passengers have fastened their  
seatbelts.  
• Check the gauges and indicators in  
the instrument panel and the mes-  
sages on the instrument display  
when the ignition switch is in the  
ON position.  
• Check that any items you are car-

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.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS  
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-  
lowing precautions:  
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt.  
All passengers must be prop-  
erly belted whenever the vehi-  
cle is moving. For more  
details, refer to "Seat Belts" in  
chapter 2.  
• Always drive defensively.  
Assume other drivers or pedes-  
trians may be careless and  
make mistakes.  
• Stay focused on the task of  
driving. Driver distraction can  
cause accidents.  
NEVER drink or take drugs and  
drive.  
Drinking or taking drugs and  
driving is dangerous and may  
result in an accident and SERI-  
OUS 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, percep-  
tions and judgment. Just one  
drink can reduce your ability to  
respond to changing conditions  
and emergencies and your reac-  
tion time gets worse with each  
additional drink.

• Leave plenty of space between  
you and the vehicle in front of  
you.  
Driving while under the influ-  
ence of drugs is as dangerous  
or more dangerous than driving  
under the influence of alcohol.

WARNING  
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS  
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-  
lowing precautions:  
• NEVER allow children or any  
person who is unfamiliar with  
the vehicle to touch the igni-  
tion switch or related parts.  
Unexpected and sudden vehi-  
cle movement can occur.  
• NEVER reach through the

arm in this area may cause a  
loss of vehicle control result-  
ing in an accident.  
NEVER turn the ignition switch  
to the LOCK or ACC position  
while the vehicle is in motion  
except in an emergency. This  
will result in the engine turning  
off and loss of power assist for

when the ignition switch is in the ON  
position.  
To reduce the risk of serious  
injury or death:  
• ALWAYS check the surround-  
ing areas near your vehicle for  
people, especially children,  
before shifting a vehicle into  
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).  
• Before leaving the driver's  
seat, always make sure the  
shift lever is in the P (Park)  
position, then set the parking  
brake, and place the ignition  
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-  
tion. Unexpected and sudden  
vehicle movement can occur  
if these precautions are not  
followed.  
• Do not use engine braking  
(shifting from a high gear to  
lower gear) rapidly on slip-  
pery roads. The vehicle may  
slip causing an accident.  
• Shifting into P (Park) while the  
vehicle is in motion may  
cause you to lose control of  
the vehicle.  
• After the vehicle has stopped,  
always make sure the shift  
lever is in P (Park), apply the  
parking brake, and turn the  
engine off.  
P (Park)  
Always come to a complete stop  
before shifting into P (Park).  
To shift from P (Park), you must  
depress firmly on the brake pedal.  
Make sure your foot is off the accel-  
erator pedal.  
If you have done all of the above and  
still cannot shift the lever out of P  
(Park), see "Shift-Lock Release" in  
this section.  
The shift lever must be in P (Park)  
before turning the engine off.

The DRIVE MODE switch, located  
on the shift lever console, allows the  
driver to switch from COMFORT  
mode to SPORT mode.  
WARNING  
Do not shift into gear unless  
your foot is firmly on the brake  
pedal. Shifting into gear when  
the engine is running at high  
speed can cause the vehicle to  
move very rapidly. You could  
lose control of the vehicle and  
hit people or objects.  
For more details, refer to "Drive  
Mode Integrated Control System"  
later in this chapter.

• If the driver presses the lever to  
+ (Up) or - (Down) position, the  
transmission may not make the  
requested gear change if the next  
gear is outside of the allowable  
engine rpm range. The driver must  
execute upshifts in accordance with  
road conditions, taking care to keep  
the engine rpms below the red zone.  
In Manual Shift Mode, moving the  
shift lever backwards and forwards  
will allow you to select the desired  
range of gears for the current driving  
conditions.

