The indicator in the instrument clus-
ter displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must
depress firmly on the brake pedal
and make sure your foot is off the
accelerator pedal.
If you have done all of the above
and still cannot shift the lever out of
P (Park), see "Shift-Lock Release"
in this chapter.
The shift lever must be in P (Park)
before turning the engine off.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
•ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
•Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, then set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur
if these precautions are not
followed.
•Do not use the engine brake
(shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads. The vehicle may
slip causing an accident.
WARNING
•Shifting into P (Park) whilst
the vehicle is in motion may
cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
•After the vehicle has stopped,
always make sure the shift
lever is in P (Park), apply the
parking brake, and turn the
engine off.
•Do not use the P (Park) posi-
tion in place of the parking
brake.

Driving your vehicle
• Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not
depend on placing the transaxle in
P (Park) to keep the vehicle from
moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident
• Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator. (Continued)
•In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
•HYUNDAI recommends you
follow all posted speed limits.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•ALWAYS wear your seatbelt.
In a collision, an unbelted
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belt-
ed occupant.
•Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
•Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
•The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control
of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
•Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.

Driving your vehicle• The dual clutch transmission givesthe driving feel of a manual
transaxle, yet provides the ease of
a fully automatic transaxle. Unlike
a traditional automatic transaxle,
the gear shifting can be felt (and
heard) on the dual clutch transmis-
sion
- Think of it as an automaticallyshifting manual transaxle.
- Shift into Drive range and get fully automatic shifting, similar to a
conventional automatic transaxle. • Dual clutch transmission adopts
dry-type dual clutch, which is dif-
ferent from torque converter of
automatic transaxle, and shows
better acceleration performance
during driving. But, initial launch
might be little bit slower than
Automatic Transaxle.
• Gear shifts are sometimes more noticeable than a conventional
automatic transmission and a light
vibration during launching can be
felt as the transmission speed is
matched with the engine speed.
This is a normal condition of the
dual clutch transmission.
• The dry-type clutch transfers torque and provides a direct driv-
ing feeling which may feel different
from a conventional automatic
transaxle with a torque converter.
This may be more noticeable when
starting from a stop or low vehicle
speed.
• When rapidly accelerating at low vehicle speed, engine could rev at
high rpm depending on vehicle
drive condition.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
•ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
•Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)

•To avoid damage to your
transaxle, do not try to accel-
erate in R (Reverse) or any for-
ward gear position with the
brakes on.
•When stopped on slope, do
not hold the vehicle with
accelerator pedal. Use the
service brake or the parking
brake.

ward or backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.

ABS is an electronic braking system
that helps prevent a braking skid.
ABS allows the driver to steer and
brake at the same time.
Using ABS
To obtain the maximum benefit from
your ABS in an emergency situation,
do not attempt to modulate your
brake pressure and do not try to
pump your brakes. Depress your
brake pedal as hard as possible.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ABS is
active.
ABS does not reduce the time or dis-
tance it takes to stop the vehicle.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you.
ABS will not prevent a skid that
results from sudden changes in
direction, such as trying to take a
corner too fast or making a sudden
lane change. Always drive at a safe
speed for the road and weather con-
ditions.ABS cannot prevent a loss of stabili-
ty. Always steer moderately when
braking hard. Severe or sharp steer-
ing wheel movement can still cause
your vehicle to veer into oncoming
traffic or off the road.
On loose or uneven road surfaces,
operation of the anti-lock brake sys-
tem may result in a longer stopping
distance than for vehicles equipped
with a conventional brake system.
The ABS warning light ( ) will stay
on for several seconds after the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON
position. During that time, the ABS
will go through self-diagnosis and the
light will go off if everything is nor-
mal. If the light stays on, you may
have a problem with your ABS. We
recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer as
soon as possible.(Continued)
•On roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has different
surface height.
•Tyre chains are installed on
your vehicle.
The safety features of an ABS
or ESC equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed
driving or cornering. This could
endanger the safety of yourself
or others.

ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the ESC and the ESC OFF
indicator lights illuminate for approxi-
mately three seconds and goes off,
then the ESC is turned on.
When operating
When the ESC is in opera-
tion, the ESC indicator light
blinks:
• When you apply your brakes under conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ESC is
active.
• When the ESC activates, the engine may not respond to the
accelerator as it does under routine
conditions.
• If the Cruise Control was in use when the ESC activates, the Cruise
Control automatically disengages.
The Cruise Control can be reen-
gaged when the road conditions
allow. See “Cruise Control System”
later in this chapter. (if equipped)
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. The ESC system will
not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
manoeuvres, and hydroplaning
on wet surfaces can result in
severe accidents.WARNING

To prevent damage to the
transaxle:
• Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle to spin excessively whilst
the ESC, ABS, and parking brake
warning lights are displayed.
The repairs would not be cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do
not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly whilst these lights are dis-
played.
• When operating the vehicle on a dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) (if equipped)
Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tyres can suddenly become uneven.
VSM operation
VSM ON condition
The VSM operates when:
• The Electronic Stability Control(ESC) is on.
• Vehicle speed is approximately above 15 km/h (9mph) on curve
roads.
• Vehicle speed is approximately above 20 km/h (12mph) when the
vehicle is braking on rough roads.
When operating
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may activate the
ESC, you may hear sounds from the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sen-
sation in the brake pedal. This is nor-
mal and it means your VSM is active.
i
NOTICE
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
•ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The VSM is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices.
•Never drive too fast for the
road conditions. The VSM sys-
tem will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe
accidents.

Driving your vehicle
The Four Wheel Drive (4WD)
System delivers engine power to all
front and rear wheels for maximum
traction. 4WD is useful when extra
traction is required on roads such
slippery, muddy, wet, or snow-cov-
ered roads.
Occasional off-road use such as
established unpaved roads and trails
are OK. It is always important that
the driver carefully reduces the
speed to a level that does not exceed
the safe operating speed for those
conditions. • Do not drive in water if the level
is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.
• Check your brake condition once you are out of mud or
water. Depress the brake pedal
several times as you move slow-
ly until you feel normal braking
return.
• Shorten your scheduled mainte- nance interval if you drive in off-
road conditions such as sand,
mud or water.
• Always wash your vehicle thor- oughly after off road use, espe-
cially the bottom of the vehicle.
• Be sure to equip the vehicle with four tyres of the same size and
type.
• Make sure that a full time 4WD vehicle is towed by a flat bed
tow truck.
NOTICE
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) (IF EQUIPPED)
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging
off-road conditions.
•Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
•Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
•The risk of a rollover is great-
ly increased if you lose con-
trol of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
•Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
•In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.

Driving your vehicle
• Maintain 4WD Auto mode when driving on roads in normal con-
ditions.
• When driving under normal road conditions (especially when cor-
nering) in 4WD Lock mode, a
driver may find minor mechani-
cal vibration or noise, which is
extremely normal phenomenon,
not a malfunction. When 4WD
Lock mode is released, such
noise or vibration will be imme-
diately gone. When the 4WD LOCK mode is
deactivated, a sensation may be
felt as the driving power is deliv-
ered entirely to the front wheels.
For safe 4WD operation
Before driving
• Make sure all passengers are
wearing seat belts.
• Sit upright and closer to the steer- ing wheel than usual. Adjust the
steering wheel to a position com-
fortable for you to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy
roads
• Start off slowly by applying theaccelerator pedal gently.
• Use snow tyres or tyre chains.
• Keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.
• Use engine braking during deceler- ation.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns to prevent skids.
NOTICE
NOTICE
When driving on normal roads,
deactivate the 4WD LOCK mode
by pushing the 4WD LOCK but-
ton (4WD LOCK indicator light
goes off). Driving on normal
roads with the 4WD LOCK
mode, especially, when corner-
ing may cause mechanical
noise or vibration. The noise
and vibration will disappear
when the 4WD LOCK mode is
deactivated. Prolong driving
with the noise and vibration
may damage some parts of the
power train.
CAUTION
If 4WD warning light ( ) stays
on the instrument cluster, your
vehicle may have a malfunction
with the 4WD system. When the
4WD warning light ( ) illumi-
nates we recommend that the
vehicle be checked by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer
as soon as possible.

FCA sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor cover or sensor is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris.
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
WARNING
The FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, such
as the distance from the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle ahead, and the
driver's vehicle speed. Certain
conditions such as inclement
weather and road conditions
may affect the operation of the
FCA system.
