trailer Hyundai Santa Fe 2019 Owner's Manual - RHD (UK, Australia)

As with other vehicles of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correct-
ly may result in loss of control, an
accident or vehicle rollover.
Specific design characteristics (high-
er ground clearance, track, etc.) give
this vehicle a higher centre of gravity
than other types of vehicles. In other
words they are not designed for cor-
nering at the same speeds as con-
ventional 2-wheel drive vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeu-
vres. Again, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control, an accident or vehicle
rollover.Be sure to read the
"Reducing the risk of a rollover"
driving guidelines, in section 5 of
this manual.By following a few simple precautions
for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you
may add to the performance, econo-
my and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Whilst driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first
1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation.HYUNDAI promotes an environmen-
tally sound treatment for end of life
vehicles and offers to take back your
HYUNDAI end of life vehicles in
accordance with the European Union
(EU) End of Life Vehicles Directive.
You can get detailed information
from your national HYUNDAI home-
page.

Driving your vehicle
Information
The VSM does not operate when:
• Driving on a banked road such as
gradient or incline.
• Driving in reverse.
• The ESC OFF indicator light is on.
• The EPS (Electric power steering)
warning light ( ) is on or blinks.
Driving with wheels and tyres with
different sizes may cause the VSM
system to malfunction. Before
replacing tyres, make sure all four
tyres and wheels are the same
size. Never drive the vehicle with
different sized tyres and wheels
installed.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
(if equipped)
Trailer stability assist is operated as
vehicle stability control system.
Trailer stability assist system has an
effort to stabilize the vehicle and trail-
er when the trailer sways or oscil-
lates. There are various reasons
making vehicle sway and oscillate.
Almost case it happens at high
speed however, if the trailer is affect-
ed by crosswinds, buffeting, and
improper overloading, 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
NOTICE
i
If the ESC indicator light ( ) or
EPS warning light ( ) stays
illuminated or blinks, your vehi-
cle may have a malfunction with
the VSM system. When the
warning light illuminates we
recommend that the vehicle be
checked by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer as soon as possi-
ble.
WARNING

Trailer stability assist system contin-
uously analyzes the vehicle and trail-
er instability. When the Trailer stabili-
ty assist system 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 oper-
ate.Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
(if equipped)
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when starting a vehicle
from a stop on a hill. The system
operates the brakes automatically for
approximately 2 seconds and releas-
es the brake after 2 seconds or when
the accelerator pedal is depressed.
Information
• The HAC does not operate when the
shift lever is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral).
• The HAC activates even when the
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is
off. However, it does not activate,
when the ESC does not operate nor-
mally.
Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)
(if equipped)
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking
the stop lights, whilst sharply and
severely braking.
The system is activated when:
• The vehicle suddenly stops. (The
deceleration power exceeds 7 m/s
2,
and the driving speed exceeds 34
mph (55 km/h)).
• The ABS is activated and the driv-
ing speed exceeds 34 mph (55
km/h).
The hazard warning flasher automat-
ically turns ON after blinking the stop
lights:
• When the driving speed is under
25 mph (40 km/h),
• When the ABS is deactivated, and
• When the sudden braking situation
is over.
i
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting
off on a incline. The HAC acti-
vates only for approximately 2
seconds.

If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
Turn off the BCW and RCCW system
(if equipped) when a trailer or carrier
is installed.
- Press the BCW button (the indica-
tor on the button extinguish)
- Deactivate the RCCW system by
deselecting
"User Settings →Driver assistance
→Blind-spot safety →RCCW
(Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning)" (if equipped)
If you use BCW system, remove a
trailer or carrier.
When the BCW cancelled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.After any dirt or debris is removed,
the BCW should operate normally
after about 10 minutes of driving the
vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
Check BCW (Blind-spot Collision
Warning) system
If there is a problem with the BCW
system, a warning message will
appear and the light on the switch
will turn off. The system will turn off
automatically. We recommend that
you have your vehicle inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