6. Remove the tool from the shift-  
lock override access hole then  
install the cap.  
For your safety, the automatic trans-  
mission has a shift-lock system  
which prevents shifting the transmis-  
sion from P (Park) into R (Reverse)  
unless the brake pedal is depressed.  
To shift the transmission from P  
(Park) into R (Reverse):  
If you need to use the shift-lock  
release, have your vehicle inspected  
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer  
immediately.  
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.  
2. Start the engine or place the igni-  
tion switch in the ON position.  
3. Move the shift lever.  
OTLA055002  
If the shift lever cannot be moved from  
the P (Park) position into R (Reverse)  
position with the brake pedal  
depressed, continue depressing the  
brake, and then do the following:  
1. Place the ignition switch in the  
LOCK/OFF position.  
2. Apply the parking brake.  
3. Carefully remove the cap (1) cov-  
ering the shift-lock release access  
hole.  
4. Insert a tool (e.g. flathead screw-  
driver) into the access hole and  
press down on the tool.  
5-18  
• When driving in Manual Shift  
Mode, slow down before shifting to  
a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower  
gear may not be engaged if the  
engine rpms are outside of the  
allowable range.  
• Always apply the parking brake  
when leaving the vehicle. Do not  
depend on placing the transmis-  
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle  
from moving.  
• 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.  
• Optimum vehicle performance and  
economy is obtained by smoothly  
depressing and releasing the  
accelerator.  
Parking  
Good Driving Practices  
Always come to a complete stop and  
continue to depress the brake pedal.  
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)  
position, apply the parking brake,  
and place the ignition switch in the  
LOCK/OFF position. Take the Key  
with you when exiting the vehicle.  
• Never move the shift lever from P  
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other  
position with the accelerator pedal  
depressed.  
• Never move the shift lever into P  
(Park) when the vehicle is in  
motion.  
Be sure the vehicle is completely  
stopped before you attempt to shift  
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).  
• Do not move the shift lever to N  
(Neutral) when driving. Doing so  
may result in an accident because  
of a loss of engine braking and the  
transmission could be damaged.  
• 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.  
• Depressing both accelerator and  
brake pedals at the same time can  
trigger logic for engine power  
reduction to assure vehicle decel-  
eration. Vehicle acceleration will  
resume after the brake pedal is  
released.  
WARNING  
• When you stay in the vehicle  
with the engine running, be  
careful not to depress the  
accelerator pedal for a long  
period of time. The engine or  
exhaust system may overheat  
and start a fire.  
• The exhaust gas and the  
exhaust system are very hot.  
Keep away from the exhaust  
system components.  
5
• Do not stop or park over flam-  
mable materials, such as dry  
grass, paper or leaves. They  
may ignite and cause a fire.  
5-19  
Driving your vehicle  
i
Information -  
Kickdown  
• In the event your vehicle  
leaves the roadway, do not  
steer sharply. Instead, slow  
down before pulling back into  
the travel lanes.  
• HYUNDAI recommends you  
follow all posted speed limits.  
WARNING  
Mechanism  
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS  
INJURY or DEATH:  
Use the kickdown mechanism for  
maximum acceleration. Depress the  
accelerator pedal beyond the pressure  
point. The automatic transmission will  
shift to a lower gear depending on the  
engine speed.  
• ALWAYS wear your seatbelt.  
In a collision, an unbelted  
occupant is significantly more  
likely to be seriously injured  
or killed than a properly belt-  
ed occupant.  
• Avoid high speeds when cor-  
nering or turning.  
• Do not make quick steering  
wheel movements, such as  
sharp lane changes or fast,  
sharp turns.  
• The risk of rollover is greatly  
increased if you lose control  
of your vehicle at highway  
speeds.  
• Loss of control often occurs if  
two or more wheels drop off  
the roadway and the driver  
over steers to reenter the  
roadway.  
5-20  
BRAKING SYSTEM  
Power Brakes  
Your vehicle has power-assisted  
brakes that adjust automatically  
through normal usage.  
• Wet brakes may impair the  
vehicle's ability to safely slow  
down; the vehicle may also  
pull to one side when the  
brakes are applied. Applying  
the brakes lightly will indicate  
whether they have been  
affected in this way. Always  
test your brakes in this fash-  
ion after driving through deep  
water. To dry the brakes, light-  
ly tap the brake pedal to heat  
up the brakes while maintain-  
ing a safe forward speed until  
brake performance returns to  
normal. Avoid driving at high  
speeds until the brakes func-  
tion correctly.  
WARNING  
Take the following precautions:  
• Do not drive with your foot  
resting on the brake pedal.  
This will create abnormal high  
brake temperatures, exces-  
sive brake lining and pad  
wear, and increased stopping  
distances.  
• When descending down a  
long or steep hill, move the  
gear shift lever to Manual  
Shift Mode and manually  
downshift to a lower gear in  
order to control your speed  
without using the brake pedal  
excessively. Applying the  
brakes continuously will  
cause the brakes to overheat  
and could result in a tempo-  
rary loss of braking perform-  
ance.  
If the engine is not running or is  
turned off while driving, the power  
assist for the brakes will not work.  
You can still stop your vehicle by  
applying greater force to the brake  
pedal than typical. The stopping dis-  
tance, however, will be longer than  
with power brakes.  
When the engine is not running, the  
reserve brake power is partially  
depleted each time the brake pedal  
is applied. Do not pump the brake  
pedal when the power assist has  
been interrupted.  
5
Pump the brake pedal only when  
necessary to maintain steering con-  
trol on slippery surfaces.

