WARNING:
o If an airbag deploys, there may be a
loud noise followed by a fine dust
released in the vehicle. These condi-
tions are normal and are not hazard-
ous - the airbags are packed in this
fine powder. The dust generated dur-
ing airbag deployment may cause skin
or eye irritation as well as aggravate
asthma for some persons. Always
wash all exposed skin areas thor-
oughly with lukewarm water and a
mild soap after an accident in which
the airbags were deployed.Passenger's Airbag

!
o The SRS can function only when the
ignition key is in the "ON" position. If
the SRS SRI does not illuminate or
continuously remains on after illumi-
nating for about 6 seconds when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" po-
sition, or after the engine is started,
illuminates while driving, the SRS is
not working properly. If this occurs,
have your vehicle immediately in-
spected by your Hyundai dealer.
o Before you replace a fuse or discon-
nect a battery terminal, turn the igni-
tion key to the "LOCK" position or
remove the ignition key. Never re-
move or replace the air bag related
fuse(s) when the ignition key is in the
"ON" position. Failure to heed this
warning will cause the SRS SRI to
illuminate.
WARNING:
CAUTION:
When installing a container of liquid air
freshener inside the vehicle, do not place
it near the instrument cluster nor on the
instrument panel surface. If there is any
leakage from the air freshener onto these
areas (instrument cluster, instrument
panel or air ventilator), it may damage
these parts. If the liquid from the air
freshener does leak onto these areas,
wash them with water immediately.

B660B04E-AATTo Set the Cruise Speed
1. Push in the cruise control main switch
on the end of the barrel. The "CRUISE"
indicator light in the instrument cluster
will be illuminated. This turns the sys-
tem on.
2. Accelerate to the desired cruising speed
above 25 mph (40 km/h).
3. Push the cruise control switch down-
ward to "SET/COAST" or "−/SET" and
release it. If the "SET/COAST" or "−/
SET" switch is selected, the cruise "SET"
indicator light in the instrument cluster
will illuminate.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal and the desired speed will auto-
matically be maintained.
5. To momently increase speed, depress
the accelerator pedal enough for the
vehicle to exceed the preset speed.
When you remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will re-
turn to the speed you have set. The cruise control system provides auto-
matic speed control for your comfort when
driving on straight, open freeways, toll
roads, or other noncongested highways.
This system is designed to function above
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:Cruise control is not recommended for
city driving, winding roads, slippery
roads, heavy rain, or other bad weather
conditions.

B660E02E-AATTo Reset at a Faster Speed1. Push the control switch upward to the
"RES/ACC" or "+/RES" position and
hold it.
If the control switch "RES/ACC" or "+/
RES" is selected, the cruise "SET" indi-
cator in the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate.
2. Accelerate to desired speed and re-
lease the control switch. While the con-
trol switch is held, the vehicle will gradu-
ally gain speed. The vehicle will automatically resume the
speed set prior to cancellation when you
push the control switch upward to the "RES/
ACC" or "+/RES" position and release it,
providing the vehicle speed is above 25
mph (40 km/h).
If the control switch "RES/ACC" or "+/RES"
is selected, the cruise "SET" indicator in
the instrument cluster will illuminate.
B660F05E-AATTo Reset at a Slower Speed
1. Push the control switch downward to
"SET /COAST" or "−/SET"and hold it.
The vehicle will decelerate.
If the "SET/COAST" or "−/SET" switch is
selected, the cruise "SET" indicator light
in the instrument cluster will illuminate.
2. When the desired speed is obtained,
release the control switch. While the
control switch is pushed, the vehicle
speed will gradually decrease.
!
WARNING:
o Keep the cruise control main switch
off when not using the cruise control
to avoid inadvertently setting a speed.
o Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
o Do not use the cruise control when it
may not be safe to keep the car at a
constant speed, for instance, driving
in heavy or varying traffic, or on slip-
pery (rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-hill or
down-hill roads.
o Pay particular attention to the driving
conditions whenever using the cruise
control system.

