Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
WARNING Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) or
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system
will not prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle control
is improved during emergency braking,
always maintain a safe distance between
you and objects ahead of you. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The braking
distance for vehicles equipped with ABS
or ESC may be longer than for those
without these systems in the following
road conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced speeds
during the following conditions:
• Rough, gravel or snow-covered roads.
• On roads where the road surface is pitted or has different surface height.
• Tire chains are installed on your vehicle.
The safety features of ABS or ESC
equipped vehicle should not be tested by
high speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of yourself or
others.
ABS is an electronic braking system that
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows
the driver to steer and brake at the same
time.
Using ABS
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 distance
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 conditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when braking
hard. Severe or sharp steering 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 system
may result in a longer stopping distance
than for vehicles equipped with a
conventional brake system.
The ABS ( ) warning light will stay on
for several seconds after the Start/Stop
button is in the ON position.
During that time, 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.
WARNING
If the ABS ( ) warning light is on and
stays on, you may have a problem with
the ABS. Your power brakes will work
normally. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, contact your authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

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.
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
B6004101
Electronic Stability Control 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
electric vehicle control 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.
WARNING Never drive too fast for the road
conditions when cornering. ESC will not
prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaning on wet
surfaces can result in severe accidents.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the Start/Stop button is in the ON
position, ESC and the ESC OFF indicator
lights illuminate for about 3 seconds.
After both lights go off, ESC is enabled.
When operating
When ESC is in operation, 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 sensation in the
brake pedal. This is normal and it means
your ESC is active.
• When ESC activates, the vehicle may not respond to the accelerator as it
does under routine conditions.

• If Smart Cruise Control was in use when ESC activates, Smart Cruise Control
automatically disengages. Smart Cruise
Control can be reengaged when the
road conditions allow. For more
information, refer to the “Smart Cruise
Control (SCC)” section in chapter 7.
ESC OFF condition
To cancel ESC operation:
• State 1 Press the ESC OFF button briefly. The
ESC OFF indicator light and/or message
'Traction Control disabled' will
illuminate. In this state, the traction
control function of ESC (electric vehicle
control management) is disabled, but
the brake control function of ESC
(braking management) still operates.
• State 2 Press and hold the ESC OFF button
continuously for more than 3 seconds.
The ESC OFF indicator light and/or
message 'Traction & Stability Control
disabled' illuminates and a warning
chime sounds. In this state, both the
traction control function of ESC
(electric vehicle control management)
and the brake control function of ESC
(braking management) are disabled.
If the Start/Stop button is pressed to
the OFF position when ESC is off, ESC
remains off. Upon restarting the
vehicle, ESC will automatically turn on
again.
When ESC (electric vehicle control) is
deactivated, the vehicle will lose the
traction and stability if the vehicle is
driven by abrupt steering wheel
control. It is possible that the tire may
make a collision with the connected parts of the tire. Do not turn off ESC
while driving the vehicle for your safety.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent the
vehicle from rolling backwards when
starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. The
system operates the brakes automatically
for about 2 seconds (maximum of 5
seconds when the accelerator pedal is
slightly depressed during HAC operation)
and releases the brake after 2 seconds or
when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
WARNING Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting off an
incline. Hill-Start Assist Control activates
only for about 2 seconds (maximum of 5
seconds when the accelerator pedal is
slightly depressed during HAC operation).
Information • Hill-Start Assist Control does not operate when the gear is shifted to P (Park) or N
(Neutral).
• Hill-Start Assist Control activates even when the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is off. However, it does not
activate, when ESC does not operate
normally.
Brake Assistant System (BAS)
The Brake Assistant System provides
additional pressure when the brake pedal
is momentarily and strongly depressed in
a situation sudden braking is required
while driving.
The Brake Assistant System reduces the
time for ABS(Anti-Lock Brake System)
control to enter and consequently
reduces the braking distance, by
providing additional pressure up to the
point of ABS intervention.
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 34
Page 323 of 582

6-35
BAS operation
• When the vehicle speed is more than 18 mph (30 km/h) and the ABS control is
not entered.
• When the brake pedal is depressed strongly over a certain level.
• When the friction of the road surface is above a certain level.
BAS operation off
• The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The brake pedal is depressed over a certain conditions.
• The friction of the road surface is below a certain level.
WARNING The system may not operate depending
on driver's driving habit, the degree to
which the brake pedal is depressed and
the road surface condition.
Good Braking Practices
WARNING Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking,
always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal. Shift
the gear to the P (Park) position, then
apply the parking brake, and press the
Start/Stop button to the OFF position.
Vehicles parked with the parking brake
not applied or not fully engaged may roll
inadvertently and may cause injury to the
driver and others. ALWAYS apply the
parking brake before exiting the vehicle.
Be aware of wet brakes. 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.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes lightly
until the braking action returns to normal.
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 driving,
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 forward.

• Using regenerative braking helps the steering on the downhill. However, it
may be difficult to adjust the vehicle
while coasting using regenerative
braking, so avoid using the third level of
regenerative braking as much as
possible.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent skids.
• It is difficult to start again if the vehicle stops on an uphill road. Keep your
distance from other vehicles and drive
slowly.
Information When using Snow Tires, mount them on all
four wheels.
When using tire chains, install them on the
rear tires.
However, driving speed must be below 18
mph (30 km/h) and minimize the driving
distance. High-speed or long-term driving
with tire chains installed may malfunction or
damage the AWD system.
For more information on Snow Tires and Tire
Chains, refer to the "Winter Driving" section
later in this chapter.
Driving in sand or mud
• Maintain slow and constant speed.
• Use tire chains driving in mud if necessary.
• Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
• Reduce vehicle speed and always check the road condition.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent getting stuck.

Driving up or down hills
• Driving uphill
- Before starting off, check if it is possible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
• Driving downhill - Do not change gear while driving downhill. Select gear before driving
downhill.
- Drive straight as possible.
WARNING Exercise extreme caution driving up or
down steep hills. The vehicle may flip over
depending on the grade, terrain, water
and mud conditions.
WARNING Do not drive across the contour of steep
hills. A slight change in the wheel angle
can destabilize the vehicle, or a stable
vehicle may lose stability if the vehicle
stops its forward motion. Your vehicle
may roll over and lead to a serious injury
or death.
Driving through water
• Try to avoid driving in deep standing water.
• Do not change gear while driving in water.

Driving Your Vehicle
6-38
CAUTION Always drive slowly in water. If you drive
too fast, water may get into the motor
compartment, causing your vehicle to
suddenly stop.
Additional driving conditions
• Become familiar with the off-road conditions before driving.
• Always pay attention when driving off-road and avoid dangerous areas.
• Drive slowly when driving in heavy wind.
• Reduce vehicle speed when cornering. The center of gravity of AWD vehicles is
higher than conventional 2WD vehicles,
making them more likely to roll over
when you rapidly turn corners.
• Always hold the steering wheel firmly when you are driving off-road.
WARNING Do not grab the inside of the steering
wheel when you are driving off-road. You
may hurt your arm by a sudden steering
maneuver or from steering wheel
rebound due to an impact with objects on
the ground. You could lose control of the
steering wheel which may lead to serious
injury or death.
Emergency Precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip all
four tires with the same size, type, tread
patterns, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
WARNING Do not use tire and wheel with different
size and type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle,
which could lead to steering failure or
rollover causing serious injury.
WARNING
B6005201
Never start or run the vehicle while an
AWD vehicle is raised on a jack. The
vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or those
nearby.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more information, refer to the
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection
