• When the ESC activates, theengine may not respond to the
accelerator as it does under routine
conditions.
• If the Cruise Control was in use when the ESC activates, the Cruise
Control automatically disengages.
The Cruise Control can be reen-
gaged when the road conditions
allow. See "Cruise Control System"
later in this chapter. (if equipped)
• When moving out of the mud or driving on a slippery road, the
engine rpm (revolutions per minute)
may not increase even if you press
the accelerator pedal deeply. This is
to maintain the stability and traction
of the vehicle and does not indicate
a problem.ESC OFF condition
To cancel ESC operation :
• State 1
Press the ESC OFF button briefly.
The ESC OFF indicator light and
message "Traction Control disabled"
will illuminate. In this state, the trac-
tion control function of ESC (engine

brake control function of ESC (brak-
ing management) are disabled.
If the ignition switch is placed in the
LOCK/OFF position when ESC is off,
ESC remains off. Upon restarting the
vehicle, the ESC will automatically
turn on again.
Indicator lights
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the ESC indicator light illu-
minates, then goes off if the ESC
system is operating normally.
The ESC indicator light blinks when-
ever the ESC is operating.
If the ESC indicator light stays on,
your vehicle may have a malfunction
with the ESC system. When this
warning light illuminates we recom-
mend that the vehicle be checked by
a HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible.

Driving your vehicle
When the 4WD LOCK mode is
deactivated, a sensation may be
felt as the driving power is deliv-
ered entirely to the front wheels.
For safe 4WD operation
Before driving
• Make sure all passengers are wearing seat belts.
• Sit upright and closer to the steer- ing wheel than usual. Adjust the
steering wheel to a position com-
fortable for you to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy
roads
• Start off slowly by applying theaccelerator pedal gently.
• Use snow tyres or tyre chains.
• Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.
• Use engine braking during deceler- ation.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns to prevent skids.
Driving in sand or mud
• Maintain slow and constant speed.
• Use tyre chains driving in mud ifnecessary.
• Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.

tions.
The ISG system is always active,
when the engine is running.
Information
When the engine is automatically
started by the ISG system, some warn-
ing lights (i.e. ABS, ESC, ESC OFF,
EPS, and parking brake warning
light) may illuminate for a few sec-
onds due to the low battery voltage.

Driving your vehicle
• If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly whilst driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the
water. The best advice is SLOW
DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increas-
es as the depth of tyre tread
decreases, refer to "Tyre Tread" in
chapter 7.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing slowly.
Highway driving
Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or
damage the tyres.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tyres, which may reduce traction or
fail the braking operation.
Information
Never over-inflate your tyres above
the maximum inflation pressure, as
specified on your tyres.
Fuel, engine coolant and engineoil
Driving at higher speeds on the high-
way consumes more fuel and is less
efficient than driving at a slower,
more moderate speed. Maintain a
moderate speed in order to conserve
fuel when driving on the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine
coolant level and the engine oil
before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.
