Hill-start assist control (HAC)
(if equipped)
A vehicle has the tendency to slip
back on a steep hill when it starts to
go after stopping. The Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC) prevents the
vehicle from slipping back by operat-
ing the brakes automatically for
about 2 seconds. The brakes are
released when the accelerator pedal
is depressed or after about 2 sec-
onds.
✽NOTICE
• The HAC does not operate when
the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
• The HAC activates even though
the ESC is off but it does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned.
Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)
(if equipped)
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking
the stop light when the vehicle is
braked rapidly and severely.
The system is activated when:
• The vehicle suddenly stops (vehi-
cle speed is over 55km/h and the
vehicle deceleration at greater
than 7 m/s
2)
• The ABS is activating
When the vehicle speed is under 40
km/h and the ABS deactivates or the
sudden stop situation is over, the
stop light blinking will stop. Instead,
the hazard warning flasher will turn
on automatically.
The hazard warning flasher will turn
off when vehicle speed is over
10km/h after the vehicle has
stopped. Also, it will turn off when the
vehicle is driven at low speed for
some time. You can turn it off manu-
ally by pushing the hazard warning
flasher switch.
WARNING
The HAC is activated only for
about 2 seconds, so when the
vehicle is starting off always
depress the accelerator pedal.

Malfunction indicator
• The VSM OFF indicator will illumi-
nate when the engine start/stop
button is turned ON, but should go
off after approximately 3 seconds.
If the indicator does not come on,
or continuously remains on after
coming on for about 3 seconds
when you turn the engine
start/stop button to the ON posi-
tion, or if the indicator comes on
while driving, the AVSM is not
working properly. We recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• The VSM OFF indicator may illumi-
nate when the ESC indicator or
SCC indicator comes on, but it
does not indicate malfunction of
the AVSM.
WARNING
The AVSM is not a substitute for
safe driving practices but a sup-
plementary function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead.
WARNING
• Even if there is a malfunction
to the brake operating of the
AVSM, when you depress the
brake pedal, the brake is oper-
ating normally. But, the AVSM
brake operating does not
operate even in certain haz-
ardous situations.
• The AVSM is designed to
function above approximately
15 km/h (9.3 mph) and below
approximately 180 km/h (111.8
mph).
• The AVSM does not react to
- Persons or animals.
- Oncoming vehicles in the
opposite lane or the vehicle
in the intersection.
- Stopped objects.
• The AVSM can not detect the
objects certainly, when:
- The sensors are stained with
dirt or covered.
(Continued)
(Continued)
- There is heavy rain or heavy
snow.
- There is interference by elec-
tromagnetic waves.
- There are strong radar
reflections.
- Driving in curve.
- Driving uphill or downhill.
- Driving in areas under con-
struction.
- The object ahead is very nar-
row such as motorcycles or
bicycles.
- The vehicle cuts in suddenly.
• The AVSM brake operating
does not operates, if the driv-
er does not release the accel-
erator pedal or does not oper-
ate the brake pedal.

Driving your vehicle
• Remember, your vehicle 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.
• Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting in the engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a
lower gear. Over-revving is racing
the engine beyond its safe limit.
This can be avoided by shifting at
the recommended speeds.
• Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is
operated by engine power so your
fuel economy is reduced when you
use it.
• Open windows at high speeds can
reduce fuel economy.
• Fuel economy is less in crosswinds
and headwinds. To help offset
some of this loss, slow down when
driving in these conditions.Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for econ-
omy and safety. Therefore, we rec-
ommend that the system be serviced
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING - Engine off
during
motion
Never turn the engine off to
coast down hills or anytime the
vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will
not function properly without
the engine running. Instead,
keep the engine on and down-
shift to an appropriate gear for
engine braking effect. In addi-
tion, turning off the ignition
while driving could engage the
steering wheel lock resulting in
loss of vehicle steering which
could cause serious injury or
death.
