Driving Your Vehicle

Malfunction

2C_ActiveAirFlapWarning
The active air flap system may not
operate normally if the air flap is
temporarily opened due to foreign factors
or if the controller is contaminated by
snow or rain, etc.
When "Check Active Air Flap system" is
popped up on display, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check the status of the air
flap.
Start the vehicle after performing the
necessary work like foreign matter
removal and waiting 10 minutes. If the
pop-up remains up we recommend that
you contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
CAUTION
• Regardless of the pop-up, if the air flaps
aren't in the same position, stop the
vehicle and wait for 10 minutes and
start the vehicle and inspect the air flap.
• The active air flap system is actuated by
motors. Do not disturb actuation or
apply force excessively. It may cause
failure.

Special driving conditions

Hazardous driving conditions

When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, and sand:
• Drive cautiously and allow for longer
braking distances.
• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
• If your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, or
sand, use the second gear. Accelerate
slowly to avoid unnecessary wheel spin.
• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains, or other
non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction if stuck in
ice, snow, or mud.
WARNING
Downshifting with an dual clutch
transmission while driving on slippery
surfaces may cause a collision. The
sudden change in tire speed may cause
the tires to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
