Good driving practicesNever lake the car Qut of gear andcoasl down a hill. This is extremelyhazardous. Always leave the car ingear.Don'l "ride" the brakes. This can causethem to overheat and malfunction.Instead, when you are driving down along hill, slow down and shift to a lowergear. When you do this, engine brakingwill help slow the car.Slow down before shifting to a lowergear. This will help avoid over-rewingthe engine, which can cause damage.

• Slow down whon you encounter crosswinds. This gives you much better con­trol of your car.

• Be sure the car is completely stoppedbefore you attempt to shift into reverse.The Iransaxle can be damaged il youdo not. To shift into reverse, depressItle clutch, move the shift lever 10 neu­tral, wail three seconds. then shift 10the reverse position.

• Exercise eXlreme caution when drivingon a slippery surface. Be especiallycareful when braking, accelerating orshifting gears. On a slippery surface,an abrupl change in vehicle speed cancause the drive wheels to lose tractionand the vehicle to go out of cootrol.

A WARNING• Always buckl&-upl In a collision,

an unbelted oecupent is signifi­cantly more likely to be seriouslyInjured or killed than a properlybelted oceupant.

• Avoid high speeds when corner­ing or turning.

• 00 not make quick steeringwheel movements, such as sharplane changes or fast, sharp tums.

• The risk of rollover Is greatlyincreased If you lose control ofyour vehicle at highway speeds.

• Loss of contrd often occurs Ittwo Of" more wheels drop off theroadway and the driver over­steers to reenter the roadway.

• In the event your vehicle leavesthe roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pullingbaek into the travel lanes.

• Never exceed posted speed lim­its.

If your car is equipped with an autO­matic transaxle, don't let your carcreep forward. To avoid creeping kH­ward. keep your foot firmly on thebrake pedal when the car is stopped.

• Use caullen when parking on a hill.Firmly engage the parldng brake andplace the gear selector lever in P (aLI1O­matle ltansaxle) or in first or reversegear (manual lransaxle). If your car isfacing downhill, lurn the lroot wheelsinto the kerb 10 help keep me car fromrolling. If your car is lacing UphiH. turnthe lrorJt wheels tMay from the kerb tohelp keep the car from rolling. If thereis 00 kerb or if it is required by oittercondoons to keep the car from rolling,block the wheels.

• Under some conditions your parkingbrake can freeze in the engaged posi­tiOn_ This is most likely to happen whenthere is an accumulation of snow or icearound Of near the rear brakes or tf thebrakes are weI. If there is a risk that theparking brake may freeze, apply It onlytemporarily whilst you put the gearselector lever In P (automaticlransaxfe) or In first or reverse gear(manual transaxle) and block the rearwheels so the car cannot roll. Thenrelease the parking brake.

• Do not hold the vehicle on the upgradewilh the acceleralor pedal. This cancause the transaxle to overheat.Always use the brake pedal or parkingbrake.

ECONOMICAL OPERATIONE100000AFD-UK

Your vehicle's fuel economy depondsmainly on your style of driving. where youdrive and when you drive.Each of Ihese factors affects how manymiles (kilometers) you can get from a gal.Ion (litre) of fuel. To operate your vehicleas economically as possible, use the fol·lowing driving suggestions to help savemoney in both fuel and repairs:• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moder­

ate rate. Don', make "jack-rabbit" startsor full-throttle shifts and maIntain asteady cruising speed. Don't racebetween stoplights. Try to adjust yourspeed to that of the other traffic so youdon't have to change speeds unneces­sarily. Avoid heavy traffic wheneverpossible. Always maintain a safe dis­tance from other vehicles so you canavoid unnecessary braking. This alsoreduces brake wear.

• Drive al a moderate speed. The lasteryou drive, the more luel your car uses.Driving at a moderale speed. especial­lyon the highway, is one of the mosleffective ways to reduce luel consump­lion.

• Don't 'ride' the brake or dutch pedal.This can increase fuel consumptionand also increase wear on these com­ponents. In addition, driving with yourfoot resting on the brake pedal maycause the brakes 10 overheat, whichreduces their effectiveness and maylead to more serious consequences.

• Take care 01 your tyres. Keep themInflated to the recommended pressure.Incorrect inflation, either too much or100 lillie, results in unnecessary lyrewear. Check the tyre pressures at leastonce a month.

• Be sure that the wheels are alignedcorreclly. Improper alignment canresul1 from hitting kerbs or driving tootast over irregular surlaces. Poor align­ment causes laster tyre wear and mayalso result In other prOblems as well asgreater fuel consumption.

