WARNING- Ignition switch
• Never turn the ignition switch to
LOCK or ACC whilst the vehicle
is moving. This would result in
loss of directional control and
braking function, which could
cause an accident.
• The anti-theft steering column
lock is not a substitute for the
parking brake. Before leaving the
driver’s seat, always make sure
the shift lever is engaged in P
(Park) for the automatic transmis-
sion and set the parking brake
fully and shut the engine off.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement may occur if these
precautions are not taken.
• Never reach for the ignition
switch, or any other controls
through the steering wheel whilst
the vehicle is in motion. The pres-
ence of your hand or arm in this
area could cause a loss of vehicle
control, an accident and serious
bodily injury or death.

• Do not place any movable objects
around the driver’s seat as they
may move whilst driving, inter-
fere with the driver and lead to an
accident.

Good driving practices
• Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the car in
gear.
• Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction.
Instead, when you are driving down a
long hill, shift to a lower gear. When
you do this, engine braking will help
slow the car.
• Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
• Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better con-
trol of your car.
• Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into reverse.
The transmission can be damaged if
you do not. To shift into reverse,
depress the clutch, move the shift lever
to neutral, wait 3 seconds, then shift to
the reverse position.
• 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 the vehicle to go out of control.WARNING
• Always buckle-up! In a collision,
an unbelted occupant is signifi-
cantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properly
belted occupant.
• Avoid high speeds when corner-
ing 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.
• Never exceed posted speed lim-
its.

Good driving practices
• Never move the gear shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other posi-
tion with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
• Never move the gear shift lever into P
(Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
• Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into R
(Reverse).
• Never take the car out of gear and
coast down a hill. This may be
extremely hazardous. Always leave the
car in gear when moving.
• Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and malfunc-
tion. Instead, when you are driving
down a long hill, shift to a lower gear.
When you do this, engine braking will
help slow the car.
• Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.
• Always use the parking brake. Do not
depend on placing the transmission in
P (Park) to keep the car 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 the vehicle to go out of control.
• Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the accelera-
tor pedal.

WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you
may attempt to rock the vehicle free
by moving it forward and backward.
Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are anywhere
near the vehicle. During the rocking
operation the vehicle may suddenly
move forward of backward as it
becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or
objects.

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
In the event that the power-assisted
brakes lose power because of a stalled
engine or some other reason, you can
still stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than you nor-
mally would. The stopping distance, how-
ever, will be longer.
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 neces-
sary to maintain steering control on slip-
pery surfaces.
BRAKE SYSTEM
WARNING - Brakes
• Do not drive with your foot rest-
ing on the brake pedal. This will
create abnormal high brake tem-
peratures, excessive brake lining
and pad wear, and increased
stopping distances.
• When descending a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear and
avoid continuous application of
the brakes. Continuous brake
application will cause the brakes
to overheat and could result in a
temporary loss of braking per-
formance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehi-
cle’s ability to sefely 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, apply them lightly
whilst maintaining a safe forward
speed until brake performance
returns to normal.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Always, confirm the position of
the brake and accelerator pedal
before driving. If you do not
check the position of the acceler-
ator and brake pedal before driv-
ing, you may depress the acceler-
ator instead of the brake pedal. It
may cause a serious accident.

ESP (ESC) checks where you are
steering and where the vehicle is actually
going.
ESP (ESC) applies the brakes at
individual wheels and intervenes in the
engine management system to stabilize
the vehicle.The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system
is an electronic system designed to help
the driver maintain vehicle control under
adverse conditions. It is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Factors
including speed, road conditions and
driver steering input can all affect
whether ESP (ESC) will be effective in
preventing a loss of control. It is still your
responsibility to drive and corner at
reasonable speeds and to leave a
sufficient margin of safety.
When you apply your brakes under con-
ditions which may lock the wheels, you
may hear a “tik-tik’’ sound from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation
in the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ESP (ESC) is active.
✽NOTICE
A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the vehicle
begins to move after the engine is start-
ed. These conditions are normal and
indicate that the Electronic Stability
Program (Electronic stability control)
System is functioning properly.
ESP (ESC) operation
ESP (ESC) ON condition
• When the ignition is turned
ON, ESP (ESC) and ESP
(ESC) OFF indicator lights
illuminate for approximately 3
seconds, then ESP (ESC) is
turned on.
• Press the ESP (ESC) OFF
button for at least half a sec-
ond after turning the ignition
ON to turn ESP (ESC) off.
(ESP (ESC) OFF indicator
will illuminate). To turn the
ESP (ESC) on, press the
ESP (ESC) OFF button (ESP
(ESC) OFF indicator light will
go off).
• When starting the engine,
you may hear a slight ticking
sound. This is the ESP (ESC)
performing an automatic sys-
tem self-check and does not
indicate a problem.
WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when cor-
nering. Electronic stability pro-
gram (ESP) / Electronic stability
control (ESC) will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in turns,
abrupt manoeuvres and hydroplan-
ing on wet surfaces can still result
in serious accidents. Only a safe
and attentive driver can prevent
accidents by avoiding manoeuvres
that cause the vehicle to lose trac-
tion. Even with ESP (ESC)
installed, always follow all the nor-
mal precautions for driving - includ-
ing driving at safe speeds for the
conditions.

✽NOTICE
After reconnecting or recharging a dis-
charged battery, the ESP (ESC) indica-
tor may illuminate. In this case, turn the
steering wheel half way to the left and
right whilst the ignition switch is in the
ON position. Then, restart the engine
after the ignition is off. If the ESP (ESC)
indicator does not turn off, we recom-
mend that the system be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
ESP (ESC) OFF usage
When driving
• The ESP (ESC) turned on for daily
driving whenever possible.
• To turn ESP (ESC) off whilst driving,
press the ESP (ESC) OFF button
whilst driving on a flat road surface.
Never press the ESP (ESC) OFF button
whilst ESP (ESC) is operating (ESP
(ESC) indicator light blinks).
If ESP (ESC) is turned off whilst ESP
(ESC) is operating, the vehicle may slip
out of control.
✽NOTICE
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the ESP
(ESC) is turned off (ESP (ESC) OFF
light illuminated). If the ESP (ESC) is
left on, it may prevent the vehicle
speed from increasing, and result in
false diagnosis.
• Turning the ESP (ESC) off does not
affect ABS or brake system operation.
CAUTION
Driving with varying tyre or wheel
sizes may cause the ESP (ESC) sys-
tem to malfunction. When replacing
tyres, make sure they are the same
size as your original tyres.
WARNING
The Electronic Stability Program
(Electronic stability control) system
is only a driving aid; use precau-
tions for safe driving by slowing
down on curved, snowy, or icy
roads. Drive slowly and don’t
attempt to accelerate whenever the
ESP (ESC) indicator light is blink-
ing, or when the road surface is
slippery.

To decrease the cruising speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
• Press the button (SET-) and hold it.
Your vehicle will gradually slow down.
Release the button at the speed you
want to maintain.
• Press the button (SET-) and release it
immediately. The cruising speed will
decrease by 2.0 km/h or 1 mph each
time you press the button (SET-) in this
manner.
To temporarily accelerate with the
cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily when
the cruise control is on, depress the
accelerator pedal. Increased speed will
not interfere with cruise control operation
or change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your foot
off the accelerator pedal.
To cancel cruise control, do one
of the following:
• Depress the brake pedal.
• Depress the clutch pedal with a manu-
al transmission.
• Shift into N (Neutral) with an automatic

Wagon/Van (if equipped)
A locking differential, if equipped, is for
the rear wheel differential only. The fea-
tures of this locking differential are
described below:
Just as with a conventional differential,
the wheel on one side is allowed to turn
at a different speed from the wheel on
the other side when the vehicle is cor-
nering. The difference between the lock-
ing differential and a conventional differ-
ential is that if the wheel on one side of
the vehicle loses traction, a greater
amount of torque is applied to the rear
wheel on the other side to improve trac-
tion.
✽NOTICE
In a stationary position, the LD
(Locking Differential) will operate when
the difference of the revolution speed
between the rear right wheel and the
rear left wheel occurs.
The following procedures can be used to
confirm that the locking differential is
functioning properly:
(1) Position the vehicle so that one wheel
is on a dry paved surface and the
other on ice, snow, mud, etc. Drive
the vehicle, and observe the opera-
tion of the locking differential. The
vehicle should not become stuck if
the differential is functioning properly.
(2) Depress the accelerator pedal gradu-
ally, and then when traction is good,
depress it forcefully. If the vehicle
accelerates well, the differential is
functioning properly.
✽NOTICE
Usually a locking differential will oper-
ate and release automatically but occa-
sionally it may not release automatically.
At this time you will feel the tyre is
dragged when you are driving or corner-
ing. You can release it manually by slight-
ly turning the steering wheel right and
left whilst the vehicle is moving slowly.
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
• Never start the engine with the
gearshift lever placed in the for-
ward or reverse whilst one of the
rear wheels is jacked up and the
other in contact with the ground;
doing so may cause the vehicle to
jump forward.
• If one of the rear wheels begins to
spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehicle
can sometimes be driven out by
depressing the accelerator pedal
further; however, avoid running
the engine continuously at high
rpm because doing so could dam-
age the locking differential.

Driving your vehicle
• Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is operat-
ed by engine power so your fuel econ-
omy is reduced when you use it.
• Open windows at high speeds can
reduce fuel economy.
• Fuel economy is less in crosswinds
and headwinds. To help offset some of
this loss, slow down when driving in
these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating con-
dition is important both for economy and
safety. Therefore, we recommend that the
system be serviced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
WARNING - Engine off dur-
ing motion
Never turn the engine off to coast
down hills or anytime the vehicle is
in motion. The power steering and
power brakes will not function
properly without the engine run-
ning. Instead, keep the engine on
and downshift to an appropriate
gear for engine braking effect. In
addition, turning off the ignition
whilst driving could engage the
steering wheel lock resulting in
loss of vehicle steering which
could cause serious injury or
death.
