Before Driving
Before Entering the Vehicle
• Make sure all windows, outer side mirror(s), and outside lights are clean 
and unobstructed.
• Remove frost, snow, or ice from both  the front and rear windshield as well as 
the front side windows.
• Visually check the tires for uneven wear  and damage.
• Check under the vehicle for any sign of  leaks.
• Make sure there are no obstacles  behind you if you intend to back up.
Before Starting
• Make sure the hood, the trunk, and the doors are securely closed and locked.
• Adjust the position of the seat and  steering wheel.
• Adjust the inside rearview mirror and  outer side view mirrors.
• Verify all the lights work.
• Fasten your seat belt. Check that all  passengers have fastened their seat 
belts.
• Check the gauges and indicators in the  instrument panel and the messages on 
the cluster display when the vehicle is 
in the ON position.
• Check that any items you are carrying  are stored properly or fastened down 
securely.
WARNING To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH, take the following precautions:
• ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All passengers must be properly belted 
whenever the vehicle is moving. For 
more information, refer to the “Seat 
Belts” section in chapter 3. • Always drive defensively. Assume other 
drivers or pedestrians may be careless 
and make mistakes.
• Stay focused on the task of driving.  Driver distraction can cause accidents.
• Leave plenty of space between you and  the vehicle in front of you.
 
WARNING NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driving is 
dangerous and may result in an accident 
and SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one 
contributor to the highway death toll each 
year. Even a small amount of alcohol will 
affect your reflexes, perceptions and 
judgment. Just one drink can reduce your 
ability to respond to changing conditions 
and emergencies. Your reaction time gets 
worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence of drugs 
is as dangerous or more dangerous than 
driving under the influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a 
serious accident if you drink or take drugs 
and drive. If you are drinking or taking 
drugs, don’t drive. Do not ride with a 
driver who has been drinking or taking 
drugs. Choose a designated driver or call 
a taxi.

Shift By Wire Operation
Depress the brake pedal whenever 
rotating the rotary shifter to change gear 
or selecting P.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or 
death:
• ALWAYS check the surrounding areas  near your vehicle for people, especially 
children, before shifting a vehicle into D 
(Drive) or R (Reverse).
• Before leaving the driver's seat, always  make sure the vehicle is shifted to the P 
(Park) position, then apply the parking 
brake, then press the Start/Stop button 
to the OFF position. Unexpected and 
sudden vehicle movement can occur if 
these precautions are not followed.

• Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on 
placing the shift gear 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 pedal.
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 Vehicle recommends you to  follow all posted speed limits.
 
Regenerative Braking 
System (Paddle Shifter)
Regenerative braking system operates 
the paddle shifter to control the 
regenerative braking intensity of the 
vehicle. It improves the fuel efficiency of 
the vehicle and helps the driver to have a 
better driving experience.
Information The regenerative braking system uses the 
electric motor to engage the brake. The 
electric motor converts the kinetic energy 
generated from decelerating the vehicle to 
electricity and charges the high voltage 
battery.
 
Using Regenerative Braking 
System
Operating paddle shifter
Operate the paddle shifter as shown 
below to use the regenerative braking 
system.
B6001901
• Pull the left paddle shifter ( ) once to  raise the regenerative braking intensity 
level by 1. It will increase decelerating 
intensity.
• Pull the right paddle shifter ( ) once  to lower the regenerative braking

holding the right paddle shifter ( ) for 
over one second.
If the smart regeneration system does not 
operate normally after the sensor has 
been uncovered or unblocked, have the 
vehicle inspected by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
Smart Regeneration System 
Precautions
• Always monitor the distance to vehicles ahead on the road. The smart 
regeneration system is not a substitute 
for safe driving practices, but a 
supplemental function only.
• Always maintain a safe distance from  the vehicles ahead and adjust your 
vehicle speed to the road conditions. 
The smart regeneration system may not 
recognize unexpected and sudden 
situations or complex driving 
situations.
General precautions
• Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead and adjust your 
vehicle speed depending on the road 
conditions.
• Always prepare for unexpected  situations and depress the brake pedal 
to decelerate when necessary. The 
smart regeneration system cannot 
react to pedestrians, vehicles making a 
sudden stop and vehicles coming from 
the opposite lane.
• If the vehicle ahead frequently changes  the lane, keep your eyes forward to be 
prepared for hazardous situations. In 
this case, the smart regeneration 
system may respond late and may 
inappropriately respond to vehicle 
movements from the side lanes.
• The driver must depress the brake  pedal when stopping the vehicle.
• Depress the brake pedal to decelerate  in the following conditions when: - The front part of the vehicle is lifted 
up because of the cargo loaded on 
the rear part of the vehicle.
- You are operating the steering wheel.
- You are not driving in the center of  the lane.
- You are driving on a narrow or curved  road.
• The smart regeneration system may be  temporarily turn off when exposed to 
strong electromagnetic waves.
• If the vehicle starts coasting near the  speed camera and engages the brake 
with the smart regeneration system, 
the vehicle may not be able to keep the 
speed limit. Always comply with the 
road and traffic law.
Sensor precautions
• Never disassemble the radar or radar assembly, and never apply any impact 
on it.
• If there is impact on or near the radar,  the sensors may be damaged or not be 
properly aligned near the radar, even 
though a warning message does not 
appear on the instrument cluster, the 
Smart Regeneration System may not 
operate properly. Have the vehicle 
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
• If the radars have been replaced or  repaired, have the vehicle inspected by 
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Use only genuine parts to repair the  bumper where the radar is located.
• Do not install a license plate frame or  other objects such as bumper sticker, 
film, bumper guard, or bumper wrap 
near the radar.
• The Smart Regeneration System may  not work properly if the bumper has 
been replaced, or the surroundings of 
the radar has been damaged or 
painted.

• Do not spray the sensors or the surrounding area directly with high 
pressure water.
Detecting vehicle
• The front sensors may not detect the  vehicle ahead or may suddenly detect 
the vehicle ahead, such as when the 
smart regeneration system responds 
slowly, when driving on a hill ends, or 
when driving through a curve. The 
regenerative braking intensity may 
increase and decelerate your vehicle.
• Some vehicles in your lane may not be  detected by the sensors:
B6003201
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden  decelerating vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such  as trailers with no loads
• When a vehicle in front of you merges  out of the lane, the front sensors may 
not detect the new stopped vehicle that 
is now in front of your vehicle. Driving on curves
• The front sensors may not detect the 
vehicle ahead if you are coasting on a 
curve. The regenerative braking 
intensity may automatically decrease 
and accelerate the vehicle.
B6003202
• On curves, if a vehicle is detected in an adjacent lane, the regenerative braking 
intensity may increase and decelerate 
your vehicle.
B6003203
• If the front sensors suddenly detect the vehicle ahead, the regenerative braking 
intensity may increase and decelerate 
your vehicle.
