car at the side of the road

so that you can work with the Tire

Mobility Kit away from moving traffic.

• To be sure your vehicle will not

move, even when you're on fairly

level ground, always set your park-

ing brake.

• Only use the Tire Mobility Kit for

sealing/inflation passenger car tires.

Only punctured areas located within

the tread region of the tire can be

sealed using the tire mobility kit.

• Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles

or any other type of tires.

• When the tire and wheel are dam-

aged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for

your safety.

• Use of the Tire Mobility Kit may not

be effective for tire damage larger

than approximately 0.24 in (6 mm).

WARNING

Do not use the TMK if a tire is

severely damaged by driving run

flat or with insufficient air pres-

sure.

Only punctured areas located

within the tread region of the tire

can be sealed using the TMK.

6

If the tire cannot be made roadwor-

thy with the Tire Mobility Kit, we rec-

ommend that you contact an author-

ized HYUNDAI dealer.

• Do not use the Tire Mobility Kit if a

tire is severely damaged by driving

run flat or with insufficient air pres-

sure.

• In case of swallowing the sealant,

rinse the mouth and drink plenty of

water. However, never give anything

to an unconscious person and seek

medical attention immediately.

• Long time exposure to the sealant

may cause damage to bodily tissue

such as kidney, etc.