Driving your vehicle  
Disc Brakes Wear Indicator  
Parking Brake  
WARNING  
When your brake pads are worn and  
new pads are required, you will hear  
a high pitched warning sound from  
your front or rear brakes. You may  
hear this sound come and go or it  
may occur whenever you depress  
the brake pedal.  
Note that some driving conditions or  
climates may cause a brake squeal  
when you first apply (or lightly apply)  
the brakes. This is normal and does  
not indicate a problem with your  
brakes.  
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS  
INJURY or DEATH, do not oper-  
ate the parking brake while the  
vehicle is moving except in an  
emergency situation. It could  
damage the brake system and  
lead to an accident.  
OTL055012  
Always set the parking brake before  
leaving the vehicle. To apply the  
parking brake:  
NOTICE  
To avoid costly brake repairs, do  
not continue to drive with worn  
brake pads.  
Firmly depress the brake pedal.  
Depress the parking brake pedal  
down as far as possible.  
i
Information  
Always replace brake pads as com-  
plete front or rear axle sets.  
5-22  
NOTICE  
WARNING  
• Do not apply the accelerator  
pedal while the parking brake is  
engaged. If you depress the  
accelerator pedal with the park-  
ing brake engaged, warning will  
sound. Damage to the parking  
brake may occur.  
• Driving with the parking brake  
on can overheat the braking sys-  
tem and cause premature wear  
or damage to brake parts. Make  
sure the parking brake is  
released and the Brake Warning  
Light is off before driving.  
• Whenever leaving the vehicle  
or parking, always come to a  
complete stop and continue to  
depress the brake pedal. Move  
the shift lever into P (Park)  
position, then apply the park-  
ing brake, and place the igni-  
tion switch in the LOCK/OFF  
position.  
Vehicles with the parking  
brake not fully engaged are at  
risk for moving inadvertently

Driving your vehicle  
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-  
ty. Always steer moderately when  
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-  
ing 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 sys-  
tem may result in a longer stopping  
distance than for vehicles equipped  
with a conventional brake system.  
Using ABS  
• Drive your vehicle at reduced  
speeds during the following  
conditions:  
• Rough, gravel or snow-cov-  
ered roads.  
• On roads where the road sur-  
face is pitted or has different  
surface height.  
• Tire chains are installed on  
your vehicle.  
The safety features of an ABS  
or ESC equipped vehicle should  
not be tested by high speed  
driving or cornering. This could  
endanger the safety of yourself  
or others.  
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 dis-  
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.  
Always maintain a safe distance from  
the vehicle in front of you.  
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 con-  
ditions.  
The ABS warning light (  
) will stay  
on for several seconds after the igni-  
tion switch is in the ON position.  
During that time, the 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. Contact an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon  
as possible  
ABS is an electronic braking system  
that helps prevent a braking skid.  
ABS allows the driver to steer and  
brake at the same time.

The Electronic Stability Control  
(ESC) system helps to stabilize the  
vehicle during cornering maneuvers.  
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 engine man-  
agement 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.  
i
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.

• If the Cruise Control was in use  
when the ESC activates, the  
Cruise Control automatically disen-  
gages. The Cruise Control can be  
reengaged when the road condi-  
tions allow. See "Cruise Control  
System" later in this chapter. (if  
equipped)  
• When moving out of the mud or  
driving on a slippery road, the  
engine RPM (revolutions per  
minute) may not increase even if  
you press the accelerator pedal  
deeply. This is to maintain the sta-  
bility and traction of the vehicle and  
does not indicate a problem.  
ESC operation  
ESC ON condition  
When the ignition switch is in the ON

indicator lights illuminate for approxi-  
mately three seconds. After both  
lights go off, the ESC is enabled.  
WARNING  
Never drive too fast for the road  
conditions or too quickly when  
cornering. The ESC system will  
not prevent accidents.  
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt  
maneuvers, and hydroplaning  
on wet surfaces can result in  
severe accidents.  
When operating  
When the ESC is in opera-  
tion, the ESC indicator light  
blinks:  
• When you apply your brakes under  
conditions which may lock the  
wheels, you may hear sounds from  
the brakes, or feel a corresponding

Driving your vehicle  
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes  
lightly until the braking action returns  
to normal, taking care to keep the  
vehicle under control at all times. If  
the braking action does not return to  
normal, stop as soon as it is safe to  
do so and call an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer for assistance.  
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 tire goes flat while you are driv-  
ing, apply the brakes gently and  
keep the vehicle pointed straight  
ahead while 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.  
Keep your foot firmly on the brake  
pedal when the vehicle is stopped to  
prevent the vehicle from rolling for-  
ward.  
Good Braking Practices  
WARNING  
WARNING  
If the DBC red indicator light  
illuminates, the system may  
have overheated or have mal-  
functioned. When the warning  
light illuminates even though  
the DBC system has cooled off,  
have your vehicle checked by  
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer  
as soon as possible.  
Whenever leaving the vehicle or  
parking, always come to a com-  
plete stop and continue to  
depress the brake pedal. Move  
the shift lever into the P (Park)  
position, then apply the parking  
brake, and place the ignition  
switch in the OFF position.  
Vehicles parked with the park-  
ing brake not applied or not  
fully engaged may roll inadver-  
tently and may cause injury to  
the driver and others. ALWAYS  
apply the parking brake before  
exiting the vehicle.  
NOTICE  
• The DBC may not deactivate on  
steep inclines even though the  
brake or accelerator pedal is  
depressed.  
• The DBC does not operate  
when:  
- The shift lever is in P (Park).  
- The ESC is activated.  
Wet brakes can be dangerous! The  
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is  
driven through standing water or if it  
is washed. Your vehicle will not stop  
as quickly if the brakes are wet. Wet  
brakes may cause the vehicle to pull  
to one side.

ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) (IF EQUIPPED)  
Occasional off-road use such as  
WARNING  
established unpaved roads and trails  
are OK. It is always important that  
the driver carefully reduces the  
speed to a level that does not exceed  
the safe operating speed for those  
conditions.  
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS  
INJURY or DEATH:  
• Do not drive in conditions that  
exceed the vehicles intended  
design such as challenging  
off-road conditions.  
• Avoid high speeds when cor-  
nering or turning.  
• Do not make quick steering  
wheel movements, such as  
sharp lane changes or fast,  
sharp turns.  
• The risk of a rollover is great-  
ly increased if you lose con-  
trol of your vehicle at highway  
speeds.  
OTLE058178  
The All Wheel Drive (AWD) system  
delivers engine torque to both the  
front and rear wheels for extra trac-  
tion.  
AWD is useful when maximum trac-  
tion is required on slippery, muddy,  
wet, or snow-covered roads.

• Loss of control often occurs if  
two or more wheels drop off  
the roadway and the driver  
over steers to reenter the  
roadway.

Driving your vehicle  
NOTICE  
• In the event your vehicle  
leaves the roadway, do not  
steer sharply. Instead, slow  
down before pulling back into  
the travel lanes.  
• Do not drive in water if the level  
is higher than the bottom of the  
vehicle.  
• Check your brake condition  
once you are out of mud or  
water. Depress the brake pedal  
several times as you move slow-  
ly until you feel normal braking  
return.  
• Shorten your scheduled mainte-  
nance interval if you drive in off-  
road conditions such as sand,  
mud or water (see "Maintenance  
Under  
Severe  
Usage  
Conditions" in chapter 7).  
• Always wash your vehicle thor-  
oughly after off road use, espe-  
cially the bottom of the vehicle.  
• Be sure to equip the vehicle with  
four tires of the same size and  
type.  
• Make sure that a full time AWD

The FCA system logic operates  
within certain parameters, such  
as the distance from the vehicle  
ahead, the speed of the vehicle  
ahead, and the driver's vehicle  
speed. Certain conditions such  
as inclement weather and road  
conditions may affect the oper-  
ation of the FCA system.  
• The driver should always use  
extreme caution while operat-  
ing the vehicle, whether or not  
there is a warning message or

WARNING  
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)  
system is not a substitute for  
safe driving practices. It is the  
responsibility of the driver to  
always be aware of the sur-  
rounding and steer the vehicle.  
WARNING  
OTLE058182  
The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-  
tem detects lane markers on the  
road using a forward facing front  
camera located on the top center of  
the windshield. The LKA system  
assists the driver's steering to help  
keep the vehicle between the lane  
markers.  
Take the following precautions  
when using the Lane Keeping  
Assist (LKA) system:  
• Do not steer the steering  
wheel suddenly when the  
steering wheel is being assist-  
ed by the system.  
• LKA system helps to prevent  
the driver from moving out of  
the lane unintentionally by  
assisting the driver's steering.  
However, the driver should not  
solely rely on the system but  
always pay attention on the  
steering wheel to stay in the  
lane.  
5
When the system detects the vehicle  
straying from its lane, it alerts the  
driver with a visual and audible warn-  
ing, while applying a counter-steer-  
ing torque, to try to prevent the vehi-  
cle from moving out of its lane.

Active LKA  
This device complies with Part 15 of  
the FCC rules.  
The Active LKA mode provides more  
frequent steering wheel control in  
comparison with the Standard LKA  
mode.  
Operation is subject to the following  
two conditions:  
1. This device may not cause harmful

interference, and  
Lane Keeping Assist  
2. This device must accept any inter-  
ference received, including interfer-  
ence that may cause undesired  
operation.  
This mode guides the driver to help  
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It  
rarely controls the steering wheel,  
when the vehicle drives well inside  
the lanes. However, it starts to con-  
trol the steering wheel, when the  
vehicle is about to deviate out of the  
lane.

CAUTION  
The Driver Attention Warning sys-  
tem utilizes the camera sensor on  
the front windshield for its opera-  
tion.To keep the camera sensor in  
the best condition, you should  
observe the followings:  
• Do not disassemble the camera  
temporarily to tint the window or  
to attach any types of coatings  
and accessories. If you disas-  
semble a camera and assemble  
it again, take your vehicle to an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and  
have the system checked for cal-  
ibration.  
The Driver Attention Warning  
(DAW) system may not properly

