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.

✽NOTICE

P (Park) position.
• The DBC may not activate if the ESC (or ABS) is activated.
• Noise or vibration may occur from the brakes when the DBC is acti-
vated.

vate from the standby mode dur-
ing abrupt cornering or driving
over speed bumps.
Hill-start assist control (HAC)
A vehicle has the tendency to roll
back on a steep hill when the driver
begins to accelerate after a stop. The
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) pre-
vents the vehicle from rolling back by
operating the brakes automatically
for about 1.5 seconds. The brakes
are released when the accelerator
pedal is depressed or after about 1.5
seconds.WARNING
Unnecessary or unwanted
DBC activation may result in
an accident.
On a very steep hill even though the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal is depressed
the DBC may not deactivate.
WARNING
The HAC is activated only for
about 1.5 seconds, so always
depress the accelerator pedal to
begin accelerating after a stop.
