Information • Turning ESC off does not affect ABS or standard brake system operation.
• Select 0 step of the regenerative braking system and depress the brake pedal around
10 times to efficiently apply brake disc
cleaning.
Brake disc cleaning may decrease the
driving distance by restraining the regenerative braking system. After brake
disc cleaning, the regenerative braking
system may be restored.
If the regenerative braking system is not
restored after the brake disc cleaning, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
Vehicle Stability Management is a
function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. It helps the vehicle
stay stable when accelerating or braking
suddenly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four tires
can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING Take the following precautions when
using Vehicle Stability Management:
• ALWAYS check the speed and the distance to the vehicle ahead. VSM is
not a substitute for safe driving
practices.
• Never drive too fast for the road conditions. VSM will not prevent
accidents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, on slippery and uneven roads
can result in severe accidents.
VSM operation
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may activate ESC, you
may hear sounds from the brakes, or feel
a corresponding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means your
VSM is active.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent the
vehicle from rolling backwards when
starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. The
system operates the brakes automatically
for about 2 seconds (maximum of 5
seconds when the accelerator pedal is
slightly depressed during HAC operation)
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 an
incline. Hill-Start Assist Control activates
only for about 2 seconds (maximum of 5
seconds when the accelerator pedal is
slightly depressed during HAC operation).
Information • Hill-Start Assist Control does not operate when the gear is shifted to P (Park) or N
(Neutral).
• Hill-Start Assist Control activates even when the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is off. However, it does not
activate, when ESC does not operate
normally.
Brake Assistant System (BAS)
The Brake Assistant System provides
additional pressure when the brake pedal
is momentarily and strongly depressed in
a situation sudden braking is required
while driving.
The Brake Assistant System reduces the
time for ABS(Anti-Lock Brake System)
control to enter and consequently
reduces the braking distance, by
providing additional pressure up to the
point of ABS intervention.
Hyundai_CE_en_US.book Page 34
Page 323 of 582

6-35
BAS operation
• When the vehicle speed is more than 18 mph (30 km/h) and the ABS control is
not entered.
• When the brake pedal is depressed strongly over a certain level.
• When the friction of the road surface is above a certain level.
BAS operation off
• The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• The brake pedal is depressed over a certain conditions.
• The friction of the road surface is below a certain level.
WARNING The system may not operate depending
on driver's driving habit, the degree to
which the brake pedal is depressed and
the road surface condition.
Good Braking Practices
WARNING Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking,
always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal. Shift
the gear to the P (Park) position, then
apply the parking brake, and press the
Start/Stop button to the 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.
Be aware of wet brakes. 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 call an authorized HYUNDAI dealer
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 tire goes flat while you are driving,
apply the brakes gently and keep the
vehicle 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 location.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal
when the vehicle is stopped to prevent
the vehicle from rolling forward.

if equipped
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
When All Wheel Drive(AWD) is activated,
driving forces are distributed
appropriately to front and rear wheels. It
could improve driving performance by
maximizing the driving force of vehicles
on severe road conditions such as steep
hills, unpaved, slippery, etc.
Advantage of electronic AWD
1. Improvement of straight stability
2. Improvement of driving performance on curve
3. Secure stability on severe condition such as wet and sandy roads.
4. Improvement of energy efficiency from driving mode automatic control.
Information AWD vehicles could change the engagement
status of the motor according to the situation
required. Auto changing the driving
mode(2WD/AWD)helps improve energy
efficiency and driving stability.
WARNING To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
• 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 a 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.

For safe AWD operation
Before driving
• Make sure all passengers are wearing seat belts.
• Sit upright and closer to the steering wheel than usual. Adjust the steering
wheel to a position comfortable for you
to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy roads
• Start off slowly by applying the accelerator pedal gently.
• Use snow tires or tire chains.
• Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.

6-37
• Using regenerative braking helps the steering on the downhill. However, it
may be difficult to adjust the vehicle
while coasting using regenerative
braking, so avoid using the third level of
regenerative braking as much as
possible.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent skids.
• It is difficult to start again if the vehicle stops on an uphill road. Keep your
distance from other vehicles and drive
slowly.
Information When using Snow Tires, mount them on all
four wheels.
When using tire chains, install them on the
rear tires.
However, driving speed must be below 18
mph (30 km/h) and minimize the driving
distance. High-speed or long-term driving
with tire chains installed may malfunction or
damage the AWD system.
For more information on Snow Tires and Tire
Chains, refer to the "Winter Driving" section
later in this chapter.
Driving in sand or mud
• Maintain slow and constant speed.
• Use tire chains driving in mud if necessary.
• Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
• Reduce vehicle speed and always check the road condition.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent getting stuck.

Driving up or down hills
• Driving uphill
- Before starting off, check if it is possible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
• Driving downhill - Do not change gear while driving downhill. Select gear before driving
downhill.
- Drive straight as possible.
WARNING Exercise extreme caution driving up or
down steep hills. The vehicle may flip over
depending on the grade, terrain, water
and mud conditions.
WARNING Do not drive across the contour of steep
hills. A slight change in the wheel angle
can destabilize the vehicle, or a stable
vehicle may lose stability if the vehicle
stops its forward motion. Your vehicle
may roll over and lead to a serious injury
or death.
Driving through water
• Try to avoid driving in deep standing water.
• Do not change gear while driving in water.

Driving Your Vehicle
6-38
CAUTION Always drive slowly in water. If you drive
too fast, water may get into the motor
compartment, causing your vehicle to
suddenly stop.
Additional driving conditions
• Become familiar with the off-road conditions before driving.
• Always pay attention when driving off-road and avoid dangerous areas.
• Drive slowly when driving in heavy wind.
• Reduce vehicle speed when cornering. The center of gravity of AWD vehicles is
higher than conventional 2WD vehicles,
making them more likely to roll over
when you rapidly turn corners.
• Always hold the steering wheel firmly when you are driving off-road.
WARNING Do not grab the inside of the steering
wheel when you are driving off-road. You
may hurt your arm by a sudden steering
maneuver or from steering wheel
rebound due to an impact with objects on
the ground. You could lose control of the
steering wheel which may lead to serious
injury or death.
Emergency Precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip all
four tires with the same size, type, tread
patterns, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
WARNING Do not use tire and wheel with different
size and type from the one originally
installed on your vehicle. It can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle,
which could lead to steering failure or
rollover causing serious injury.
WARNING
B6005201
Never start or run the vehicle while an
AWD vehicle is raised on a jack. The
vehicle can slip or roll off of a jack causing
serious injury or death to you or those
nearby.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with a
wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the
ground. For more information, refer to the
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection
• If the vehicle needs to be operated on a vehicle lift do not attempt to stop any of
the four wheels from turning. This could
damage the AWD system.
• Never engage the parking brake while running the vehicle on a car lift. This
may damage the AWD system.