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS  
Hazardous driving conditions  
Rocking the vehicle  
WARNING  
When hazardous driving elements If it is necessary to rock the vehicle  
are encountered such as water, to free it from snow, sand, or mud,  
snow, ice, mud and sand, take the first turn the steering wheel right and  
If the vehicle is stuck and  
excessive wheel spin occurs,  
the temperature in the tires can  
increase very quickly. If the tires  
become damaged, a tire blow  
out or tire 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 engine  
compartment fire or other dam-  
age. Try to avoid spinning the  
wheels as much as possible to  
prevent overheating of either the  
tires or the engine. DO NOT  
allow the vehicle to spin the  
wheels above 35 mph (56 km/h).  
below suggestions:  
left to clear the area around your  
front wheels. Then, shift back and  
forth between R (Reverse) and a for-  
ward gear.  
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and  
do not race the engine.  
To prevent transmission wear, wait  
until the wheels stop spinning before  
shifting gears. Release the accelera-  
tor pedal while shifting, and press  
lightly on the accelerator pedal while  
the transmission is in gear. Slowly  
spinning the wheels in forward and  
reverse directions causes a rocking  
motion that may free the vehicle.  
• Drive cautiously and keep a longer  
braking distance.  
• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.  
• When your vehicle is stuck in snow,  
mud, or sand, use second gear.  
Accelerate slowly to avoid unnec-  
essary wheel spin.  
• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or  
other non-slip materials under the  
wheels to provide additional trac-  
tion while the vehicle becomes  
stuck in ice, snow, or mud.  
WARNING  
Downshifting with an automatic  
transmission while driving on  
slippery surfaces can cause an  
accident. The sudden change in  
tire speed could cause the tires  
to skid. Be careful when down-  
shifting on slippery surfaces.

NOTICE  
• Slow down and allow extra follow-  
ing distance. A heavy rainfall  
makes it harder to see and increas-  
es the distance needed to stop  
your vehicle.  
If you are still stuck after rocking  
the vehicle a few times, have the  
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle  
to avoid engine overheating, possi-  
ble damage to the transmission,  
and tire damage. See "Towing" in  
chapter 6.  
Driving at night  
Night driving presents more hazards  
than driving in the daylight. Here are  
some important tips to remember:  
• Slow down and keep more dis-  
tance between you and other vehi-  
cles, as it may be more difficult to  
see at night, especially in areas  
where there may not be any street  
lights.  
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the  
glare from other driver's head-  
lamps.  
• Keep your headlamps clean and  
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly  
aimed headlamps will make it  
much more difficult to see at night.  
• Avoid staring directly at the head-  
lamps of oncoming vehicles. You  
could be temporarily blinded, and it  
will take several seconds for your  
eyes to readjust to the darkness.  
• Turn OFF your Cruise Control.  
• Replace your windshield wiper  
blades when they show signs of  
streaking or missing areas on the  
windshield.  
• Be sure your tires have enough  
tread. If your tires do not have  
enough tread, making a quick stop  
on wet pavement can cause a skid  
and possibly lead to an accident.  
See "Tire replacement" in chap-  
ter 7.  
• Turn on your headlamps to make it  
easier for others to see you.  
• Driving too fast through large pud-  
dles can affect your brakes. If you  
must go through puddles, try to  
drive through them slowly.

Driving your vehicle  
• If you believe your brakes may be  
wet, apply them lightly while driv-  
ing until normal braking operation  
returns.  
Fuel, engine coolant and engine  
oil  
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.  
After driving through water, dry the  
brakes by gently applying them sev-  
eral times while the vehicle is moving  
slowly.  
Driving at higher speeds on the high-  
way consumes more fuel and is less  
efficient than driving at a slower,  
more moderate speed. Maintain a  
moderate speed in order to conserve  
fuel when driving on the highway.  
Be sure to check both the engine  
coolant level and the engine oil  
before driving.  
Hydroplaning  
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.

Reducing the risk of a rollover  
WARNING  
WARNING  
Your multi-purpose passenger vehi-  
cle is defined as a Sports Utility  
Vehicle (SUV). SUV's have higher  
ground clearance and a narrower  
track to make them capable of per-  
forming in a wide variety of off-road  
applications. The specific design  
characteristics give them a higher  
center of gravity than ordinary vehi-  
cles making them more likely to roll  
over if you make abrupt turns. Utility  
vehicles have a significantly higher  
rollover rate than other types of vehi-  
cles. Due to this risk, driver and pas-  
sengers are strongly recommended  
to buckle their seat belts. In a rollover  
crash, an unbelted person is signifi-  
cantly more likely to die than a per-  
son wearing a seat belt.  
Utility vehicles have a signifi-  
cantly higher rollover rate than  
other types of vehicles. To pre-  
vent rollovers or loss of control:  
• Take corners at slower speeds  
than you would with a passen-  
ger vehicle.  
• Avoid sharp turns and abrupt  
maneuvers.  
• Do not modify your vehicle in  
any way that you would raise  
the center of gravity.  
In a rollover crash, an unbelted  
person is significantly more  
likely to die than a person wear-  
ing a seat belt. Make sure all  
passengers are wearing their  
seat belts.  
5
• Keep tires properly inflated.  
• Do not carry heavy cargo on  
the roof.  
There are steps that a driver can  
make to reduce the risk of a rollover.  
If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or  
abrupt maneuvers, do not load your  
vehicle with heavy cargo on the roof,  
and never modify your vehicle in any  
way.

