5When driving
 ESC should be turned on for daily driv-
ing whenever possible.
 To turn ESC off whilst driving, press the ESC OFF button whilst driving on a
flat road surface.✽ ✽ NOTICE• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the ESC is
turned off (ESC OFF light illuminat-
ed). If the ESC is left on, it may pre-
vent the vehicle speed from increas-
ing, and result in false diagnosis.
• Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS or brake system operation.
Vehicle stability management
(VSM) (if equipped)This system provides further enhance-
ments to vehicle stability and steering
responses when a vehicle is driving on a
slippery road or a vehicle detected
changes in coefficient of friction between
right wheels and left wheels when brak-
ing.VSM operationWhen the vehicle stability management
is operating properly, you can feel a slight
pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the
effect of brake control and indicates noth-
ing unusual.
The VSM does not operate when:

nates.
To turn on the VSM, press the button
again. The ESC OFF indicator light goes
out.Malfunction indicatorThe VSM can be deactivated even if you
don’t cancel the VSM operation by press-
ing the ESC OFF button. It indicates that
a malfunction has been detected some-
where in the Electric Power Steering sys-
tem or VSM system. If the ESC indicator
light ( ) or EPS warning light remains
on, we recommend that the system be
checked by a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer.✽ ✽ NOTICE• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 9 mph (15 km/h)
on curves.
• The VSM is designed to function above approximately 12 mph (20
km/h) when a vehicle is braking on a
split-mu road. The split-mu road is
made of surfaces which have different
friction forces.
WARNING
Never press the ESC OFF button
whilst ESC is operating (ESC indi-
cator light blinks).

Driving your vehicle
Hill-start assist control (HAC)
(if equipped) A vehicle has the tendency to slip back
on a steep hill when it starts to go after
stopping. The Hill-start Assist Control
(HAC) prevents the vehicle from slipping
back by operating the brakes automati-
cally for about 2 seconds. The brakes are
released when the accelerator pedal is
depressed or after about 2 seconds.✽ ✽NOTICE• The HAC does not operate when the
transaxle shift lever is in the P (Park)
or N (Neutral) position.
• The HAC activates even though the ESC is off but it does not activate
when the ESC has malfunctioned.
WARNING
 The Vehicle Stability Management
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices but a sup-
plementary function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Always hold the steering wheel
firmly whilst driving.
 Your vehicle is designed to acti- vate according to the driver’s
intention, even with installed
VSM. Always follow all the normal
precautions for driving at safe
speeds for the conditions –
including driving inclement
weather and on a slippery road.
 Driving with varying tyre or wheel sizes may cause the VSM system
to malfunction. When replacing
tyres, make sure they are the
same size as your original tyres.
WARNING
The HAC is activated only for about
2 seconds, so when the vehicle is
starting off always depress the
accelerator pedal.

5Downhill brake control (DBC)
(if equipped)The Downhill Brake Control (DBC) sup-
ports the driver come down a steep hill
without the driver depressing the brake
pedal. It slows down the vehicle under 5
mph (8 km/h) with the automatic
transaxle or 5 mph (8 km/h) with the
manual transaxle and lets the driver con-
centrate on steering the vehicle.
DBC defaults to the OFF position when-
ever the ignition is turned on.
The DBC can be turned on or off by
pushing the button.
Standby
Press the DBC button when the vehicle speed is under
25 mph (40 km/h). The DBC system will turn ON and
enter the standby mode.
The system does not turn ON if the vehicle speed is
over 25 mph (40 km/h).
In the standby mode, if the vehicle speed is under 22
mph (35 km/h) whilst driving down a steep hill, the DBC
will activate automatically.
In the activated mode, the DBC will temporarily deacti-
vate under the following conditions:
 The hill is not steep enough.
 The brake pedal or accelerator pedal is depressed.If the above conditions are gone, the DBC will automat-
ically activate again.
The DBC will turn OFF under the following conditions:
 The DBC button is pressed again.
 The vehicle speed is over 38 mph (60 km/h).

