Driving your vehicle
To prevent damage to the trans- mission:
Do not allow wheel(s) of oneaxle to spin excessively while
the ESC, ABS, and parking brake
warning lights are displayed.
The repairs would not be cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do
not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are dis-
played.
When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, make sure theESC is turned off (ESC OFF lightilluminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.
Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system. It
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tires can suddenly become uneven.
VSM operation
VSM ON condition
The VSM operates when:
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is on.
Vehicle speed is approximately above 15 km/h (9 mph) on curve
roads.
Vehicle speed is approximately above 20 km/h (12 mph) when the
vehicle is braking on rough roads.
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may activate the
ESC, you may hear sounds from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sen-
sation in the brake pedal. This is nor-
mal and it means your VSM is active.
i
NOTICE
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The VSM is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-tices.
Never drive too fast for the
road conditions. The VSM sys-
tem will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severeaccidents.

Limitations of the System
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system is designed to
monitor the vehicle ahead or a
pedestrian on the roadway through
radar signals and camera recogni-
tion to warn the driver that a collision
is imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The radar sensor or camera isblocked with a foreign object or
debris
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
The driver's field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)
The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights properly turned ON
(Continued)The FCA system does not
detect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
The FCA system cannot
detect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a deadend street.)
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress thebrake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.

Information
The ESC system must be turned OFF
before rocking the vehicle.
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tire damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
Smooth Cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at Night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more dis- tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult tosee at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra follow-ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control.
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of streaking or missing areas on thewindshield.
Tires should be properly maintained with at least 1.6 mm (2/32 inch) of
tread depth. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See "Tire Replacement" in chap-ter 7 .
Turn on your headlamps to make it easier for others to see you.

The hazard warning flasher serves
as a warning to other drivers to exer-
cise extreme caution when approach-
ing, overtaking, or passing your vehi-
cle.
It should be used whenever emer- gency repairs are being made or
when the vehicle is stopped near the
edge of a roadway. To turn the hazard warning flasher
on or off, press the hazard warning
flasher button. The button is located
in the center fascia panel. Both the
left and right turn signal lights will
flash simultaneously.
• The hazard warning flasher oper-
ates whether your vehicle is run- ning or not.
The turn signals do not work when the hazard flasher is on.
If the Engine Stalls While Driving
Reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
Turn on your hazard warning flash- er.
Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer or
seek other qualified assistance.
If the Engine Stalls at a
Crossroad or Crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroads or
crossing, if safe to do so, move the
shift lever to the N (Neutral) position
and then push the vehicle to a safelocation.

Maintenance
Owner Maintenance Schedule
When you stop for fuel:
Check the engine oil level.
Check the coolant level in theengine coolant reservoir.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Check the tire for low or under- inflated tires.
While operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound ofthe exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice if there is any
increased steering effort or loose-
ness in the steering wheel, or
change in its straight-ahead posi-tion.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or "pulls" to one side
when traveling on smooth, levelroad.
When stopping, listen and check for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or "hard-to-push" brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
Check the automatic transmission/ dual clutch transmission P (Park)function. Check the parking brake.
Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the enginecoolant reservoir.
Check the operation of all exterior lights, including the brake lights,
turn signals and hazard warning
flashers.
Check the inflation pressures of all tires including the spare for tires
that are worn, show uneven wear,or are damaged.
Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the
engine is hot. This may result in
coolant being blown out of theopening and cause serious
burns and other injuries.

A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from electrical overload dam-
age by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels,
one located in the driver's side panel
bolster, the other in the engine com-
partment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle's lights, acces-
sories, or controls do not work, check
the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse
has blown, the element inside the
fuse will be melted or broken.
If the electrical system does not
work, first check the driver's side
fuse panel. Before replacing a blown
fuse, turn the engine and all switches
off, and then disconnect the negative
battery cable. Always replace a
blown fuse with one of the same rat-ing.
If the replacement fuse blows, this
indicates an electrical problem. Avoid
using the system involved and imme-
diately consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove
fuses because it may cause a
short circuit and damage the sys-tem.
NOTICE
NEVER replace a fuse with any-
thing but another fuse of thesame rating.
A higher capacity fuse could
cause damage and possibly
cause a fire.
Do not install a wire or alu-
minum foil instead of the
proper fuse - even as a tem-
porary repair. It may cause
extensive wiring damage and
possibly a fire.
