Introduction
No special run-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you
may add to the performance, econo-
my and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Whilst driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly run-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.

Parking Brake & Brake
Fluid Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
• Once you set the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON posi-
tion.
- It illuminates for approximately 3
seconds
- It remains on if the parking brake
is applied.
• When the parking brake is applied.
• When the brake fluid level in the
reservoir is low.
- If the warning light illuminates
with the parking brake released, it
indicates the brake fluid level in
reservoir is low.
If the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is low:
1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check
the brake fluid level immediately
and add fluid as required (For
more details, refer to “Brake Fluid”
in chapter 7). Then check all brake
components for fluid leaks. If any
leak on the brake system is still
found, the warning light remains
on, or the brakes do not operate
properly, do not drive the vehicle.
In this case, we recommend that
you have the vehicle towed to a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer and
inspected.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking systems. This
means you still have braking on two
wheels even if one of the dual sys-
tems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal
travel and greater pedal pressure are
required to stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as
short a distance with only a portion
of the brake system working.
If the brakes fail whilst you are driv-
ing, shift to a lower gear for addition-
al engine braking and stop the vehi-
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Convenient features of your vehicle
This warning light remains on after
blinking for approximately 60 sec-
onds or repeats blinking and turns
off at the intervals of approximately
3 seconds:
• When there is a malfunction with
the TPMS.
In this case, we recommend that
you have the vehicle inspected by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible.
For more details, refer to “Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” in chapter 6.
Autonomous
Emergency Braking
(AEB) Warning light
This indicator light illuminates:
• When there is a malfunction with
the AEB.
In this case, we recommend that you
have the vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Master Warning Light
This indicator light illuminates:
• When there is a malfunction on the
pre-safe seat belt, electronic con-
trol suspension, or advanced smart
cruise control or other systems etc.
To identify the details of the warn-
ing, look at the LCD display.
Safe Stopping
•The TPMS cannot alert you to
severe and sudden tyre dam-
age caused by external factors.
•If you notice any vehicle insta-
bility, immediately take your
foot off the accelerator pedal,
apply the brakes gradually with
light force, and slowly move to
a safe position off the road.

Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, apply the parking brake,
and place the Engine Start/Stop but-
ton in the OFF position. Take the Key
with you when exiting the vehicle.
Good driving practices
• Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
• Never move the shift lever into P
(Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Do not move the shift lever to N
(Neutral) when driving. Doing so
may result in an accident because
of a loss of engine braking and the
transmission could be damaged.
• Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light, but
consistent pedal pressure can
result in the brakes overheating,
brake wear and possibly even brake
failure.
• Depressing both accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time can
trigger logic for engine power reduc-
tion to assure vehicle deceleration.
Vehicle acceleration will resume
after the brake pedal is released.• When driving in Sports Mode, slow
down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear
may not be engaged if the engine
rpms are outside of the allowable
range.
• Always apply the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transmis-
sion in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
• Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator. When you stay in the vehicle
with the engine running, be
careful not to depress the accel-
erator pedal for a long period of
time. The engine or exhaust
system may overheat and start
a fire.
The exhaust gas and the
exhaust system are very hot.
Keep away from the exhaust
system components.
Do not stop or park over flam-
mable materials, such as dry
grass, paper or leaves. They
may ignite and cause a fire.

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the engine is not running or is
turned off whilst driving, the power
assist for the brakes will not work.
You can still stop your vehicle by
applying greater force to the brake
pedal than typical. The stopping dis-
tance, however, will be longer than
with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially
depleted each time the brake pedal
is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has
been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.
BRAKING SYSTEM
Take the following precautions:
•Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-
sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
•When descending a long or
steep hill, shift to a lower gear
and avoid continuous applica-
tion of the brakes. Applying
the brakes continuously will
cause the brakes to overheat
and could result in a tempo-
rary loss of braking perform-
ance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle’s ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes whilst maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.
WARNING

Driving your vehicle
Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high pitched warning sound from
your front or rear brakes. You may
hear this sound come and go or it
may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Please remember some driving con-
ditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when you first apply (or
lightly apply) the brakes. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a problem
with your brakes.
✽NOTICE
Always replace brake pads as com-
plete front or rear axle sets.
Foot parking brake
(if equipped)
Always set the parking brake before
leaving the vehicle, to apply:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
Depress the parking brake pedal
down as far as possible.To release:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
Depress the parking brake pedal
down and it will release automatical-
ly.
If the parking brake does not release
or does not release all the way, we
recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer. To avoid costly brake repairs,
do not continue to drive with
worn brake pads.CAUTION
ODH054142R
ODH054143R
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, do not oper-
ate the parking brake whilst the
vehicle is moving except in an
emergency situation. It could
damage the brake system and
lead to an accident.
WARNING

5-36
Driving your vehicle
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your brake
pressure and do not try to pump your
brakes. Depress your brake pedal as
hard as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear sounds from the brakes,
or feel a corresponding sensation in
the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ABS is active.
ABS does not reduce the time or dis-
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that results
from sudden changes in direction,
such as trying to take a corner too fast
or making a sudden lane change.
Always drive at a safe speed for the
road and weather conditions.
ABS cannot prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when brak-
ing hard. Severe or sharp steering
wheel movement can still cause your
vehicle to veer into oncoming traffic or
off the road.On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light ( ) will stay
on for several seconds after the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position. During that time, the ABS will
go through self-diagnosis and the light
will go off if everything is normal. If the
light stays on, you may have a prob-
lem with your ABS. We recommend
that you contact a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer as soon as possible.
✽NOTICE
When you jump start your vehicle
because of a drained battery, the
ABS warning light ( ) may turn
on at the same time. This happens
because of the low battery voltage. It
does not mean your ABS is malfunc-
tioning. Have the battery recharged
before driving the vehicle.
If the ABS warning light ( ) is
on and stays on, you may have
a problem with the ABS. Your
power brakes will work normal-
ly. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, we recommend
that you contact your HYUNDAI
authorised repairer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
When you drive on a road having
poor traction, such as an icy
road, and apply your brakes con-
tinuously, the ABS will be active
continuously and the ABS warn-
ing light ( ) may illuminate.
Pull your car over to a safe place
and turn the engine off.
Restart the engine. If the ABS
warning light is off, then your
ABS system is normal.
Otherwise, you may have a prob-
lem with your ABS system. We
recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible.

Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system helps to stabilise the
vehicle during cornering manoeu-
vres. ESC checks where you are
steering and where the vehicle is
actually going. ESC applies braking
pressure to any one of the vehicle’s
brakes and intervenes in the engine
management system to assist the
driver with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Always
adjust your speed and driving to the
road conditions.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON position, the ESC and
the ESC OFF indicator lights illumi-
nate for approximately three seconds
and goes off, then the ESC is turned
on.
When the ESC is off whilst driving, to
turn the ESC on, select ESC ON
from the User Settings Mode (Driving
Assist) on the LCD display (For more
details, refer to "LCD Display" in
chapter 3.). If this light stays on, your
vehicle may have a malfunction with
the ESC system. We recommend
that the vehicle be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible. The ESC indicator
light will illuminate. Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. The ESC system will
not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
manoeuvres, and hydroplaning
on wet surfaces can result in
severe accidents.
