Service records are imperative to providing proof of maintenance and can add value to the vehicle. As part of your warranty, we require customers to perform all maintenance for Hyundai Canada to uphold its side of the warranty. Service records should be added to your service passport to help verify that maintenance has been performed. This is especially important if your vehicle is serviced by someone other than an authorized Hyundai dealer. Visit your local Hyundai dealer to obtain Genuine Hyundai Parts.

A recall is when a manufacturer determines that a vehicle model (or several models) has a safety-related defect or does not comply with the government-related safety standard. When this happens, the manufacturer will alert owners to the problem and usually offer a free repair. Keep in mind that a recall does not mean that the entire vehicle will be replaced.

To determine whether your Hyundai vehicle is affected by a recall, please visit Hyundai Canada’s recall website at https://www.hyundaicanada.com/en/owners-section/recalls. You will be able to look up all recalls associated with your Hyundai vehicle using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the search function of the website.

Reimbursements happen when customers are charged for recalls. Recalls are zero-cost to a customer. In cases where a customer is charged for anything related to a recall, the customer will be reimbursed in full.

We will send a letter to the home address associated with your affected vehicle.

This recall will be completed for you free of charge.

All recalls must be completed at a Hyundai dealership. Please call your local dealership to book an appointment to have the recall performed.

Check with your Owner’s Manual to ensure your vehicle can be recreationally towed. Please visit: https://www.hyundaicanada.com/en/owners-section/manuals

If your Hyundai has four-wheel drive or has automatic two-wheel drive, your vehicle must not be towed behind a recreational vehicle.

If your Hyundai has two-wheel drive and is equipped with a manual transmission, your vehicle can be towed recreationally. Please look at the precautions before attempting to tow your car.

Towing and weight capacity information is also available in your vehicle's Owner's Manual in the Trailer Towing section. Hyundai does not recommend exceeding your vehicle's load capacity as this could have an adverse effect on performance, braking, durability, and driving efficiency.

Yes, Hyundai vehicles offer excellent gas mileage, with many Hyundai vehicles offering better-than-average fuel economy compared to vehicles in their class, based on Natural Resources Canada's fuel consumption ratings datasets.

Several factors can affect your gas mileage including road conditions, weather, tire wear, weight of vehicle, etc. However, there are a number of simple techniques you can do to improve gas mileage:

• Drive sensibly. Aggressive driving (excessive speed, rapid acceleration, and hard braking) uses more gas. Such behaviour can lower your gas mileage by as much as 33% at highway speeds. Gas mileage usually decreases significantly at speeds above 100 kph.
• Keep your tires properly inflated. Under-inflated tires require more energy to roll, which translates into wasted fuel (it also leads to your tires wearing unevenly, which will shorten their lifespan). The recommended tire pressure for your vehicle is located in your Owner’s Manual if your vehicle is equipped with its original tires. If you have purchased new tires, please consult the guidelines provided by the tire manufacturer. Your Hyundai service professional can help you keep your tires at their proper inflation.
• Remove excess weight. Heavier vehicles require more energy to move, so carrying around excess weight will also affect your mileage. Empty out your trunk and backseat of unnecessary items
• Use Hyundai's Smart Cruise Control. If your vehicle is equipped with cruise control, using it during highway driving may help to improve your fuel economy.

The ELANTRA offers the best fuel economy of Hyundai Canada's vehicle line-up, offering a gasoline and hybrid option.

The KONA and VENUE offer the best fuel economy of Hyundai Canada's gasoline SUVs, while the TUCSON Hybrid is the most fuel efficient hybrid SUV.

The Active ECO button allows your vehicle to perform at the optimal level to receive maximum fuel efficiency by controlling the vehicle’s shifting patterns. The system is activated by the Active ECO button located by the driver’s left knee.

The Active ECO system modifies engine and transmission control specifically for improved fuel economy. The vehicle may not accelerate as fast when it is in Active Eco mode because it is operating at a level specifically intended to lower the fuel consumption rate. For best vehicle performance and drivability, turn your vehicle’s Active ECO off.

The dual clutch transmission (DCT) combines the best of automatic and manual transmission into one awesome technology. Drivers can enjoy the convenience of an automatic transmission, while maintaining control of the shifting.

You should be aware of the unique characteristics of the dual clutch transmission (DCT):

Your Hyundai does not require extended warm up. After the engine has started, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear. In very cold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up period, between 60-90 seconds. Letting your engine idle for long periods of time is bad for fuel efficiency.

The SHIFTRONIC feature allows the driver to manually upshift or downshift in a vehicle with an automatic transmission. You can use this feature in many circumstances, such as going uphill, passing another car, driving in inclement weather, etc.

Note that if the driver upshifts or downshifts, the transmission may not make the requested gear change if the next gear is outside the allowable engine RPM range.

Certain trims in model years 2013 or later are equipped with the SHIFTRONIC feature, which is also called Sports Mode in some models.

Using the SHIFTRONIC feature is simple. When your vehicle is in Drive, slide the shift lever into the SHIFTRONIC gear. Push the shift lever forward to upshift and backward to downshift.

Some vehicles are equipped with paddle shifters. To upshift, use the paddle shifter on the right side of the steering wheel, which is labeled with a “+” sign. To downshift, use the paddle shifter on the left side of the steering wheel, which is labeled with a “-“ sign.

If your company has five (5) or more registered, fully-licensed and titled vehicles in service, or if you're planning to buy at least five (5) new Hyundai vehicles at one time for company use, you may qualify for substantial savings.

To request a Hyundai Fleet Number (HFN), and establish a Fleet Account with Hyundai Canada, please contact your local Hyundai Dealership.

Customers are encouraged to work closely with the dealership of their choice. Your local dealer is well-suited to understand your fleet requirements and can create an operating plan that best suits your business needs.

The Hyundai Fleet Allowance program is a stand-alone program and cannot be combined with the current retail offers.

NACS, the North American Charging Standard, is a charging connector system originally developed by Tesla and becoming standardized by most automakers in North America.
