NOTICE
• The AUTO HOLD does not operate
when;
- the driver’s door is open.
- the shift lever is in P (Park).• For your safety, the AUTO HOLD
automatically switches to EPB in such
cases as
- 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
warning sounds and a message will
appear to inform you that EPB has
been automatically engaged.
Before driving again, press the foot
brake pedal, check the surrounding
area near your vehicle and release the
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 the 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
heard mechanical noise. However, it is
normal operating noise.

Good braking practices
After parking the vehicle, check to be
sure the parking brake is not engaged
and that the parking brake indicator
light is out before driving away.
Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the car is washed. Wet brakes
can be dangerous! Your car will not
stop as quickly if the brakes are wet.
Wet brakes may cause the car to pull
to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal, taking care to keep the car
under control at all times. If the braking
action does not return to normal, stop
as soon as it is safe to do so and call
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
assistance.
Do not coast down hills with the car out
of gear. This is extremely hazardous.
Keep the car in gear at all times, use
the brakes to slow down, then shift to a
lower gear so that engine braking will
help you maintain a safe speed. Do not "ride" the brake pedal. Resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driv-
ing can be dangerous because it can
result in the brakes overheating and
losing their effectiveness. It also
increases the wear of the brake com-
ponents.
If a tire goes flat while you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
car pointed straight ahead while you
slow down. When you are moving
slowly enough for it to be safe to do so,
pull off the road and stop in a safe
place.
If your car is equipped with an auto-
matic transmission, do not let your car
creep forward. To avoid creeping for-
ward, keep your foot firmly on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
WARNING
Whenever leaving vehicle or
parking, always set the parking
brake as far as possible and fully
engage the vehicle's transmis-
sion into the park position.
Vehicles not fully engaged in park
with the parking brake set are at
risk for moving inadvertently and
injuring yourself or others.
All vehicles should always have
the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadver-
tent movement of the car which
can injure occupants or pedestri-
ans.

Driving your vehicle
Be careful when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake and
place the gear selector lever in P. If
your car is facing downhill, turn the
front wheels into the curb to help keep
the car from rolling. If your car is facing
uphill, turn the front wheels away from
the curb to help keep the car from
rolling. If there is no curb or if it is
required by other conditions to keep
the car from rolling, block the wheels.
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi-
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only
temporarily while you put the gear
selector lever in P (automatic transmis-
sion) and block the rear wheels so the
car cannot roll. Then release the park-
ing brake.
Do not hold the vehicle on an incline
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transmission to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or parking
brake.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions:
Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-
tance for braking.
Avoid sudden movements in braking or
steering. If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or
other non-slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when stalled
in ice, snow, or mud.
Leave ESC system on for best traction
when attempting to get vehicle
unstuck.
E110200ABH-EU
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to free
it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn the
steering wheel right and left to clear the
area around your front wheels. Then, shift
back and forth between R (Reverse) and
any forward gear in vehicles equipped
with an automatic transmission. Do not
race the engine, and spin the wheels as
little as possible. If you are still stuck after
a few tries, have the vehicle pulled out by
a tow vehicle to avoid engine overheating
and possible damage to the transmission.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
OBH058034
WARNING - ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
WARNING - Downshifting
Downshifting with an automatic
transmission, while driving on slip-
pery surfaces can cause an acci-
dent. The sudden change in tire
speed could cause the tires to skid.
Be careful when downshifting on
slippery surfaces.
CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause
engine over-heating, transmission
damage or failure, and tire damage.

What to do in an emergency
F080301ABH
Emergency towing precautions
Place the transmission shift lever in N
(Neutral).
Release the parking brake.
Press the brake pedal with more force
than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.
More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
If you are driving down a long hill, the
brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.
CAUTION - Automatic
transmission
If the car is being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it can
be towed only from the front. Be
sure that the transmission is in
neutral. Be sure the steering is
unlocked by placing the ignition
switch in the ACC position. A
driver must be in the towed vehi-
cle to operate the steering and
brakes.
To avoid serious damage to the
automatic transmission, limit the
vehicle speed to 10 mph (15 km/h)
and drive less than 1 mile (1.5
km) when towing.
Before towing, check the auto-
matic transmission for fluid leaks
under your vehicle. If the auto-
matic transmission fluid is leak-
ing, flatbed equipment or a tow-
ing dolly must be used.
