Convenient features of your vehicle
Slightly change the cellular phone
position, when the cellular phone is
not being charged. Make sure that
the indicator illuminates in orange.
The indicator color may not change
to green in accordance with the cel-
lular phone type, even though the
charging process is completed. The
indicator blinks in orange for 10 sec-
onds when there is a malfunction
with the wireless charging system. In
this case, temporarily stop the charg-
ing process, and re-attempt to wire-
lessly charge your cellular phone
again.
The system warns you with a mes-
sage on the LCD display when you
do not take out the cellular phone
from the wireless charging unit with
the front door open and the Engine
Start/Stop button in the OFF posi-
tion. The wireless cellular phone
charging system may not sup-
port certain cellular phones,
which are not verified for the Qi
specification ( ).
Locate your cell phone well in the middle of the wireless cellu-
lar phone charging system.
Even when your cell phone
locates slightly to one side, the
charging speed may decrease.
The wireless charging process may temporarily stop, when a
smart key function operates (i.e.
starting the engine, opening the
doors, closing the doors).
For certain cell phones, the indi- cator color may not change to
green, even when the wireless
charging process is properly
completed.
(Continued)(Continued)
The wireless charging process
may temporarily stop, when tem-
perature abnormally increases
inside the wireless cellular
phone charging system. The
wireless charging process
restarts, when temperature falls
to a proper level.
The wireless charging process may temporarily stop when
there is any metallic item, such
as a coin, between the wireless
cellular phone charging system
and a cellular phone.NOTICE

When driving downhill, you mayuse Manual shift mode and press
the paddle shifters (except 1.6 T-
GDI engine) to downshift to a lower
gear in order to control your speed
without using the brake pedal
excessively.
When you turn the engine on and off, you may hear clicking sounds
as the system goes through a self
test. This is a normal sound for the
Ecoshift dual clutch transmission.
To hold the vehicle on a hill usethe foot brake or the parking
brake. If the vehicle is held by
applying the accelerator pedal
on a hill the clutch and trans-
mission will be overheated
resulting in damage.
At this time, a warning message
will appear on the LCD display
and you may feel a vibration.
(Continued)(Continued)
If the clutch becomes overheat-
ed by excessive use of the
clutch to hold on a hill, you may
notice a shudder feeling and a
blinking display on the instru-
ment cluster. When this occurs,
the clutch is disabled until the
clutch cools to normal tempera-
tures. If this occurs, pull over to
a safe location, shift into P
(Park) and apply the foot brake
for a few minutes.
If the LCD warning is active, the foot brake must be applied.
Ignoring the warnings can lead to damage to the transmission.
If the display continues to blink, for your safety, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.

Due to transmission failure, you
may not continue to drive and
the position indicator (D,R) on
the cluster will blink. Contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and
have the system checked.
WARNING

5-21
Driving your vehicle
(Continued)
Under certain conditions suchas repeated launch on steep
grades, the clutch in the trans-
mission could overheat. When
the clutch is overheated, the
safe protection mode engages. If
the safe protection mode
engages, the gear position indi-
cator on the cluster blinks with a
chime sound. At this time, a
warning message will appear on
the LCD display and driving may
not be smooth.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you ignore this warning, the
driving condition may become
worse. To return the normal driv-
ing condition, stop the vehicle
and apply the foot brake for a
few minutes before driving off.
Repetitive kick downs may lead to overheating of the transmis-
sion. This will lead to change in
the vehicle speed shift pattern,
and illuminate some warning
message.
To return the normal driving
condition, refrain from kick
down speed changes. When the
warning message illuminates,
park the vehicle at a safe loca-
tion.
If the ecoshift dual clutch trans- mission starts to become over-
heated, the gear shift character-
istics may change. Gear shifts
may become more abrupt. If
continued operation includes
frequent and continuous
upshifts and downshifts, the
overheat warning message on
the cluster LCD display may illu-
minate.
(Continued)(Continued)
If this occurs, stop the vehicle,
apply the brakes or shift the
vehicle to P (Park), and allow the
transmission to cool with engine
on.
When possible, continue to
drive the vehicle smoothly while
trying to avoid frequent upshift-
ing and downshifting.
Gear shifts may be more notice- able than a conventional auto-
matic transmission. This is a
normal characteristic of this
type of Ecoshift dual clutch
transmission.
During the first 1000 miles, you may feel that the vehicle may not
be smooth when accelerating at
low speed. During this break-in
period, the shift quality and per-
formance of your new vehicle is
continuously optimized.
Always come to a complete stop before shifting into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
Do not put the shift lever in N (Neutral) while driving.

OLF047702NOLF047703L
An Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS) or an Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system will not
prevent accidents due to
improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehi-
cle control is improved during
emergency braking, always
maintain a safe distance
between you and objects ahead
of you. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during
extreme road conditions. The
braking distance for cars
equipped with ABS or ESC may
be longer than for those without
these systems in the following
road conditions.(Continued)

Driving your vehicle
If you press the LKAS button again,
the indicator on the cluster display
will go off.
The color of indicator will change
depend on the condition of LKAS.
- White : Sensor does not detect the lane marker or vehicle speed is
less than 40 mph (64 km/h).
- Green : Sensor detects the lane marker and system is able to con-
trol the steering.
LKAS activation
To see the LKAS screen on theLCD display in the cluster, Tab to
the ASSIST mode ( ). For more
details, refer to "LCD Display" in
chapter 3.
After LKAS is activated, if both lane markers are detected, vehicle
speed is over 40 mph (64 km/h)
and all the activation conditions are
satisfied, a green steering wheel
indicator will illuminate and the
steering wheel will be controlled.
OLF057562N
The Lane Keeping Assist
System is a system to help pre-
vent the driver from leaving the
lane. However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always check the road con-
ditions when driving.
WARNING

5-81
Driving your vehicle
LKAS function change Lane Departure Warning
LDWS alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the steering wheel
will not be controlled. When the vehi-
cle’s front wheel contacts the inside
edge of lane line, LKAS issues the
lane departure warning.
Standard LKA
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to help keep the vehicle within
the lanes. It rarely controls the steer-
ing wheel, when the vehicle drives
well inside the lanes. However, it
starts to control the steering wheel,
when the vehicle is about to deviate
out of the lanes.
Active LKA
The active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering wheel control in
comparison with the Standard LKA
mode. Active LKA can reduce the dri-
ver’s fatigue to assist the steering for
maintaining the vehicle in the middle
of the lane.
5The driver can change LKAS to Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) or
the LKAS mode between Standard LKA and Active LKA from the User
Settings Mode on the LCD display.