Driving your vehicle  
WINTER DRIVING  
The severe weather conditions of  
winter quickly wear out tires and  
cause other problems. To minimize  
winter driving problems, you should  
take the following suggestions:  
Snow tires  
Tire chains  
WARNING  
Snow tires should be equivalent  
in size and type to the vehicle’s  
standard tires. Otherwise, the  
safety and handling of your  
vehicle may be adversely affect-  
ed.  
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.  
During deceleration, use engine  
braking to the fullest extent. 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 use snow tires  
or to install tire chains on your tires.  
Always carry emergency equipment.  
Some of the items you may want to  
carry include tire chains, tow straps  
or chains, a flashlight, emergency  
flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables,  
a window scraper, gloves, ground  
cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.

equipped with aluminum wheels; if  
unavoidable use a wire type chain. If  
tire chains must be used, use gen-  
uine HYUNDAI parts and install the

tions provided with the tire chains.  
Damage to your vehicle caused by  
improper tire chain use is not cov-  
ered by your vehicle manufacturer's  
warranty.

Chain installation  
i
Information  
WARNING  
When installing tire chains, follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions and  
mount them as tightly possible. Drive  
slowly (less than 20 mph (30 km/h))  
with chains installed. If you hear the  
chains contacting the body or chas-  
sis, stop and tighten them. If they still  
make contact, slow down until the  
noise stops. Remove the tire 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 engine before installing snow  
chains.  
• Install tire chains on the front tires.  
It should be noted that installing tire  
chains on the tires will provide a  
greater driving force, but will not  
prevent side skids.  
The use of tire chains may  
adversely affect vehicle han-  
dling:  
• Drive less than 20 mph  
(30 km/h) or the chain manu-  
facturer's recommended speed  
limit, whichever is lower.  
• Drive carefully and avoid  
bumps, holes, sharp turns,  
and other road hazards, which  
may cause the vehicle to  
bounce.  
• Avoid sharp turns or locked  
wheel braking.  
• Do not install studded tires without  
first checking local, state and  
municipal regulations for possible  
restrictions against their use.

Driving your vehicle  
Change to "winter weight" oil if  
necessary  
Winter Precautions  
Use high quality ethylene glycol  
coolant  
NOTICE  
- When using tire chains:  
In some climates it is recommended  
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"  
oil be used during cold weather. See  
chapter 8 for recommendations. If  
you aren't sure what weight oil you  
should use, consult an authorized  
HYUNDAI dealer.  
• Wrong size chains or improperly  
installed chains can damage  
your vehicle's brake lines, sus-  
pension, body and wheels.  
• Use SAE "S" class or wire  
chains.  
• If you hear noise caused by  
chains contacting the body,  
retighten the chain to prevent  
contact with the vehicle body.  
• To prevent body damage,  
retighten the chains after driving  
0.3~0.6 miles (0.5~1.0 km).  
Your vehicle is delivered with high  
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the  
cooling system. It is the only type of  
coolant that should be used because  
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-  
ing system, lubricates the water  
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure  
to replace or replenish your coolant  
in accordance with the maintenance  
schedule in chapter 7. Before winter,  
have your coolant tested to assure  
that its freezing point is sufficient for  
the temperatures anticipated during  
the winter.  
Check battery and cables  
Winter puts additional burdens on  
the battery system. Visually inspect  
the battery and cables as described  
in chapter 7. The level of charge in  
your battery can be checked by an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or a  
service station.  
• Do not use tire chains on vehi-  
cles equipped with aluminum  
wheels. If unavoidable, use a  
wire type chain.  
• Use wire chains less than 0.59  
inch (15 mm) wide to prevent  
damage to the chain’s connec-  
tion.

TRAILER TOWING  
If you are considering to tow with your  
vehicle, you should first check with  
your state's Department of Motor  
Vehicles to determine legal require-  
ments. Since laws vary from state to  
state the requirements for towing  
trailers, vehicles, or other types of  
vehicles or apparatus may differ. Ask  
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for  
further details before towing.  
If you decide to pull a trailer  
Here are some important points if  
you decide to pull a trailer:  
WARNING  
Take the following precautions:  
• Consider using a sway control.You  
can ask a trailer hitch dealer about  
sway control.  
• Do not do any towing with your  
vehicle during its first 1,200 miles  
(2,000 km) in order to allow the  
engine to properly break in. Failure  
to heed this caution may result in  
serious engine or transmission  
damage.  
• When towing a trailer, be sure to  
consult an authorized HYUNDAI  
dealer for further information on  
additional requirements such as a  
towing kit, etc.  
• Always drive your vehicle at a mod-  
erate speed (less than 60 mph  
(100 km/h)) or posted towing  
speed limit.  
• If you don't use the correct  
towing equipment, or if you  
drive improperly while towing,  
you can lose control of the  
vehicle when pulling a trailer.  
For example, if the trailer is  
too heavy, the braking per-  
formance may be reduced.  
You and your passengers  
could be seriously or fatally  
injured. Pull a trailer only if  
you have followed all the  
steps in this section.  
• Before towing, make sure the  
total trailer weight, GCW  
(Gross Combination Weight),  
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight),  
GAW (Gross Axle Weight ) and  
trailer tongue load are all with-  
in the limits.  
Remember that trailering is different  
than just driving your vehicle by itself.  
Trailering means changes in han-  
dling, durability, and fuel economy.  
Successful, safe trailering requires  
correct equipment, and it has to be  
used properly. Damage to your vehi-  
cle caused by improper trailer towing  
is not covered by your vehicle manu-  
facturer’s warranty.  
This section contains many time-  
tested, important trailering tips and  
safety rules. Many of these are  
important for your safety and that of  
your passengers. Please read this  
section carefully before you pull a  
trailer.  
• On a long uphill grade, do not  
exceed 45 mph (70 km/h) or the  
posted towing speed limit,  
whichever is lower.  
• Carefully observe the weight and  
load limits provided in the following  
pages.

