OOSH069019L
The coasting guide function informs the
driver when to take the foot off from the
accelerator by anticipating a decelerating
event* based on the analysis of driving
routes and road conditions of the
navigation. It encourages the driver to
remove foot from the pedal and allow
coasting down the road with EV motor
only. This helps prevent unnecessary
fuel consumption and increases fuel
efficiency.
Information
Example of a deceleration event is making
a right/left turn, driving through a rotary,
entering or exiting a highway (freeway),
etc.
Setting Coasting Guide function
Coasting Guide can be selected from the
User Settings mode in the cluster LCD
display or infotainmet system display by
following the procedure below.
1. Set the ignition switch in the ON
position.
2. Select ‘User Settings → Eco Vehicle → Coasting Guide’ in the cluster LCD display or infotainmet system display.
Operation conditions
After selecting the function from the
User Settings mode, the system enters
the ready status by following the
procedure below.
1. Enter your destination information in
the navigation system and select the
driving route.
2. Check that the vehicle is in ECO mode
by driving the vehicle in D (Drive).
3. Drive the vehicle between 25 mph(40
km/h)~100 mph(160 km/h).
Information
The operating speed may vary due to
difference between instrument cluster and
navigation effected by tire inflation level.
Information
Coasting guide is only a supplemental
function to assist with fuel-efficient
driving. Thus, the operating conditions
may be different in accordance with
traffic/road conditions (i.e. driving in a
traffic jam, driving on a slope, driving
on a curve). Take the actual driving
conditions into consideration, such as
distances from the vehicles ahead/behind,
while referring to the coasting guide
function as guidance.

Driving your vehicle

Power brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
If the vehicle is not in the ready (
)
mode or the vehicle is turned off while
driving, the power assist for the brakes
will not work. You can still stop your
vehicle by applying greater force to the
brake pedal than typical. The stopping
distance, however, will be longer than
with power brakes.
When the vehicle is not in the ready
(
) mode, the reserve brake power is
partially depleted each time the brake
pedal is applied. Do not pump the brake
pedal when the power assist has been
interrupted.
WARNING
Take the following precautions:
• Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
• When descending down a long
or steep hill, downshift to a lower
gear in order to control your
speed without using the brake
pedal excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will cause
the brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of braking
performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's
ability to safely slow down; the
vehicle may also pull to one side
when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test your
brakes in this fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes while maintaining
a safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal.
Avoid driving at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
NOTICE
• Do not continue depressing the
brake pedal if the "" indicator is OFF. The battery may be discharged.
• Noise and vibration generated
during braking is normal.
• Under normal operation, electric
brake pump noise and motor
vibration may occur temporarily in
below cases.
-When the pedal is depressed
suddenly.
-When the pedal is repeatedly
depressed in short intervals.
-When the ABS function is activated
while braking.
BRAKING SYSTEM

Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high
pitched warning sound from your front
or rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem with your brakes.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete
front or rear axle sets.
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
Applying the parking brake
OTM060007
To apply EPB (Electronic Parking Brake):
1. Depress the brake pedal.

Emergency braking
If there is a problem with the brake
pedal while driving, emergency braking
is possible by pulling up and holding
the EPB switch. Braking is possible only
while you are holding the EPB switch.
However, braking distance will be longer
than normal.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH, do not operate the EPB
while the vehicle is moving except
in an emergency situation. It could
damage the brake system and lead to
an accident.
Information
During emergency braking, the Parking
Brake warning light will illuminate to
indicate that the system is operating.
NOTICE
If you continuously notice a noise or
burning smell when the EPB is used for
emergency braking, we recommend
that you have the system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
