The battery sensor deactiva-
tion
The battery sensor is deactivated,
when the battery is disconnected
from the negative pole for mainte-
nance purpose.
In this case, the ISG system is limit-
edly operated due to the battery sen-
sor deactivation. Thus, the driver
needs to take the following proce-
dures to reactivate the battery sen-
sor after disconnecting the battery.
Prerequisites to reactivate the
battery sensor
Keep the engine in the OFF status
for 4 hours, and attempt to restart the
engine 3 to 4 times for the battery-
sensor reactivation.
Pay extreme caution not to connect
any accessories (i.e. navigation and
black box) to the vehicle with the
engine in the OFF status. If not, the
battery sensor may not be reactivat-
ed.
Information
The ISG system may not operate in
the following situations.
- There is a malfunction with the IGS
system.
- The battery is weak.
- The brake vacuum pressure is low.
In those cases, we recommend you to
have the ISG system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer. • Use only the genuine HYUNDAI
ISG battery for replacement. If
not, the ISG system may not nor-
mally operate.
• Do not recharge the ISG battery
with a general battery charger. If
not, it may damage or explode
the ISG battery.
• Do not remove the battery cap. If
not, the battery electrolyte,
which is harmful to the human
body, may leak out.

according to the driver's preference
or road condition.
The system resets to be in the NOR-
MAL mode (except if it is in ECO
mode), when the engine is restarted.

ment cluster, the drive mode will be in
NORMAL mode and may not change
to ECO mode or SPORT mode.
The mode changes, as below,
whenever the DRIVE MODE button
is pressed.
When NORMAL mode is selected,
it is not displayed on the instrument
cluster.
ECO mode
When the Drive Mode is
set to ECO mode, the
engine and transmission
control logic are changed
to maximize fuel efficiency.
• When the ECO mode is selected
by pressing the DRIVE MODE but-
ton, the ECO indicator (green
color) will illuminate.

When the ECO mode is activated:
• The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
• The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
• The shift pattern of the automatic
transmission may change.
• The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the ECO mode is
activated to improve fuel efficiency.Limitation of the ECO mode oper-
ation:
If the following conditions occur while
the ECO mode is operating, the sys-
tem operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
• When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
• When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
• When driving the vehicle with the
automatic transmission or the dual
clutch transmission gear shift lever
in manual shift mode:
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is
deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.SPORT mode
SPORT mode manages
the driving dynamics by
automatically adjusting the
steering effort, the engine
and transmission control logic for
enhanced driver performance.
• When SPORT mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE button,
the SPORT indicator (orange
color) will illuminate.
• Whenever the engine is restarted,
the Drive Mode will revert back to
NORMAL mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode
from the DRIVE MODE button.
• When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to
remain raised over a certain
length of time even after releas-
ing the accelerator
- Upshifts are delayed when accel-
erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.

Driving your vehicle
The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driv-
er of an approaching vehicle in the
driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
a indicator on the outside side view
mirrors.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range
varies relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travel-
ing much faster than the vehicles
around you, the warning will not
occur.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
The Lane Change Assist feature
will alert you when a vehicle is
approaching in an adjacent lane
at a high rate of speed. If the driv-
er activates the turn signal when
the system detects an oncoming
vehicle, the system sounds an
audible alert.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert fea-
ture monitors approaching cross
traffic from the left and right side
of the vehicle when your vehicle is
in reverse. The feature will operate
when the vehicle is moving in
reverse below about 10 km/h (6
mph). If oncoming cross traffic is
detected a warning chime will
sound.

Closing at high speed
•Always be aware of road con-
ditions while driving and be
alert for unexpected situations
even though the Blind Spot
Detection System is operat-
ing.
•The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) is a supplemen-
tal system to assist you. Do
not entirely rely on the sys-
tem. Always pay attention,
while driving, for your safety.
•The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) is not a substi-
tute for proper and safe driving.
Always drive safely and use
caution when changing lanes
or backing up the vehicle. The
Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.