Total trailer weight  
Tongue load  
WARNING  
Take the following precautions:  
• Never load a trailer with more  
weight in the rear than in the  
front. The front should be  
loaded with approximately  
60% of the total trailer load;  
the rear should be loaded with  
approximately 40% of the total  
trailer load.  
• Never exceed the maximum  
weight limits of the trailer or  
trailer towing equipment.  
Improper loading can result in  
damage to your vehicle and/or  
personal injury. Check weights  
and loading at a commercial  
scale or highway patrol office  
equipped with scales.

also depend on any special equip-  
ment that you have on your vehicle.  
After you've loaded your trailer,  
weigh the trailer and then the tongue,  
separately, to see if the weights are  
proper. If they aren’t, you may be  
able to correct them simply by mov-  
ing some items around in the trailer.

Driving your vehicle  
Trailer towing equipment  
Hitches  
It's important to have the correct  
hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large  
trucks going by, and rough roads are  
a few reasons why you’ll need the  
right hitch. Here are some rules to  
follow:  
• Do you have to make any holes in  
the body of your vehicle when you  
install a trailer hitch? If you do, then  
be sure to seal the holes later  
when you remove the hitch. If you  
don’t seal them, carbon monoxide  
(CO) from your exhaust can get  
into your vehicle, as well as dirt  
and water.

Towing a trailer requires a certain  
amount of experience. Before setting  
out for the open road, you must get  
to know your trailer. Acquaint your-  
self 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

Trailer brakes must be applied sepa-  
rately from your vehicle's brake sys-  
tem.

During your trip, occasionally check  
to be sure that the load is secure,  
and that the lights and trailer brakes  
are still working.  
WARNING  
Do not use a trailer with its own  
brakes unless you are absolute-  
ly certain that you have properly  
set up the brake system. Use an  
experienced, competent trailer  
shop for this work.

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 occasion-  
ally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still  
working. You must also check the  
lights every time you disconnect and  
then reconnect the wires.  
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 possi-  
ble, have someone guide you.  
5-134  
Driving on hills  
Parking on hills  
NOTICE  
Reduce speed and shift to a lower  
gear before you start down a long or  
steep downgrade. If you don't shift  
down, you might have to use your  
brakes so much that they would get  
overheated and may not operate effi-  
ciently.  
On a long uphill grade, shift down  
and reduce your speed to around 45  
mph (70 km/h) to reduce the possibil-  
ity of engine and transmission over-  
heating.  
If your trailer weighs more than the  
maximum trailer weight without trailer  
brakes, you should drive in D (Drive)  
when towing a trailer. Operating your  
vehicle in D (Drive) when towing a  
trailer will minimize heat build-up and  
extend the life of your transmission.  
Generally, if you have a trailer attached  
to your vehicle, you should not park  
your vehicle on a hill.  
To prevent engine and/or trans-  
mission overheating:  
• When towing a trailer on steep  
grades (in excess of 6%) pay  
close attention to the engine  
coolant temperature gauge to  
ensure the engine does not  
overheat. If the needle of the  
coolant temperature gauge  
moves towards "H" (HOT), pull  
over and stop as soon as it is  
safe to do so, and allow the  
engine to idle until it cools  
down.You may proceed once the  
engine has cooled sufficiently.  
• When towing a trailer, your vehi-  
cle 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 vehi-  
cle speed according to the max-  
imum posted speed limit for  
vehicles with trailers, the steep-  
ness of the grade, and your trail-  
er weight.  
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  
area.  
Turn the steering wheel in the  
direction of the curb (right if head-  
ed down hill, left if headed up hill).  
2. Shift the vehicle 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.

