ESC OFF usage
When inspecting
The ESC should be off when
inspecting the vehicle.
To turn ESC off while inspecting,
select ESC OFF from the User
Settings Mode (Driving Assist) on
the LCD display. The ESC OFF indi-
cator light will illuminate and warning
chime will sound.
After inspection, turn the ESC on by
selecting ESC ON from the User
Settings Mode (Driving Assist) on
the LCD display.
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be
used briefly to help free the vehicle if
stuck in snow or mud by temporarily
stopping operation of the ESC to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, select
ESC OFF from the User Settings
Mode (Driving Assist) on the LCD
display.
✽NOTICE
Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system oper-
ation.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
(if equipped)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
prevents the vehicle from rolling
backwards when starting a vehicle
from a stop on a hill. The system
operates the brakes automatically for
approximately 2 seconds and releas-
es the brake when the accelerator
pedal is depressed or after 2 sec-
onds. To prevent damage to the trans-
mission:
•Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively while
the ESC, ABS, and 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) exces-
sively while these lights are
displayed.
•When operating the vehicle
on a dynamometer, ensure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF
light illuminated).
CAUTION
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting
off on a incline. The HAC acti-
vates only for approximately 2
seconds.

DRIVE MODE INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM
The drive mode may be selected
according to the driver’s preference
or road condition.
The system initializes to the NOR-
MAL mode after the engine has been
turned off and on.
✽NOTICE
If there is a problem with the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system, the drive mode will be in
NORMAL mode and may not
change to ECO mode, SPORT mode
or SNOW mode.
• The mode changes whenever the
DRIVE MODE button is pressed.
When NORMAL mode is selected,
it is not displayed on the instrument
cluster.
• When the DRIVE MODE button is
pressed for more than one second,
the SNOW mode will operate
regardless of whichever DRIVE
mode (NORMAL/ECO/SPORT) is
operating. If the button is pressed
once more, the DRIVE mode
(NORMAL/ECO/SPORT) that was
operating previously will operate.
• The selected mode is displayed on
the AVN monitor.ECO mode (Active ECO)
Active ECO helps improve
fuel efficiency by control-
ling certain engine and
transmission system oper-
ating parameters.
Fuel efficiency depends on the dri-
ver's driving habit and road condi-
tion.
• When the DRIVE MODE button is
pressed and the ECO mode is
selected, the ECO indicator
(green) will illuminate to show that
the Active ECO is operating.
• When the Active ECO is activated,
and the engine is turned off and on
it will change to NORMAL mode. To
turn on the ECO mode, press the
DRIVE MODE button till it is select-
ed.

Driving your vehicle
When Active ECO 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 Active ECO sys-
tem is activated to improve fuel effi-
ciency.Limitation of Active ECO opera-
tion:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
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 using the automatic trans-
mission Sports mode:
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
SPORT mode
SPORT mode focuses on
dynamic driving by auto-
matically controlling the
steering wheel, engine
and transmission system.
• When the DRIVE MODE button is
pressed and the SPORT mode is
selected, the SPORT indicator
(yellow) will illuminate.
• When the SPORT mode is activat-
ed, and the engine is turned off
and on it will change to NORMAL
mode. To turn on the SPORT
mode, press the DRIVE MODE
button again.
• If the system is activated:
- After accelerating and releasing
the accelerator pedal, the gear and
engine speed RPM may not drop
as soon as in NORMAL mode.
- Up-shifting is delayed.
✽NOTICE
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.

Protecting TPMS
Tampering with, modifying, or
disabling the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
components may interfere with
the system's ability to warn the
driver of low tire pressure con-
ditions and/or TPMS malfunc-
tions. Tampering with, modify-
ing, or disabling the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) components may void
the warranty for that portion of
the vehicle.
WARNING
For EUROPE
•Do not modify the vehicle; it
may interfere with the TPMS
function.
•The wheels on the market do
not have a TPMS sensor.
For your safety, we recom-
mend that you use parts for
replacement from an author-
ized HYUNDAI dealer.
•If you use the wheels on the
market, use a TPMS sensor
approved by a HYUNDAI deal-
er. If your vehicle is not
equipped with a TPMS sensor
or TPMS does not work prop-
erly, you may fail the periodic
vehicle inspection conducted
in your country.

❈All vehicles sold in the
EUROPE market during below

Battery recharging
Your vehicle has a maintenance-free,
calcium-based battery.
• If the battery becomes discharged
in a short time (because, for exam-
ple, the headlights or interior lights
were left on while the vehicle was
not in use), recharge it by slow
charging (trickle) for 10 hours.
• If the battery gradually discharges
because of high electric load while
the vehicle is being used, recharge
it at 20-30A for two hours.
OLMB073072 ■Example
Recharging battery
When recharging the battery,
observe the following precau-
tions:
•The battery must be removed
from the vehicle and placed in
an area with good ventilation.
•Do not allow cigarettes,
sparks, or flame near the bat-
tery.
•Watch the battery during
charging, and stop or reduce
the charging rate if the battery
cells begin gassing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature
of the electrolyte of any cell
exceeds 49°C (120°F).
•Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