• Keep your car in good condition. Forbetter fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain your carin accordance with the maintenanceschedule in Section 7. If you drive yourcar in severe conditions, more frequenlmaintenance is required (see Section7 for details).

Driving your vehicle

• Keep your car clean. For maximumservice. your vehicle should be keptdean and free 01 corrosive materials. Itis especially important that mud, dirt,ice. elc. nol be allo....red 10 accumulateon the underside of the car. This exiraweight can resull in increased fuel can·sumption and also contribute to corro­sion.

• Travel lightly. Don't carry unnecessaryweight in your car. Weight reduces fueleconomy.Don't let the engine idle longer thannecessary. if you are waiting (and notin traffic), turn off your engine andrestart only when YOU're ready to go.

• Remember, your vehicle does notrequire extended warm-up. After theengine has started, allow the engine torun for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac­ing the vehicle in gear. In very coldweather, however, give your engine aslightly longer warm-up period.

• Don't "labour" or "over-rev'the engine.Labouring is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the vehicle kan­garooing. If this happens, shift to aiower gear. Over-revving is racing theengine beyond its safe limit. This canbe avokled by shifting at the recom­mended speeds.

Driving your vehicle

• Use your air conditioning sparingly.The air conditioning system is operat­ed by engine power so your fuel econ­omy is reduced when you use it.

• Open windows al high speeds canreduce fuel economy.

• Fuel economy is less in crosswindsand headwinds. To help offset some ofthis loss, slow down when driving inthese conditions.

Keeping a vehicle in good operaling con­dition is important both for economy andsafety. Therefore, have a HYUNDAIauthorised repairer perform scheduledinspections and maintenance.

A WARNING· Engine off duroing motion

A WARNING - Weight limn.Before towing, make sure the totalIraller weight, gross combinationweight, gross vehicle weight, grossaxle weight and trailer nose weightere all within the limits.

This section contains many lime-tested,important tmitering tips and salety rules.Many of these are important for yoursafety and that 01 your passengers.Please read this section carelully beforeyou pull a trailer.

Load-pulling components such as theengine_ transaxte, wheel assemblies, andlyres are forced to work harder againstthe load ol1he added weight. The engineis required to operate at relatively higherspeeds and under greater loads. Thisadditional burden generates exira heat.The trailer also adds considerably towind resistance, increasing the pullingrequirements.

Your vehicle can low a trailer. To Identifywhat the vehicle trailering capacily is loryour vehicle. you should read the inlor­mation in 'Weight of the trallef' thatappears later in this seclion.

Remember that tral'ering is different thanjust driving your vehicle by ItseH.Trailering means changes In handling,durability, and luel economy. Successful,safe trailering requires correct equip­menl, and it has to be used properly.

A WARNING - Towing a trail~er

If you don't use the correct equip­ment and drive improperly, you canlose control when you pull a trailer.For example, if the trailer is tooheavy, the brakes may not workwell • or even at all. You and yourpassengers could be seriously orfatally injured. Pull a trailer only ifyou have followed all lhe steps inthis section.

Weight of the trailerHow heavy can a trailer safely be? Itshould never weigh more than the maxi­mum trailer weight with trailer brakes. Buteven that can be too heavy.It depends on how you plan to use yourtrailer. For example, speed, altitude, roadgrades, outside temperature and howoften your vehicle is used to pull a trailerare all important. The ideal trailer weightcan also depend on any special equip­ment that.you have on your vehicle.

This weightincludes the kerb weight of the vehicle,any cargo you may carry in it, and thepeople who will be riding in the vehicle.And if you will tow a trailer, you must addthe nose weight to the GVW becauseyour vehicle will also be carrying thatweight.The trailer nose should weigh a maxi­mum of 10% of the total loaded trailerweight, within the limits of the maximumtrailer nose weight permissible. Afteryou've loaded your trailer, weigh the trail­er and then the nose, separately, to seeif the weights are proper. If they aren't,you may be able to correct them simplyby moving some items around in thetrailer.

Please note that the TPMS is not asubstitute for proper tyre mainte·nance, and it is the driver's responsi­bility to maintain correct tyre pres­sure, even if under·inflation has notreached the level to trigger iliumina·lion 01 the TPMS low lyre pressuretelltale.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)

As an added safety feature, yourvehicle has been equipped with atyre pressure monitoring system(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyrepressure telltale when one or moreof your tyres is significanlly under­inflated. Accordingly, when the lowtyre pressure telltale illuminates, youshould stop and check your tyres assoon as possible, and inflate them tothe proper pressure. Driving on a sig­nificantly under-inflated tyre causesthe tyre to overheat and can lead totyre failure. Under-inflation alsoreduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread

ItcAunoNNEVER use a puncturfHf1PBlr­ing agent to repair andlor Inflatea low pressure tyre. The lyresealant can damage the lyrepressure sensor. If used. youwill have to replace the tyrepressure sensor.