5. Start the vehicle, apply the brakes,  
shift to neutral, release the park-  
ing brake and slowly release the  
brakes until the trailer chocks  
absorb the load.  
6. Reapply the brakes and parking  
brakes.  
Driving the vehicle after it has  
been parked on a hill  
1. With the gear shift lever in P  
(Park), apply the brakes and hold  
the brake pedal down while per-  
forming the following:  
Maintenance when trailer tow-  
ing  
Your vehicle will need service more  
often when you regularly pull a trail-  
er. Important items to pay particular  
attention to include engine oil, auto-  
matic transmission fluid, axle lubri-  
cant 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  
hitch. Follow the maintenance sched-  
ule that accompanied your trailer and  
check it periodically. Preferably,  
inspect the vehicle and trailer at the  
start of each day's driving. Inspect  
the hitch mounting to make sure the  
hitch is properly secured to the vehi-  
cle. Inspect the trailer electrical  
wiring to make sure brake lights, turn  
signal lights, running lights, and haz-  
ard lights are working properly.  
• Start your engine;  
• Shift into gear; and  
• Release the parking brake.  
7. Move the shift lever to P (Park).  
8. Shut off the vehicle and release  
the vehicle brakes but leave the  
parking brake set.  
2. Slowly remove your foot from the  
brake pedal.  
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear  
of the chocks.  
4. Stop and have someone pick up  
and store the chocks.  
WARNING  
• Do not get out of the vehicle  
without the parking brake  
firmly set. If you have left the  
engine running, the vehicle  
can move suddenly. You and  
others could be seriously or  
fatally injured.  
• Do not apply the accelerator  
pedal to hold the vehicle on  
an uphill.  
5-136  
NOTICE  
To prevent vehicle damage:  
• Due to higher load during trailer  
usage, overheating might occur  
on hot days or during uphill driv-  
ing. If the coolant gauge indi-  
cates over-heating, switch off  
the air conditioner and stop the  
vehicle in a safe area to cool  
down the engine.  
• When towing check the automat-  
ic transmission fluid more fre-  
quently.

vehicle, the number of people that can be in your vehicle and vehicle capacity weight.  
5-139  
Driving your vehicle  
Vehicle capacity weight  
970 lbs. (440 kg)  
Vehicle capacity weight is the maxi-  
mum combined weight of occupants  
and cargo. If your vehicle is equipped  
with a trailer, the combined weight  
includes the tongue load.  
Towing capacity  
Without trailer brakes  
1000 lbs (454 kg)  
Steps for determining correct  
load limit  
1. Locate the statement "The com-  
bined weight of occupants and  
cargo should never exceed XXX  
kg or XXX lbs." on your vehicle's  
placard.  
With trailer brakes  
1500 lbs (680 kg)  
2. Determine the combined weight of  
the driver and passengers that will  
be riding in your vehicle.  
3. Subtract the combined weight of  
the driver and passengers from  
XXX kg or XXX lbs.  
4. The resulting figure equals the  
available amount of cargo and lug-  
gage load capacity. For example, if  
the "XXX" amount equals 1400  
lbs. and there will be five 150 lb  
passengers in your vehicle, the  
amount of available cargo and lug-  
gage load capacity is 650 lbs.  
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)  
Towing capacity is the maximum  
trailer weight including its cargo  
weight that your vehicle can tow.  
Seating capacity  
Total : 5 persons  
(Front seat : 2 persons,  
Rear seat : 3 persons)  
Cargo capacity  
The cargo capacity of your vehicle  
will increase or decrease depending  
on the weight and the number of  
occupants and the tongue load, if  
your vehicle is equipped with a trailer.  
Seating capacity is the maximum  
number of occupants including a  
driver, your vehicle may carry.  
However, the seating capacity may  
be reduced based upon the weight of  
all of the occupants, and the weight  
of the cargo being carried or towed.  
Do not overload the vehicle as there  
is a limit to the total weight, or load  
limit including occupants and cargo,  
the vehicle can carry.  
5-140  
5. Determine the combined weight of  
luggage and cargo being loaded  
on the vehicle. That weight may  
not safely exceed the available  
cargo and luggage load capacity  
calculated in Step 4.  
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trail-  
er, load from your trailer will be  
transferred to your vehicle. Consult  
this manual to determine how this  
reduces the available cargo and  
luggage load capacity of your vehi-  
cle.  
WARNING  
Do not overload the vehicle as  
there is a limit to the total  
weight, or load limit, including  
occupants and cargo, the vehi-  
cle can carry. Overloading can  
shorten the life of the vehicle. If  
the GVWR or the GAWR is  
exceeded, parts on the vehicle  
can break, and it can change the  
handling of your vehicle. These  
could cause you to lose control  
and result in an accident.

WARNING  
If you carry items inside your  
vehicle (e.g., suitcases, tools,  
packages, or anything else),  
they are moving as fast as the  
vehicle. If you have to stop or  
turn quickly, or if there is a  
crash, the items will keep going  
and can cause an injury if they  
strike the driver or a passenger.  
• Put items in the cargo area of

Overloading  
5
The certification label is located on  
the driver’s door sill at the center pil-  
lar and shows the maximum allow-  
able weight of the fully loaded vehi-  
cle. This is called the GVWR (Gross  
Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR  
includes the weight of the vehicle, all  
occupants, fuel and cargo.  
This label also tells you the maxi-  
mum weight that can be supported  
by the front and rear axles, called  
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).  
• Never exceed the GVWR for  
your vehicle, the GAWR for  
either the front or rear axle  
and vehicle capacity weight.  
Exceeding these ratings can  
affect your vehicle’s handling  
and braking ability, and cause  
an accident.  
• Do not overload your vehicle.  
Overloading your vehicle can  
cause heat buildup in your  
vehicle’s tires and possible  
tire failure, increased stop-  
ping distances and poor vehi-  
cle handling-all of which may  
result in a crash.  
• Do not leave an unsecured  
child restraint in your vehicle.  
• When you carry something  
inside the vehicle, secure it.