Driving your vehicle
✽
✽NOTICE• The DBC does not turn ON in the P
(Park) position.
• The DBC may not activate if the ESC (or BAS, if equipped) is activated.
• Noise or vibration may occur from the brakes when the DBC is activated.
• The rear stop light comes on when the DBC is activated.
• In a very steep hill even though the brake pedal or accelerator pedal is
depressed the DBC may not deacti-
vate.
• Always turn OFF the DBC on normal roads. The DBC might activate from
the standby mode when abrupt corn-
ing or driving through speed bumps.
• DBC may activate and cause the engine to stop in vehicles with manual
transaxle if you drive in 3rd gear (or
above) with DBC on. Do not turn on
DBC when driving in 3rd gear (or
above).
ESS : Emergency Stop SignalThe Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking the
stop light when the vehicle suddenly
stops or when the ABS activates in a
stop. (The system activates when the
vehicle speed is over 34 mph (55 km/h)
and the vehicle deceleration is over
7m/s² or the ABS activates when the
vehicle emergency braking.)
When the vehicle speed is under 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the ABS deactivates or the
sudden stop situation is over, the stop
light will not blink. Instead, the hazard
warning flasher will turn on automatically.
The hazard warning flasher will turn off
when the vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10
km/h) after the vehicle has stopped. Also,
it will turn off when the vehicle drives at
low speed for some time. You can turn it
off manually by pushing the hazard warn-
ing flasher switch.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
(if equipped)Trailer stability assist is operated as vehi-
cle stability control system. Trailer stabili-
ty assist system has an effort to stabilize
the vehicle and trailer when the trailer
sways or oscillates. There are various
reasons making vehicle sway and oscil-
late. Almost case it happens at high
speed however, if the trailer is affected by
crosswinds, buffeting, and improper over-
loading, it may be a risk of swaying.
Factors of swaying such as:
- High speed
- Strong crosswinds
- Improper overloading
- Sudden controlling of steering wheel
- Uneven road
CAUTION
The Emergency Stop Signal system
will not work if the hazard warningflasher is already on.

5Trailer stability assist system continuous-
ly analyzes the vehicle and trailer insta-
bility. When the Trailer stability assist sys-
tem detects some sway, the brakes are
applied automatically to stabilize the
vehicle on the front wheel. However, if it
is not enough to stabilize, the brakes are
applied on all wheels automatically and
engine power is properly reduced. When
the vehicle is stable from swaying, trailer
stability assist system does not operate.
Good braking practices
 Check to be sure the parking brake is
not engaged and that the parking
brake indicator light is out before driv-
ing away.
 Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! 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, taking care to keep the vehicle
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 we
recommend that you call a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer for assistance.
 Don't coast down hills with the vehicle out of gear. This is extremely haz-
ardous. Keep the vehicle 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.
WARNING
 Whenever you leave or park yourvehicle, always set the parking
brake as far as possible and fully
engage the vehicle's transaxle
into the P (Park) position. If the
parking brake is not fully
engaged, the vehicle may move
inadvertently and injure yourself
and others.
 All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadver-
tent movement of the vehicle
which can injure occupants or
pedestrians.

Driving your vehicle
 Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Restingyour foot on the brake pedal whilst 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 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
place.
 If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transaxle, don't let your vehi-
cle creep forward. To avoid creeping
forward, keep your foot firmly on the
brake pedal when the vehicle is
stopped.  Be caution when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake and
place the shift lever in P (automatic
transaxle) or in first or reverse gear
(manual transaxle). If your vehicle is
facing downhill, turn the front wheels
into the kerb to help keep the vehicle
from rolling. If your vehicle is facing
uphill, turn the front wheels away from
the kerb to help keep the vehicle from
rolling. If there is no kerb or if it is
required by other conditions to keep
the vehicle 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 whilst you put the gear
selector lever in P (automatic
transaxle) or in first or reverse gear
(manual transaxle) and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake.
 Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause the transaxle to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or parking
brake.

51. Cruise indicator
2. Cruise set indicator
The cruise control system allows you to
program the vehicle to maintain a con-
stant speed without pressing the acceler-
ator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
✽ ✽
NOTICEDuring normal cruise control operation,
when the SET switch is activated or
reactivated after applying the brakes,
the cruise control will energize after
approximately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.✽ ✽NOTICETo activate cruise control, depress the
brake pedal at least once after turning
the ignition switch to the ON position or
starting the engine. This is to check if
the brake switch which is important
part to cancel cruise control is in normal
condition.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
 If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminated),
the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally. Keep
the cruise control system off
(CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently set-
ting a speed.
 Use the cruise control system only when travelling on open
highways in good weather.
 Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to keep
the vehicle at a constant speed,
for instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-hill
or down-hill roads.
 Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control system.
 Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehicle
speed.
CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of amanual transaxle vehicle, do notshift into neutral without depress-ing the clutch pedal, since theengine will be overrevved. If thishappens, depress the clutch pedalor release the cruise control ON-OFF switch.
