The Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system
automatically and temporarily shuts
down the engine when the vehicle
is stopped and idling to improve fuel
efficiency and reduce exhaust gas
emissions. (i.e. red stop light, stop sign,
and traffic jam).
The engine is automatically started upon
satisfying the starting conditions.
The ISG system is always active, when
the engine is running.
Information
When the engine is automatically started
by the ISG system, some warning
lights (i.e. ABS, ESC, ESC OFF, EPS,
and parking brake warning light) may
illuminate for a few seconds due to the
low battery voltage. However, it does
not indicate a malfunction with the ISG
system.

• Outside temperature is not too low or
too high
• The vehicle is driven over a constant
speed and stops
• The climate control system satisfies
the conditions
• The vehicle is sufficiently warmed up
• The incline is gradual
• The steering wheel is turned less than
180 degrees and then the vehicle

Battery Sensor Deactivation
ODN8A069204
[A] : Battery sensor
The battery sensor is deactivated, when
the battery is disconnected from the
negative pole for maintenance purpose.
In this case, the ISG system is limitedly
operated due to the battery sensor
deactivation. Thus, the driver needs
to take the following procedures to
reactivate the battery sensor after
disconnecting the battery.
Prerequisites to reactivate the
battery sensor
Switch "ON" and "OFF" the ignition one
time. Park the vehicle for a minimum of 4
hours with the hood and all doors closed.
Pay extreme caution not to connect any
accessories (i.e. navigation and black
box) to the vehicle with the engine in the
OFF status. If not, the battery sensor may
not be reactivated.
Information
The ISG system may not operate in the
following situations.
-Ther

e is a malfunction with the ISG
system.
- The battery is weak.
-The brake vacuum pr

essure is low.
If this occurs, have the ISG system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
NOTICE
• Use only a genuine HYUNDAI
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery
for replacement. If not, the ISG
system may not operate normally.
• Do not recharge the Absorbent Glass
Mat (AGM) battery with a general
battery charger. It may damage or
explode the Absorbent Glass Mat
(AGM) battery.
• Do not remove the battery cap. The
battery electrolyte, which is harmful
to the human body, may leak out.

Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or damage
the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or adversely
affect vehicle handling. This could lead
to sudden tire failure that may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified
on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more fuel and is less efficient
than driving at a slower, more moderate
speed. Maintain a moderate speed in
order to conserve fuel when driving on
the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine coolant
level and the engine oil before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.