Each wheel is equipped with a tyrepressure sensor mounted inside thelyre behind the valve stem. You mustuse TPMS specific wheels. It is rec­ommended that you always haveyour lyres serviced by a HYUNDAIauthorised repaIrer.

Even if you replace the low pressuretyre with the spare lyre, the TPMSmaHunction indicator may turn onand the Low Tyre Pressure telltalemay turn off after restarting andabout 20 minutes of continuous drlv·Ing before you have the low pressuretyre repaired and replaced on thevehicle.However, If the low pressure tyre isnot in the vehicle, the Low TyrePressure and Position telltales will gooff and the TPMS malfur.ction indica­tor will go on after a few minutesbecause the spare tyre does nothave a sensor.Once the low pressure lyre is re­inflated to the recommended pres­sure and Installed on the vehicle, theTPMS malfunction indicator and thelow tyre pressure and position tel!­tales will extinguish within a few min­utes of driving.It the indicators are not extinguishedafter a few minutes of driving, pleasevisit a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.

You may not be able identify a lowtyre by simply looking at it. Alwaysuse a good quality tyre pressuregauge to measure the tyre's inflationpressure. Please note that a tyre thatis hot (from being driven) will have ahigher pressure measurementlhan atyre thaI is cold (from sitting slalion­ary for at leasl 3 hours and drivenless than 1 mile (1.6km) during that 3hour period).Allow the lyre to cool before measur­ing the inflation pressure. Always besure the tyre is cold before inflatingto the recommended pressure.A cold lyre means the vehicle hasbeen sitting for 3 hours and driven forless than 1 mile (1 .6km) in thai 3hour period.

it CAUTIONDo not use any tyre sealant ifyour vehicle is equipped with aTyre Pressure MonitoringSystem. The liquid sealant candamage the tyre pressure sen·sors.

A WARNING· TPMS• The TPMS cannot alert you to

severe and sudden tyre dam­age caused by external fac­tors such ·as nails or roaddebris.

• tf you feel any vehicle Instabil­ity, immediately lake your tootoff the accelerator. apply thebrakes gradually and withlight force. and slowly move toa sate position oft the road.

A WARNING - ProtectingTPMS

Tampering with, modifying, ordisabling the Tyre PressureMonitoring System (TPMS)components may interfere withthe system's ability to warn thedriver of low tyre pressure con­ditIons and/or TPMS malfunc­tions. Tampering with, modify­ing, or disabling the TyrePressure Monitoring System(TPMS) components may voidthe warranty tor that portion ofthe vehicle.

TYRES AND WHEELSG2OOl00AUN-UK

Tyre careFor proper maintenance, safety, andmaximum fuel economy, you mustalways maintain recommended tyreinflation pressures and stay withinthe load limits and weight distributionrecommended tor your vehicle.

G200200AFD-UK

Recommended cold tyre InflationpressuresAll tyre pressures (InclUding thespare) should be checked when thetyres are cold. "Cold Tyres" meansthe vehicle has not been driven for atJeasllhree hours or driven less thanone mile (-1.6 km).Recommended pressures must bemaintained for the best ride, top vehi­cle handling, and minimum tyrewear.For recommended inflation pressurereter to «Tyre and wheels" in section9.

All specifications (sizes and pres­sures) can be found on a labelattached to the vehicle.

A WARNING· Tyre underin-f1ation

Severe underlnflation (10 psi(70 kPa) or more) can lead tosevere heat build-Up, causingblowouts, tread separation andother tyre failures that canresult In the loss of vehicle con­trol leading to severe injury ordeath. This risk is much higheron hot days and when drivingfor long periods at high speeds.

it CAUTION - Tyre pressureAlways observe the following:-Check tyre pressure when the

tyres are cold. (After vehiclehas been parked for at leastthree hours or hasn't beendriven more than one mile (1.6km) since startup.)

- Check the pressure. of yourspare tyre each time youcheck the pressure of othertyres.

• Never overload your vehicle.Be careful not to overload avehicle luggage rack If yourvehicle Is equipped with one.

• Worn, old tyres can causeaccidents. If your tread Isbadly worn, or If your tyreshave been damaged, replacethem.

