Driving your vehicle
If the EPB is applied while AutoHold is activated because of ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) signal,
a warning sound and a message
will appear.
If the driver’s door is opened and the seatbelt is not fastened while
Auto Hold is opened, a warning will
sound and a message will appear.
EPB malfunction indicator
(if equipped)
This warning light illuminates if the
engine start/stop button is changed
to the ON position and goes off in
approximately 3 seconds if the sys-
tem is operation normally.
If the EPB malfunction indicator
remains on, comes on while driving,
or does not come on when the igni-
tion switch or the engine start/stop
button is changed to the ON position,
this indicates that the EPB may have
malfunctioned.
If this occurs, have the system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. The EPB malfunction indicator may
illuminate when the ESC indicator
comes on to indicate that the ESC is
not working properly, but it does not
indicate a malfunction of the EPB.

and steering responses when a vehi-
cle is driving on a slippery road or a
vehicle detected changes in coeffi-
cient of friction between right wheels
and left wheels when braking.
VSM operation
When the VSM is in operation, ESC
indicator light ( ) blinks.
When the vehicle stability manage-
ment is operating properly, you can
feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle
and/or abnormal steering responses
(EPS). This is only the effect of brake
and EPS control and indicates noth-
ing unusual. The VSM does not operate when:
Driving on a banked road such as
gradient or incline
Driving rearward

Malfunction indicator
The VSM system will automatically
be deactivated if a malfunction has
been detected somewhere in the
Electric Power Steering system or
the VSM system. If a malfunction is
detected, the ESC indicator light will
illuminate and remain on. If the ESC
indicator light ( ) or EPS warning
light remains on, take your vehicle to
an authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 9 mph (15
km/h) on curves.
• The VSM is designed to function above approximately 18 mph (30
km/h) when a vehicle is braking on
a split-mu road. The split-mu road
is made of surfaces which have dif-
ferent friction forces.
Downhill brake control (DBC)
The Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
assists the driver when descending a
steep hill without the driver depress-
ing the brake pedal. It slows the vehi-
cle to approximately 6.3 mph (10
km/h) and lets the driver concentrate
on steering the vehicle.
DBC defaults to the OFF position
whenever the ignition is turned on.
The DBC can be turned on or off by
pushing the button.
WARNING
The Vehicle Stability
Management system is not a
substitute for safe driving
practices but a supplemen-
tary function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. Always hold the steer-
ing wheel firmly while driving.
Your vehicle is designed to operate according to the dri-
ver's input through steering,
acceleration, and braking,
even with the VSM opera-
tional. Always follow all the
normal precautions for driv-
ing at safe speeds for the con-
ditions – including driving in
inclement weather and on a
slippery road.
Driving with varying tire or wheel sizes may cause the
VSM system to malfunction.
When replacing tires, make
sure they are the same size as
your original tires.
