Driving Your Vehicle

WARNING

Carbon monoxide (CO) is poisonous. Inhaling CO can cause loss of consciousness and death. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which cannot be seen or smelled.

Do not breathe engine exhaust gases. If you ever smell engine exhaust inside the vehicle, open the windows immediately. Exposure to CO can cause loss of consciousness and death by asphyxiation. Make sure the exhaust system does not leak. The exhaust system should be inspected whenever the vehicle is raised for oil change or any other purpose. If you hear a change in exhaust sound or if you drive over something that strikes the underside of the vehicle, the exhaust system must be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Idling the engine in a garage, even with the garage door open, is a dangerous practice. Run the engine only long enough to start it and drive the vehicle out of the garage. Avoid prolonged engine idling when people are in the vehicle.

If it is necessary to idle the engine for a long time with people in the vehicle, always do so only in an open area with the air intake set to the "Fresh" mode and the fan control set to high speed so that fresh air flows inside.

Keep the air intakes clean. To ensure proper ventilation system operation, keep the ventilation air intakes located in front of the windshield clear of snow, ice, leaves, or other obstructions.

If you must drive with the luggage compartment door open: Close all windows. Open the instrument panel ventilation vents. Set the air intake control to "Fresh," the air flow mode control to "Floor" or "Face," and the fan control to high.