A WARNING - Tyre inflationOverinflation or underinflationcan reduce tyre life, adverselyaffect vehicle handling, andlead to sudden tyre failure. Thiscould result in loss of vehiclecontrol and potential injury.

& CAUTION• Warm tyres normally exceed

recommended cold tyrepres~

sures by 4to 6 psi (28 to 41kPa). Do not release air fromwarm tyres to adjust the pres­sure or the lyres will be under­Inflated.

- Be sure to reinstall the tyreInflation valve caps. Withoutthe valve cap, dirt or moisturecould get Into the valve coreand cause air leakage. If avalve cap Is missing, Install anew one as soon as possible.

& CAUTION• Underlnflalion also results In

excessive wear, poor handlingand reduced fuel economy.Wheel deformation also Ispossible. Keep your tyre pres­sures at the proper levels. If atyre frequently needs refilling,have it chec;ked by a HYUNDAIauthorised repairer.

- OverlnfJatlon produces aharsh ride, excessive wear atthe centre of the tyre tread,and a greater possibility ofdamage from road hazards.

Checking tyre inflation pressureCheck your tyres once a month ormore.Also, check the tyre pressure of thespare tyre.

G200301AFD-UK

How to checkUse a good quality gauge to checktyre pressure. You can not tell if yourtyres are properly inflated simply bylooking at them. Radial tyres maylook properly inflated even whenthey're underinflated.Check the tyre's inflation pressurewhen the tyres are cold. - "Cold"means your vehicle has been sittingfor at least three hours or driven nomore than 1 mile (1.6 km).

iT34,,,

Remove the valve cap from the tyrevalve stem. Press the tyre gaugefirmly onto the valve to get a pres­sure measurement. If the cold tyreinflation pressure matches the rec­ommended pressure on the tyre andloading information label, no furtheradjustment is necessary. If the pres­sure is low, add air until you reachthe recommended amount.If you overfill the tyre, release air bypushing on the metal stem in thecentre of the tyre valve. Recheck thetyre pressure with the tyre gauge. Besure to put the valve caps back onthe valve stems. They help preventleaks by keeping out dirt and mois­ture.

A WARNING• Inspect your tyres frequently

for proper inflation as well aswear and damage. Always usea tyre pressure gauge.

• Tyres with too much or too lit­tle pressure wear unevenlycausing poor handling, loss ofvehicle control, and suddentyre failure leading to acci­dents, injuries, and even death.The recommended cold tyrepressure for your vehicle canbe found in this manual and onthe tyre label located on thedriver's side centre pillar.

• Worn tyres can cause acci­dents. Replace tyres that areworn, show uneven wear, orare damaged.

• Remember to check the pres­sure of your spare tyre.HYUNDAI recommends thatyou check the spare everytime you check the pressureof the other tyres on yourvehicle.

Tyre rotationTo equalize tread wear, it is recom­mended thaI the tyres be rota1edevery 7,500 miles (12,000 km) orsooner if irregular wear develops.During rotation, check the tyres forcorrect balance.When rotating tyres, check foruneven wear and damage. Abnormalwear is usually caused by incorrecttyre pressure, Improper wheel align­ment, out-of-balance wheels, severebtaking or severe cornering. Look forbumps or bulges in the tread or sideof tyre. Replace the tyre if you findeither of these conditions. Replacethe tyre if fabrtc or cord is visible.After rotation, be sure to bring thefront and rear tyre pressures to spec­ification and check lug nut tightness.Refer to 'lyre and wheels" in section9.

Tyre replacementIf the tyre is wom evenly. a treadwear indicator will appear as a solidband across the tread. This showsthere is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm)of tread left on the tyre. Replace thetyre when this happens.Do not wait for the band to appearacross the entire tread before replac­ing the tyre.

A WARNING· Replacingtyres

To reduce the chance or seriousor fatal infurles from an acci­dent eaused by tyre failure orloss of vehicle control:• Replace tyres that are worn,

show uneven wear, or aredamaged. Worn tyres caneause loss of braking effec­tiveness, steering control, andtraction.

• Do not drive your vehicle withtoo little or too much pressurein your tyres. This can lead touneven wear and tyre failure.

• When replacing tyres, nevermix radial and bias-ply lyreson the same car. You mustreplace all tyres (including thespare) If moving from radial toblas-pty tyres.

