Opening the hood
1. Pull the release lever to unlatch the
hood. The hood should pop open
slightly.
CAUTION
• To prevent possible damage to
the power window system, do not
open or close two windows or
more at the same time. This will
also ensure the longevity of the
fuse.
• Never try to operate the main
switch on the driver's door and
the individual door window
switch in opposing directions at
the same time. If this is done, the
window will stop and cannot be
opened or closed.WARNING - Windows
• NEVER leave the ignition key in
the vehicle.
• NEVER leave any child unattend-
ed in the vehicle. Even very
young children may inadvertently
cause the vehicle to move, entan-
gle themselves in the windows,
or otherwise injure themselves or
others.
• Always double check to make
sure all arms, hands, head and
other obstructions are safely out
of the way before closing a win-
dow.
• Do not allow children to play with
the power windows. Keep the dri-
ver’s door power window lock
switch in the LOCK position
(depressed). Serious injury can
result from unintentional window
operation by the child.
• Do not extend a face or arms out-
side through the window opening
while driving.

Driving your vehicle
- the hood is open with transmission
in D (Drive).
- the trunk lid is open with transmis-
sion in R (Reverse).
- the driver's seat belt is unbuckled
and the driver's door is open.
- AUTO HOLD is operating for a long
period of time.
- the vehicle is standing on a steep
slope.
In these cases, the brake warning light
comes on, the AUTO HOLD indicator
changes from green to white, and a
warning sounds and a message will
appear to inform you that EPB has
been automatically engaged.
Before driving off again, press foot
brake pedal, check the surrounding
area near your vehicle and release
parking brake manually with the EPB
switch.
• When AUTO HOLD is ON and the
vehicle comes to a stop on a steep
slope (about 25% gradient or more),
the EPB will be automatically
engaged. In this case, when you
release EPB manually by pressing the
EPB switch with foot brake pedal
pressed, AUTO HOLD will hold the
vehicle for 3 seconds in order to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling back
during the launch.• If the AUTO HOLD malfunction indi-
cator lights up yellow on the LCD
screen, the AUTO HOLD is not work-
ing properly. Take your vehicle to an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.
• While operating Auto Hold, you may
hear mechanical noise. However, it is
normal operating noise.E070300AEN-EE
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
WARNING
ABS (or ESP) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or danger-
ous driving maneuvers. Even
though vehicle control is improved
during emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance between
you and objects ahead. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced
during extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system (or Electronic Stability
Program system) may be longer
than for those without it in the fol-
lowing road conditions.
During these conditions the vehicle
should be driven at reduced
speeds:
• Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• With tire chains installed.
(Continued)
WARNING
• Press the accelerator pedal slow-
ly when you start the vehicle.
• For your safety, cancel the AUTO
HOLD when you drive downhill or
back up the vehicle or park the
vehicle.
CAUTION
If there is a malfunction with the dri-
ver’s door, hood or trunk open
detection system, the AUTO HOLD
may not work properly.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.
