ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be
used briefly to help free the vehicle if
stuck in snow or mud, by temporarily
stopping operation of the ESC, to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press
the ESC OFF button while driving on
a flat road surface.To prevent damage to the trans-
mission:
• Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively while
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 while 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.
Drive mode selection
When the ESC is on, the character-
istic of ESC varies according to
which drive mode is selected by
pressing the DRIVE MODE or N but-
ton on the steering wheel.
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System"
in this chapter.

Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system. It
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tires can suddenly become uneven.
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.

VSM operation
VSM ON condition
The VSM operates when:
• The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is on.
• Vehicle speed is approximately
above 9 mph (15 km/h) on curve
roads.
• Vehicle speed is approximately
above 12 mph (20 km/h) 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.
The VSM does not operate when:
• Driving on a banked road such
as gradient or incline.
• Driving rearward.
• ESC OFF indicator light is on.
• EPS (Electric Power Steering)
warning light ( ) is on or
blinks.Driving with wheels and tires with dif-
ferent sizes may cause the ESC sys-
tem to malfunction. Before replacing
tires, make sure all four tires and
wheels are the same size. Never
drive the vehicle with different sized
tires and wheels installed.
NOTICE
If ESC indicator light ( ) or
EPS warning light ( ) stays on
or blinks, your vehicle may have
a malfunction with the VSM sys-
tem. When the warning light illu-
minates, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as
possible.

Electronic Limited Slip Differential
refers to a feature equipped with a
mechanism that controls the differen-
tial functions of the wheels.
The Electronic Limited Slip
Differential helps:
- Improve handling performance
when circling at high speed.
- Improve launching performance.
- Prevent slipping on rainy or snowy
roads due to dissimilar friction of
the left and right wheels.Drive mode selection
The characteristic of e-LSD varies
according to which drive mode is
selected by pressing the DRIVE
MODE or N button on the steering
wheel.
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System"
in this chapter.
CUSTOM mode
You may select the drive mode you
prefer from the display audio screen.
• Select CUSTOM mode by pressing
the N button on the steering wheel.
The display audioscreen will dis-
play the CUSTOM mode menu.
From the CUSTOM mode menu,
select 'e-LSD →NORMAL/SPORT'.
• You may directly go to the CUS-
TOM mode menu by touching the
display audio screen.
For more details, refer to the dis-
play audio manual.

When ECO mode is activated:
• The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
• The air conditioner performance
may be limited.
• The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated, to improve fuel efficiency.Limitation of ECO mode opera-
tion:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in ECO indicator.
• When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
• When driving up a hill:
The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
The system will be limited due to
the shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is
deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.

erating
Information
In SPORT mode, the fuel efficiency
may decrease.

not compensate for driver's who
are inexperienced or lack famil-
iarity with the race track.
• Do not use Launch Control in
poor road condition (ex. wet,
sand, snow). Control over vehi-
cle may be lost with poor road
condition and driver inatten-
tions. Do not endanger other
road users by using Launch
Control.
• Do not use Launch Control dur-
ing break-in period of the vehi-
cle.
• Constant use of Launch Control
can put enormous stress on the
vehicle resulting in premature
wear of related components.