3. Checking tyre fife (TIN : Tyreidentification Number)

Any tyres that are over 6 years,based on the manufacturing date,tyre strength and performance,decline with age naturally (evenunused spare tyres). Therefore, thetyres (including the spare tyre)should be replaced by new ones. Youcan find the manufacturing date onthe lyre sidewall (possibly on theinside of the wheel), displaying theDOT Code. The DOT Gode is aseries of numbers on a tyre consist·ing of numbers and English letters.The manufacturing date is designat­ed by the last four digits (characters)of the DOT code.

DOT: XXXX XXXX 0000The fronl part of the DOT means aplant code number, tyre size andtread pattern and the last four num·bers indicate week and year manu­factured.For example:DOT XXXX XXXX 1606 representsthat tho tyre was produced in the16th week of 2006.

Corrosion protectionProtecting )'our vehicle from corrosionIn using the most advanced design andconstruction practices, every HYUNDAIis buill to retain its original factory finishfor many years. However, long term dura­bility is also greatly dependant uponmaintaining the various protection sys"terns and coatings used in manufacturesince constant exposure to the elementswill eventually result in their breakdownand loss of effectiveness. The followingsuggestions are made to assist in themaintenance of the vehicle bodywork.

Common causes of corrosionThe most common causes of corrosionon your car are:• Road sail, dirt and moisture that is

allowed to accumulate underneath thecar.

• Removal of paint or protective coatingsby stones, gravel, abrasion or minorscrapes and dents which leave unpro­tected metal exposed to corrosion.

------jT6ii" -----------------------------

,

High-corrosion areasIf you live in an area where your car isregularly exposed to corrosive materials,corrosion protection is particularly impor­tant. Some of the common causes ofaccelerated corrosion are road salts,dust control chemicals, ocean air andindustrial pollution.

Moisture breeds corrosionMoisture creates the conditions in whichcorrosion is most likely to occur. Forexample, corrosion is accelerated byhigh humidity, particularly when tempera­tures are just above freezing. In suchconditions, the corrosive material is keptin contact with the car surfaces by mois­ture that is slow to evaporate.Mud is particularly corrosive because it isslow to dry and holds moisture in contactwith the vehicle. Although the mudappears to be dry, it can still retain themoisture and promote corrosion.High temperatures can also acceleratecorrosion of parts that are not properlyventilated so the moisture can be dis­persed. For all these reasons, it is par­ticularly important to keep your car cleanand free of mud or accumulations ofother materials. This applies not only tothe visible surfaces but particularly to theunderside of the car.

Page 143: Year2008 i30 Owners Manual Scan OCR Pages 181-335

To help prevenl corrosiun

You can help prevent corrosion from gal·ling Slarted by observing the following:

Keep your car cleanThe best way to prevent corrosion is tokeep your car clean and free ot corrosivematerials. Attention to the undersk:fe ofthe car is particularly important.

• If you live in a high-eorrosion area ­where road salts are used, near theocean, areas with industrial pollution,acid rain, etc.-, you should take extracare to prevent corrosion. In winter,hose off the underside of your car atleast once a month and be sure toclean the underside thoroughly whenwinter is over.

When cleaning underneath the car,give particular attention to the compo­nents under the fenders and otherareas that are hidden from view. Do athorough job; just dampening the accu­mulated mud rather than washing iIaway will accelerate corrosion ratherthan prevent if. Waler under high pres­sure and steam are particularly ellec­tive In removing llccumulated mud andcorrosive materials.

• When cleaning lower door panels,rocker panels and frame members, besure that drain holes are kept open sothat moisture can escape and not betrapped inside to accelerate corrosion.

Keep your garage dryDon't park your car in a damp, poorlyventilated garage. This creates a favor·able environment lor corrosion, This isparticularly true if you wash your car inthe garage or drive it Into the garagowhen it is still wet or covered with snow,ice or mud. Even a heated garage cancontribute to corrosion unless it is wellventilated so moisture Is dispersed.

Maintenance

Keep paint and trim in good conditionScratches or chips in the finish should becovered with "touch-up" paint as soon aspossible 10 reduce the possibility or cor­rosion. If bare metal is showing through,the aUention of a qualilied body and paintshop is recommended.

Bird droppings: Bird droppings are high­ly corrosive and may damage paintedsurfaces in just a few hours. Alwaysremove bird droppings as soon as possi­ble.

Don't neglect the interiorMoisture can collect under the floor matsand carpeting 10 cause corrosion. Checkunder the mats periodically to be surethe carpeting is dry. Use particular care ifyou carry fertilizers, cleaning materials orchemicals in the car.These should be carried only in propercontainers and any spills or leaks shouldbe cleaned up, fiushed with clean waterand thoroughiy dried.
