Driving your vehicle
For your safety, the intelligent accelerator
pedal operates as follows:
• The accelerator pedal vibrates when
the lane departure warning system (if
equipped) detects the vehicle has
moved out of its lane.
• The reactive force of the accelerator
pedal increases when the fuel efficien-
cy is low.
The intelligent accelerator pedal function
is available for use in vehicles equipped
with lane departure warning system
(LDWS), vehicle stability management
(VSM) system or ECO driving mode.
The ECO-P (pedal) indicator light will illu-
minate when the ECO-P button is
pressed. If the fuel efficiency is low, the
reactive force of intelligent accelerator
pedal will be increased. It is allow to con-
trol over excess acceleration and you can
drive fuel efficiently to help you improve
fuel efficiency.
If you press the ECO-P button again, the
indicator light turns off and the intelligent
accelerator pedal is not operated in ECO
driving mode. The intelligent accelerator
pedal function is not activated in SPORT
mode either.To deactivate the intelligent accelerator
pedal function in vehicles equipped with
lane departure warning system (LDWS)
or vehicle stability management (VSM)
system, turn off the VSM or LDWS func-
tion by using each button.

CAUTION
Do not be surprised when the pedal
vibrates. It's not a malfunction but a
warning for your safety.

Driving your vehicle
Brake operating
• If the VSM senses the collision, the
brake system comes to standard mode
to react promptly when the driver oper-
ates the brake pedal.
• If the driver releases the accelerator
after warning in hazardous situations,
the VSM automatically brakes the vehi-
cle gently.
• If the driver hits the brake to reduce
vehicle speed, the brake assistant sys-
tem operates to raise efficiency of
braking.
• If danger disappears, if the driver
depresses the accelerator or if the driv-
er releases the brake pedal, the brake
operating stop.
Seat belt operating
The seat belt tightens when the vehicle
senses a collision.
To cancel the VSM
• If you press the VSM OFF button, the
warning operating and brake operating
will cancel and the VSM OFF indicator
illuminates on the instrument cluster.
To turn on the VSM, press the VSM
OFF button again. The VSM OFF indi-
cator goes out.
• If you press the ESP OFF button to
turn off the ESP, the VSM will cancel,
too.
WARNING
The VSM does not stop the vehicle
completely and does not avoid col-
lision. Always look ahead cautious-
ly to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occurring.
WARNING
The VSM operates according to the
distance from the vehicle ahead,
relative velocity and driver's opera-
tion of the brake or accelerator
pedal. Do not drive dangerously to
operate the VSM.

approximately 3 seconds. If the indica-
tor does not come on, or continuously
remains on after coming on for about 3
seconds when you turn the engine
start/stop button to the ON position, or

the VSM is not working properly. Take

when the ESP indicator or SCC indica-
tor comes on, but it does not indicate
malfunction of the VSM.
