Driving your vehicle
✽ NOTICE
• When you drive over 70km/h, you
may not select the HIGH mode.
• Do not operate ECS when the air
filter of the compressor in the
lower part of the vehicle sinks
under the water.
In draft of water into the compres-
sor may happen, and ECS may not
operate normally.
ECS (electronic controlled
suspension) malfunction
warning message
If ECS malfunction warning message
comes on while driving, ECS is not
working properly.
We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
✽ NOTICE
• Make sure there are no objects
under the vehicle before changing
the vehicle height.
• A click sound may be heard while
operating ECS, but these condi-
tions are normal and indicate that
ECS is functioning properly.
• Depending on the outside temper-
ature the vehicle height may be
different.
• When the vehicle is parked with
one side of the vehicle lifted or
vehicle speed is suddenly acceler-
ated/decelerated or the steering
wheel is suddenly turned, the
height may not temporarily be
adjusted. This is to protect the sys-
tem.
• When one side of the vehicle was
lifted with a jack, the height may
not temporarily be adjusted. The
ECS will operate normally when
the engine is turned on again or
when the vehicle is accelerated.
• When the vehicle is not driven for
a long period of time, vehicle
height may get low. The ECS will
operate normally when the engine
is turned on.

tem cannot guarantee the
stop for every emergency sit-
uation.
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes.
• Keep a safe distance accord-
ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close
during a high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
• The smart cruise control sys-
tem cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.

unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
• The smart cruise control sys-
tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices but a con-
venience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed
and the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead.
• Always be aware of the select-
ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance.
• Always maintain sufficient
braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.

Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
Tire traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tires should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. Slow down whenever there
is rain, snow or ice on the road, to
reduce the possibility of losing con-
trol of the vehicle.
Tire maintenance
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease
tire wear. If you find a tire is worn
unevenly, have your dealer check the
wheel alignment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort and
tire life. Additionally, a tire should
always be rebalanced if it is removed
from the wheel.
Tire sidewall labeling
This information identifies and
describes the fundamental charac-
teristics of the tire and also provides
the tire identification number (TIN)
for safety standard certification. The
TIN can be used to identify the tire in
case of a recall.
1. Manufacturer or brand name
Manufacturer or Brand name is
shown.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling
characteristics, ground clear-
ance, body-to-tire clearance,
snow chain clearance,
speedometer and odometer cal-
ibration, headlight aim and
bumper height.

245 - Tire width in millimeters.
50 - Aspect ratio. The tire’s section
height as a percentage of its
width.
R - Tire construction code (Radial).
18 - Rim diameter in inches.100 - Load Index, a numerical code
associated with the maximum
load the tire can carry.
V - Speed Rating Symbol. See the
speed rating chart in this section
for additional information.
Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with impor-
tant information that you need if you