!
Driving HintsTCS does not actively apply brakes. Be
sure to decelerate the car sufficiently be-
fore entering curves.
CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP
control function has been activated. It
also means that the road is slippery or
your car is accelerating excessively. In
this situation, gently release foot pres-
sure from the accelerator pedal and
maintain moderate speed.
!
WARNING:
Traction control is a driving aid; all nor-
mal precautions for driving in inclement
weather and on slippery driving surfaces
should be observed.
C310B02O-AATTCS ON/OFF ModeWhen the TCS is operating, the TCS indi-
cator in the instrument cluster will blink.
If you turn the system off by pressing the
TCS switch, the TCS-OFF indicator will
come on and stay on. In the TCS-OFF
mode, the SLIP control will be deactivated.
Adjust you driving accordingly. To turn the
system back on, press the switch again.
The TCS-OFF indicator should go off.NOTE:1) The TCS mode will automatically be
turned ON after the engine is turned
off and restarted.
2) When the traction control system is
operating properly, you can feel a
slight pulsation in the vehicle. This is
only the effect of brake control and
indicates nothing unusual.
3) When the engine starts, a click may
be heard from the engine compart-
ment; this is the sound of the traction
control being checked.
4) When moving out of the mud or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal
may not cause the engine speed to
increase due to TCS operation.
C310D01JM-AATIndicators and WarningThe indicators should illuminate when the
ignition key is turned to ON or START but
should go out after approximately three
seconds.
If the indicators do not illuminate, or the
TCS or TCS-OFF indicator does not go out
after 3 seconds, have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.
Should there be any unusual conditions in
the TCS System while driving, TCS-OFF
indicator illuminates as a warning.
If TCS-OFF indicator illuminates, pull your
car to a safe place and stop the engine.
Then, start the engine again to check if the
TCS-OFF indicator goes out.
If the indicator remains lit even after the
engine has been started, have your car
checked by an authorized Hyundai dealer.NOTE:When the TCS-OFF indicator illuminates,
traction control is automatically deacti-
vated.

DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI

CAUTION:
Driving with varying tire or wheel size
may cause the ESC system to malfunc-
tion. When replacing tires, make sure
they are the same size as your original
tires.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEMC310A03JM-AAT(If installed)
C310A01JM-U
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sys-
tem is designed to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering manuevers. ESC checks
where you are steering and where the
vehicle is actually going. ESC applies the
brakes at individual wheels and intervenes
in the engine management system to sta-
bilize the vehicle.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sys-
tem is an electronic system designed to
help the driver maintain vehicle control
under adverse conditions. It is not a substi-
tute for safe driving practices. Factors in-
cluding speed, road conditions and driver
steering input can all affect whether ESC
will be effective in preventing a loss of
control. It is still your responsibility to drive
and corner at reasonable speeds and to
leave a sufficient margin of safety.
WARNING:
Never drive too fast for the road condi-
tions or too quickly when cornering. Elec-
tronic stability control (ESC) will not pre-
vent accidents. Excessive speed in
turns, abrupt maneuvers and hydroplan-
ing on wet surfaces can still result in
serious accidents. Only a safe and at-
tentive driver can prevent accidents by
avoiding maneuvers that cause the ve-
hicle to lose traction. Even with ESC
installed, always follow all the normal
precautions for driving - including driv-
ing at safe speeds for the conditions.
C310B01JM-AATESC ON/OFF ModeWhen the ESC is operating, the ESC indi-
cator in the instrument cluster will blink.
If you turn the system off by pressing the
ESC switch, the ESC-OFF indicator will
come on and stay on. In the ESC-OFF
mode, the stability control will be deacti-
vated. Adjust your driving accordingly. To
turn the system back on, press the switch
again. The ESC-OFF indicator should go
off.NOTE:The ESC mode will automatically be
turned ON after the engine is turned off
and restarted.
