ALWAYS check the surround-
ing 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
gear is in the P (Park) posi-
tion, then set the parking
brake, and place the POWER
button in the OFF position.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur if

Driving your vehicle
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift the gear from R (Reverse), N
(Neutral) or D (Drive) to P (Park),
press the [P] button.
If you turn off the vehicle in D (Drive)
or R (Reverse), the gear automatical-
ly shifts to P (Park).
With the vehicle on, the gear auto-
matically shifts to P (Park) if you
open the driver’s door when the
gear is in N (Neutral), R (Reverse)
or D (Drive) and the following con-
ditions are met:
- The brake/accelerator pedal is
not depressed
- The seat belt is unfastened
- The vehicle speed is below 1
mph (2 km/h)
When the vehicle is over a certain
speed, the gear does not shift to P
(Park) when the P button is
pressed.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
in reverse.
To shift to R (Reverse), press the [R]
button while depressing the brake
pedal.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and gear are not
engaged.
To shift to N (Neutral), press the [N]
button while depressing the brake
pedal.
Always depress the brake pedal
when you are shifting from N
(Neutral) to another gear.
In N (Neutral), if the driver attempts
to turn off the vehicle, the gear
remains in N (Neutral) and the
POWER button will be in the ACC
position.
To turn off the vehicle from the ACC
position, press the [P] button within 3
minutes. The vehicle will shift to P
(Park) and turn off.
Shifting into P (Park) while the
vehicle is in motion may
cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the gear is
in P (Park), apply the parking
brake, and turn the vehicle off.
Do not use the P (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking
brake.
WARNING

5-18
Driving your vehicle
Always apply the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the 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.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 belt-
ed occupant.
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering 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.
WARNING 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 recommends you
follow all posted speed limits.

enabled when:
The gear is in P (Park) and select
'User settings →Convenience →
Smart Regeneration' on the User
Settings mode.
The setting is maintained when the

When vehicle speed is under 6
mph (10 km/h), the Smart
Regeneration System is can-
celled. The driver must adjust
the vehicle speed by depress-
ing the accelerator or brake
pedal according to the road
condition ahead and driving
condition.
WARNING

5-22
Driving your vehicle
When the system is turned on from
the User Settings mode, but the front
radar doesn't recognize the vehicle
in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in white.If the front radar recognizes the vehi-
cle in front, 'AUTO' is displayed in
blue. The regenerative braking level
is automatically controlled depend-
ing on the driving condition of the
vehicle in front and the level is indi-
cated with arrows.
However, current regenerative brak-
ing level is maintained if the driver
depresses the brake pedal while the
system is in activation. Also, the sys-
tem is cancelled temporarily if the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
OOSEV058097NOOSEV058001N
The Smart Regeneration
System which automatically
controls the regenerative brak-
ing level when coasting is only
a supplemental system for the
driver's convenience. The sys-
tem cannot completely stop the
vehicle nor avoid all collisions.
The brake control may be insuf-
ficient depending on the speed
of the vehicle in front and when
the vehicle in front suddenly
stops, a vehicle cuts in sudden-
ly or there is a steep slope.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Front
Recognition - Front Radar
Sensor
In order for the Smart Regeneration
System to operate properly, always
make sure the radar sensor cover is
clean and free of dirt, snow, and
debris. Dirt, snow, or foreign sub-
stances on the lens may adversely
affect the sensing performance of
the sensor. In this case, the system
operation may stop temporarily and
not operate normally.
Do not apply license plate
frame or foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a
bumper guard near the radar
sensor. Doing so may adverse-
ly affect the sensing perform-
ance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor
and lens cover clean and free
of dirt and debris.
CAUTION
When the Smart Regeneration
System is cancelled automati-
cally, adjust the vehicle speed
directly by depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal
according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition.

Warning Message
Check Smart Regeneration System
The message will appear when the
system is not functioning normally.
The system will be disabled and the
"AUTO" indicator in the LCD display
will be turned off. Check for foreign
substances on the front radar.
Remove any dirt, snow, or foreign
material that could interfere with the
radar sensors. If the system still does
not operate normally, take your vehi-
cle to an authorized HYUNDAI deal-
er and have the system checked.
Limitations of the System
The Smart Regeneration System
may not operate properly in certain
situations when the driving condition
is beyond the performance of the
front radar sensor.
Driver's attention is required in such
cases when the system does not
react properly or operate uninten-
tionally.Use only a soft cloth to wash
the vehicle. Do not spray pres-
surized water directly on the
sensor or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnec-
essary force on the radar sen-
sor or sensor cover. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of
proper alignment, the Smart
Regeneration System may not
operate correctly. In this case,
a warning message may not
be displayed. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
If the front bumper becomes
damaged in the area around
the radar sensor, the Smart
Regeneration System may not
operate properly. Have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Use only genuine HYUNDAI
parts to repair or replace a
damaged sensor or sensor
cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.
