Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must depress
firmly on the brake pedal and make sure
your foot is off the accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above and
still cannot shift the lever out of P
(Park), see “Shift-Lock Release” in this
chapter.
The shift lever must be in P (Park) before
turning the engine off.
WARNING
[ Shifting into P (Park) whilst the
vehicle is in motion may cause you to
lose control of the vehicle.
[ After the vehicle has stopped, always
make sure the shift lever is in P (Park),
apply the parking brake, and turn the
engine off.
[ When parking on an incline, place the
shift lever in P (Park) and apply the
parking brake to prevent the vehicle
from rolling downhill.
[ For safety, always engage the parking
brake with the shift lever in the P
(Park) position except for the case of
emergency parking.

we recommend that the system be
inspected by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer immediately.
Ignition key interlock system
(if equipped)
The ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in the P (Park)
position.
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 ignition switch in the LOCK/
OFF position. Take the Key with you
when exiting the vehicle.

the engine running, be careful not to
depress the accelerator 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 flammable
materials, such as dry grass, paper or
leaves. They may ignite and cause a
fire.

Driving your 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.
[ Driving uphill or downhill, always shift
to D (Drive) when driving forward or to
R (Reverse) when driving backwards,
and check the gear position indicated
on the cluster before driving. If you
drive in the opposite direction of the
selected gear, the engine will turn
off and a serious accident might be
occurred due to the degraded brake
performance.
[ 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.
[ When driving in manual shift 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 transmission 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 fuel economy is obtained by
smoothly depressing and releasing the
accelerator.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:
[ ALWAYS wear your seat belt. In a
collision, an unbelted occupant
is significantly more likely to be
seriously injured or killed than a
properly belted occupant.
[ Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
[ Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
[ The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
[ Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter
the roadway.
[ In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
[ HYUNDAI recommends you follow all
posted speed limits.

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 distance, 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 control
on slippery surfaces.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
[ Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
[ When descending down a long or
steep hill, downshift to a lower
gear in order to control your
speed without using the brake
pedal excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will cause
the brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of braking
performance.
[ 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 fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes whilst maintaining
a safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal.
Avoid driving at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
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.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem with your brakes.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.

Driving your vehicle
Rear drum brakes
Your rear drum brakes do not have wear
indicators. Therefore, have the rear
brake linings inspected if you hear a rear
brake rubbing noise. Also have your rear
brakes inspected each time you change
or rotate your tyres and when you have
the front brakes replaced.
Parking brake
OBC3060005
Always set the parking brake before
leaving the vehicle, to apply:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
Pull up the parking brake lever as far as
possible.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH, do not operate the parking
brake whilst the vehicle is moving
except in an emergency situation. It
could damage the brake system and
lead to an accident.
OBC3060006
To release:
Firmly depress the brake pedal.
Slightly pull up the parking brake lever.
Whilst pressing the release button (1),
lower the parking brake (2).
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.
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a complete
stop and continue to depress the brake
pedal.
Move the shift is in the 1st gear when
the vehicle is parked on a uphill and in
R (Reverse) on an downhill (for manual
transmission vehicle), or P (Park, for
automatic transmission/dual clutch
transmission vehicle) position, then
apply the parking brake, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position.

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
distance 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 braking
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 system
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 ignition
switch 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 problem with your
ABS. We recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
If the ABS warning light () is on and
stays on, you may have a problem with
the ABS. Your power brakes will work
normally. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, we recommend that
you contact your HYUNDAI dealer as
soon as possible.
NOTICE
When you drive on a road having poor
traction, such as an icy road, and apply
your brakes continuously, the ABS will
be active continuously and the ABS
warning light (
) may illuminate. Pull
your vehicle 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 problem
with your ABS system. We recommend
that you contact a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer as soon as possible.

Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
is a function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. It helps ensure the
vehicle stays stable when accelerating
or braking suddenly on wet, slippery and
rough roads where traction over the four
tyres can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using the Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM):
[ $ / : $ < 6 F K H F N W K H V S H H G D Q G W K H

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
(if equipped)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
helps prevent 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 releases the brake after 2
seconds or when the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
WARNING
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting off on
an incline. The HAC activates only for
approximately 2 seconds.

Driving your vehicle
Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)
Multi-Collision Brake controls the brake
automatically in the event of an accident
where the air bag deploys to reduce the
risk of additional accidents that may
occur.
System operation
[ From the time the air bag deploys
Multi-Collision Brake monitors the
depression intensity of the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal for a short
period. The system operates when the
following conditions are met:
- The vehicle speed is under 112 mph
(180 km/h) at the time of collision.
- The brake pedal and accelerator
pedal is hardly depressed.
[ When the driver steps on the brake
pedal over a certain level whilst
Multi-Collision Brake is active, the
braking power takes priority over
automatic braking by Multi-Collision
Brake system. However, if the driver
takes his/her foot off the brake pedal,
automatic braking by Multi-Collision
Brake system will maintain automatic
braking.
System off
Multi-Collision Brake is cancelled in the
following situations:
- The accelerator pedal is depressed
over a certain level.
- The vehicle stops.
- There is malfunction of ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) or system cannot
operate normally.
- Ten seconds have passed since
the brake has been controlled
automatically by Multi-Collision Brake
system.
WARNING
[ Multi-Collision Brake decreases
the vehicle speed after a collision,
but it does not prevent the second
collision. You may drive away from
the collision spot to avoid other
dangerous situations by depressing
the accelerator pedal.
[ After the vehicle is stopped by Multi-
Collision Brake, the system stops
controlling the brakes. Depending
on the situation, the driver should
depress the brake or the accelerator
pedal to prevent further accidents.

Good braking practices
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a complete
stop and continue to depress the brake
pedal. Move the shift lever into the 1st
gear (for Manual transmission vehicle)
or N (Neutral) position (for Automatic
transmission/Dual clutch transmission
vehicle), then apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
Vehicles parked with the parking brake
not applied or not fully engaged may
roll inadvertently and may cause injury
to the driver and others. ALWAYS apply
the parking brake before exiting the
vehicle.Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it is
washed.
Your vehicle will not stop as quickly if
the brakes are wet. Wet brakes may
cause the vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action returns to
normal. If the braking action does not
return to normal, stop as soon as it is
safe to do so and we recommend that
you call a HYUNDAI authorised repairer
for assistance.
DO NOT drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but constant
pedal pressure can result in the brakes
overheating, brake wear, and possibly
even brake failure.
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
vehicle pointed straight ahead whilst 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 location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal
when the vehicle is stopped to prevent
the vehicle from rolling forward.
